Abstract
Background Differences in genetics and microenvironment of LUAD patients with or without TP53 mutation were analyzed to illustrate the role of TP53 mutation within the carcinogenesis of LUAD, which will provide new concepts for the treatment of LUAD. Methods
In this study, we used genetics and clinical info from the TCGA database, including somatic mutations data, RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, and clinical data. More than one bioinformatics tools were used to analyze the unique genomic pattern of TP53-related LUAD. Results According to TP53 gene mutation status, we divided the LUAD patients into two groups, including 265 in the mutant group (MU) and 295 in the wild-type group (WT). 787 significant somatic mutations were detected between the groups, including mutations in titin (TTN), type 2 ryanodine receptor (RYR2) and CUB and Sushi multiple domains 3(CSMD3), which were up-regulated in the MU. However, no significant survival difference was observed. At the RNA level, we obtained 923 significantly differentially expressed genes; in the MU, α-defensin 5(DEFA5), pregnancy-specific glycoprotein 5(PSG5) and neuropeptide Y(NPY) were the most up-regulated genes, glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and carry gametocidal (GC) were the most down-regulated genes. GSVA analysis revealed 30 significant pathways. Compared with the WT, the expression of 12 pathways in the mutant group was up-regulated, most of which pointed to cell division. There were significant differences in tumor immune infiltrating cells, such as Macrophages M1, T cells CD4 memory activated, Mast cells resting, and Dendritic cells resting. In terms of immune genes, a total of 35 immune-related genes were screened, of which VGF (VGF nerve growth factor inducible) and PGC (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator) were the most significant up-regulated and down-regulated genes, respectively. Research on the expression pattern of immunomodulators found that 9 immune checkpoint molecules and 6 immune costimulatory molecules were considerably wholly different between the two groups. Conclusions Taking the mutant group as a reference, LUAD patients in the mutant group had significant differences in somatic mutations, mRNA-seq, miRNA-seq, immune infiltration, and immunomodulators, indicating that TP53 mutation plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of LUAD.

Abstract
There could be two carcinogenetic pathways for lung adenocarcinoma (LADC): the nonsmokers' pathway and the smokers' pathway. This review article describes the two pathways with special reference to potential relationships between histological subtypes, malignant grades, and driver mutations. The lung is composed of two different tissue units, the terminal respiratory unit (TRU) and the central airway compartment (CAC). In the nonsmokers' pathway, LADCs develop from the TRU, and their histological appearances change from lepidic to micropapillary during the progression process. In the smokers' pathway, LADCs develop from either the TRU or the CAC, and their histological appearances vary among cases in the middle of the progression process, but they are likely converged to acinar/solid at the end. On a molecular genetic level, the nonsmokers' pathway is mostly driven by EGFR mutations, whereas in the smokers' pathway, approximately one-quarter of LADCs have KRAS mutations, but the other three-quarters have no known driver mutations. p53 mutations are an important factor triggering the progression of both pathways, with unique molecular alterations associated with each, such as MUC21 expression and chromosome 12p13-21 amplification in the nonsmokers' pathway, and HNF4α expression and TTF1 mutations in the smokers' pathway. However, investigation into the relationship between histological progression and genetic alterations is in its infancy. Tight cooperation between traditional histopathological examinations and recent molecular genetics can provide valuable insight to better understand the nature of LADCs.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Primary lung cancer is a lethal and rapidly-developing cancer type and is one of the most leading causes of cancer deaths. Materials and Methods: Statistical methods such as Cox regression are usually used to detect the prognosis factors of a disease. This study investigated survival prediction using machine learning algorithms. The clinical data of 28,458 patients with primary lung cancers were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Results: This study indicated that the survival rate of women with primary lung cancer was often higher than that of men (p < 0.001). Seven popular machine learning algorithms were utilized to evaluate one-year, three-year, and five-year survival prediction The two classifiers extreme gradient boosting (XGB) and logistic regression (LR) achieved the best prediction accuracies. The importance variable of the trained XGB models suggested that surgical removal (feature “Surgery”) made the largest contribution to the one-year survival prediction models, while the metastatic status (feature “N” stage) of the regional lymph nodes was the most important contributor to three-year and five-year survival prediction. The female patients’ three-year prognosis model achieved a prediction accuracy of 0.8297 on the independent future samples, while the male model only achieved the accuracy 0.7329. Conclusions: This data suggested that male patients may have more complicated factors in lung cancer than females, and it is necessary to develop gender-specific diagnosis and prognosis models.