UV biomarker genes for classification and risk stratification of cutaneous actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma subtypes.

ABSTRACT: Currently, there is no sensitive molecular test for identifying transformation-prone actinic keratoses (AKs) and aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) subtypes. Biomarker-based molecular testing represents a promising tool for risk stratifying these lesions. We evaluated the utility of a panel of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-biomarker genes in distinguishing between benign and transformation-prone AKs and SCCs. The expression of the UV-biomarker genes in 31 SCC and normal skin (NS) pairs and 10 AK/NS pairs was quantified using the NanoString nCounter system. Biomarker testing models were built using logistic regression models with leave-one-out cross validation in the training set. The best model to classify AKs versus SCCs (area under curve (AUC) 0.814, precision score 0.833, recall 0.714) was constructed using a top-ranked set of 13 UV-biomarker genes. Another model based on a 15-gene panel was developed to differentiate histologically concerning from less concerning SCCs (AUC 1, precision score 1, recall 0.714). Finally, 12 of the UV-biomarker genes were differentially expressed between AKs and SCCs, while 10 genes were uniquely expressed in the more concerning SCCs. UV-biomarker gene subsets demonstrate dynamic utility as molecular tools to classify and risk stratify AK and SCC lesions, which will complement histopathologic diagnosis to guide treatment of high-risk patients.

Molecular profiling of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and actinic keratoses from organ transplant recipients

Project description:The risk of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is markedly increased in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) compared to the normal population. Next to sun exposure, the immunosuppressive regimen is an important risk factor for the development of SCC in OTRs. Various gene mutations (e.g. TP53) and genetic alterations (e.g. loss of CDKN2A, amplification of RAS) have been found in SCCs. The aim of this genome-wide study was to identify pathways that are consistently involved in the formation of SCCs and their precursor lesions, actinic keratoses (AKs). To perform the analysis in an isogenic background, RNA and DNA were isolated from normal (unexposed) epidermis, benign AK, and SCC from each of 15 OTRs. Hierarchical cluster analysis of mRNA expression profiles showed SCC, AK and epidermal samples to separate into three distinct groups. Several thousand genes were differentially expressed between epidermis, AK and SCC; most upregulated in SCCs were genes related to hyperproliferation and stress markers, such as keratin 6 (KRT6), KRT16 and KRT17. Matching to oncogenic pathways revealed activation of downstream targets of RAS and cMYC in SCCs and of NFkappaB and TNF already in AKs. Patients were selected from the group of OTRs that are regularly seen at the dermatology clinic of the Leiden University Medical Center. Patients with clinically suspected SCC were informed on the study and after informed consent was obtained, fresh frozen samples were obtained from SCCs (n=15), AKs (n=14) and NS (n=13). RNA was isolated and gene expression profiles were obtained using HumanWG-6 v2 Expression BeadChips (Illumina). The normalized expression data was analyzed for differences in expression between SCC, AK and NS, at single-gene level but also at geneset level.

Genome-wide SNP analysis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and actinic keratoses from organ transplant recipients

Project description:The risk of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is markedly increased in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) compared to the normal population. Next to sun exposure, the immunosuppressive regimen is an important risk factor for SCC development in OTRs. Various gene mutations (e.g. TP53) and genetic alterations (e.g. CDKN2A loss, RAS amplification) have been found in SCCs. The aim of this study was to identify genomic alterations that are consistently involved in the formation of SCCs and their precursor lesions, actinic keratoses (AKs). To perform the analysis in an isogenic background, DNA was isolated from SCC and AK from each of 13 OTRs. Tumor samples and their matching normal control (peripheral blood) were analyzed on the Illumina HumanHap550V3_duo genotyping beadchips. In contrast to previous studies, genome-wide SNP analysis showed very few copy number variations in AKs and SCCs, and these variations had no apparent relationship with observed changes in mRNA expression profiles (GSE32628). Other molecular mechanisms, such as DNA methylation or miRNA alterations, may affect gene expression in SCCs of OTRs. Patients were selected from the group of OTRs that are regularly seen at the dermatology clinic of the Leiden University Medical Center. Patients with clinically suspected SCC were informed on the study and after informed consent was obtained, fresh frozen samples were obtained from SCCs (n=15, including 2 repeats) and AKs (n=11). Peripheral blood was taken as normal control. DNA was isolated and SNP profiles were obtained using HumanHap550V3_duo Genotyping BeadChips (Illumina). Both the log R ratio and the B allele frequency (BAF) were investigated to identify copy number alterations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) The tumor DNA samples are from the same tumor samples as the RNA samples in GSE32628.
