Project description:Gene Copy Number Aberrations are Associated with Survival in Histological Subgroups of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (expression data)
Project description:Hypothesis: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by a multitude of genetic aberrations with unknown clinical impact. In this study, we aimed to identify gene copy number changes that correlate with clinical outcome in NSCLC. To maximize the chance to identify clinically relevant events, we applied a strategy involving two prognostically extreme patient groups. Results: Genetic aberrations were strongly associated with tumor histology. In adenocarcinoma (n=50), gene copy number gains on chromosome 8q21-q24.3 (177 genes) were more frequent in long-term survivors. In squamous cell carcinoma (n=28), gains on chromosome 14q23.1-24.3 (133 genes) were associated with shorter survival, whereas losses in a neighboring region, 14q31.1-32.33 (110 genes), correlated with favorable outcome. In accordance with copy number gains and losses, mRNA expression levels of corresponding genes were increased or decreased, respectively. Conclusion: Comprehensive tumor profiling permits the integration of genomic, histologic and clinical data. We identified gene copy number gains and losses, with corresponding changes in mRNA levels, that were associated with prognosis in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.

Project description:131 patient-derived xenograft models were generated for non-small cell lung carcinoma and were profiled at the genome, transcriptome and proteome level by analysis of gene copy number variation, whole exome sequencing, DNA methylation, transcriptome, proteome and phospho(Tyr)-proteome. At the proteome level, the human tumor and murine stroma were discernible. Tumor proteome profiling resolved the known major histological subtypes and revealed 3 proteome subtypes (proteotypes) among adenocarcinoma and 2 in squamous cell carcinoma that were associated with distinct protein-phosphotyrosine signatures and patient survival. Stromal proteomes were similar between histological subtypes, but two adenocarcinoma proteotypes had distinct stromal proteomes. Proteotypes comprise tumor and stromal signatures of targetable biological pathways suggesting that patient stratification by proteome profiling may be an actionable approach to precisely diagnose and treat cancer.
Project description:East-Asian (EA) patients with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) are associated with a high proportion of non-smoking women, EGFR activating somatic mutations, and clinical responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We identify copy number alterations specific to EA and Western European (WE) NSCLCs and conducted an integrative analysis using transcritomic data for identifying copy-number-driven candidate genes. Samples were hybridized to Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP 6.0 arrays according to the manufacturer’s specifications in the same center. 226 lung adenocarcinomas (90 East-Asian and 136 Western-European) were analyzed for copy-number aberrations (CNAs) using a common high resolution SNP microarray platform.

We identified gene copy number gains and losses, with corresponding changes in mRNA levels, that were associated with prognosis in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Short-term (<20 months; n=53) and long-term survivors (>58 months;n=47) were selected from a clinically well-characterized NSCLC patient cohort with available fresh-frozen tumor specimens. The samples were analyzed using high-resolution SNP-array technology. The molecular data was combined with information on clinical parameters.
