Outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer with uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor L858 substitutions under first-line epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors: A large real-world cohort study. Cancer Sci 2024. [PMID: 38932450 DOI: 10.1111/cas.16250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Atypical L858R or other L858X mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, beyond the classical EGFRL858R mutation caused by c.2573 T > G, have been identified in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet their genomic features and survival benefits with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment have not been fully explored. We retrospectively enrolled 489 NSCLC patients with baseline tumor tissue/plasma samples carrying uncommon EGFRL858R (N = 124), EGFRL858Q/M (N = 17), or classical EGFRL858R mutations (N = 348). The comparison of molecular features was performed using treatment-naïve tumor tissues. Survival benefits and resistance mechanisms of first-line EGFR TKI treatment were studied in an advanced disease subcohort. NSCLCs harboring uncommon EGFRL858R had lower TP53 mutation prevalence (p = 0.04) and chromosome instability scores (p = 0.02) than those with classical EGFRL858R. Concomitant EGFRL861Q mutations were enriched in NSCLCs with EGFRL858Q/M (p < 0.01), with cooccurrence in those carrying EGFRL858M. Patients with uncommon EGFRL858R experienced improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to those with classical EGFRL858R (median: 13.0 vs. 10.0 months, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41-0.80). The association remained significant when adjusting for sex, age, histological subtype, TKI category, and anti-vascular therapy (HR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.39-0.77). Furthermore, EGFRL858Q/M patients showed enhanced first-line PFS (vs. classical EGFRL858R, HR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.10-0.67), potentially benefiting more from afatinib. Additionally, NSCLCs with uncommon EGFRL858R and classical EGFRL858R had similar resistance profiles to EGFR TKIs. In conclusion, NSCLCs carrying atypical EGFR L858 aberrations, which had fewer TP53 mutations and higher chromosome stability, exhibited improved PFS under first-line EGFR TKIs than those with the classical EGFRL858R.

Chen T, Han B, Cochran E, Chen G. Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with the development of sporadic colorectal carcinoma and colorectal adenomatous polyps. Pathol Res Pract 2024; 260:155368. [PMID: 38850877 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a well-established carcinogen that has been extensively studied in the context of gastric diseases. Recent studies suggested a potential association between H. pylori and the risk of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). However, available data remains insufficient to definitively establish a causal relationship between H. pylori infection and the development of CRC and its precursor lesions. In our study, we reviewed all patients diagnosed with CRC in 2020 at our institution. H. pylori assessment was performed in all 92 CRC specimens by immunohistochemistry. Notably, two of the three patients detected with H. pylori infection are under the age of 50. Subsequently, we reviewed a total of 52 patients under the age of 50 diagnosed with CRC at our institution from 2015 to 2022. Among these patients, H. pylori infection was detected in 7 CRC specimens (13.46 %). All seven patients had adenocarcinoma on the left side of the colon. In exploring the link between H. pylori infection and the risk of developing CRC precursor lesions, we analyzed 242 patients who underwent colonoscopy guided polypectomy and also had stomach biopsies from 2015 to 2022. Of these patients, 21 were proved to be positive for H. pylori infection in the stomach, while the remaining 221 were negative. Among the H. pylori-positive group, 76.19 % (16 patients) exhibited adenomatous polyps, compared to 33.48 % (74 patients) in the H. pylori-negative patients (p=0.0001). However, no H. pylori was detected in any colonic adenomatous polyps. Our findings contribute additional evidence supporting the association between H. pylori infection and the development of sporadic CRC, probably a particular association with early-onset ones. Furthermore, gastric H. pylori infection appears to be linked to the higher prevalence of colonic adenomatous polyps, suggesting that individuals with gastric H. pylori infection may benefit from closer and earlier monitoring through colonoscopy.

Abstract
Ovarian metastasis is one of the major causes of treatment failure in patients with gastric cancer (GC). However, the genomic characteristics of ovarian metastasis in GC remain poorly understood. In this study, we enroll 74 GC patients with ovarian metastasis, with 64 having matched primary and metastatic samples. Here, we show a characterization of the mutation landscape of this disease, alongside an investigation into the molecular heterogeneity and pathway mutation enrichments between synchronous and metachronous metastasis. We classify patients into distinct clonal evolution patterns based on the distribution of mutations in paired samples. Notably, the parallel evolution group exhibits the most favorable prognosis. Additionally, by analyzing the differential response to chemotherapy, we identify potential biomarkers, including SALL4, CCDC105, and CLDN18, for predicting the efficacy of paclitaxel treatment. Furthermore, we validate that CLDN18 fusion mutations improve tumor response to paclitaxel treatment in GC with ovarian metastasis in vitro and vivo.

