Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug repurposing provides a cost-effective approach to address the need for lung cancer prevention and therapeutics. We aimed to identify actionable druggable targets using Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS Summary-level data of gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) were sourced from the eQTLGen resource. We procured genetic associations with lung cancer and its subtypes from the TRICL, ILCCO studies (discovery) and the FinnGen study (replication). We implemented Summary-data-based Mendelian Randomization analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets for lung cancer. Colocalization analysis was further conducted to assess whether the identified signal pairs shared a causal genetic variant. FINDINGS In the main analysis dataset, we identified 55 genes that demonstrate a causal relationship with lung cancer and its subtypes. However, in the replication cohort, only three genes were found to have such a causal association with lung cancer and its subtypes, and of these, HYKK (also known as AGPHD1) was consistently present in both the primary analysis dataset and the replication cohort. Following HEIDI tests and colocalization analyses, it was revealed that HYKK (AGPHD1) is associated with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, with an odds ratio and confidence interval of OR = 1.28,95%CI = 1.24 to 1.33. INTERPRETATION We have found that the HYKK (AGPHD1) gene is associated with an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, suggesting that this gene may represent a potential therapeutic target for both the prevention and treatment of lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Promoter-Specific Variants in NeuroD1 and H3K4me3 Coincident Regions and Clinical Outcomes of Small Cell Lung Cancer. J Korean Med Sci 2023; 38:e381. [PMID: 37987107 PMCID: PMC10659920 DOI: 10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurogenic differentiation 1 (NeuroD1) is a representative small cell lung cancer (SCLC) transcription regulator involved in the carcinogenesis and behavior of SCLC. Histone modifications play an important role in transcription, and H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is primarily associated with promoter regions. METHODS We investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NeuroD1 and H3K4me3 coincident regions, selected using ChIP sequencing (ChIP-seq), and the clinical outcomes of 261 patients with SCLC. RESULTS Among 230 SNPs, two were significantly associated with both the chemotherapy response and overall survival (OS) of patients with SCLC. RNF145 rs2043268A>G was associated with worse chemotherapy response and OS (under a recessive model, adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.26-0.94, P = 0.031, and adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.88, 95% CI, 1.38-2.57, P < 0.001). CINP rs762105A>G was also associated with worse chemotherapy response and OS (under a dominant model, aOR, 0.47, 95% CI, 0.23-0.99, P = 0.046, and aHR, 2.03, 95% CI, 1.47-2.82, P < 0.001). ChIP-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and luciferase assay confirmed that the two SNPs were located in the active promoter regions and influenced the promoter activity of each gene. CONCLUSION To summarize, among SNPs selected using ChIP-seq in promoter regions with high peaks in both NeuroD1 and H3K4me3, RNF145 rs2043268A>G and CINP rs762105A>G were associated with clinical outcomes in patients with SCLC and also affected the promoter activity of each gene.

Abstract
Rationale: The small airway epithelium (beyond the sixth generation), the initiation site of smoking-induced airway disorders, is highly sensitive to the stress of smoking. Because of variations over time in smoking habits, the small airway epithelium transcriptome is dynamic, fluctuating not only among smokers but also within each smoker. Objectives: To perform accurate assessment of the smoking-related dysregulation of the human small airway epithelium despite the variation of smoking within the same individual and of the effects of smoking cessation on the dysregulated transcriptome. Methods: We conducted serial sampling of the same smokers and nonsmoker control subjects over time to identify persistent smoking dysregulation of the biology of the small airway epithelium over 1 year. We conducted serial sampling of smokers who quit smoking, before and after smoking cessation, to assess the effect of smoking cessation on the smoking-dysregulated genes. Measurements and Main Results: Repeated measures ANOVA of the small airway epithelium transcriptome sampled four times in the same individuals over 1 year enabled the identification of 475 persistent smoking-dysregulated genes. Most genes were normalized after 12 months of smoking cessation; however, 53 (11%) genes, including CYP1B1, PIR, ME1, and TRIM16, remained persistently abnormally expressed. Dysregulated pathways enriched with the nonreversible genes included xenobiotic metabolism signaling, bupropion degradation, and nicotine degradation. Conclusions: Analysis of repetitive sampling of the same individuals identified persistent smoking-induced dysregulation of the small airway epithelium transcriptome and the effect of smoking cessation. These results help identify targets for the development of therapies that can be applicable to smoking-related airway diseases.

Lung cancer associated with combustion particles and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) - The roles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Biochem Pharmacol 2023; 216:115801. [PMID: 37696458 PMCID: PMC10543654 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
Air pollution is the leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking, contributing to 20% of all lung cancer deaths. Increased risk associated with living near trafficked roads, occupational exposure to diesel exhaust, indoor coal combustion and cigarette smoking, suggest that combustion components in ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), may be central drivers of lung cancer. Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) induces expression of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) and increase PAH metabolism, formation of reactive metabolites, oxidative stress, DNA damage and mutagenesis. Lung cancer tissues from smokers and workers exposed to high combustion PM levels contain mutagenic signatures derived from PAHs. However, recent findings suggest that ambient air PM2.5 exposure primarily induces lung cancer development through tumor promotion of cells harboring naturally acquired oncogenic mutations, thus lacking typical PAH-induced mutations. On this background, we discuss the role of AhR and PAHs in lung cancer development caused by air pollution focusing on the tumor promoting properties including metabolism, immune system, cell proliferation and survival, tumor microenvironment, cell-to-cell communication, tumor growth and metastasis. We suggest that the dichotomy in lung cancer patterns observed between smoking and outdoor air PM2.5 represent the two ends of a dose-response continuum of combustion PM exposure, where tumor promotion in the peripheral lung appears to be the driving factor at the relatively low-dose exposures from ambient air PM2.5, whereas genotoxicity in the central airways becomes increasingly more important at the higher combustion PM levels encountered through smoking and occupational exposure.

