Prognostic Implications of LRP1B and Its Relationship with the Tumor-Infiltrating Immune Cells in Gastric Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5759. [PMID: 38136305 PMCID: PMC10741692 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245759] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1b (LRP1B), as a potential tumor suppressor, is implicated in the response to immunotherapy. The frequency of LRP1B mutation gene is high in many cancers, but its role in gastric cancer (GC) has not been determined. METHODS The prognostic value of LRP1B mutation in a cohort containing 100 patients having received radical gastrectomy for stage II-III GC was explored. By analyzing the data of LRP1B mRNA, the risk score of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between LRP1B mutation-type and wild-type was constructed based on the TCGA-STAD cohort. The infiltration of tumor immune cells was evaluated by the CYBERSORT algorithm and verified by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS LRP1B gene mutation was an independent risk factor for disease-free survival (DFS) in GC patients (HR = 2.57, 95% CI: 1.28-5.14, p = 0.008). The Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated a shorter survival time in high-risk patients stratified according to risk score (p < 0.0001). CYBERSORT analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly concentrated in CD4+ T cells and macrophages. TIMER analysis suggested that LRP1B expression was associated with the infiltration of CD4+ T cells and macrophages. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that LRP1B was expressed in the tumor cells (TCs) and immune cells in 16/89 and 26/89 of the cohort, respectively. LRP1B-positive TCs were associated with higher levels of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD86/CD163 (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that LRP1B-positive TCs represented an independent protective factor of DFS in GC patients (HR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.10-0.93, p = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS LRP1B has a high prognostic value in GC. LRP1B may stimulate tumor immune cell infiltration to provide GC patients with survival benefits.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and treatment is guided by biomarker profiles representing distinct molecular subtypes. Breast cancer arises from the breast ductal epithelium, and experimental data suggests breast cancer subtypes have different cells of origin within that lineage. The precise cells of origin for each subtype and the transcriptional networks that characterize these tumor-normal lineages are not established. In this work, we applied bulk, single-cell (sc), and single-nucleus (sn) multi-omic techniques as well as spatial transcriptomics and multiplex imaging on 61 samples from 37 breast cancer patients to show characteristic links in gene expression and chromatin accessibility between breast cancer subtypes and their putative cells of origin. We applied the PAM50 subtyping algorithm in tandem with bulk RNA-seq and snRNA-seq to reliably subtype even low-purity tumor samples and confirm promoter accessibility using snATAC. Trajectory analysis of chromatin accessibility and differentially accessible motifs clearly connected progenitor populations with breast cancer subtypes supporting the cell of origin for basal-like and luminal A and B tumors. Regulatory network analysis of transcription factors underscored the importance of BHLHE40 in luminal breast cancer and luminal mature cells, and KLF5 in basal-like tumors and luminal progenitor cells. Furthermore, we identify key genes defining the basal-like ( PRKCA , SOX6 , RGS6 , KCNQ3 ) and luminal A/B ( FAM155A , LRP1B ) lineages, with expression in both precursor and cancer cells and further upregulation in tumors. Exhausted CTLA4-expressing CD8+ T cells were enriched in basal-like breast cancer, suggesting altered means of immune dysfunction among breast cancer subtypes. We used spatial transcriptomics and multiplex imaging to provide spatial detail for key markers of benign and malignant cell types and immune cell colocation. These findings demonstrate analysis of paired transcription and chromatin accessibility at the single cell level is a powerful tool for investigating breast cancer lineage development and highlight transcriptional networks that define basal and luminal breast cancer lineages.

Mammography radiomics features at diagnosis and progression-free survival among patients with breast cancer. Br J Cancer 2022; 127:1886-1892. [PMID: 36050449 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-022-01958-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 08/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations between mammographic radiomics and breast cancer clinical endpoints are unclear. We aimed to identify mammographic radiomics features associated with breast cancer prognosis. METHODS Nested from a large breast cancer cohort in our institution, we conducted an extreme case-control study consisting of 207 cases with any invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) endpoint <5 years and 207 molecular subtype-matched controls with >5-year iDFS. A total of 632 radiomics features in craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views were extracted from pre-treatment mammography. Logistic regression was used to identify iDFS-associated features with multiple testing corrections (Benjamini-Hochberg method). In a subsample with RNA-seq data (n = 96), gene set enrichment analysis was employed to identify pathways associated with lead features. RESULTS We identified 15 iDFS-associated features from CC-view yet none from MLO-view. S(1,-1)SumAverg and WavEnLL_s-6 were the lead ones and associated with favourable (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42-0.87, P = 0.01) and poor iDFS (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.31-1.76, P = 0.01), respectively. Both features were associated with eight pathways (primarily involving cell cycle regulation) in tumour but not adjacent normal tissues. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest mammographic radiomics features are associated with breast cancer iDFS, potentially through pathways involving cell cycle regulation.