Abstract
Importance Helicobacter pylori treatment and nutrition supplementation may protect against gastric cancer (GC), but whether the beneficial effects only apply to potential genetic subgroups and whether high genetic risk may be counteracted by these chemoprevention strategies remains unknown. Objective To examine genetic variants associated with the progression of gastric lesions and GC risk and to assess the benefits of H pylori treatment and nutrition supplementation by levels of genetic risk. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used follow-up data of the Shandong Intervention Trial (SIT, 1989-2022) and China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB, 2004-2018) in China. Based on the SIT, a longitudinal genome-wide association study was conducted to identify genetic variants for gastric lesion progression. Significant variants were examined for incident GC in a randomly sampled set of CKB participants (set 1). Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) combining independent variants were assessed for GC risk in the remaining CKB participants (set 2) and in an independent case-control study in Linqu. Exposures H pylori treatment and nutrition supplementation. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcomes were the progression of gastric lesions (in SIT only) and the risk of GC. The associations of H pylori treatment and nutrition supplementation with GC were evaluated among SIT participants with different levels of genetic risk. Results Our analyses included 2816 participants (mean [SD] age, 46.95 [9.12] years; 1429 [50.75%] women) in SIT and 100 228 participants (mean [SD] age, 53.69 [11.00] years; 57 357 [57.23%] women) in CKB, with 147 GC cases in SIT and 825 GC cases in CKB identified during follow-up. A PRS integrating 12 genomic loci associated with gastric lesion progression and incident GC risk was derived, which was associated with GC risk in CKB (highest vs lowest decile of PRS: hazard ratio [HR], 2.54; 95% CI, 1.80-3.57) and further validated in the analysis of 702 case participants and 692 control participants (mean [SD] age, 54.54 [7.66] years; 527 [37.80%] women; odds ratio, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.11-3.05). H pylori treatment was associated with reduced GC risk only for individuals with high genetic risk (top 25% of PRS: HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25-0.82) but not for those with low genetic risk (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.50-1.34; P for interaction = .03). Such effect modification was not found for vitamin (P for interaction = .93) or garlic (P for interaction = .41) supplementation. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this cohort study indicate that a high genetic risk of GC may be counteracted by H pylori treatment, suggesting primary prevention could be tailored to genetic risk for more effective prevention.

Clinicopathological and molecular analysis of microsatellite instability in prostate cancer: a multi-institutional study in China. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1277233. [PMID: 37901334 PMCID: PMC10613026 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1277233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Microsatellite instability (MSI), or mismatch repair-deficiency (dMMR), is rare in prostate cancers (PCas). The histological and molecular features of PCas with MSI/dMMR are incompletely described. Thus, we sought to identify the characteristics of PCas with MSI/dMMR. Methods and results We analyzed 1,141 primary treatment-naive PCas by MMR-related protein immunohistochemistry (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6). We identified eight cases exhibiting MSI/dMMR (0.7%, 8/1141). Of these, six tumors had both MSH2 and MSH6 protein loss, one had both MLH1 and PMS2 protein loss, and one had only MSH6 loss. Histologically, MSI/dMMR-PCas frequently demonstrated high histological grade (Grade Group 4 or 5), ductal/intraductal histology (6/8 cases), pleomorphic giant-cell features (4/8 cases), and conspicuous tumor lymphocytic infiltration (8/8 cases). Polymerase chain reaction-based analysis of seven MSI/dMMR tumors revealed two MSI-H tumors with loss of both MSH2 and MSH6 proteins. Subsequently, the seven cases underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis with a highly validated targeted panel; four were MSI. All cases had a high tumor mutation burden (median: 45.3 mutations/Mb). Overall, the MSI/dMMR-PCas showed a high frequency of DNA damage-repair pathway gene changes, including five with pathogenic somatic or germline MMR gene mutations. Activating mutations in the MAPK pathway, PI3K pathway, and WNT/β-catenin pathway were common. TMPRSS2::ERG rearrangement was identified in one case (1/7, 14.3%). Conclusions Several pathological features are associated with MSI/dMMR in PCas. Identification of these features may help to select patients for genetic screening. As MSI/dMMR-PCas are enriched for actionable mutations, patients should be offered NGS to guide standard-of-care treatment.

