Project description:Prior microarray studies of smokers at high risk for lung cancer have demonstrated that heterogeneity in bronchial airway epithelial cell gene expression response to smoking can serve as an early diagnostic biomarker for lung cancer. This study examines the relationship between gene expression variation and genetic variation in a central molecular pathway (NRF2-mediated antioxidant response) associated with smoking exposure and lung cancer. We assessed global gene expression in histologically normal airway epithelial cells obtained at bronchoscopy from smokers who developed lung cancer (SC, n=20), smokers without lung cancer (SNC, n=24), and never smokers (NS, n=8). Functional enrichment showed that the NRF2-mediated antioxidant response pathway differed significantly among these groups. Keywords: Global mRNA expression profiling

Project description:Cytologically normal airway epithelial samples were collected during bronchoscopy of current and former smokers. Subjects enrolled in this study were either under suspicion of having lung cancer, had dysplasia in their airway, or were a healthy current, former or never smoker. We supplemented existing GEO series (GSE4115 and GSE7895) with the samples in this study to explore PI3K pathway activity in the these cohorts. This study contains: 2 arrays from smokers with COPD (no lung cancer), 1 array from smoker without COPD (no lung cancer); 2 samples from patients with lung cancer, 2 samples from patients without lung cancer; 20 samples from 10 matched individuals with airway dysplasia before and after treatment with myo-inositol, 6 additional samples from individuals with airway dysplasia; 27 samples from mammary epithelial cells used in oncogenic pathway analysis that have either the PI3K pathway activated, the Np63 pathway activated, or are a GFP control.

Project description:Introduction: Lung cancer screening by computed tomography (CT) reduces mortality but exhibited high false-positive rates. We established a diagnostic classifier combining chest CT features with bronchial genomics. Materials and Methods: Patients with CT-detected suspected lung cancer were enrolled. The sample collected by bronchial brushing was used for RNA sequencing. R software was applied to build the model. Results: A total of 283 patients, including 183 with lung cancer and 100 with benign lesions, were included. When incorporating genomic data with radiological characteristics, the advanced model yielded 0.903 AUC with 81.1% NPV. Moreover, the classifier performed well regardless of lesion size, location, stage, histologic type, or smoking status. Pathway analysis showed enhanced epithelial differentiation, tumor metastasis, and impaired immunity were predominant in smokers with cancer, whereas tumorigenesis played a central role in non-smokers with cancer. Apoptosis and oxidative stress contributed critically in metastatic lung cancer; by contrast, immune dysfunction was pivotal in locally advanced lung cancer. Conclusions: We devised a minimal-to-noninvasive, efficient diagnostic classifier for smokers and non-smokers with lung cancer, which provides evidence for different mechanisms of cancer development and metastasis associated with smoking. A negative classifier result will help the physician make conservative diagnostic decisions.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In patients with suspicious pulmonary lesions, bronchoscopy is frequently non-diagnostic. This often results in additional invasive testing, including surgical biopsy, although many patients have benign disease. We sought to validate an airway gene-expression classifier for lung cancer in patients undergoing diagnostic bronchoscopy. METHODS: Two multicenter prospective studies (AEGIS 1 and 2) enrolled 1357 current or former smokers undergoing bronchoscopy for suspected lung cancer. Bronchial epithelial cells were collected from normal appearing mucosa in the mainstem bronchus during bronchoscopy. Patients without a definitive diagnosis from bronchoscopy were followed for 12 months. A gene-expression classifier was used to assess the risk of lung cancer, and its performance was evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 298 patients from AEGIS 1 and 341 from AEGIS 2 met criteria for analysis. Bronchoscopy was non-diagnostic for cancer in 272 of 639 patients (43%; 95%CI, 39-46%). The gene expression classifier correctly identified 431 of 487 patients with cancer (89% sensitivity; 95%CI, 85-91%), and 72 of 152 patients without cancer (47% specificity; 95%CI, 40-55%). The combination of the classifier and bronchoscopy had a sensitivity of 97% (95%CI, 95-98%), which was independent of size, location, stage, and histological subtype of lung cancer. In patients with an intermediate pre-test risk (10-60%) of lung cancer, the NPV of the classifier was 91% (95%CI 75-98%). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with an intermediate risk of lung cancer and a non-diagnostic bronchoscopy, a gene-expression classification of “low-risk” warrants consideration of a more conservative diagnostic approach that could reduce unnecessary invasive testing in patients with benign disease.