[PMID: 37694278 PMCID: PMC10517097 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20231152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to exert significant influence on various physiological processes and diseases, including cancers. The primary objective of this present study was to examine the impact of eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA on the susceptibility to lung cancer (LC) within the Chinese Southern population. METHODS The genotypes of these eight polymorphisms were determined in 132 LC patients and 214 cancer-free controls. RESULTS In overall analyses, GG genotype of miRNA-6811 rs2292879 polymorphism was significantly correlated with increased risk of LC (GG vs. AA, adjusted OR = 5.10, 95% CI = 1.02-25.43, P=0.047), yet the genotype frequencies of rs2292879 SNP in controls did not met the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P=0.001) in present study. Stratified analyses by smoking revealed that miRNA-423 rs6505162 variants significantly decreased the LC risk in heterozygous (CA vs. CC, adjusted OR = 0.14, 95% CI = 0.03-0.81, P=0.028) and recessive (AA vs. CA + CC, adjusted OR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.03-0.90, P=0.038) genetic models in smoking population. However, miRNA-196A2 rs11614913, miRNA-196A2 rs12304647, miRNA-146A rs2910164, miRNA-16-1 rs1022960, miRNA-608 rs4919510, and miRNA-27a rs895819 polymorphisms were not significantly associated with LC. CONCLUSION The findings of our study indicate a potential decrease in LC risk among smokers with the miRNA-423 rs6505162 variants, while an increase in risk is associated with miRNA-6811 rs2292879 polymorphisms in the population of Southern Chinese. However, further well-designed research is necessary to fully understand the precise impact of these two SNPs on the development of LC.

Abstract
Background Studies on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) suggest that DNA repair capacity may have prognostic implications for disease recurrence and survival. However, there is no study investigating the relationship between SNPs and the risk of metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis in patients with NSCLC. Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential predictive value of SNPs in detecting the risk of metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis and poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC. Material and Methods In this prospective cohort study, we evaluated 275 patients with NSCLC. Analysis of SNPs from peripheral blood cells was performed by a polymerase chain reaction. Excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1)- Asn118Asn, excision repair cross-complementing group 2 (ERCC2)-Lys751Gln, X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1)-Arg399Gln, and tumor protein 53 (TP53)-Arg72Pro polymorphisms were evaluated in conjunction with the development of metastasis. Results The ERCC1 normal genotype, ERCC2 heterozygote genotype, XRCC1 normal genotype, and TP53 normal genotype were associated with a higher stage and more advanced-stage disease at the time of initial diagnosis (P = 0.027, 0.005, <0.001, and 0.006, respectively). Also, XRCC1 normal genotype and TP53 normal genotype were associated with the risk of metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis (P = <0.001 and 0.002, respectively). Moreover, the XRCC1 normal genotype was associated with the risk of brain metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis (P = 0.031). Conclusions We showed that SNPs are related to a higher stage and more advanced-stage disease at the time of initial diagnosis in patients with NSCLC, and XRCC1 and TP53 gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of metastasis. These results may contribute to the identification of high-risk groups and may help to earlier diagnosis and treatment in patients with NSCLC.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12052025. [PMID: 36902812 PMCID: PMC10004083 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12052025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: An increasing number of studies have reported associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and ovarian cancer (OC) risk. However, some of the findings were inconsistent. The objective of this umbrella review was to evaluate the associations comprehensively and quantitatively. Methods: The protocol of this review was registered in PROSPERO (No. CRD42022332222). We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases to identify related systematic reviews and meta-analyses from inception to 15 October 2021. In addition to estimating the summary effect size by using fixed and random effects models and calculating the 95% prediction interval, we evaluated the cumulative evidence for associations with nominally statistical significance based on the Venice criteria and false positive report probability (FPRP). Results: Forty articles were included in this umbrella review, which referred to a total of 54 SNPs. The median number of original studies per meta-analysis was four, while the median number of total subjects was 3455. All included articles had greater than moderate methodological quality. A total of 18 SNPs were nominally statistically associated with OC risk; 6 SNPs (8 genetic models), 5 SNPs (7 genetic models), and 16 SNPs (25 genetic models) were identified as strong, moderate, and weak cumulative evidence, respectively. Conclusion: This umbrella review revealed associations between SNPs and OC risk and suggested strong cumulative evidence of associations of six SNPs (eight genetic models) with OC risk.

