Microscaled proteogenomics was deployed to probe the molecular basis for differential response to neoadjuvant carboplatin & docetaxel combination chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Proteomic analyses of pre-treatment biopsies uniquely revealed that metabolic pathways including oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid metabolism and glycolysis were resistance-associated. Both proteomics and transcriptomics revealed that sensitivity was marked by elevation of DNA repair, E2F targets, G2M checkpoint, interferon-gamma response, and immune checkpoint components. Proteogenomic analyses of somatic copy number aberrations identified a resistance-associated 19q13.32-33 deletion where LIG1, POLD1 and XRCC1 are located. In orthogonal datasets, LIG1 (DNA ligase I involved in lagging strand synthesis) gene deletion and/or low mRNA expression were associated with lack of pathological complete response and poor prognosis in TNBC, as well as selective carboplatin-resistance in TNBC patient-derived xenograft models. Low expression or LIG1 loss was also associated with higher chromosomal instability index (CIN) and poor prognosis in other cancer types, demonstrating that deletion of lagging-strand synthesis components has broad clinical significance.
