Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade therapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment, leading to durable responses in patients with advanced and metastatic cancers where conventional therapies were insufficient. However, factors like immunosuppressive cells and immune checkpoint molecules within the tumor microenvironment (TME) can suppress the immune system and thus negatively affect the efficiency of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Pyroptosis, a gasdermin-induced programmed cell death, could transform "cold tumors" to "hot tumors" to improve the milieu of TME, thus enhancing the immune response and preventing tumor growth. Recently, evidence showed that epigenetics could regulate pyroptosis, which further affects tumorigenesis, suggesting that epigenetics-based tumor cells pyroptosis could be a promising therapeutic strategy. Hence, this review focuses on the pyroptotic mechanism and summarizes three common types of epigenetics, DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA, all of which have a role in regulating the expression of transcription factors and proteins involved in pyroptosis in cancer. Especially, we discuss targeting strategies on epigenetic-regulated pyroptosis and provide insights on the future trend of cancer research which may fuel cancer therapies into a new step.

Abstract
Recent breakthroughs in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) technologies present a compelling opportunity to combine this emerging liquid biopsy approach with the field of radiogenomics, the study of how tumor genomics correlate with radiotherapy response and radiotoxicity. Canonically, ctDNA levels reflect metastatic tumor burden, although newer ultrasensitive technologies can be used after curative-intent radiotherapy of localized disease to assess ctDNA for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection or for post-treatment surveillance. Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated the potential utility of ctDNA analysis across various cancer types managed with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, including sarcoma and cancers of the head and neck, lung, colon, rectum, bladder, and prostate . Additionally, because peripheral blood mononuclear cells are routinely collected alongside ctDNA to filter out mutations associated with clonal hematopoiesis, these cells are also available for single nucleotide polymorphism analysis and could potentially be used to detect patients at high risk for radiotoxicity. Lastly, future ctDNA assays will be utilized to better assess locoregional MRD in order to more precisely guide adjuvant radiotherapy after surgery in cases of localized disease, and guide ablative radiotherapy in cases of oligometastatic disease.

Abstract
Genetic, developmental, biochemical, and environmental variables interact intricately to produce sex differences. The significance of sex differences in cancer susceptibility is being clarified by numerous studies. Epidemiological research and cancer registries have revealed over the past few years that there are definite sex variations in cancer incidence, progression, and survival. However, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction also have a significant impact on the response to treatment of neoplastic diseases. Young women may be more protected from cancer than men because most of the proteins implicated in the regulation of redox state and mitochondrial function are under the control of sexual hormones. In this review, we describe how sexual hormones control the activity of antioxidant enzymes and mitochondria, as well as how they affect several neoplastic diseases. The molecular pathways that underlie the gender-related discrepancies in cancer that have been identified may be better understood, which may lead to more effective precision medicine and vital information on treatment options for both males and females with neoplastic illnesses.

Abstract
Background Molecular radiation biomarkers are an emerging tool in radiation research with applications for cancer radiotherapy, radiation risk assessment, and even human space travel. However, biomarker screening in genome-wide expression datasets using conventional tools is time-consuming and underlies analyst (human) bias. Machine Learning (ML) methods can improve the sensitivity and specificity of biomarker identification, increase analytical speed, and avoid multicollinearity and human bias. Aim To develop a resource-efficient ML framework for radiation biomarker discovery using gene expression data from irradiated normal tissues. Further, to identify biomarker panels predicting radiation dose with tissue specificity. Methods A strategic search in the Gene Expression Omnibus database identified a transcriptomic dataset (GSE44762) for normal tissues radiation responses (murine kidney cortex and medulla) suited for biomarker discovery using an ML approach. The dataset was pre-processed in R and separated into train and test data subsets. High computational cost of Genetic Algorithm/k-Nearest Neighbor (GA/KNN) mandated optimization and 13 ML models were tested using the caret package in R. Biomarker performance was evaluated and visualized via Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and dose regression. The novelty of ML-identified biomarker panels was evaluated by literature search. Results Caret-based feature selection and ML methods vastly improved processing time over the GA approach. The KNN method yielded overall best performance values on train and test data and was implemented into the framework. The top-ranking genes were Cdkn1a, Gria3, Mdm2 and Plk2 in cortex, and Brf2, Ccng1, Cdkn1a, Ddit4l, and Gria3 in medulla. These candidates successfully categorized dose groups and tissues in PCA. Regression analysis showed that correlation between predicted and true dose was high with R2 of 0.97 and 0.99 for cortex and medulla, respectively. Conclusion The caret framework is a powerful tool for radiation biomarker discovery optimizing performance with resource-efficiency for broad implementation in the field. The KNN-based approach identified Brf2, Ddit4l, and Gria3 mRNA as novel candidates that have been uncharacterized as radiation biomarkers to date. The biomarker panel showed good performance in dose and tissue separation and dose regression. Further training with larger cohorts is warranted to improve accuracy, especially for lower doses.