Abstract
Immunotherapy brought long-term benefits for partial patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). The predictor of anti-PD-L1 therapy was controversial and limited in LUSC. We aimed to explore novel biomarker for LUSC immunotherapy and the potential mechanism. Five hundred and twenty-five Chinese patients (Geneplus cohort) with LUSC underwent targeted sequencing and were involved to explore the genomic profiling. TP53 and LRP1B were the most frequently recurrent genes and correlated to higher tumor mutational burden (TMB). We observed that LUSC patients with TP53 and LRP1B co-wild (co-wild type) were associated with better survival of anti-PD-L1 therapy compared with TP53 mutant or LRP1B mutant (mutant type) in POPAR/OAK cohort. Copy-number variation (CNV) and whole genome doubling (WGD) data from TCGA LUSC cohort were obtained to assess the CNV events. There were fewer CNV alterations and lower chromosome instability in patients with TP53/LRP1B co-wild compared with those with TP53/LRP1B mutant. RNA expression data from the TCGA LUSC cohort were collected to explore the differences in RNA expression and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) between mutant and co-wild groups. The TP53/LRP1B co-wild type had a significantly increased proportion of multiple tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), including activated CD8 T cell, activated dendritic cell (DC), and effector memory CD8 T cell. Immune-related gene sets including checkpoint, chemokine, immunostimulatory, MHC and receptors were enriched in the co-wild type. In conclusion, TP53/LRP1B co-wild LUSC conferred an elevated response rate in anti-PD-L1 therapy and improved survival, which was associated with a chromosome-stable phenotype and an activated immune microenvironment.

Abstract
Introduction Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), an aggressive subtype of lung cancer characterized by the development of neuroendocrine tumors, is prone to distant metastasis, resistant to platinum-based drugs and has a poor prognosis. The development of next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) has led to the identification of many genetic alterations in SCLC. Few druggable targeted molecules can be used in clinical practice. Currently, NGS is widely employed in routine clinical practice of non-small cell lung cancer to assist in therapeutic options and prognosis evaluation. This study aims to investigate genes involved in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), their occurrence and their significance in clinical events. Methods Tumor tissue specimens from 18 Chinese SCLC patients were collected through a 520 cancer‐related genes panel for next-generation sequencing. First, the association between sequence results and clinical outcomes was examined. Subsequently, data on clinical pathology and sequencing results were analyzed. Results The Kaplan–Meier curve displayed a significant reduction in PFS for SCLC patients with LRP1B or MAP3K13 mutations. Overall survival (OS) of SCLC patients with MSH6 mutation was significantly higher than those with SPEN mutation. Conclusion Next-generation sequencing demonstrates that the genetic landscape of SCLC. Mutation status of LRP1B, MAP3K13, MSH6 and SPEN has prognostic significance, which might be potential therapeutic targets. We found possible genes and related signaling pathways that affect metastasis. These results can improve our understanding of the mutation characteristics of SCLC and identify potential biomarkers to guide targeted therapies.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1B (LRP1B) is a giant member of the LDLR protein family, which includes several structurally homologous cell surface receptors with a wide range of biological functions from cargo transport to cell signaling. LRP1B is among the most altered genes in human cancer overall. Found frequently inactivated by several genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, it has mostly been regarded as a putative tumor suppressor. Still, limitations in LRP1B studies exist, in particular associated with its huge size. Therefore, LRP1B expression and function in cancer remains to be fully unveiled. This review addresses the current understanding of LRP1B and the studies that shed a light on the LRP1B structure and ligands. It goes further in presenting increasing knowledge brought by technical and methodological advances that allow to better manipulate LRP1B expression in cells and to more thoroughly explore its expression and mutation status. New evidence is pushing towards the increased relevance of LRP1B in cancer as a potential target or translational prognosis and response to therapy biomarker.