Abstract
Huge technological and biomedical advances have improved the survival and quality of life of lung cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. However, during treatment planning, a probability that the patient will experience adverse effects is assumed. Radiotoxicity is a complex entity that is largely dose-dependent but also has important intrinsic factors. One of the most studied is the genetic variants that may be associated with susceptibility to the development of adverse effects of radiotherapy. This review aims to present the current status of radiogenomics in lung cancer, integrating results obtained in association studies of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) related to radiotherapy toxicities. We conclude that despite numerous publications in this field, methodologies and endpoints vary greatly, making comparisons between studies difficult. Analyzing SNPs from the candidate gene approach, together with the study in cohorts limited by the sample size, has complicated the possibility of having validated results. All this delays the incorporation of genetic biomarkers in predictive models for clinical application. Thus, from all analysed SNPs, only 12 have great potential as esophagitis genetic risk factors and deserve further exploration. This review highlights the efforts that have been made to date in the radiogenomic study of radiotoxicity in lung cancer.

COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2848220. [PMID: 35586668 PMCID: PMC9110176 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2848220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background Relapsed and refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 15% of all lung cancers. The prognosis of patients is poor. The 5-year survival rate is almost 0. The average survival time of patients who refuse to receive treatment is only 2-4 months. For patients with extensive-stage SCLC, the current first-line treatment regimens are mainly platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy. Poside combined with cisplatin/carboplatin and irinotecan combined with cisplatin/carboplatin are commonly used clinical regimens for the treatment of patients with extensive-stage SCLC. Although SCLC is very sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, most patients will develop recurrence and metastasis after initial treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to study clinically effective therapeutic drugs for relapsed and refractory SCLC. Objective To investigate the relationship between programmed death receptor-1 (programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)) and programmed death receptor-ligand 1 (programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)) inhibitors and Lung Cancer No. 1 efficacy and safety of Lung Cancer Fang No. 1 in the treatment of relapsed and refractory SCLC. Methods 80 patients with refractory SCLC were selected and randomly divided into control group and treatment group with 40 cases in each group. Among them, the control group received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor chemotherapy, and the treatment group received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor chemotherapy combined with Lung Cancer Fang No. 1 treatment. The differences in immune and tumor marker levels, clinical efficacy, and prognostic complications between the two groups before and after treatment were observed and compared. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in clinical improvement between the two groups. After treatment, the clinical symptom scores and body weight changes in the treatment group were significantly improved. The clinical symptom scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group, but the body weight changes were higher than those in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the levels of tumor markers between the two groups. After treatment, the levels of CYFRA21-1, CA125, and VGEF in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the immune level between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05), while the differences in CD4+, CD3+, and CD4+/CD8+ after treatment were significant, and the treatment group was higher than the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the two groups was significantly improved. The DCR90.00% of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, 67.50%, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The analysis of complications after treatment showed that fatigue, anorexia, hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and urinary protein in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor chemotherapy combined with Lung Cancer Fang No. 1 has a good and safe effect on SCLC patients. It has a good curative effect in improving the clinical symptoms of patients. It can stabilize the tumor, inhibit the development of lung cancer, improve the body's cellular immune function, adjust the level and expression of tumor markers, improve the body's material metabolism, and restore the balance of yin and yang in the body.

Prediction of lung cancer risk in Chinese population with genetic-environment factor using extreme gradient boosting. Cancer Med 2022; 11:4469-4478. [PMID: 35499292 PMCID: PMC9741969 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2020] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Detecting early-stage lung cancer is critical to reduce the lung cancer mortality rate; however, existing models based on germline variants perform poorly, and new models are needed. This study aimed to use extreme gradient boosting to develop a predictive model for the early diagnosis of lung cancer in a multicenter case-control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 974 cases and 1005 controls in Shanghai and Taizhou were recruited, and 61 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped. Multivariate logistic regression was used to calculate the association between signal SNPs and lung cancer risk. Logistic regression (LR) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithms, a large-scale machine learning algorithm, were adopted to build the lung cancer risk model. In both models, 10-fold cross-validation was performed, and model predictive performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS After FDR adjustment, TYMS rs3819102 and BAG6 rs1077393 were significantly associated with lung cancer risk (p < 0.05). For lung cancer risk prediction, the model predicted only with epidemiology attained an AUC of 0.703 for LR and 0.744 for XGBoost. Compared with the LR model predicted only with epidemiology, further adding SNPs and applying XGBoost increased the AUC to 0.759 (p < 0.001) in the XGBoost model. BAG6 rs1077393 was the most important predictor among all SNPs in the lung cancer prediction XGBoost model, followed by TERT rs2735845 and CAMKK1 rs7214723. Further stratification in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) showed a significantly elevated performance from 0.639 to 0.699 (p = 0.009) when applying XGBoost and adding SNPs to the model, while the best model for lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) prediction was the LR model predicted with epidemiology and SNPs (AUC = 0.833), compared with the XGBoost model (AUC = 0.816). CONCLUSION Our lung cancer risk prediction models in the Chinese population have a strong predictive ability, especially for SCC. Adding SNPs and applying the XGBoost algorithm to the epidemiologic-based logistic regression risk prediction model significantly improves model performance.