[PMID: 36744128 PMCID: PMC9889637 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1079470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Gastric cancer (GC) remains the major constituent of cancer-related deaths and a global public health challenge with a high incidence rate. Helicobacter pylori (HP) plays an essential role in promoting the occurrence and progression of GC. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are regarded as a significant component in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is related to the metastasis of GC. However, the regulation mechanisms of CAFs in HP-related GC are not elucidated thoroughly. Methods HP-related genes (HRGs) were downloaded from the GSE84437 and TCGA-GC databases. The two databases were combined into one cohort for training. Furthermore, the consensus unsupervised clustering analysis was obtained to sort the training cohort into different groups for the identification of differential expression genes (DEGs). Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to verify the correlation between the DEGs and cancer-associated fibroblasts which were key components in the tumor microenvironment. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was executed to find cancer-associated fibroblast-related differential expression genes (CDEGs) for the further establishment of a prognostic model. Results and discussion In this study, 52 HP-related genes (HRGs) were screened out based on the GSE84437 and TCGA-GC databases. A total of 804 GC samples were analyzed, respectively, and clustered into two HP-related subtypes. The DEGs identified from the two subtypes were proved to have a relationship with TME. After WGCNA and LASSO, the CAFs-related module was identified, from which 21 gene signatures were confirmed. Then, a CDEGs-Score was constructed and its prediction efficiency in GC patients was conducted for validation. Overall, a highly precise nomogram was established for enhancing the adaptability of the CDEGs-Score. Furthermore, our findings revealed the applicability of CDEGs-Score in the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs. In general, our research provided brand-new possibilities for comprehending HP-related GC, evaluating survival, and more efficient therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a major source of global cancer mortality with limited treatment options and poor patient survival. As our molecular understanding of gastric cancer improves, we are now beginning to recognize that these cancers are a heterogeneous group of diseases with incredibly unique pathogeneses and active oncogenic pathways. It is this molecular diversity and oftentimes lack of common oncogenic driver mutations that bestow the poor treatment responses that oncologists often face when treating gastric cancer. In this review, we will examine the treatments for gastric cancer including up-to-date molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies. We will then review the molecular subtypes of gastric cancer to highlight the diversity seen in this disease. We will then shift our discussion to basic science and gastric cancer mouse models as tools to study gastric cancer molecular heterogeneity. Furthermore, we will elaborate on a molecular process termed paligenosis and the cyclical hit model as key events during gastric cancer initiation that impart nondividing mature differentiated cells the ability to re-enter the cell cycle and accumulate disparate genomic mutations during years of chronic inflammation and injury. As our basic science understanding of gastric cancer advances, so too must our translational and clinical efforts. We will end with a discussion regarding single-cell molecular analyses and cancer organoid technologies as future translational avenues to advance our understanding of gastric cancer heterogeneity and to design precision-based gastric cancer treatments. Elucidation of interpatient and intratumor heterogeneity is the only way to advance future cancer prevention, diagnoses and treatment.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a major etiologic driver of diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC). However, improvements in hygiene have led to an increase in the prevalence of HP-naïve DGC; that is, DGC that occurs independent of HP. Although multiple genomic cohort studies for gastric cancer have been conducted, including studies for DGC, distinctive genomic differences between HP-exposed and HP-naïve DGC remain largely unknown. Here, we employed exome and RNA sequencing with immunohistochemical analyses to perform binary comparisons between 36 HP-exposed and 27 HP-naïve DGCs from sporadic, early-stage, and intramucosal or submucosal tumor samples. Among the samples, 33 HP-exposed and 17 HP-naïve samples had been preserved as fresh-frozen samples. HP infection status was determined using stringent criteria. HP-exposed DGCs exhibited an increased single nucleotide variant burden (HP-exposed DGCs; 1.97 [0.48-7.19] and HP-naïve DGCs; 1.09 [0.38-3.68] per megabase; p = 0.0003) and a higher prevalence of chromosome arm-level aneuploidies (p < 0.0001). CDH1 was mutated at similar frequencies in both groups, whereas the RHOA-ARHGAP pathway misregulation was exclusive to HP-exposed DGCs (p = 0.0167). HP-exposed DGCs showed gains in chromosome arms 8p/8q (p < 0.0001), 7p (p = 0.0035), and 7q (p = 0.0354), and losses in 16q (p = 0.0167). Immunohistochemical analyses revealed a higher expression of intestinal markers such as CD10 (p < 0.0001) and CDX2 (p = 0.0002) and a lower expression of the gastric marker, MUC5AC (p = 0.0305) among HP-exposed DGCs. HP-naïve DGCs, on the other hand, had a purely gastric marker phenotype. This work reveals that HP-naïve and HP-exposed DGCs develop along different molecular pathways, which provide a basis for early detection strategies in high incidence settings. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
BackgroundCD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CD5+ DLBCL) showed poor prognosis in the rituximab era, with limited research on its genetic characteristics and cell of origin (COO). We aimed to demonstrate the molecular characteristics of CD5+ DLBCL and to discover potential prognostic factors.MethodsWe included 24 cases of CD5+ DLBCL and 23 CD5-negative (CD5-) counterparts and collected their clinicopathological features. Targeted DNA sequencing of 475 lymphoma-related genes was performed, and all cases were assigned to distinct genetic subtypes using the LymphGen tool. The COO was determined by the Lymph2Cx assay. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were applied to identify the possible prognostic factors.ResultsCompared with their CD5- counterparts, patients with CD5+ DLBCL tended to have a worse prognosis and a higher incidence of MYD88L265P and CD79B double mutation (MCD) subtype (54.17%, P = 0.005) and activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype (62.5%, P = 00017), as determined by next-generation sequencing and Lymph2Cx, respectively. Moreover, PIM1, MYD88, and KMT2D mutations were detected more frequently in CD5+ DLBCL cases (P < 0.05). According to multivariate analysis, MYC/BCL2 double expression and ABC subtype were correlated with unfavorable overall survival (OS). High mRNA expression of SERPINA9 and MME showed a significant correlation with a better OS, and high expression of MME showed a significant correlation with better progression-free survival in CD5+ DLBCL.ConclusionThe genetic profile of CD5+ DLBCL is characterized by PIM1, MYD88, and KMT2D mutations, with a higher incidence of MCD and ABC subtypes. MYC/BCL2 double expression, ABC subtype, and mRNA expression of SERPINA9 and MME are independently predictive of the prognosis of CD5+ DLBCL.

