Project description:BackgroundGenomic studies in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) lag far behind those carried out in nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To date, most SCLC studies have evaluated patients with surgically resectable disease. Here we sought to evaluate the genomic mutation spectrum of 'every-day' SCLC patient tumors with extensive stage disease (ES-SCLC) and to correlate mutations with the main clinical outcomes of response to chemotherapy, progression-free (PFS) and overall (OS) survival.Patients and methodsA total of 50 SCLC patient tumors were examined in this study; targeted exome sequencing was obtained on 42 patients and whole-exome sequencing on 8 patients. Mutated genes were correlated with clinical outcomes using Kaplan-Meier methods (PFS, OS) and logistic regression (chemo-response). RB1 protein expression was detected by either western blotting of cultured cell lysates or immunohistochemistry of tumor specimens.ResultsIn all, 39 patients had ES-SCLC; 15 patients had either primary refractory/resistant disease and 21 patients had sensitive disease. The two most frequently mutated genes were TP53 (86%) and RB1 (58%); other frequently mutated genes (>10% patients) were involved in epigenetic regulation as well as the mTOR pathway. We identified a number of low-frequency, targetable mutations, including RICTOR, FGFR1, KIT, PTCH1 and RET. Using multivariate analysis, RB1 was the only significant factor (P = 0.038) in predicting response to first-line chemotherapy, with an odds ratio of 5.58 comparing mutant RB1 with wild-type. Patients with mutant RB1 had both better OS (11.7 versus 9.1 months P = 0.04) and PFS (11.2 versus 8.6 months, P = 0.06) compared with patients with wild-type RB1. Interestingly, ∼25% of SCLC cell lines and tumor specimens expressed RB1 protein, possibly representing the subgroup with wild-type RB1.ConclusionsWe found that SCLC tumors harboring no mutation in RB1 had a poor response to chemotherapy.

Project description:IntroductionLung adenocarcinomas in young patients (<40 y) are more likely to harbor targetable genomic alterations. This study aimed to determine whether the prevalence of targetable alterations is greater in young adults with lung carcinoma than in the overall lung cancer population. To reach this rare patient population, a web-based platform was used to recruit and enroll patients remotely.MethodsIn this prospective study, patients less than 40 years old at the time of primary lung cancer diagnosis with confirmed lung carcinoma were recruited from four global sites and remotely by means of a website. Genotyping data were collected, if available, or obtained by means of next-generation sequencing using the FoundationOne platform. The prevalence of targetable alterations was quantified across patients with advanced adenocarcinoma.ResultsOverall, 133 patients across five continents were included, 41% of whom enrolled online. The mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 34 (5.2) years; 79% had stage IV disease at diagnosis. Among patients with adenocarcinoma (n = 115), 112 entered the study with previous genomic testing results and 86 (77%) had targetable alterations in EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET, ERBB2, or RET. Among those without targetable alterations, 14 received further testing and a targetable alteration was identified in eight (57%).ConclusionsThis study revealed the feasibility of using a web-based platform to recruit young patients with lung cancer and revealed that 94 of 112 (84%) with adenocarcinoma at any stage had targetable genomic alterations. Among patients with stage IV adenocarcinoma, 85% had a targetable alteration, which is higher than historical expectations for the general population.

Project description:PurposeThe objectives of our study were to assess the association of radiological imaging and gene expression with patient outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and construct a nomogram by combining selected radiomic, genomic, and clinical risk factors to improve the performance of the risk model.MethodsA total of 116 cases of NSCLC with CT images, gene expression, and clinical factors were studied, wherein 87 patients were used as the training cohort, and 29 patients were used as an independent testing cohort. Handcrafted radiomic features and deep-learning genomic features were extracted and selected from CT images and gene expression analysis, respectively. Two risk scores were calculated through Cox regression models for each patient based on radiomic features and genomic features to predict overall survival (OS). Finally, a fusion survival model was constructed by incorporating these two risk scores and clinical factors.ResultsThe fusion model that combined CT images, gene expression data, and clinical factors effectively stratified patients into low- and high-risk groups. The C-indexes for OS prediction were 0.85 and 0.736 in the training and testing cohorts, respectively, which was better than that based on unimodal data.ConclusionsCombining radiomics and genomics can effectively improve OS prediction for NSCLC patients.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the primary type. Unfortunately, it is often diagnosed at advanced stages, when therapy leaves patients with a dismal prognosis. Despite the advances in genomics and proteomics in the past decade, leading to progress in developing tools for early diagnosis, targeted therapies have shown promising results; however, the 5-year survival of NSCLC patients is only about 15%. Low-dose computed tomography or chest X-ray are the main types of screening tools. Lung cancer patients without specific, actionable mutations are currently treated with conventional therapies, such as platinum-based chemotherapy; however, resistances and relapses often occur in these patients. More noninvasive, inexpensive, and safer diagnostic methods based on novel biomarkers for NSCLC are of paramount importance. In the current review, we summarize genomic and proteomic biomarkers utilized for the early detection and treatment of NSCLC. We further discuss future opportunities to improve biomarkers for early detection and the effective treatment of NSCLC.

Project description:During the last two decades, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has played a key role in enhancing non-small cell lung cancer treatment paradigms through the application of "targeted therapy" in advanced and metastatic disease. The use of specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with oncogenic driver alterations, such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF V600E, MET, and NTRK mutations, among others, has changed treatment approaches and improved outcomes in patients with late-stage disease. Although NGS technology has mostly been used in the setting of systemic therapy to identify targets, response to therapy, and mechanisms of resistance, it has multiple potential applications for patients with earlier-stage disease, as well. In this review, we discuss the emerging role of NGS technologies to better understand tumor biology in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who are undergoing surgery with curative intent. In this patient cohort, we examine tumor heterogeneity, the underlying tumor genomics associated with lung adenocarcinoma subtypes, the prediction of recurrence after complete surgical resection, the use of plasma circulating tumor DNA for detection of early cancers and monitoring for minimal residual disease, the differentiation of separate primaries from intrapulmonary metastases, and the use of NGS to guide induction and adjuvant therapies.

