Mutational signature-based identification of DNA repair deficient gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas for therapeutic targeting


ABSTRACT: Homologous recombination (HR) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) are the two most frequently disabled DNA repair pathways in cancer. HR-deficient breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers respond well to platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. However, the frequency of HR deficiency in gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) still lacks diagnostic and functional validation. Using whole exome and genome sequencing data, we found that a significant subset of GEA, but very few colorectal adenocarcinomas, show evidence of HR deficiency by mutational signature analysis (HRD score). High HRD gastric cancer cell lines demonstrated functional HR deficiency by RAD51 foci assay and increased sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. Of clinical relevance, analysis of three different GEA patient cohorts demonstrated that platinum treated HR deficient cancers had better outcomes. A gastric cancer cell line with strong sensitivity to cisplatin showed HR proficiency but exhibited NER deficiency by two photoproduct repair assays. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed that, in addition to inducing apoptosis, cisplatin treatment triggered ferroptosis in a NER-deficient gastric cancer, validated by intracellular GSH assay. Overall, our study provides preclinical evidence that a subset of GEAs harbor genomic features of HR and NER deficiency and may therefore benefit from platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors.
