Abstract
Network biology has garnered tremendous attention in understanding complex systems of cancer, because the mechanisms underlying cancer involve the perturbations in the specific function of molecular networks, rather than a disorder of a single gene. In this article, we review the various computational tactics for gene regulatory network analysis, focused especially on personalized anti-cancer therapy. This paper covers three major topics: (1) cell line's (or patient's) cancer characteristics specific gene regulatory network estimation, which enables us to reveal molecular interplays under varying conditions of cancer characteristics of cell lines (or patient); (2) computational approaches to interpret the multitudinous and massive networks; (3) network-based application to uncover molecular mechanisms of cancer and related marker identification. We expect that this review will help readers understand personalized computational network biology that plays a significant role in precision cancer medicine.

Cancer Genet 2022; 268-269:115-123. [PMID: 36288643 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergen.2022.10.002] [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: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many types of gene mutation are associated with the drug resistance of cancer cells. XELOX is a new and efficient surgical adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, drug-resistant related genetic mutations associated with this treatment remain unknown. METHODS Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on 36 colorectal cancer patients to identify mutations among patients with residual tumors following preoperative chemotherapy. Enrichment and prognosis of these mutations were evaluated in a TCGA cohort. The pathology of cases with poor prognosis-related mutations was also determined. RESULTS A sequence of SNPs associated with the APC, KRAS, and TP53 genes in 13 of 19 subjects with residual tumors after preoperative chemotherapy was identified. Using survival analysis data from 317 cases in the TCGA database, a prognosis-related haplotype composed of SNPs from APC, KRAS, and TP53 was assembled. Colorectal cancer patients with these mutations had a lower 5-year tumor-specific survival rate than those without (p < 0.05). Most patients with these mutations were at a higher clinical stage (III-IV) of disease. Enrolled subjects with the identified haplotype tended to have poor cancer cell differentiation. CONCLUSIONS The prognosis-related haplotype can be used as a marker of drug resistance and prognosis in colorectal cancer patients after preoperative chemotherapy.

Construction of Nomogram-Based Prediction Model for Clinical Prognosis of Patients with Stage II and III Colon Cancer Who Underwent Xelox Chemotherapy after Laparoscopic Radical Resection. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:7742035. [PMID: 36213840 PMCID: PMC9546684 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7742035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective To construct a nomogram-based prediction model for the clinical prognosis of patients with stage II and III colon cancer who underwent Xelox chemotherapy after laparoscopic radical resection based on large data sets. Methods A total of 7,832 patients with colorectal cancer who received postoperative Xelox-based chemotherapy were screened from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (USA) as the training data set. In addition, 348 domestic patients were screened as the validation data set. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify variables for inclusion in the nomogram-based prediction model. The predictive accuracy of the model was assessed using C-index and calibration curve. Results Age, cell differentiation, nerve invasion, T and N stages of tumours, number of dissected lymph nodes, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level were found to influence the efficacy of postoperative chemotherapy. The nomogram-based prediction model was successfully constructed. The C-index of both the training set and validation set were higher than those of the 7th edition of TNM staging system published by the American Joint Commission on Cancer (C − index of training data set = 0.728, C − index of validation data set = 0.734). The prediction results of the model in the calibration curve showed a good fit with the actual situation. Conclusion We successfully constructed a nomogram-based model to predict the clinical prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer receiving postoperative Xelox-based chemotherapy after laparoscopic radical resection, which showed good clinical application value for predicting the efficacy of postoperative Xelox-based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this follow-up of the R-NAC-01 study, we assessed the long-term oncological benefit of four courses of modified leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil (FU), and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) chemotherapy before rectal surgery. METHODS In this prospective, multicenter study (UMIN 000012559) involving 11 hospitals in Japan, patients with lower rectal cancer underwent four cycles of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy and subsequent surgery within four to six weeks. The 3-year recurrence-free survival and local recurrence rates were then reported. RESULTS Of 41 patients (36 males, 5 females; mean age: 60.8 years old) who received 4 courses of chemotherapy, 40 underwent total mesorectal excision, and 1 underwent total pelvic exenteration. R0 resection was achieved in 40 patients, but none showed a pathological complete response. Twenty-nine patients received adjuvant chemotherapy for an average of 4 months. The 3 year recurrence-free survival and local recurrence rates in patients undergoing curable resection were 72.8% and 8.5%, respectively. cStage III patients with adjuvant chemotherapy had a significantly higher 3 year recurrence-free survival than those without adjuvant chemotherapy (76.6 vs. 40.0%, log-rank p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Four courses of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy before surgery may be a promising treatment strategy for locally advanced rectal cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy might be needed for cStage III patients, even after four courses of neoadjuvant mFOLFOX6.

BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:2033353. [PMID: 34765675 PMCID: PMC8577932 DOI: 10.1155/2021/2033353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant chemotherapy with CapeOX regimen is widely used in resected rectal cancer, which brings benefits to patients. But drug-related toxicities are severe during this process; thus, survival outcomes may potentially be affected. This study explored the efficacy of two Chinese herbal injections, Aidi injection (ADI) and Brucea javanica oil emulsion injection (BJOEI), as adjuvant drugs in CapeOX adjuvant chemotherapy on rectal cancer patients. METHODS A total of 240 cases were enrolled in this retrospective study. 80 cases received CapeOX with ADI (the ADI group), 80 cases received CapeOX with BJOEI (the BJOEI group), and the rest 80 cases received CapeOX alone (the control group). After four cycles' chemotherapy, adverse reactions (ADRs) and quality of life (QOL) were analyzed. Then, patients received follow-up for at least one year, and the endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS All patients completed at least four cycles' adjuvant chemotherapy. The incidence of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia was significantly lower in the ADI group; the incidence of nausea was significantly lower in the BJOEI group; the incidence of hand-foot syndrome was significantly lower in both the ADI group and BJOEI group. Significant difference was found in the control group regarding the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores prior and posttreatment. No difference was found among three groups regarding one-year DFS. CONCLUSION As adjuvant drugs for rectal cancer during CapeOX chemotherapy, ADI shows advantages in decreasing leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, while BJOEI results better in remitting nausea. Both two CHIs had positive impacts on decreasing hand-foot syndrome and the maintenance of patients' QOL. It is worthy of further study and promotion for CHIs.

Abstract
Following standard neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and total mesorectal excision, some patients with locally advanced rectal cancer achieve good response (pathological T0-2N0), while others show nonresponse (pathological T3-4N0 or node-positive). To date, the clinicopathological predictors of good response and the necessity of adjuvant chemotherapy treatment (ACT) in good responders remain unclear. In this retrospective study, clinicopathological characteristics were surveyed to investigate the correlation with good response; furthermore, a propensity score matching (PSM) model was designed to balance the confounding factors between good responders treated with ACT or observation. A total of 2255 patients were enrolled, including 1069 good responders and 1186 nonresponders. The results of the survival analysis showed a good response predicted a better 3-year prognosis (p < 0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed less advanced T and N stages (T3 vs. T4; N0 vs. N1-2), more neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) cycles (≥4 vs. 1-3), and delayed surgery (≥8 weeks vs. <8 weeks) were independent predictors of a good response (p < 0.05). Especially, patients treated with both more nCT cycles and a delay in surgery included the greatest number of good responders (p < 0.001). For good responders, after PSM (1:3), 235 observation cases were matched to 705 ACT cases. As compared with observation, ACT had no greater impact on prognosis analysis (p > 0.05). In conclusion, more cycles of nCT and a delay in surgery predicted a better response, and the delivery of ACT might be omitted in good responders.

Abstract
LESSONS LEARNED The 3-year disease-free survival rate of the twice-daily regimen was not inferior to that of the conventional three-times-daily regimen, and the twice-daily regimen did not lead to an increase in adverse events. The effectiveness of the twice-daily regimen highlights an increased number of treatment options for patients. This will facilitate personalized medicine, particularly for elderly or frail patients who may experience more severe side effects from the combination therapy. BACKGROUND Tegafur-uracil (UFT)/leucovorin calcium (LV) is an adjuvant chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. We conducted a multicenter randomized trial to assess the noninferiority of a twice-daily compared with a three-times-daily UFT/LV regimen for stage II/III colorectal cancer in an adjuvant setting. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to group A (three doses of UFT [300 mg/m2 per day]/LV [75 mg per day]) or B (two doses of UFT [300 mg/m2 per day]/LV [50 mg per day]). The primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival. RESULTS In total, 386 patients were enrolled between July 28, 2011, and September 27, 2013. The 3-year disease-free survival rates of group A (n = 194) and B (n = 192) were 79.4% and 81.4% (95% confidence interval, 72.6-84.4-74.5-85.9), respectively. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events in group A and B were diarrhea (3.9% vs. 7.3%), neutropenia (2.9% vs. 1.6%), increase in aspartate aminotransferase (4.0% vs. 3.9%), increase in alanine aminotransferase (6.2% vs. 6.8%), nausea (1.7% vs. 3.4%), and fatigue (1.1% vs. 2.3%). CONCLUSION Group B outcomes were not inferior to group A outcomes, and adverse events did not increase.