Abstract
Background Soft‐tissue sarcoma (STS) is a rare solid malignant tumor with numerous histologic subtypes. Current studies on targeted therapy for STS are in preclinical and early‐phase trials. Genomic differences largely influence the prognosis of patients even with the same subtype. To investigate the genomic alterations (GAs) and the potential of targeted therapy in STS, we analyzed the genomic landscape, the therapeutic GAs, and biomarkers of immunotherapy in Chinese STS patients. Methods Targeted sequencing covering 425 genes was performed, from which we obtained the results of tissue samples from 351 Chinese STS patients of all ages covering different histologic subtypes. Bioinformatics analysis of altered genes with nonsynonymous mutations, copy‐number variations, and gene fusions were performed. OncoKB therapeutic GAs and relevant biomarkers including TMB, MSI, and HRD were further examined for potential targeted therapy. Results In total, 2743 GAs were identified in 330 genes with a median of 6 (1–38) per case. The top 11 frequently altered genes were: TP53, MCL1, MDM2, CDK4, MYC, CDKN2A, GNAS, RB1, ATRX, CDKN2B, and FGFR1. OncoKB defined therapeutic GAs were found in 23 genes in 43% of the patients. In general, 9.4% of the patients had high‐TMB, 2.8% had MSI, and 13.7% had HRD. A significant difference in the percentage of patients with OncoKB therapeutic GAs were observed between the most frequent two subtypes, leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma. Altogether, 54% of the patients had the potential to respond to a targeted therapy. Conclusion This study indicated the potential efficacy of targeted therapy on many STS patients, and also provided insight for novel precision therapy. The clinical efficacy of combining targeted therapy and immunotherapy can be further investigated.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancer types worldwide, which brings millions of dollars of economic loss each year. Patients diagnosed with early-onset gastric cancer were reported to have a worse prognosis compared to other gastric cancer patients, while the mechanisms behind such phenomenon are unknown. To identify age-dependent somatic alternations in gastric cancer, next-generation sequencing targeting 425 genes was performed on 1688 gastric tumor tissues and corresponding plasma samples. In our study, the microsatellite instability (MSI) and chromosomal instability score (CIS) values increased along with the age of patients, which indicates that older patients display a less genomic stability pattern. The differences of somatic alternations between young and old groups were compared. Somatic mutations CDH1 and copy number gains of FGFR2 were identified to enrich in the younger gastric cancer patients, which may contribute to the worse prognosis of early-onset gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the major subtype of pancreatic cancer and head PDACs show distinct characteristics from body/tail PDACs. With limited studies based on Asian population, the mutational landscape of Asian PDAC remains unclear. Methods One hundred fifty-one Chinese patients with head PDAC were selected and underwent targeted 425-gene sequencing. Genomic alterations, tumor mutational burden, and microsatellite instability were analyzed and compared with a TCGA cohort. Results The genomic landscape of Chinese and Western head PDAC had identical frequently-mutated genes including KRAS, TP53, SMAD4, and CDKN2A. KRAS hotspot in both cohorts was codon 12 but Chinese PDACs containing more G12V but fewer G12R variants. Potentially pathogenic fusions, CHD2-BRAF and KANK1-MET were identified in two KRAS wild-type patients. Serum cancer antigens CA125 and CA19-9 were positively associated with SMAD4 alterations while high CEA was enriched in wild-type CDKN2A subgroup. The probability of vascular invasion was lower in patients with RNF43 alterations. The nomogram developed including histology grade, the mutation status of SMAD4, TGFBR2, and PREX2 could calculate the risk score of prognoses validated by Chinese and TCGA cohort. Conclusions Chinese head PDAC contained more KRAS G12V mutation than Western population. The well-performed nomogram may improve post-operation care in real-world practice.
