Dynamic change of IDO1 activity predicts survival in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC and chemoradiotherapy
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: High activity of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase1 (IDO1) in lung cancer patients converts tryptophan (Trp), which is the essential amino acid for T cell metabolism, to kynurenine (Kyn) and consequently suppresses anti-tumor immune responses. We aimed to track the dynamics of IDO1 activity in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who received first-line radiotherapy (RT) and explore its association with survival outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Systemic IDO1 activity was calculated by Kyn:Trp ratio. Plasma levels of Kyn and Trp in 113 thoracic RT-received stage III NSCLC patients were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography before the initiation of RT. Dynamic change of IDO1 activity was followed in 24 patients by measuring Kyn:Trp ratio before, during and after RT administration. RESULTS: In 24 patients with dynamic tracking of plasma IDO1 activity, there was no significant alterations observed among the 3 time points (Friedman test, p=0.13). The changing pattern of Kyn:Trp ratio was divided into 4 groups: decreased consistently during RT, first increased then decreased, increased consistently, first decreased then increased. Patients whose Kyn:Trp ratio kept decreasing or first increased then decreased were defined as good-change group. The good-change status was identified as an independent positive factor for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.04; p=0.01) in multivariate analysis among evaluated parameters. Patients with good change showed significantly superior local control than bad-change group (p=0.01, HR=0.22). In 113 stage III NSCLC patients with pre-radiation Kyn:Trp ratio, a trend that high baseline IDO1 activity was associated with short OS was observed (p=0.079). CONCLUSION: Favorable change of IDO1 activity during RT was associated with superior OS, PFS and local control. IDO1 activity is a promising biomarker for prognosis in stage III NSCLC patients.

Project description:Surgical resection is the major clinical intervention for Stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) currently. However, as much as 30.8% of the patients who had ever taken curative resection came out of recurrence eventually. Therefore, to facilitate formulating effective treatment plans, there is an intense demand for Stage III CRC post-surgical prognostic biomarkers. In this study, we identified total 146 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) associated with poor prognosis in Stage III CRC patients with TMT-based quantitative mass spectrometry (MS). In these DEPs, the protein expression level of R-Ras and Transgelin were tested with immunohistochemistry (IHC) of 192 individual specimens. Further Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the level of R-Ras and Transgelin is associated with patients’ 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) significantly, and multivariate Cox-regression analyses revealed that R-Ras and Transgelin are independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS respectively. In conclusion, our study presents that R-Ras and Transgelin are potential post-surgical prognostic biomarkers of Stage III CRC.

Project description:Purpose: The present study aimed to develop a classification model to predict recurrence in stage II and III colon cancer, using a previously published 128-gene signature on external and independent material. Experimental Design: Microarray gene expression data from 148 patients (37 Danish patients and 111 patients retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus, GSE17536) with stage II and III colon cancer were analyzed using Affymetrix Arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA). Based on a known 128-gene signature, a classification model was created with the random forest method, using a training set consisting of stage I colon cancers (with localized disease and a good prognosis) and stage IV colon cancers (with metastasis and a poor prognosis). The classifier were built to predict stage II and III colon cancers as either stage I-like (good prognosis) or stage IV-like (poor prognosis). Results: The 3-year relapse-free survival probability (RFS) of stage III patients predicted to have a good prognosis was 79% compared to 55% of patients with a poor prognosis (P = 0.177, log-rank test). The classification model could not stratify stage II colon cancer. The complete dataset representing: (1) the 37 Danish patients (2) the 111 patients retrieved from Series GSE17536 (re-used data), is linked below as a supplementary file. Tumor samples were obtained from 37 patients with stage II and III colon cancer, who underwent colon resection at the Department of Surgery, Roskilde Hospital, Denmark and the Department of Surgery, Bispebjerg Hospital, Denmark between 2001 and 2008. Purified tumor RNA was reverse-transcribed, labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA) according to the manufacturers instructions and scanned at the RH Microarray Center, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen.

Project description:The AVAglio and RTOG-0825 randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trials in newly diagnosed glioblastoma reported prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), with the addition of bevacizumab to radiotherapy/temozolomide. To establish whether certain patient subgroups derived OS benefit from the addition of bevacizumab to first-line standard-of-care therapy, AVAglio patients were retrospectively evaluated for molecular subtype, and bevacizumab efficacy assessed for each patient subgroup. A multivariate analysis accounting for prognostic covariates revealed that bevacizumab conferred a significant OS advantage versus placebo for patients with Proneural IDH1 wild-type tumors (17.1 v 12.8 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.73; P = .002). This analysis also revealed an interaction between the Proneural subtype biomarker and treatment arm (P = .023). The group of patients with Mesenchymal and Proneural tumors derived a PFS benefit from bevacizumab, compared with placebo; however, this translated to an OS benefit in the Proneural subset only. Retrospective analysis of AVAglio data suggests that patients with IDH1 wild-type Proneural glioblastoma may derive OS benefit from first-line bevacizumab treatment. The predictive value of the Proneural subtype observed in AVAglio should be validated in an independent dataset.

