Project description:Individuals who present with premalignant endobronchial lesions are considered at high risk of lung cancer. Nonetheless, premalignant lesions behave erratically and only a minority progresses towards lung cancer. Therefore, biomarkers need to be discovered that can aid in assessing an individual’s risk for subsequent cancer to better tailor treatment choices and avoid unnecessary follow-up procedures. We recently proposed a classifier of DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) at 3p26.3-p11.1, 3q26.2-29, and 6p25.3-24.3 as risk predictor for endobronchial cancer. The current study was set out to validate the classifier among an independent series of premalignant endobronchial lesions with various histological grades. A series of 36 endobronchial premalignant lesions (8 squamous metaplasia, and 28 various grades of dysplasia) identified during autofluorescence bronchoscopy of 12 case subjects who had carcinoma in situ or carcinoma (≥CIS) during follow-up bronchoscopy at the initial site and 24 control subjects who remained cancer-free, was subjected to array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (arrayCGH). DNA copy number profiles were related to lesion outcome. Prediction accuracy of the previously defined molecular classifier to predict endobronchial cancer in this series was determined. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis revealed a significant association between cluster assignment and lesion outcome (p< 0.001), independent of histological grade, with quiescent profiles in controls (24/24) and aberrant profiles in the majority of cases (9/12). Our pre-defined classifier demonstrated 92% accuracy for predicting cancer outcome in the current sample series. Our validated classifier holds great promise for stratification of patients with premalignant endobronchial lesions for risk of subsequent cancer. Fresh frozen specimens of 36 premalignant endobronchial biopsies. Test samples were compared to an external pool of normal male/female reference DNA.

Project description:BACKGROUND Autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) is a valid strategy for detecting premalignant endobronchial lesions. However, no biomarker can reliably predict lung cancer risk of subjects with AFB-visualized premalignant lesions. Our present study was set out to identify AFB-visualized squamous metaplastic lesions with malignant potential by DNA copy number profiling. METHODS Regular AFB-examinations in 474 subjects at risk of lung cancer identified 6 subjects with SqM lesions at baseline and carcinoma (in situ) at the initial SqM site at follow-up bronchoscopy. These progressive SqM lesions were compared for immunostaining pattern and arrayCGH-based chromosomal profiles to 23 SqM of subjects who remained cancer-free. Specific copy number alterations (CNAs) linked to cancer risk were identified and accuracy of CNAs to predict endobronchial cancer in this series was determined. RESULTS At baseline, p53, p63 and Ki-67 immunostaining were not predictive for a differential clinical outcome of SqM lesions. The mean number of CNAs in baseline SqM of cases was significantly higher compared to controls (p<0.01). Chromosomal regions significantly more frequently altered in SqM of cases were 3p26.3-p11.1, 3q26.2-q29, 9p13.3-p13.2, and 17p13.3-p11.2 (FWER<0.10). CNAs were specifically detected at the site of future cancer. In cases, baseline-detected CNAs persisted in subsequent biopsies taken from the initial site, and levels increased towards cancer progression. CNAs at 3p26.3-p11.1, 3q26.2-29, and 6p25.3-24.3, predicted cancer risk for AFB-visualized SqM with 97% accuracy. CONCLUSION Our data strongly suggest that the presence of specific DNA copy number alterations in endobronchial SqM lesions predict endobronchial cancer.

Project description:Samples were obtained as part of a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, phase IIb study to determine the effects of myo-inositol in smokers with bronchial dysplasia. Smokers with greater than 1 site of dysplasia identified by autofluorescence bronchoscopy-directed biopsy were randomly assigned to receive oral placebo or myo-inositol, 9 g once/day for two weeks and then twice/day for 6 months. Cytologically normal airway epithelial cells were obtained via bronchoscopy from the right or left mainstem bronchus at baseline and 6 months post-treatment with myo-inositol or placebo from 69 study participants (n=138 samples). The RNA from these samples was isolated and used to prepare libraries for mRNA sequencing. Subjects were classified by response according to their change in dysplasia rate after 6-months. Among subjects with a complete response in the myo-inositol arm, there was a significant decrease in a gene expression signature reflective of PI3K activation.

Project description:Exposure to cigarette smoke creates a field of injury throughout the entire respiratory tract inducing genomic alterations that lead to an “at-risk” airway where and lung cancers develop. Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arises in the epithelial layer of the bronchial airways and is often preceded by the development of premalignant lesions(PMLs). The presence of high-grade persistent or progressive PMLs is a marker of increased lung cancer risk both at the lesion site elsewhere in the lung. Effective tools to identify and treat premalignant lesions at highest risk of progression to invasive carcinoma are lacking. We profiled via RNA-Seq airway brushing and biopsies (divided into two cohorts: discovery and validation) obtained from high-risk smokers undergoing lung cancer screening via serial auto-fluorescence bronchoscopy procedures. We identified four distinct molecular subtypes (Proliferative, Inflammatory, Secretory, and Normal) in the bronchial biopsies that correspond to a spectrum of biological and morphological alterations. The Proliferative subtype was enriched with dysplastic PMLs from current smokers that exhibit up-regulation of KRT5 and KI67 as well as metabolic and cell cycle pathways, and down-regulation of cilium-associated processes and FOXJ1 expression. Molecular subtype classification in the validation cohort biopsies replicated these significant clinical and biological associations. Airway brushes from normal fluorescing areas of the large airway classified as the Proliferative subtype specifically predicts the presence of biopsies of this same subtype. Within the Proliferative subtype, genes associated with interferon signaling and antigen processing and presentation were observed to be down-regulated among dysplastic biopsies that persistent or progress in the future. Innate and adaptive immune cells were computationally predicted to be depleted in these biopsies and this was confirmed via immunofluorescence staining of adjacent biopsies. These findings provide a proof of concept that molecular biomarkers of endobronchial biopsies can enhance histopathological grading and that immunoprevention strategies are an important future direction in intercepting the progression of PMLs to lung cancer.

Project description:Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is thought to arise from premalignant lesions in the airway epithelium, therefore studying these lesions is critical for understanding lung carcinogenesis. We performed RNA sequencing on laser-microdissected representative cell populations along the SCC pathological continuum of patient-matched normal basal cells, premalignant lesions, and tumor cells. We discovered transcriptomic changes and identified genomic pathways altered with initiation and progression of SCC within individual patients. We used immunofluorescent staining to confirm gene expression changes in premalignant lesions and tumor cells, including increased expression of SLC2A1, CEACAM5, and PTBP3 at the protein level and increased activation of MYC via nuclear translocation. Cytoband enrichment analysis revealed coordinated loss and gain of expression in chromosome 3p and 3q regions, respectively, during carcinogenesis. This is the first gene expression profiling of airway premalignant lesions with patient-matched samples that provides insight into the mechanisms of stepwise lung carcinogenesis. Profiling of mRNA expression in laser-microdissected normal airway basal cells, premalignant airway lesions, and lung SCC tumor cells by massively parallel RNA sequencing.