Abstract
Numerous papers have reported variants in microRNAs associated with cancer risk; these results, however, are controversial. We seek to offer an updated, comprehensive synopsis of genetic associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNAs) and cancer risk. We did systematic a field synopsis and meta-analysis to investigate 29 SNPs in 24 miRNAs associated with risk of 18 different kinds of cancer based on data from 247 eligible articles. We graded levels of cumulative epidemiological evidence of significant association using Venice criteria and a false-positive report probability (FPRP) test. We constructed functional annotations for these variants using data from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements Project. We used FPRP to find additional noteworthy associations between 278 SNPs in 117 miRNAs and risk of 26 cancers based on each SNP with one data source. 16 SNPs were statistically associated with risk of 17 cancers. We graded the cumulative epidemiological evidence as strong for statistical associations between 10 SNPs in eight miRNAs and risk of 11 cancers, moderate for nine SNPs with 12 cancers, and weak for 11 SNPs with 11 cancers. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that the SNPs with strong evidence might fall in putative functional regions. In addition, 38 significant associations were observed in 38 SNPs and risk of 13 cancers. This study offered the a comprehensive research on miRNA gene variants and cancer risk and provided referenced information for the genetic predisposition to cancer risk in future research.

Abstract
The complex interactions among different immune cells have important functions in the development of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Here we perform single-cell RNA sequencing on 62,382 cells from MPE patients induced by non-small cell lung cancer to describe the composition, lineage, and functional states of infiltrating immune cells in MPE. Immune cells in MPE display a number of transcriptional signatures enriched for regulatory T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells compared to corresponding counterparts in blood. Helper T, cytotoxic T, regulatory T, and T follicular helper cells express multiple immune checkpoints or costimulatory molecules. Cell-cell interaction analysis identifies regulatory B cells with more interactions with CD4+ T cells compared to CD8+ T cells. Macrophages are transcriptionally heterogeneous and conform to M2 polarization characteristics. In addition, immune cells in MPE show the general up-regulation of glycolytic pathways associated with the hypoxic microenvironment. These findings show a detailed atlas of immune cells in human MPE and enhance the understanding of potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Carotenoids have been constantly investigated since the early fifty for their chemical, biochemical and biological properties being presence in foods. Among the more than 1100 carotenoids synthesized by plants and microorganisms, approximately 50 are present in the human diet, and about 20 can be detected in human blood and tissues. Review articles that discuss the anticancer and cancer preventing activity of phytochemicals have often in common the difficulty to find a coherency between the results deriving from experimental studies and the controversial or weak clinical indications arising from epidemiological and interventional studies. In this scenario, the class of carotenoids does not represent an exception. In fact, according with World Cancer Research Fund, strong evidence exists that high-dose supplementation of β-carotene increases the risk of lung cancer, while for other types of cancer, the protective or harmful effects of food-containing carotenoids or carotenoid supplements have been considered limited, suggestive or unlikely. The analysis of the mechanistic evidence is complicated by the double nature of carotenoids being molecules acting either as antioxidant or pro-oxidant compounds. The present review analyzes the ambiguity and the unexpected results deriving from the epidemiological and interventional studies and discusses how the effects of carotenoids on cancer risk can be explained by understanding their capacity to modulate the cellular antioxidant response, depending on the concentration applied and the cellular metabolism. In the final part, a new global approach is proposed to study the contribution of carotenoids, but also of other phytochemicals, to disease prevention, including cancer.

Abstract
The aim is to comprehensively and accurately assess potential relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and lung cancer (LC) risk by summarizing the evidence in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. This umbrella review was registered with the PROSPERO international prospective register of systematic reviews under registration number CRD42020204685. The PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched to identify eligible systematic reviews and meta-analyses from inception to August 14, 2020. The evaluation of cumulative evidence was conducted for associations with nominally statistical significance based on the Venice criteria and false positive report probability (FPRP). This umbrella review finally included 120 articles of a total of 190 SNP. The median number of studies and sample size included in the meta-analyses were five (range, 3–52) and 4 389 (range, 354–256 490), respectively. A total of 85 SNP (in 218 genetic models) were nominally statistically associated with LC risk. Based on the Venice criteria and FPRP, 13 SNP (in 22 genetic models), 47 SNP (in 99 genetic models), and 55 SNP (in 94 genetic models) had strong, moderate, and weak cumulative evidence of associations with LC risk, respectively. In conclusion, this umbrella review indicated that only 13 SNP (of 11 genes and one miRNA) were strongly correlated to LC risk. These findings can serve as a general and helpful reference for further genetic studies.

Abstract
Lung cancer has the second highest incidence and highest mortality compared to all other cancers. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules belong to a class of compounds that are present in tobacco smoke, diesel exhausts, smoked foods, as well as particulate matter (PM). PAH-derived reactive metabolites are significant contributors to lung cancer development. The formation of these reactive metabolites entails metabolism of the parent PAHs by cytochrome P4501A1/1B1 (CYP1A1/1B1) and epoxide hydrolase enzymes. These reactive metabolites then react with DNA to form DNA adducts, which contribute to key gene mutations, such as the tumor suppressor gene, p53 and are linked to pulmonary carcinogenesis. PAH exposure also leads to upregulation of CYP1A1 transcription by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and eliciting transcription of the CYP1A1 promoter, which comprises specific xenobiotic-responsive element (XREs). While hepatic and pulmonary CYP1A1/1B1 metabolize PAHs to DNA-reactive metabolites, the hepatic CYP1A2, however, may protect against lung tumor development by suppressing both liver and lung CYP1A1 enzymes. Further analysis of these enzymes has shown that PAH-exposure also induces sustained transcription of CYP1A1, which is independent of the persistence of the parent PAH. CYP1A2 enzyme plays an important role in the sustained induction of hepatic CYP1A1. PAH exposure may further contribute to pulmonary carcinogenesis by producing epigenetic alterations. DNA methylation, histone modification, long interspersed nuclear element (LINE-1) activation, and non-coding RNA, specifically microRNA (miRNA) alterations may all be induced by PAH exposure. The relationship between PAH-induced enzymatic reactive metabolite formation and epigenetic alterations is a key area of research that warrants further exploration. Investigation into the potential interplay between these two mechanisms may lead to further understanding of the mechanisms of PAH carcinogenesis. These mechanisms will be crucial for the development of effective targeted therapies and early diagnostic tools.