Project description:The Piedmont study is a prospectively designed retrospective evaluation of a new 48-gene antifolate response signature (AF-PRS) in patients with locally advanced/metastatic NS-NSCLC treated with pemetrexed-containing platinum doublet chemotherapy (PMX-PDC). The study tested the hypothesis that the AF-PRS selects for patients with NS-NSCLC that preferentially respond to PMX-PDC, with a goal of providing clinical support for AF-PRS as potential diagnostic test. Overall, 53% of patients were AF-PRS(+), which was associated with extended PFS, but not OS, vs. AF-PRS(-) (16.6 vs. 6.6 mo; p = 0.025). In patients who were Stage I-III patients at time of treatment, PFS, but not OS, was further extended in AF-PRS(+) vs. AF-PRS(-) (36.2 vs. 9.3 mo; p = 0.03). A complete response (CR) to therapy was noted in 14 of 95 patients. AF-PRS(+) preferentially selected a majority (79%) of CRs, which were evenly split between patients Stage I-III (6 of 7) and Stage IV (5 of 7) at time of treatment. AF-PRS identified a significant population of patients with extended survival and/or clinical response following PMX-PDC treatment. AF-PRS may be a useful diagnostic test for patients indicated for systemic chemotherapy, especially when determining the optimal PDC regimen for locally advanced disease.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) has one of the highest worldwide incidences and mortality rates. Compared to surgery alone, adjuvant 5-Fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy improves 5-year overall survival (OS) in only 3-4% of stage II and 15-20% of stage III patients in unselected populations. Significant advances have been made in the molecular stratification of CRC, with the emerging Consensus Molecular Subtype (CMS) and Colorectal Cancer Intrinsic Signature (CRIS) transcriptomics-based classification systems; however, the therapeutic impact of molecular stratification has so far been limited. In an effort to identify subgroups of patients benefitting from chemotherapy, we assessed which CMS and CRIS subgroups of stage II and III CRC benefitted from adjuvant 5FU-based chemotherapy using in-house and published datasets.

A total of 349 (bevacizumab arm, n = 171; placebo arm, n = 178) pretreatment specimens from AVAglio patients (total n = 921) were available for biomarker analysis. Samples were profiled for gene expression and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status and classified into previously identified molecular subtypes. PFS and OS were assessed within each subtype.

Project description:Background: Only a subset of radically-resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients benefit from chemotherapy, and identification of novel prognostic factors is warranted. Recently miRNAs emerged as diagnostic biomarkers and innovative therapeutic targets, while high-throughput arrays are opening new opportunities to evaluate whether they can also predict clinical outcome. The present study evaluated whether comprehensive miRNA expression profiling correlated with overall survival (OS) in resected PDAC patients. Methodology/Principal Findings: High-resolution miRNA profiles were obtained with the Toray’s 3D-GeneTM miRNA chip, detecting more than 1200 types of human miRNA. RNA was isolated from paraffin-embedded primary tumors of 26 radically resected stage-pT3N1 homogeneously treated patients (adjuvant gemcitabine 1000mg/m2/day, days-1/8/15, every 28days), carefully selected according to their outcome (OS<12 vs. OS>30 months, i.e. short/long-OS). Highly stringent statistics included t-test, distance matrix with Spearman-ranked correlation, and iterative approaches. Unsupervised hierarchical analysis revealed that PDAC specimens clustered according to their short/long-OS classification, while the feature selection algorithm RELIEF identified the top-4 discriminating miRNAs between the two groups. These miRNAs target more than 1500 transcripts, including 169 targeted by two or more of these miRNAs. MiR-211 emerged as the best discriminating miRNA, with significantly higher expression in long- vs. short-OS patients. The expression of this miRNA was subsequently assessed by quantitative-PCR in an independent cohort of laser microdissected tumors from 60 resected stage-pT3N1 PDAC patients treated with the same gemcitabine regimen. Patients with low miR-211 expression according to median value had a significantly shorter median OS (14.8, 95%CI=13.1-16.5, vs. 25.7 months, 95%CI=16.2-35.1, log-rank P=0.004). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that low miR-211 expression was an independent factor of poor prognosis (hazard ratio 2.3, P=0.03) after adjusting for all the factors influencing outcome.