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer globally and has the highest mortality. Although this disease is not associated with a particular gender, its incidence is rising among women, who are diagnosed at an increasingly younger age compared with men. One of the main reasons for this rise is women taking up smoking. However, many non-smoking women also develop this disease. Other risk factors implicated in the differential development of lung cancer in women are genetic predisposition, tumour histology and molecular profile. Proportionally more women than men with lung cancer have a mutation in the EGFR gene. This consensus statement reviews the available evidence about the epidemiological, biological, diagnostic, therapeutic, social and psychological aspects of lung cancer in women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several studies have shown that smoking may confer a greater excess risk for chronic diseases in women compared with men. The reasons for this excess risk of smoking in women are unclear, yet sex differences in smoking habits may play a role. We, thus, characterised sex differences in smoking habits in a contemporary Western population. DESIGN Cross-sectional population-based study. SETTING UK Biobank Resource. PARTICIPANTS 499,797 (54% women) individuals with data on smoking habits. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Women-to-men prevalence ratios in smoking status, and the women-minus-men mean difference in age at smoking initiation, number of cigarettes smoked daily and age at smoking cessation in 5-year birth cohort bands. RESULTS The women-to-men ever-smoking ratio ranged from 0.57 in the oldest to 0.87 in the youngest birth cohort. In the oldest cohort, born 1935-1939, women started smoking 1.9 years (95% CI 1.7 to 2.1) later than did men, but in those born after 1959 there was no difference in the age at initiation. The oldest women smoked 5.3 (95% CI 4.7 to 5.9) cigarettes per day fewer than did the oldest men, compared with 2.0 (95% CI 1.7 to 2.3) fewer cigarettes smoked per day in the youngest, born 1965-1969. Among quitters, women born before 1945 were, on average, 1.5 years older than their male contemporaries, but this differential was 1 year or less among people born after 1949. CONCLUSIONS Differences in smoking behaviour between women and men have decreased over time. Even past differentials are unlikely to explain the increased susceptibility to smoking-related chronic disease in women compared with men that has previously been observed. Future studies are required to determine whether sex differences in the physiological and biological effects of smoking are responsible for the differential impact of smoking on health in women and men.

Abstract
We explored potential associations between genetic polymorphisms in genes related to DNA repair and detoxification metabolism and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in a cohort of 410 never-smoking patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of EGFR mutation status in association with the genotypes of DNA repair and detoxification metabolism genes were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. We found an association between in-frame deletion in EGFR exon 19 and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800566C/T located in NQO1 (aOR, 2.2 with 95% CI, 1.0-4.8) in female never-smokers. The SNP rs744154C/G in ERCC4 was also associated with the EGFR exon 19 in-frame deletion both in never-smokers (aOR, 1.7 with 95% CI, 1.0-3.0) and female never-smokers (aOR, 1.9 with 95% CI, 1.0-3.6). Although the association was marginally significant in multivariate logistic regression analysis, the A/A genotype of rs1047840 in EXO1 was associated with a 7.6-fold increase in the occurrence of the EGFR exon 19 in-frame deletion in female never-smokers. Moreover, risk alleles in NQO1, ERCC4 and EXO1 were associated with an increasing aOR of the EGFR exon 19 in-frame deletion both in never-smokers (p = 0.007 for trend) and female never-smokers (p = 0.002 for trend). Our findings suggest that the in-frame deletion in EGFR exon 19 is associated with polymorphisms in DNA repair and detoxification metabolism genes in never-smoking lung adenocarcinoma patients, especially in females.