Alterations in Gene Expression of Renin-Angiotensin System Components and Related Proteins in Colorectal Cancer. J Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Syst 2021; 2021:9987115. [PMID: 34285715 PMCID: PMC8277508 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9987115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
MATERIALS AND METHODS Quantitative expression of the RNA of these 17 genes in normal and cancerous tissues obtained using chip arrays from the public functional genomics data repository, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) application, was compared statistically. RESULTS Expression of four genes, AGT (angiotensinogen), ENPEP (aminopeptidase A) MME (neprilysin), and PREP (prolyl endopeptidase), was significantly upregulated in CRC specimens. Expression of REN (renin), THOP (thimet oligopeptidase), NLN (neurolysin), PRCP (prolyl carboxypeptidase), ANPEP (aminopeptidase N), and MAS1 (Mas receptor) was downregulated in CRC specimens. CONCLUSIONS Presuming gene expression parallel protein expression, these results suggest that increased production of the angiotensinogen precursor of angiotensin (ANG) peptides, with the reduction of the enzymes that metabolize it to ANG II, can lead to accumulation of angiotensinogen in CRC tissues. Downregulation of THOP, NLN, PRCP, and MAS1 gene expression, whose proteins contribute to the ACE2/ANG 1-7/Mas axis, suggests that reduced activity of this RAS branch could be permissive for oncogenicity. Components of the RAS may be potential therapeutic targets for treatment of CRC.

[PMID: 33514608 PMCID: PMC8005792 DOI: 10.1136/jmedgenet-2020-107399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 12/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the most common global cancer. An individual’s risk of developing LC is mediated by an array of factors, including family history of the disease. Considerable research into genetic risk factors for LC has taken place in recent years, with both low-penetrance and high-penetrance variants implicated in increasing or decreasing a person’s risk of the disease. LC is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide; poor survival is driven by late onset of non-specific symptoms, resulting in late-stage diagnoses. Evidence for the efficacy of screening in detecting cancer earlier, thereby reducing lung-cancer specific mortality, is now well established. To ensure the cost-effectiveness of a screening programme and to limit the potential harms to participants, a risk threshold for screening eligibility is required. Risk prediction models (RPMs), which provide an individual’s personal risk of LC over a particular period based on a large number of risk factors, may improve the selection of high-risk individuals for LC screening when compared with generalised eligibility criteria that only consider smoking history and age. No currently used RPM integrates genetic risk factors into its calculation of risk. This review provides an overview of the evidence for LC screening, screening related harms and the use of RPMs in screening cohort selection. It gives a synopsis of the known genetic risk factors for lung cancer and discusses the evidence for including them in RPMs, focusing in particular on the use of polygenic risk scores to increase the accuracy of targeted lung cancer screening.

Abstract
Lung cancer remains one of the most frequent and the deadliest of malignant diseases throughout the world. Target and immune therapy have revolutionalized the treatment of this disease, but platinum-based chemotherapy still has a place in the treatment algorithm. The toxicity profile of cisplatin is well known and can be a limiting factor in the adequate treatment delivery of the drug. There are important inter-individual differences in the efficacy and the toxicity of all chemotherapy drugs, which cannot be explained solely by the characteristics of the tumor. In order to define predictive factors for the occurrence of toxic effects, numerous genetic alterations have been investigated - especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The investigated genes are those involved in DNA repair mechanisms, signal pathways of apoptosis, DNA synthesis, transport mechanisms, but often with inconclusive and opposing results. It is clear that the effect of SNPs on the occurrence of cisplatin toxicity cannot be explained by investigating just one or several genes alone, but epigenetic interactions must be investigated, as well as interactions with outside factors. The study of SNPs is, however, a relatively simple and inexpensive method and, as such, can be used as one of the prognostic tools for everyday practice.