Abstract
LDLR-related protein 1B (LRP1B) is believed to internalize ligands through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Previous epigenetic and genetic studies have indicated that impaired LRP1B mRNA expression might be related to gastric carcinogenesis. However, expression and prognostic significance of LRP1B protein remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to unravel the clinicopathological characteristics of LRP1B protein expression in gastric cancer. Immunohistochemical staining with antibodies specific to LRP1B peptide, which has an EXXXLL motif-containing region in the C-terminal flexible loop for intracellular sorting, was performed with 100 gastric cancer tissue specimens. Out of 100 tissue specimens, 45 exhibited cytoplasmic localization of LRP1B immunoreactivity. This cytoplasmic localization of LRP1B was significantly higher (P = 0.044) in intestinal-type gastric cancer (25 of 44) than in diffuse-type gastric cancer (20 of 56). Notably, cytoplasmic LRP1B immunoreactivity was significantly associated with low clinicopathological stage and favorable prognosis of patients with diffuse-type gastric cancer (P = 0.014), but nor with intestinal-type gastric cancer (P = 0.994). Multivalent analysis revealed that cytoplasmic LRP1B immunoreactivity had an independent favorable prognostic value in diffuse-type gastric cancer (P = 0.046; hazard ratio 3.058, 95% confidence interval 1.022-9.149). In contrast, no significant relation of cytoplasmic LRP1B immunoreactivity to patients' prognosis was found in intestinal-type gastric cancer. Double immunocytochemical staining demonstrated that cytoplasmic LRP1B was co-localized with RAB11FIP1, which constituted the endocytic recycling compartments in diffuse-type gastric cancer cells. The findings of this study indicated that impaired endocytosis of the cytoplasmic domain of LRP1B, resulting in insufficient ligand internalization, is related to poor prognosis of patients with diffuse-type gastric cancer.

Abstract
Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) affects the deep soft tissues in young adults and is known to have high rates of metastasis, including lymphatic metastasis. In our previous study an xenoplant model of CCS was established, which exhibited local tumor growth, lymphatic metastasis, and distant metastasis in SCID-Beige mice. In the current study, the role of NK cells during metastasis in the same xenoplant murine model was investigated. Injection of murine or human NK cells significantly suppressed the metastasis of HS-MM CCS cells in SCID-Beige mice. Notably, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated that injection of NK cells did not alter the mRNA expression levels of ERSR1-ATF1, which is specifically transcribed in CCS, in the buffy coat of circulating blood cells of HS-MM-xenoplanted SCID-Beige mice. BALB/c nude mice xenoplanted with HS-MM cells exhibited local growth without evident metastasis, whereas inoculation with the anti-asialo-GM1 antibody, which has previously been found to abolish NK-cell activity, resulted in metastasis of HS-MM cells in BALB/c nude mice. The injection of the anti-CD96 antibody, which increases the cytotoxicity of NK cells, significantly suppressed the metastasis of HS-MM cells in SCID-Beige mice. These results indicated that NK cells impaired the metastatic tumor microenvironments in the present mice xenoplant model.

Abstract
The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family comprises 14 single-transmembrane receptors sharing structural homology and common repeats. These receptors specifically recognize and internalize various extracellular ligands either alone or complexed with membrane-spanning co-receptors that are then sorted for lysosomal degradation or cell-surface recovery. As multifunctional endocytic receptors, some LDLR members from the core family were first considered as potential tumor suppressors due to their clearance activity against extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes. LDLRs are also involved in pleiotropic functions including growth factor signaling, matricellular proteins, and cell matrix adhesion turnover and chemoattraction, thereby affecting both tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment. Therefore, their roles could appear controversial and dependent on the malignancy state. In this review, recent advances highlighting the contribution of LDLR members to breast cancer progression are discussed with focus on (1) specific expression patterns of these receptors in primary cancers or distant metastasis and (2) emerging mechanisms and signaling pathways. In addition, potential diagnosis and therapeutic options are proposed.

Abstract
Background: Tumor mutation burden (TMB) have been served as the most prevalent biomarkers to predict immunotherapy response. LRP1B (low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1B) is frequently mutated in melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other tumors; however, its association with TMB and survival in patients with immunotherapy remains unknown. Methods: We curated somatic mutation data and clinicopathologic information from 332 melanoma immunotherapy samples for discovery and 113 NSCLC samples for further corroboration. Bayesian variants non-negative matrix factorization was used to extract tumor mutational signatures. Multivariate Cox and logistic regression models were applied to adjust confounding factors. The CIBERSORT and GSEA algorithm were separately used to infer leukocyte relative abundance and significantly enriched pathways. Results: Patients with LRP1B mutation were identified to be associated with prolonged survival in both immunotherapy cohort. Higher tumor mutation burden was found in LRP1B mutated patients, and the association remained significant after controlling for age, gender, stage, mutations in TP53 and ATR, and mutational signatures. Immune response and cell cycle regulation circuits were among the top enriched pathways in samples with LRP1B mutations. Conclusion: Our studies suggested sequencing even a single, frequently mutated gene may provide insight into genome-wide mutational burden, and may serve as a biomarker to predict immune response.