Project description:The initial site of smoking-induced lung disease is the small airway epithelium, which is difficult and time consuming to sample by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. We developed a rapid, office-based procedure to obtain trachea epithelium without conscious sedation from healthy nonsmokers (n=26) and healthy smokers (n=19, 27 ± 15 pack-yr). Gene expression differences [fold-change >1.5, p< 0.01, Benjamini-Hochberg correction] were assessed with Affymetrix microarrays. 1,057 probe sets were differentially expressed in healthy smokers vs nonsmokers, representing >500 genes. Trachea gene expression was compared to an independent group of small airway epithelial samples (n=23 healthy nonsmokers, n=19 healthy smokers, 25 ± 12 pack-yr). The trachea epithelium is more sensitive to smoking, responding with 3-fold more differentially-expressed genes than small airway epithelium. The trachea transcriptome paralleled the small airway epithelium, with 156 of 167 (93%) genes that are significantly up- and down-regulated by smoking in the small airway epithelium showing similar direction and magnitude of response to smoking in the trachea. Trachea epithelium can be obtained without conscious sedation, representing a less invasive surrogate “canary” for smoking-induced changes in the small airway epithelium. This should prove useful in epidemiologic studies correlating gene expression with clinical outcome in assessing smoking-induced lung disease.

Project description:Activation of the human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-signature genes has been observed in various epithelial cancers. In this study, we found that the hESC signature is selectively induced in the airway basal stem/progenitor cell population of healthy smokers (BC-S), with a pat-tern similar to that activated in all major types of human lung cancer. We further identified a subset of 6 BC-S hESC genes, whose coherent overexpression in lung AdCa was associated with reduced lung function, poorer differentiation grade, more advanced tumor stage, remarkably shorter survival and higher frequency of TP53 mutations. BC-S shared with hESC and a consid-erable subset of lung carcinomas a common TP53 inactivation molecular pattern which strongly correlated with the BC-S hESC gene expression. These data provide transcriptome-based evi-dence that smoking-induced reprogramming of airway BC towards the hESC-like phenotype might represent a common early molecular event in the development of aggressive lung carci-nomas in humans. Affymetrix arrays were used to assess gene expression data of genes realted to human embryonic stem cells in large airway epithelium obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy of 21 healthy non-smokers and 31 healthy smokers, basal cell culture of large airway epithelium obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy of 4 healthy nonsmokers and 4 healthy smokers and cells obtained from tumor tissues of 4 individuals.

Project description:Modification of Gene Expression of the Small Airway Epithelium in Response to Cigarette Smoking The earliest morphologic evidence of changes in the airways associated with chronic cigarette smoking is in the small airways. To help understand how smoking modifies small airway structure and function, we developed a strategy using fiberoptic bronchoscopy and brushing to sample the human small airway (10th-12th order) bronchial epithelium to assess gene expression (HG-133 Plus 2.0 array) in phenotypically normal smokers (n=10, 33 ± 7 pack-yr) compared to matched non-smokers (n=12). Even though the smokers were phenotypically normal, analysis of the small airway epithelium of the smokers compared to the non-smokers demonstrated up- and -down-regulation of genes in multiple categories relevant to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), including genes coding for cytokines/innate immunity, apoptosis, mucin, response to oxidants and xenobiotics, and general cellular processes. In the context that COPD starts in the small airways, these gene expression changes in the small airway epithelium in phenotypically normal smokers are candidates for the development of therapeutic strategies to prevent the onset of COPD.