[PMID: 32950701 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtho.2020.08.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of aspirin, metformin, and statins with lung cancer risk and mortality using population-based nationwide cohort data. METHODS This study included a total of 732,199 participants who underwent a national health check-up from 2002 to 2003. Lung cancer incidence and mortality were identified using a registered lung cancer diagnosis code (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, code C34) and the Korean National Death Registry. The study participants were followed up from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2013. Medication exposure was defined by the cumulative duration of use and cumulative defined daily dose per 2-year interval. To avoid immortal-time bias, drug exposure was inserted as a time-dependent variable in Cox analysis, which evaluated the associations of these medications with lung cancer. RESULTS Metformin use had a protective association with lung cancer incidence (p's for trend 0.008) and mortality (p's for trend < 0.001) in a dose-response fashion, and these associations were prominent among participants with a metformin cumulative defined daily dose of 547.5 and above compared with patients without diabetes. Lung cancer mortality was dose-dependently reduced with the use of aspirin (p's for trends 0.046) and statin (p's for trends < 0.001). The combined use of aspirin, statins, and metformin exhibited more prominent protective associations with lung cancer risk and mortality. CONCLUSIONS The use of aspirin, metformin, and statins had independent protective associations with lung cancer mortality, and metformin had an inverse association with lung cancer risk. Further studies are necessary to develop clinically applicable anticancer strategies using these drugs for the reduction of lung cancer and related mortality.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy in China and has a low survival rate amongst Han Chinese. The high mortality is largely attributed to late-stage diagnosis, when treatment is largely ineffective. Identification of genetic variants could potentially assist with earlier diagnosis and thus more effective treatment. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 (CCL4) plays a critical role as a chemoattractant in tumor development, metastasis and angiogenesis. In this study, we explored three CCL4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1634507, rs1719153, and rs10491121) in 538 patients with lung cancer and 370 healthy, cancer-free controls. Carriers of the GT + TT heterozygote of rs1634507 had a lower risk of lung cancer than wild-type (GG) carriers, while the presence of the AG + GG heterozygote at rs10491121 was associated with a higher risk of lung cancer compared with having the AA genotype. The G/A/G and T/A/A CCL4 haplotypes significantly reduced and increased the risks for lung cancer, respectively. Our study is the first to document correlations between CCL4 polymorphisms and lung cancer development and progression in people of Han Chinese ethnicity.

Abstract
Brucellosis is a widespread zoonosis caused by small bacteria of the genus Brucella. The promoter polymorphisms of IL-10 (-1082 loci, -819 loci and -590 loci) are closely related to the production of IL-10, leading to the alteration of development and pathogenesis of Brucellosis. However, the previous results were controversial. In the present study, we conduct the meta-analysis to get a more precise result of IL-10 polymorphisms with Brucellosis risk. The quality of the studies was assessed according to a predefined scale. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were counted to evaluate the association strength. No significant association was found between position -1082 loci or -590 loci polymorphism and Brucellosis risk. The significant association was found in Asian population of position -819 (T vs. C: OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.44-0.82, P = 0.001), homozygote comparison (TT vs. CC: OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.09-0.62, P = 0.003) and recessive genetic model (TT vs. TC/CC: OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.05-0.91, P = 0.036). The present meta-analysis demonstrates that IL-10-819 loci polymorphism is not associated with Brucellosis risk of Caucasian population but may contribute a decreased risk to Asian population. And neither IL-10-1082 loci nor -592 loci polymorphism is associated with Brucellosis risk.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study is to explore the correlation between Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) infection and lung carcinoma. Methods Databases of PubMed, Embase, Embase, Ovid, Wanfang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database were investigated for eligible literatures from their establishments to February, 2019. Included studies were selected according to specific eligibility criteria. Statistical analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software. Results Thirteen studies with 2,553 lung carcinoma cases and 2,460 controls were eligible for meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that the C. pneumoniae infection IgA significantly increased the risk of lung carcinoma (OR =3.19; 95% CI, 1.96-5.19; P<0.00001) by random effect model. And for serum IgG, the pooled OR was 2.02 (95% CI, 1.29-3.16; P<0.00001) by using the random effects model. The results indicated that the IgA positive rate was significantly higher in lung cancer patients than healthy controls. Conclusions This meta-analysis revealed that C. pneumoniae infection may be a potential risk factor for lung carcinoma. However, due to its significant heterogeneity in the included studies, the consequence should be understood with caution.

Abstract
In this issue of Cancer Research, Wang and colleagues identify a large number of regulatory sites within the genomes of non-small cell lung cancers with a global scan for open chromatin (assaying for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing). They show that this type of profiling might substitute RNA sequencing in classifying lung cancer samples and in making predictions about prognosis. They also show experimentally that genome editing of some regulatory sites upregulates the expression of GSTM1 and GSTT1, which are required for detoxification of carcinogens and whose low expression levels are associated with lung cancer risk.See related article by Wang et al., p. 4840.

Abstract
PURPOSE Naturally occurring primary canine lung cancers share clinicopathologic features with human lung cancers in never-smokers, but the genetic underpinnings of canine lung cancer are unknown. We have charted the genomic landscape of canine lung cancer and performed functional characterization of novel, recurrent HER2 (ERBB2) mutations occurring in canine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (cPAC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed multiplatform genomic sequencing of 88 primary canine lung tumors or cell lines. Additionally, in cPAC cell lines, we performed functional characterization of HER2 signaling and evaluated mutation-dependent HER2 inhibitor drug dose-response. RESULTS We discovered somatic, coding HER2 point mutations in 38% of cPACs (28/74), but none in adenosquamous (cPASC, 0/11) or squamous cell (cPSCC, 0/3) carcinomas. The majority (93%) of HER2 mutations were hotspot V659E transmembrane domain (TMD) mutations comparable to activating mutations at this same site in human cancer. Other HER2 mutations were located in the extracellular domain and TMD. HER2 V659E was detected in the plasma of 33% (2/6) of dogs with localized HER2 V659E tumors. HER2 V659E cPAC cell lines displayed constitutive phosphorylation of AKT and significantly higher sensitivity to the HER2 inhibitors lapatinib and neratinib relative to HER2-wild-type cell lines (IC50 < 200 nmol/L in HER2 V659E vs. IC50 > 2,500 nmol/L in HER2 WT). CONCLUSIONS This study creates a foundation for molecular understanding of and drug development for canine lung cancer. These data also establish molecular contexts for comparative studies in dogs and humans of low mutation burden, never-smoker lung cancer, and mutant HER2 function and inhibition.

