Project description:Chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is a treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Using a novel transcriptomic profiling panel, we validated prognostic immune biomarkers for response to CRT on 70 pre-treatment tumor samples from NRG/RTOG 0524 and 0712, two prospective trials of MIBC. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and stratified by genes correlated with immune cell proportions and activation. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess group differences. Sample clustering based on gene expression profiles driven by immune cell proportions demonstrated cluster 2 with a high percentage of immune cell content with significantly longer DFS (Hazard Ratio (HR): 0.53 (95% CI: 0.26 – 1.10), p=0.071) and OS (HR: 0.48 (95% CI: 0.24 – 0.97), p=0.040) than cluster 1 with a low percentage of immune cell content. Higher expression of T cell infiltration genes (CD8A and ICOS ) showed longer DFS (HR: 0.40 (95% CI: 0.21 – 0.75), p=0.005) and OS (HR: 0.49 (95% CI: 0.25 – 0.94), p=0.033). Higher expression of interferon gamma signaling (IDO1) also showed longer DFS (HR: 0.44 (95% CI: 0.24 – 0.88), p=0.021) and OS (HR: 0.49 (95% CI: 0.24 – 0.99), p=0.048). These findings have treatment implications that should be validated in CRT MIBC trials particularly those that integrate immunotherapy.

Project description:Background: Local recurrence is the major manifestation of treatment failure in patients with operable laryngeal carcinoma. Established clinicopathological factors cannot sufficiently predict patients that are likely to recur after treatment. Additional tools are therefore required to accurately identify patients at high risk for recurrence. Methods: Using Affymetrix U133A Genechips, we profiled fresh-frozen tumor tissues from 59 patients with operable laryngeal cancer. All patients were treated locally with surgery, with or without radiation therapy. We performed Cox regression proportional hazards modeling to identify multigene predictors of recurrence. The end-point of our analysis was disease-free survival (DFS). Gene models were directly validated in a separate, similarly treated cohort of 50 patients using Affymetrix chips. In an attempt to further validate our results, we profiled 12 selected genes of our model in formalin-fixed tumor tissues from an independent cohort of 75 patients, using quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: We focused on genes univariately associated with DFS (p<0.05) in the training set. Among several gene models comprising different numbers of genes, a 30-gene model demonstrated optimal performance (log-rank, p<0.001). We directly applied these gene models to the validation set, after adjusting for non-biological experimental variability, and observed similar results. Specifically, median DFS, as predicted by the 30-gene model, was 34 and 80 months for high- and low-risk patients, respectively (p=0.01). Hazard Ratio (HR) for recurrence for the high-risk group was 3.87 (95% CI 1.28-11.73, p=0.017). Furthermore, unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the 75 patients, based on the qRT-PCR 12-gene profile, yielded two groups, which differed significantly in DFS (log-rank, p=0.027). HR= for recurrence was 2.26, (95% CI 1.08-4.76, p=0.031). Conclusion: We have established and validated gene models that can successfully stratify patients with laryngeal cancer, based on their risk for recurrence. Thus, patients with unfavorable prognosis, when accurately identified, could be ideal candidates for the application of more aggressive treatment modalities. Training set comprises 59 samples and validation set 50 samples

Project description:Background Despite improvement in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, a significant percentage of patients with early stage laryngeal cancer still recur after treatment. Gene expression models prognostic of recurrence risk could suggest which patients with early stage laryngeal cancer would be more appropriate for testing adjuvant strategies. Patients and Methods Expression profiling using whole genome DASL arrays was performed on 56 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples of patients with early stage laryngeal cancer, treated with surgery or radiation therapy. We split the samples into a training set and a validation set. Using the supervised principal components survival analysis in the first cohort, we identified multiple gene expression profiles that predict the risk of recurrence. These profiles were then validated in the second independent cohort. Results Gene models comprising different number of genes (40-100) identified a subgroup of patients who were at high risk of recurrence. Of these, the best prognostic model distinguished between a high- and a low-risk group (median DFS: 92 and 123 months, log rank p<0.005, permutation p<0.05), Hazard Ratio (HR): 8.51 (95% CI, 1.01 to 71.77; p<0.05). These models performed similarly in the independent cohort of our study (median DFS: 38 vs 161 months, log rank p=0.018), HR=5.19 (95% CI, 1.14 to 23.57; p<0.05). Conclusions We have identified gene expression prognostic models which can refine the estimation of a patient’s risk of recurrence. These findings, if further validated, should aid in patient stratification for testing adjuvant treatment strategies. 56 patients with early stage laryngeal cancer were included in this study.