Project description:Dynamic changes in RNA and protein levels after exposure to 100µmol/L nimesulide and low-dose 0.5µmol/L cisplatin in oral cancer cells were screened to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of cell death. After 48 hours of treatment, SCC9 and SCC25 cells were analyzed for apoptosis and necrosis by FACS, immunohistochemistry and analysis of nucleotides by HPLC. Microarray GeneChips and the iTRAQ system were used to measure changes in the whole genome and proteome. FACS and immunohistochemical analyses showed an increased number of apoptotic and necrotic SCC9 and SCC25 cells after nimesulide and cisplatin exposure. Simultaneously, ATP and the energy charge of the SCC9 cells were significantly decreased. In SCC25 cells, ATP only significantly decreased after combined nimesulide/cisplatin exposure. In the SCC9 cell line, gene and proteome analysis detected and quantified one gene, keratin 6a and 540 proteins, respectively. After combined treatment, significant upregulation of histone H2A, H2B and H4 could be found with a local discovery false rate of 0.003 and 0.0027 for histone H2A and histone H2B, respectively. Using gene and proteome mapping, we could show that combined treatment of oral cancer cells with nimesulide and low-dose cisplatin induce necrosis and early apoptosis by the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Our results suggest potential clinical benefits of a nimesulide/cisplatin combination rather than single cisplatin treatment for oral cancer patients. Cell culture: A squamous carcinoma cell line of the tongue, SCC9, was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, Maryland, USA). The cell line was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 100U/mL penicillin and 100µg/mL streptomycin (all reagents from Life Technologies Ltd, Paisley, Scotland) and incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. SCC9 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium and seeded at equal densities of 5x10^5 cells in 10cm tissue culture dishes. 24 hours later, cells were harvested using Trypsin/EDTA (Life Technologies Ltd, Paisley Scotland) and treated with 100µmol/L nimesulide, 0.5µmol/L cisplatin or a combination of nimesulide/cisplatin. Control dishes were treated in exactly the same way without the addition of the respective compound. The concentration of 100µmol/L for nimesulide was chosen as this concentration is in a pharmacologically relevant range for humans. cDNA microarray, hybridization and image analysis: RNA isolation and preparation of cRNA, hybridization, and scanning of the arrays were performed according to protocols of the manufacturer. Hybridization was done using three sets of human U133A GeneChips (Affymetrix, Ca, USA); only two nimesulide/cisplatin Samples are included in this submission. The arrays were scanned using the GeneArray scanner (Affymetrix). Data normalization was performed using RMA. The supplementary file 'GSE15308_sample_protocols.txt' contains detailed Sample protocols.

Project description:Metastasis is the leading cause of human cancer deaths. Unfortunately, no approved drugs are available for anti-metastatic treatment. In our study, high-throughput sequencing-based high-throughput screening (HTS2) and a breast cancer lung metastasis (BCLM)-associated gene signature were combined to discover anti-metastatic drugs. After screening of thousands of compounds, we identified Ponatinib as a BCLM inhibitor. Ponatinib significantly inhibited the migration and mammosphere formation of breast cancer cells in vitro and blocked BCLM in multiple mouse models. Mechanistically, Ponatinib represses the expression of BCLM-associated genes mainly through the ERK/c-Jun signaling pathway by inhibiting the transcription of JUN and accelerating the degradation of c-Jun protein. Notably, JUN expression levels were positively correlated with BCLM-associated gene expression and lung metastases in breast cancer patients. Collectively, we established a novel approach for the discovery of anti-metastatic drugs, identified Ponatinib as a new drug to inhibit BCLM and revealed c-Jun as a crucial factor and potential drug target for BCLM. Our study may facilitate the therapeutic treatment of BCLM as well as other metastases.

Project description:We characterized genome alterations in 1255 clinically annotated lung tumors of all histological subgroups to identify genetically defined and clinically relevant subtypes. More than 55% of all cases had at least one oncogenic genome alteration potentially amenable to specific therapeutic intervention, including several personalized treatment approaches that are already in clinical evaluation. Marked differences in the pattern of genomic alterations existed between and within histological subtypes, thus challenging the original histomorphological diagnosis. Immunohistochemical studies confirmed many of these reassigned subtypes. The reassignment eliminated almost all cases of large cell carcinomas, some of which had therapeutically relevant alterations. Prospective testing of our genomics-based diagnostic algorithm in 5145 lung cancer patients enabled a genome-based diagnosis in 3863 (75%) patients, confirmed the feasibility of rational reassignments of large cell lung cancer, and led to improvement in overall survival in patients with EGFR-mutant or ALK-rearranged cancers. Thus, our findings provide support for broad implementation of genome-based diagnosis of lung cancer.

Project description:Prostate Cancer is now the second biggest cause of cancer mortality in the UK. Media coverage has been rising, with some attributing to a rise in the cases diagnosed and treated in the NHS down to the "Fry and Turnbull effect". Our understanding of prostate cancer has increased tremendously in the past decades, with advances in molecular biology and genomics driving the way to new treatments and diagnostics. This Special Edition of Translational Andrology and Urology 2019: Prostate Cancer Biology and Genomics aims to review the current state of prostate cancer genomics, proteomics, diagnostics and treatment.