Randomized phase II study comparing the efficacy and safety of SOX versus mFOLFOX6 as neoadjuvant chemotherapy without radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer (KSCC1301). BMC Cancer 2021; 21:23. [PMID: 33402130 PMCID: PMC7786922 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-020-07766-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT), the current standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), is associated with many radiotherapy (RT)-related side effects. We aimed to evaluate whether S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) or folinic acid, 5-FU, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) can be as effective as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) regimens for LARC without RT. METHODS Patients with untreated resectable LARC were randomly assigned to receive SOX or mFOLFOX6. The NAC protocol period was 3 months. The primary endpoint was 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), and the secondary endpoints included pathological effects, surgical completion rate, 3-year survival, and safety. RESULTS From September 2013 to October 2015, 56 and 54 patients were enrolled in the SOX and mFOLFOX6 arms, respectively. The 3-year DFS rates were 69.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 54.9-83.6) and 73.4% (95% CI 58.7-83.6) in the SOX and mFOLFOX6 arms, respectively; no significant differences were found between the arms (log-rank test; P = 0.5315, hazard ratio: 0.808, 95% CI 0.414-1.578). The 3-year survival rates were 92.3 and 91.8% in the SOX and mFOLFOX6 arms, respectively. The surgical completion rate was 98.1% overall, 100% in the SOX arm, and 96.0% in the mFOLFOX6 arm. The incidences of pathological response rates ≥grade 1b were 41.5 and 43.8% in the SOX and mFOLFOX6 arms, respectively. Both treatments were manageable and tolerable. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of SOX and mFOLFOX6, both of which may be new neoadjuvant treatment candidates in previously untreated LARC cases. TRIAL REGISTRATION Date of enrolment of the first participant to the trial: 3rd Oct 2013; This study was registered in the UMIN clinical trials registry on 14th Aug, 2013.

Clin Transl Oncol 2020; 23:526-535. [PMID: 32632654 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-020-02444-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduction of surgeries in axillary has been proved feasible in breast cancer with negative and limited involved axillary lymph nodes. However, for women with a heavy axillary burden, the extent of dissection is still arguable. PATIENTS AND METHODS From a total of 7042 patients with breast cancer who underwent surgical treatments between 2008 and 2014, 692 (9.85%) patients with the axillary staging of N2-3M0 were classified into Level I-II dissection group and Level I-III dissection group. 203 pairs of patients were matched by the propensity score. RESULTS The positive rate of level-III lymph nodes is 62.4% in patients who underwent Level I-III dissection. There are 67 (22.1%) patients who experienced rise in staging from N2 to N3 due to level-III dissection. With a median follow-up of 62.4 months, no significant difference was observed in RFS (P = 0.897), MFS (P = 0.610) and OS (P = 0.755) between level I-II group and level I-III group. The same results were observed in the independent analysis of neoadjuvant and non-neoadjuvant subgroups. The binary regression model showed the positivity of level-III is only associated with involved lymph nodes in level-II. CONCLUSION Additional level-III dissection has a limited impact on survival but still valuable in an accurate stage. The reduction of surgeries in axillary should be treated with discretion in breast cancer patients with a heavy axillary burden.

The influence of PD-L1 genetic variation on the prognosis of R0 resection colorectal cancer patients received capecitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy: a long-term follow-up, real-world retrospective study. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2020; 85:969-978. [PMID: 32314029 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-020-04069-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 03/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the influence of PD-L1 genetic variation on the prognosis of R0 resection colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who received capecitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy in real world. METHODS A total of 315 CRC patients underwent R0 surgical resection and received capecitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy were included. Clinical characteristics were collected from the hospital record system, prognosis was obtained by telephone follow-up. Peripheral blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) specimen of CRC patients were performed for the genotyping of polymorphism and mRNA expression of PD-L1, respectively. Analysis on the association between genotypes and prognosis was conducted. RESULTS The median disease-free survival (DFS) of the 315 CRC patients was 5.1 years, the median overall survival (OS) was 6.0 years. Regarding the PD-L1 gene polymorphism analysis, the prevalence of 901T>C among the CRC patients was as follows: TT genotype 221 cases (70.16%), TC genotype 86 cases (27.30%), CC genotype 8 cases (2.54%), the minor allele frequency was 0.16, the distribution of three genotypes was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P = 0.915). Moreover, the prognosis analysis indicated that the median DFS of patients with TT and TC/CC genotype was 5.4 and 4.0 years, respectively (P = 0.008). The median OS of patients with the two genotypes was 6.4 and 5.0 years (P = 0.007). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the TC/CC genotypes were an independent factor for DFS (odds ratio = 1.56, P = 0.018). Furthermore, the mRNA expression results indicated that the mRNA expression of PD-L1 in PBMC of the patients with TC/CC genotype was significantly higher than patients with TT genotype (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The prognosis of R0 resection CRC patients received capecitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy in real world may be influenced by PD-L1 901T>C polymorphism through mediation of the mRNA expression of PD-L1.