Project description:Nowadays, risk stratification for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is based on HPV status, tobacco smoking, and tumor stage. Although HPV positivity represents a strong prognostic factor for both reduced risk of relapse, and improved survival, there is a subset of HPV-positive OPSCC patients who still experience poor outcomes. Furthermore, HPV-negative OPSCC patients, who have an even higher risk of relapse within two years from the end of the treatment, are still lacking suitable prognostic biomarkers for clinical outcome. In this scenario, inclusion of new biomarkers that differentiate OPSCC patients with a diverse prognosis is urgently needed. Since genes encoding for epigenetic regulators have been frequently found mutated in several tumors, including OPSCC, it is expected that epigenetic changes may play a major role in OPSCC pathogenesis and response to therapy. Consistently, HPV oncoproteins have been also demonstrated to impact on epigenetic pattern by interacting with different epigenetic regulators, thus affecting the chromatin landscape of OPSCC HPV-positive cells. Along this line, we have recently demonstrated the methylation levels of the “Long interspersed nucleotide element-1” (LINE-1) repetitive elements, a widely accepted surrogate of overall genomic DNA methylation content, was different between HPV16-positive and -negative OPSCC patients. In particular, the lowest level of LINE-1 element methylation was observed in HPV16-negative OPSCC patients who relapsed within 24 months, thus indicating the overall level of genomic DNA methylation may have an impact on early OPSCC relapse risk. Despite these promising initial data, the influence of LINE1 methylation levels on OPSCC survival is not yet well defined. We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of 156 patients with stage III–IVB (AJCC TNM 7th Ed.) OPSCC. Forty patients were diagnosed and treated at Treviso Regional Hospital, and 116 at National Cancer Institute of Aviano and/or Pordenone Hospital. All patients were managed with curative intent with elective radiotherapy ± chemotherapy or surgery ± adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy, in accordance with current clinical practice. Genomic DNA was extracted from OPSCC formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. The quantification of HPV16 DNA was performed by real-time quantitative PCR by using specific primers for the amplification of a region spanning the E6 genes of the HPV16 genome, whereas the methylation status of LINE1 repetitive sequences was evaluated by real-time quantitative Methylation-Specific PCR. The impact of genome-wide methylation patterns on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analyses. Optimal cut-points for LINE-1 were search through a recursive algorithm which estimates the predictive value for PFS (Harrell's c-index) for each possible couple of LINE-1 values; optimal cut-points were defined as those which maximized Harrell's c-index. Multivariate hazard risk (HR) and corresponding confidence intervals (CI) were calculated according to Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for gender, age, TNM stage, and HPV status.The median follow up was 30 months (interquartile range: 17-72 months) Considering all cases, PFS and OS were respectively 64.6% and 71.8% at 2 years, and 49.5% and 53.7% at 5 years. HPV DNA prevalence was 28.8% (45/156). Compared to HPV-negative patients, HPV-positive ones had a better outcome in terms of PFS at 2 (81.0% vs. 58.2%) and 5 years (70.9% vs 41.6%; p=0.003), as well as in terms of OS (5-year OS: 74.1 vs. 45.9%, respectively; p=0.003). LINE-1 methylation level was significantly higher in HPV-positive OPSCC patients than in HPV-negative ones (median, 66.9% and 48.7% respectively; p<0.001). Three patterns of LINE-1 methylation status were indentified according to PFS: high ≥55%, medium 35-54%, low <35%. The same cut-points were identified from the analysis on OS. Analyzing all patients, PFS at 2 years was 75.9% in the high methylation group, 62.0% in the intermediate group, and 41.6% in the low methylation group (p≤0.001). Compared to LINE-1≥55%, multivariate HR were 1.66 (95% CI: 0.92-2.99) for LINE-1 35-54% and 2.84 (95% CI: 1.51-5.37) for LINE-1<35%. Moreover, OS at 2 and 5 years was significantly better in the high methylation group (p<0.001), with HRs of death similar to those for PFS. It is worth noting that the level of LINE-1 remained a prognostic factor for both PFS (p= 0.004) and of OS (p=0.011) when we restricted the analysis to HPV-negative patients. Among these patients, the multivariate HRs for LINE-1<35% were 2.87 (95% CI: 1.49-5.52) for PFS and 2.86 (1.43-5.74) for OS. In HPV-positive group, respect to patients with LINE-1 <55%, cases with a LINE-1≥55% have had better trend in terms of PFS and OS, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.112; p= 0.113), mainly due to small sample size. Between HPV-positive patients, only one had a methylation of LINE-1 < 35%. LINE-1 methylation has been identified as a molecular marker of prognosis for stage III-IV OPSCC patients, becoming a promising biomarker to be integrated in current prognostic factors (e.g., stage, HPV status, tobacco smoking) to refine the comprehensive clinical management of OPSCC. This is of particular clinical relevance for HPV-positive OPSCC patients, since this marker may help in indentify the subset of these patients with bad prognosis. However, further validation in a prospective study is needed for its application in daily clinical practice.