Abstract
In the present study, we aim to examine the relationship between genetic polymorphism and transcriptional expression of cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREBBP) and the risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Two hundred and fifty healthy individuals and 248 DLBCL patients participated in the present study. The CREBBP rs3025684 polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The mRNA expression of CREBBP was tested by the real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The allele A frequency of CREBBP rs3025684 in DLBCL patients was obviously higher than that of controls (P=0.01). No significant difference was detected between CREBBP rs3025684 polymorphism and clinical characteristics of DLBCL patients when subgrouped according to different parameters. The results demonstrated that the allele A of CREBBP rs3025684 increased the susceptibility to DLBCL (P=0.004), with a worse overall survival (OS) rate (P=0.002), a worse progression-free survival (PFS) rate (P=0.033) and poor prognosis (P=0.003) in DLCBL patients. Furthermore, the expression of CREBBP mRNA was considerably decreased in DLBCL patients as compared with controls (P<0.001), and the expression in patients with GG genotype was up-regulated in comparison with patients with GA and AA genotype (P=0.016 and P=0.001, respectively). However, no statistical differences were found in OS (P=0.201) and PFS (P=0.353) between the lower CREBBP mRNA level subgroup and higher CREBBP mRNA level subgroup. These data suggested that the CREBBP gene may be an important prognostic factor in DLBCL patients and perform an essential function in the development of DLBCL.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy in China and is associated with a poor survival rate amongst Han Chinese. The high mortality is largely attributed to late-stage diagnosis, when treatment is largely ineffective. Identification of genetic variants could potentially assist with earlier diagnosis and thus more effective treatment. The development and progression of lung cancer is stimulated by angiopoietin-2 (Ang2), a ligand for Tie2, an endothelial tyrosine kinase. Patients with lung cancer with higher serum Ang2 levels have significantly poorer survival than patients with lower serum Ang2 levels. We explored the effects of Ang2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on lung cancer susceptibility. We used lung cancer tissue and serum samples to measure Ang2 expression in a Chinese Han population. Five Ang2 SNPs (rs2442598, rs734701, rs1823375, 11137037, and rs12674822) were analyzed using TaqMan SNP genotyping in 695 patients with lung cancer and 900 cancer-free controls. Carriers of the variant GT allele of rs12674822 had a higher risk of lung cancer than wild-type (GG) carriers, while the presence of the CC genotype at rs11137037 was associated with higher clinical stage disease compared with having the AA genotype. Our study is the first to document a correlation between Ang2 polymorphisms and lung cancer development and progression in people of Chinese Han ethnicity.

[PMID: 31086207 PMCID: PMC6514210 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-43736-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2018] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Genetic polymorphism of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters may influence drug response. The frequency varies substantially between ethnicities thus having implications on appropriate selection and dosage of various drugs in different populations. The distribution of genetic polymorphisms in healthy Pakistanis has so far not been described. In this study, 155 healthy adults (98 females) were included from all districts of Karachi. DNA was extracted from saliva and genotyped for relevant SNVs in CYP1A1, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 as well as ALDH3A1, GSTA1, ABCB1 and ABCC2. About 64% of the participants were born to parents who were unrelated to each other. There was generally a higher prevalence (p < 0.05) of variant alleles of CYP450 1A2, 2B6, 2C19, 3A5, ALDH3A1, GSTM1 as well as ABCB1 and ABCC2 in this study cohort than in other ethnicities reported in the HapMap database. In contrast, the prevalence of variant alleles was lower in GSTA1. Therefore, in the Pakistani population sample from Karachi a significantly different prevalence of variant drug metabolizing enzymes and ABC transporters was observed as compared to other ethnicities, which could have putative clinical consequences on drug efficacy and safety.

J Clin Pathol 2018; 72:75-80. [PMID: 30467244 DOI: 10.1136/jclinpath-2018-205553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2018] [Revised: 11/01/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
AIM TP53 and DNA repair polymorphisms have been proposed as cancer risk factors. This study evaluated the usability of TP53 Arg72Pro single-nucleotide polymorphism, X RCC1 Arg399Gln and RAD51 G135C as a low-cost lung adenocarcinoma screening tool. PATIENTS AND METHODS This case-control study included 78 atients with lung adenocarcinoma and 79 healthy matched controls. TP53, XRCC1 and RAD51 genotyping was done by PCR followed by restriction length polymorphism. Descriptive analyses included genotype and allelic frequencies and deviations of the frequencies from those expected under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were assessed using the χ2 test. The OR and 95% CIs were calculated as an estimate of relative risk, with significance set at p value <0.05. RESULTS The TP53 codon 72 Pro allele and the XRCC1 codon 399 Arg allele in a homozygous state were associated with lung adenocarcinoma (p=0.037; OR (95% CI) 2.42 (1.10 to 5.31)), that is, p=0.037; OR (95% CI) 2.16 (1.08 to 4.33), respectively. Also, carriers of the TP53 codon 72 Pro allele and the XRCC1 codon 399 ArgArg genotype older than 50 showed an even higher risk of developing lung adenocarcinoma (p=0.03 in both cases). CONCLUSIONS The TP53 codon 72 Arg allele and XRCC1 codon 399 Gln allele are likely to have a protective effect against lung adenocarcinoma, especially in individuals older than 50 years of age. XRCC1 and TP53 genotyping might be a useful low-cost tool for evaluating individual lung cancer risk, leading to earlier detection and management of this disease.