Genomic Profiling Reveals Novel Predictive Biomarkers for Chemo-Radiotherapy Efficacy and Thoracic Toxicity in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. Front Oncol 2022; 12:928605. [PMID: 35912186 PMCID: PMC9329611 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.928605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) remains the main treatment modality for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its clinical efficacy is largely limited by individual variations in radio-sensitivity and radiotherapy-associated toxicity. There is an urgent need to identify genetic determinants that can explain patients’ likelihood to develop recurrence and radiotherapy-associated toxicity following CRT. In this study, we performed comprehensive genomic profiling, using a 474-cancer- and radiotherapy-related gene panel, on pretreatment biopsy samples from patients with unresectable stage III NSCLCs who underwent definitive CRT. Patients’ baseline clinical characteristics and genomic features, including tumor genetic, genomic and molecular pathway alterations, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), were correlated with progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and radiotherapy-associated pneumonitis and/or esophagitis development after CRT. A total of 122 patients were enrolled between 2014 and 2019, with 84 (69%) squamous cell carcinomas and 38 (31%) adenocarcinomas. Genetic analysis confirmed the association between the KEAP1-NRF2 pathway gene alterations and unfavorable survival outcome, and revealed alterations in FGFR family genes, MET, PTEN, and NOTCH2 as potential novel and independent risk factors of poor post-CRT survival. Combined analysis of such alterations led to improved stratification of the risk populations. In addition, patients with EGFR activating mutations or any oncogenic driver mutations exhibited improved OS. On the other hand, we also identified genetic markers in relation to radiotherapy-associated thoracic toxicity. SNPs in the DNA repair-associated XRCC5 (rs3835) and XRCC1 (rs25487) were associated with an increased risk of high-grade esophagitis and pneumonitis respectively. MTHFR (rs1801133) and NQO1 (rs1800566) were additional risk alleles related to higher susceptibility to pneumonitis and esophagitis overall. Moreover, through their roles in genome integrity and replicative fidelity, somatic alterations in ZNF217 and POLD1 might also serve as risk predictors of high-grade pneumonitis and esophagitis. Taken together, leveraging targeted next-generating sequencing, we identified a set of novel clinically applicable biomarkers that might enable prediction of survival outcomes and risk of radiotherapy-associated thoracic toxicities. Our findings highlight the value of pre-treatment genetic testing to better inform CRT outcomes and clinical actions in stage III unresectable NSCLCs.

Age and sex effects across the blood proteome after ionizing radiation exposure can bias biomarker screening and risk assessment. Sci Rep 2022; 12:7000. [PMID: 35487913 PMCID: PMC9055069 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10271-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Molecular biomarkers of ionizing radiation (IR) exposure are a promising new tool in various disciplines: they can give necessary information for adaptive treatment planning in cancer radiotherapy, enable risk projection for radiation-induced survivorship diseases, or facilitate triage and intervention in radiation hazard events. However, radiation biomarker discovery has not yet resolved the most basic features of personalized medicine: age and sex. To overcome this critical bias in biomarker identification, we quantitated age and sex effects and assessed their relevance in the radiation response across the blood proteome. We used high-throughput mass spectrometry on blood plasma collected 24 h after 0.5 Gy total body irradiation (15 MV nominal photon energy) from male and female C57BL/6 N mice at juvenile (7-weeks-old) or adult (18-weeks-old) age. We also assessed sex and strain effects using juvenile male and female BALB/c nude mice. We showed that age and sex created significant effects in the proteomic response regarding both extent and functional quality of IR-induced responses. Furthermore, we found that age and sex effects appeared non-linear and were often end-point specific. Overall, age contributed more to differences in the proteomic response than sex, most notably in immune responses, oxidative stress, and apoptotic cell death. Interestingly, sex effects were pronounced for DNA damage and repair pathways and associated cellular outcome (pro-survival vs. pro-apoptotic). Only one protein (AHSP) was identified as a potential general biomarker candidate across age and sex, while GMNN, REG3B, and SNCA indicated some response similarity across age. This low yield advocated that unisex or uniage biomarker screening approaches are not feasible. In conclusion, age- and sex-specific screening approaches should be implemented as standard protocol to ensure robustness and diagnostic power of biomarker candidates. Bias-free molecular biomarkers are a necessary progression towards personalized medicine and integral for advanced adaptive cancer radiotherapy and risk assessment.

Abstract
Response to radiotherapy (RT) in cancers varies widely among patients. Therefore, it is very important to predict who will benefit from RT before clinical treatment. Consideration of the immune tumor microenvironment (TME) could provide novel insight into tumor treatment options. In this study, we investigated the link between immune infiltration status and clinical RT outcome in order to identify certain leukocyte subsets that could potentially influence the clinical RT benefit across cancers. By integrally analyzing the TCGA data across seven cancers, we identified complex associations between immune infiltration and patients RT outcomes. Besides, immune cells showed large differences in their populations in various cancers, and the most abundant cells were resting memory CD4 T cells. Additionally, the proportion of activated CD4 memory T cells and activated mast cells, albeit at low number, were closely related to RT overall survival in multiple cancers. Furthermore, a prognostic model for RT outcomes was established with good performance based on the immune infiltration status. Summarized, immune infiltration was found to be of significant clinical relevance to RT outcomes. These findings may help to shed light on the impact of tumor-associated immune cell infiltration on cancer RT outcomes, and identify biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