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to independently validate two biomarkers, a 44-gene DNA Damage Immune Response (DDIR) signature and stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs), as prognostic markers in TNBC patients treated with adjuvant doxorubicin (A) and cyclophosphamide (C) in SWOG 9313. Materials & Methods: 425 centrally determined TNBC cases from S9313 were identified. DDIR signature was performed on RNA isolated from FFPE tumor tissue (n=381), and samples were classified as DDIR-negative or positive using predefined cutoffs. Evaluation of sTILs was performed as previously described. Markers were tested for prognostic value for disease-free and overall survival (DFS, OS) using Cox regression models adjusted for treatment assignment nodal status and tumor size. Results: Among 425 TNBC patients, median age was 45 years, and 33% were node-positive. DDIR was successfully tested in 90% (381/425) of cases, of which 62% were DDIR signature-positive. DDIR signature positivity was associated with improved DFS (HR=0.67; 95% CI 0.48–0.92, P=0.014) and OS (HR=0.61; 95% CI 0.43–0.89, P=0.009). sTILs density assessment was available in 99% of patients and was associated with improved DFS (HR=0.70; 95% CI 0.51–0.96, P=0.028 for sTILs density ≥20% vs. <20%) and OS (HR=0.59; 95% CI 0.41–0.85, P=0.004 for sTILs density ≥20% vs. <20%). The DDIR signature score and sTILs density were moderately correlated (r=0.62) which precluded statistical significance for DFS in a joint model (P=0.08 for DDIR and P=0.25 for sTILs). Conclusion: The prognostic role of sTILs and DDIR in early-stage TNBC was confirmed. DDIR signature conferred improved prognosis in two-thirds of TNBC patients treated with adjuvant AC. DDIR signature has potential to stratify outcome and identify patients with less projected benefit following AC chemotherapy.

Project description:Objectives: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression primarily through post-transcriptional modification. We tested the hypothesis that miRNA expression is associated with overall survival in advanced ovarian cancer. Methods: Cases included newly diagnosed patients with stage III or IV serous ovarian cancer. RNA from a training set of 62 cases was hybridized to an miRNA microarray containing 470 mature human transcripts. Cox regression was performed to identify miRNAs associated with overall survival. External validation was performed using quantitative RT-PCR miRNA assays in an independent test set of 123 samples. MiRNA targets and associated biologic pathways were predicted in silico. Results: Of all patients, 80% had high-grade, stage IIIC tumors and 64% underwent optimal cytoreduction. The median survival for the entire cohort was 49 ± 4 months. The training set identified 3 miRNAs associated with survival - miR-337, miR-410, and miR-645. An miRNA signature containing miR-410 and miR-645 was most strongly associated with overall survival in the training set (HR=2.96, 95% CI: 1.51-5.78). This miRNA survival signature (MiSS) was validated in the test set (HR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.05-2.78). The MiSS was independent of FIGO stage and surgical debulking. Conclusions: The data suggest that an MiSS that contains miR-410 and miR-645 is negatively associated with overall survival in advanced serous ovarian cancer. This signature, when further validated, may be useful in individualizing care for the ovarian cancer patient. Pathway analyses identify biologically plausible mechanisms. Cases included newly diagnosed patients with stage III or IV serous ovarian cancer. RNA from a training set of 62 cases was hybridized to an miRNA microarray containing 470 mature human transcripts. Cox regression was performed to identify miRNAs associated with overall survival.

Project description:Esophageal cancer is a highly malignant and prevalent cancer worldwide. Current TNM staging system is insufficient for prognosis of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate miRNA expression profile of ESCC and identify a miRNA signature which robustly predict the survival of ESCC patients. MiRNA expression profiles of paired frozen tissues from 119 ESCC patients were assessed by microarray. After normalization of microarray data, the patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=60) and a test set (n=59). From the training set, we identified a four-miRNA prognostic signature (including hsa-miR-218-5p, hsa-miR-142-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, and hsa-miR-205-5p) using random forest supervised classification algorithm and nearest shrunken centroid algorithm. This signature distinguished the patients into high-risk or low-risk groups whose overall survival differed significantly (5-year survival 7.4% vs. 66.7%, p<0.001). Prognostic value of this signature was validated in the test set (5-year survival 18.8% vs. 46.5%, p=0.025) and further in an independent cohort of 58 patients assessed by a different platform (5-year survival 11.4% vs. 56.7%, p=0.003). Furthermore, multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that this signature is an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients. Moreover, stratified analysis showed that this signature was able to predict survival within TNM stages. The expression level of the four miRNAs measured by microarray was verified by qRT-PCR and showed high level of positive correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient>0.75, p<0.001 for all). Our results suggest that the four-miRNA signature can serve as a reliable biomarker to predict the survival of ESCC patients. the miRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 119 ESCC patients were used to identify a miRNA signature that can perdict the survival of ESCC patients.

Project description:Chemoresistance in cancer is linked to a subset of cancer cells termed “cancer stem cells” (CSCs), and in particular, those expressing the CD44 variant appear to represent a more aggressive disease phenotype. Herein, we demonstrate that CD44v6 represents a CSC population with increased resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, and its high expression is frequently associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR:3.04; CI:1.35–6.85; p<0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR:5.30, CI:1.64–17.12, p<0.01) in CRC patients. CD44v6+ cells showed elevated resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs and significantly high tumor initiation capacity. The inhibition of CD44v6 resulted in the attenuation of self-renewal capacity and re-sensitization to chemotherapeutic agents. Of note, miRNA profiling of CD44v6+ SDCSCs identified a unique panel of miRNAs indicative of high self-renewal capacity. In particular, miR-1246 was overexpressed in CD44v6+ cells, and associated with poor OS (HR:2.44, CI:1.15–5.18, p<0.05) and DFS (HR:2.37, CI:1.03–5.44, p<0.05) in CRC patients. We demonstrate that CD44v6+ CSCs induced chemoresistance and enhance tumorigenicity in CRC cells, which is in part orchestrated by dysregulated profiles of a distinct panel of miRNAs. These findings provide a rationale for the therapeutic targeting of specific miRNAs, as well as serving as promising prognostic biomarkers in patients with colorectal neoplasia.