Identification of Novel Genes in Human Airway Epithelial Cells associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) using Machine-Based Learning Algorithms. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15775. [PMID: 30361509 PMCID: PMC6202402 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-33986-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2018] [Accepted: 10/07/2018] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this project was to identify candidate novel therapeutic targets to facilitate the treatment of COPD using machine-based learning (ML) algorithms and penalized regression models. In this study, 59 healthy smokers, 53 healthy non-smokers and 21 COPD smokers (9 GOLD stage I and 12 GOLD stage II) were included (n = 133). 20,097 probes were generated from a small airway epithelium (SAE) microarray dataset obtained from these subjects previously. Subsequently, the association between gene expression levels and smoking and COPD, respectively, was assessed using: AdaBoost Classification Trees, Decision Tree, Gradient Boosting Machines, Naive Bayes, Neural Network, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and adaptive LASSO, Elastic-Net, and Ridge logistic regression analyses. Using this methodology, we identified 44 candidate genes, 27 of these genes had been previously been reported as important factors in the pathogenesis of COPD or regulation of lung function. Here, we also identified 17 genes, which have not been previously identified to be associated with the pathogenesis of COPD or the regulation of lung function. The most significantly regulated of these genes included: PRKAR2B, GAD1, LINC00930 and SLITRK6. These novel genes may provide the basis for the future development of novel therapeutics in COPD and its associated morbidities.

Abstract
Omethoate, an organophosphorous pesticide, can cause a variety of health effects, especially the decrease of cholinesterase activity. The aim of this study is to explore the association of genetic polymorphisms of telomere binding proteins with cholinesterase activity in omethoate-exposed population. Cholinesterase activities in whole blood, red blood cell and plasma were detected using acetylthiocholine and dithio-bis-(nitrobenzoic acid) method; Genetic Genotyping of POT1 rs1034794, POT1 rs10250202, TERF1 rs3863242 and TERT rs2736098 were performed with PCR-RFLP. The cholinesterase activities of whole blood, red blood cells and plasma in exposure group are significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicates that exposure group (b = - 1.016, P < 0.001), agender (b = 0.365, P < 0.001), drinking (b = 0.271, P = 0.004) and TERF1rs3863242 (b = - 0.368, P = 0.016) had an impact on cholinesterase activities. The results suggest that individual carrying AG+GG genotypes in TERF1 gene rs3863242 polymorphism were susceptible to damage in cholinesterase induced by omethoate.

Abstract
Background Whether serum magnesium levels were lower in patients with lung cancer than that in healthy controls is controversial. The aim of this study was to identify and synthesize all citations evaluating the relationship between serum magnesium levels and lung cancer. Methods We searched PubMed, WanFang, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), and SinoMed databases for relevant studies before December 31, 2017. Two authors independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Results Eleven citations comprising 707 cases with lung cancer and 7595 healthy controls were included in our study. Serum magnesium levels were not significantly lower in patients with lung cancer [summary SMD = 0.193, 95%CI = − 1.504 to 1.890] when compared to health controls, with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 99.6%, P < 0.001) found. Negative associations were found among Asian populations [summary SMD = 0.229, 95%CI = − 1.637 to 2.094] and European populations [summary SMD = − 0.168, 95%CI = − 0.482 to 0.147]. No publication bias was found using the test of Egger and funnel plot. Conclusions Our study suggested that serum magnesium levels had no significant association on lung cancer risk.

Ensuring the Safety and Security of Frozen Lung Cancer Tissue Collections through the Encapsulation of Dried DNA. Cancers (Basel) 2018; 10:cancers10060195. [PMID: 29891792 PMCID: PMC6025404 DOI: 10.3390/cancers10060195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2018] [Revised: 06/08/2018] [Accepted: 06/08/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Collected specimens for research purposes may or may not be made available depending on their scarcity and/or on the project needs. Their protection against degradation or in the event of an incident is pivotal. Duplication and storage on a different site is the best way to assure their sustainability. The conservation of samples at room temperature (RT) by duplication can facilitate their protection. We describe a security system for the collection of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) stored in the biobank of the Nice Hospital Center, France, by duplication and conservation of lyophilized (dried), encapsulated DNA kept at RT. Therefore, three frozen tissue collections from non-smoking, early stage and sarcomatoid carcinoma NSCLC patients were selected for this study. DNA was extracted, lyophilized and encapsulated at RT under anoxic conditions using the DNAshell technology. In total, 1974 samples from 987 patients were encapsulated. Six and two capsules from each sample were stored in the biobanks of the Nice and Grenoble (France) Hospitals, respectively. In conclusion, DNA maintained at RT allows for the conservation, duplication and durability of collections of interest stored in biobanks. This is a low-cost and safe technology that requires a limited amount of space and has a low environmental impact.
