Abstract
Background: With a global prevalence of about 10%, gastric cancer is among the most prevalent cancers. Currently, there has been an ongoing trend toward investigating genetic disruptions in different cancers because they can be used as a target-specific therapy. We aimed to systemically review some gene expression patterns in gastric cancer. Methods: The current systematic review was designed and executed in 2020. Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, web of knowledge, and Science Direct were searched for relevant studies. A manual search of articles (hand searching), reference exploring, checking for grey literature, and seeking expert opinion were also done. Results: In this review, 65 studies were included, and the expression pattern of HER2/ ERBB2, ER1/Erb1/EGFR, PIK3CA, APC, KRAS, ARID1A, TP53, FGFR2 and MET was investigated. TP53, APC, KRAS, and PIK3CA mutation cumulative frequency were 24.8 (I2=95.05, Q value=525.53, df=26, P<0.001), 7.2 (I2=89.79, Q value=48.99, df=5, P<0.001), 7.8 (I2=93.60, Q value=140.71, df=9, P=0.001) and 8.6 (I2=80.78, Q value=525.53, df=9, P<0.001) percent, respectively. Overexpression was investigated for HER1/ Erb1/EGFR, PIK3CA, APC, KRAS, ARID1A, TP53, CCND1, FGFR2, MET and MYC. The frequency of TP53 and HER2/ERBB2 were 43.1 (I2=84.06, Q value=58.09, df=9, P<0.001) and 20.8 (I2=93.61, Q value=234.89, df=15, P<0.001) percent, respectively. Conclusion: More research is encouraged to investigate the genes for which we could not perform a meta-analysis.

Detection of HER2 amplification in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded breast carcinoma tissue with digital PCR using two TFF3 sequences as internal reference. Exp Mol Pathol 2018; 104:235-238. [PMID: 29715436 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2018.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2018] [Revised: 03/30/2018] [Accepted: 04/27/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a highly accurate method to determine DNA concentration and detect copy number variations. We developed an approach to assess HER2 gene amplification status using ddPCR with two sequences of TFF3 as reference probes. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN 76 templates of carcinoma DNA were prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. Digital PCR assay of the copy number of HER2 and TFF3 DNA was performed on the samples. The results were compared to prior fluorescent in-situ hybridation (FISH) assays performed on the same samples. RESULTS The ddPCR assay had high concordance with the conventionally used immunohistochemistry (IHC) and FISH methods. The ddPCR method returned fewer indeterminate results than IHC. Concordance between a ddPCR plus FISH method and IHC plus FISH can rise to 98.7% (75/76) after validation is carried out. CONCLUSION It's potentially possible to improve the sensitivity and specifity of HER2 ddPCR assays using reference sequences not co-localized with HER2 on chromosome 17, and combining results from multiple sequences. Adopting an approach based on ddPCR HER2 assays plus FISH could lead to reduced costs, labour, and time consumption compared to current IHC plus FISH standard, while not losing precision.

Coupling CDH17 and CLDN18 markers for comprehensive membrane-targeted detection of human gastric cancer. Oncotarget 2018; 7:64168-64181.

Abstract
Patients with gastric cancer typically face gastrectomies even when few or no nodal metastases are reported. Current procedures poorly predict lymphatic metastases; thus, evaluation of target molecules expressed on cancer cell membranes is necessary for in vivo detection. However, marker development is limited by the intratumoral heterogeneity of gastric cancer cells. In this study, multiple gene expression arrays of 42 systemic normal tissue samples and 56 gastric cancer samples were used to investigate two adhesion molecules, cadherin 17 (CDH17) and claudin 18 (CLDN18), which are intestinal and gastric markers, respectively. Expression of CDH17 and CLDN18 was partially redundant, but overlapped in 50 of 56 cases (89.3%). Tissue microarrays constructed using primary lesions and nodal metastases of 106 advanced gastric cancers revealed CDH17 and CLDN18 expression in 98 positive cases of 106 (92%). Hierarchical clustering classified gastric cancers into three subgroups, CDH17(++)/CLDN18(+/-), CDH17(++)/CLDN18(++) or CDH17(+)/CLDN18(+), and CDH17(-)/CLDN18(++/+/-). Whole tissue sections displayed strong, homogeneous staining for CDH17 and CLDN18. Together, these results indicate that CDH17 and CLDN18 are useful target molecules; moreover, their coupling can aid in the comprehensive detection and localization of gastric cancer metastases in vivo to overcome challenges associated with intratumoral heterogeneity.

Abstract
Microwell arrays are widely used for the analysis of fluorescent-labelled biomaterials. For rapid detection and automated analysis of microwell arrays, the computational image analysis is required. Support Vector Machines (SVM) can be used for this task. Here, we present a SVM-based approach for the analysis of microwell arrays consisting of three distinct steps: labeling, training for feature selection, and classification into three classes. The three classes are filled, partially filled, and unfilled microwells. Next, the partially filled wells are analyzed by SVM and their tendency towards filled or unfilled tested through applying a Gaussian filter. Through this, all microwells can be categorized as either filled or unfilled by our algorithm. Therefore, this SVM-based computational image analysis allows for an accurate and simple classification of microwell arrays.

Use of droplet digital PCR for quantitative and automatic analysis of the HER2 status in breast cancer patients. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2016; 162:11-18. [PMID: 28039535 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-016-4092-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2016] [Accepted: 12/19/2016] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) has been used to yield an absolute measure of nucleic acid concentrations. Recently, a new method referred to as droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has gained attention as a more precise and less subjective assay to quantify DNA amplification. We demonstrated the usefulness of ddPCR to determine HER2 gene amplification of breast cancer. METHODS In this study, we used ddPCR to measure the HER2 gene copy number in clinical formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of 41 primary breast cancer patients. To improve the accuracy of ddPCR analysis, we also estimated the tumor content ratio (TCR) for each sample. RESULTS Our determination method for HER2 gene amplification using the ddPCR ratio (ERBB2:ch17cent copy number ratio) combined with the TCR showed high consistency with the conventionally defined HER2 gene status according to ASCO-CAP (American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists) guidelines (P<0.0001, Fisher's exact test). The equivocal area was established by adopting 99% confidence intervals obtained by cell line assays, which made it possible to identify all conventionally HER2-positive cases with our method. In addition, we succeeded in automating a major part of the process from DNA extraction to determination of HER2 gene status. CONCLUSIONS The introduction of ddPCR to determine the HER2 gene status in breast cancer is feasible for use in clinical practice and might complement or even replace conventional methods of examination in the future.