Abstract
Lung cancer is still a leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. The incidence of lung cancer in developed countries started to decrease mainly due to global anti-smoking campaigns. However, the incidence of lung cancer in women has been increasing in recent decades for various reasons. Furthermore, since the screening of lung cancer is not as yet very effective, clinically applicable molecular markers for early diagnosis are much required. Lung cancer in women appears to have differences compared with that in men, in terms of histologic types and susceptibility to environmental risk factors. This suggests that female lung cancer can be derived by carcinogenic mechanisms different from those involved in male lung cancer. Among female lung cancer patients, many are non-smokers, which could be studied to identify alternative carcinogenic mechanisms independent from smoking-related ones. In this paper, we reviewed molecular susceptibility markers and genetic changes in lung cancer tissues observed in female lung cancer patients, which have been validated by various studies and will be helpful to understand the tumorigenesis of lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent analysis indicates that the excess odds ratio for lung cancer by smoking is described by a function that is linear in pack-years and exponential in the logarithm of smoking intensity and its square (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2006;15:517-523). The model suggests that below 15-20 cigarettes per day there is a "direct exposure rate" effect, ie, the excess odds ratio per pack-year for higher intensity (and shorter duration) smokers is greater than for lower-intensity (and longer duration) smokers. Above 20 cigarettes per day, there is an "inverse-exposure-rate" effect, ie, the excess odds ratio per pack-year for higher intensity smokers is smaller than for lower-intensity smokers. METHODS Using pooled data from 2 large case-control studies of lung cancer (the European Smoking and Health Study and the German Radon Study), we evaluated effect modification of the association between smoking and lung cancer. RESULTS Interaction effects are very specific. Variations in risk of lung cancer with years since cessation of smoking, age, method of inhalation, and type of cigarette result from interactions with smoking intensity, and not total pack-years. In contrast, risk variations by sex result from the interaction with total pack-years, while intensity effects are homogeneous. Risk variations by age at which smoking started result from interactions with both total pack-years and intensity. All intensity interactions are homogeneous across studies. CONCLUSIONS The specificity of the interactions may provide clues for the molecular basis of the smoking and lung cancer relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship among chronic inflammation, innate immunity, and cancer is well established. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key player in innate immunity. Five polymorphisms in the promoter and first exon of the MBL2 gene alter the expression and function of MBL in humans and are associated with inflammation-related disease susceptibility. These five polymorphisms create six well-characterized haplotypes that result in lower (i.e., LYB, LYC, HYD, and LXA) or higher (i.e., HYA and LYA) serum MBL concentrations. We investigated whether survival of patients with lung cancer was associated with these polymorphisms. METHODS We used a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model to study the association between MBL2 polymorphisms and their haplotypes and diplotypes in 558 white and 173 African American patients with non-small-cell lung cancer in the Baltimore, MD, area and lung cancer mortality. Smoking history and race were obtained from interviews, tumor stage was obtained from medical records, and cause of death was obtained from the National Death Index. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS We found a statistically significant association between the X allele of the promoter Y/X polymorphism (which results in a lower serum MBL concentration) and improved lung cancer survival among white patients (risk ratio [RR] of death from lung cancer with X/X or X/Y genotype compared with Y/Y genotype = 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.46 to 0.81) but not among African American patients (RR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.69 to 1.77). The associations among white patients were strongest in heavy smokers and were independent of stage. We also found a statistically significant interaction between the Y/X polymorphism and race for lung cancer survival (P(interaction) = .019). The MBL2 LXA haplotype and XA/B diplotype, which are also associated with low serum MBL levels, were statistically significantly associated with improved lung cancer survival among white patients. CONCLUSION The functional Y/X polymorphism of the innate-immunity gene MBL2 and MBL2 haplotypes and diplotypes appear to be associated with lung cancer survival among white patients.

Abstract
Lung cancer is primarily caused by tobacco smoking, but susceptibility is likely modified by common genetic variation. In response to many forms of cellular stress, including DNA damage, the p53 protein functions to induce cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, senescence, or apoptosis. We hypothesized that common TP53 haplotypes modulate pathways of lung carcinogenesis and lung cancer susceptibility or prognosis. To investigate our hypothesis, 14 polymorphisms in TP53, including haplotype tagging and coding single nucleotide polymorphisms, were genotyped in two studies from the greater Baltimore, Maryland area. One study is a case-control study and the second is a case-only study for which TP53 mutational spectra data are available. African Americans with Pro-T-A-G-G haplotypes of the combined TP53 polymorphisms TP53_01 (rs1042522), TP53_65 (rs9895829), TP53_66 (rs2909430), TP53_16 (rs1625895), and TP53_11 (rs12951053) had both an increased risk for lung cancer (odds ratio, 2.32; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-4.57) and a worsened lung cancer prognosis (hazards ratio, 2.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.38-4.10) compared with those with Arg-T-A-G-T haplotypes. No associations of TP53 polymorphisms with lung cancer were observed in Caucasians. In the case-only study, several polymorphisms in TP53 and TP53 haplotypes, overlapping regions of TP53 associated with risk and prognosis in African Americans, were associated with increased odds of somatic TP53 mutation in lung tumors in Caucasians. In conclusion, common genetic variation in TP53 could modulate lung cancer pathways, as suggested by the association with lung cancer in African Americans and somatic TP53 mutation frequency in lung tumors.
