Abstract
BACKGROUND Mirtazapine blocks 5-hydroxytryptamine type (5-HT)2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT3 and histamine H1 receptors, similarly to olanzapine. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of mirtazapine plus granisetron and dexamethasone for carboplatin (CBDCA)-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with thoracic cancers. METHODS We conducted a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial in four institutions in Japan. Registered patients were moderately to highly emetogenic chemotherapy-naïve, and were scheduled to receive CBDCA at area under the curve (AUC) ≥ 4 mg/mL per minute. Patients received mirtazapine 15 mg/day orally at bedtime for four consecutive days, in combination with granisetron and dexamethasone. Primary endpoint was complete response (CR; no emesis and no use of rescue medication) rate during the delayed period (24-120 h). RESULTS Between July 2022 and July 2023, 52 patients were enrolled, and 48 patients were evaluated. CR rates in the delayed (24-120 h), overall (0-120 h), and acute periods (0-24 h) were 83.3%, 83.3%, and 100%, respectively. No grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were observed except for one patient who had grade 3 dry mouth as evaluated by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic antiemetic therapy with mirtazapine plus granisetron and dexamethasone shows promising efficacy and an acceptable safety profile. This three-drug combination appears to be a reasonable treatment approach in patients with thoracic cancers receiving a CBDCA-based regimen at AUC ≥ 4 mg/mL per minute.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple prolonged symptoms are observed in patients who recover from an acute COVID-19 infection, which is defined as long COVID. General fatigue is frequently observed in patients with long COVID during acute and post-acute phases. This study aimed to identify the specific risk factors for general fatigue in long COVID. METHODS Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 aged over 18 years were enrolled in a multicenter cohort study at 26 medical institutions. Clinical data during hospitalization and patient-reported outcomes after discharge were collected from medical records, paper-based questionnaires, and smartphone apps. RESULTS Among prolonged symptoms through 1-year follow-ups, general fatigue was the most interfering symptom in daily life. Patients with protracted fatigue at all follow-up periods had lower quality of life scores at the 12-month follow-up. Univariate logistic regression analysis of the presence or absence of general fatigue at the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-ups identified asthma, younger age, and female sex as risk factors for prolonged fatigue. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that asthma was an independent risk factor for persistent fatigue during the 12-month follow-up period. Longitudinal changes in the symptoms of patients with or without asthma demonstrated that general fatigue, not cough and dyspnea, was significantly prolonged in patients with asthma. CONCLUSIONS In a Japanese population with long COVID, prolonged general fatigue was closely linked to asthma. A preventive approach against COVID-19 is necessary to avoid sustained fatigue and minimize social and economic losses in patients with asthma.

Abstract
With the rising numbers of patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-a sequelae of COVID-19-has become a major problem. Different sexes and age groups develop different long COVID symptoms, and the risk factors for long COVID remain unclear. Therefore, we performed subgroup analyses of patients with COVID-19, classifying them into different groups. In this multicenter cohort study, using an original questionnaire, we examined patients (≥18 years old) diagnosed with COVID-19 from November 2020 to March 2022 and hospitalized at participating medical facilities. In total, 1066 patients were registered (361 female, 620 male). Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (n = 344; 32.5%). Females with hypertension were significantly less likely to develop long COVID symptoms than those without hypertension (odds ratio [OR] 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.27-0.98; p = 0.043). In females, Ca channel blocker administration, rather than having hypertension, was significantly associated with reductions in the frequency of alopecia (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.03-0.67, p = 0.015), memory impairment (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02-0.82, p = 0.029), sleeping disorders (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.04-0.67, p = 0.012), tinnitus (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.05-0.98, p = 0.047), sputum (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.10-0.92, p = 0.035), and fever (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.93, p = 0.036). Several long COVID symptoms, including alopecia, were significantly negatively associated with Ca channel-blocker administration in female patients with long COVID. Calcium channel blockers may reduce the development of long COVID in females.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple prolonged symptoms observed in patients who recovered from COVID-19 are defined as long COVID. Although diverse phenotypic combinations are possible, they remain unclear. This study aimed to perform a cluster analysis of long COVID in Japan and clarify the association between its characteristics and background factors and quality of life (QOL). METHODS This multicentre prospective cohort study collected various symptoms and QOL after COVID-19 from January 2020 to February 2021. This study included 935 patients aged ≥18 years with COVID-19 at 26 participating medical facilities. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using 24 long COVID symptom at 3 months after diagnosis. RESULTS Participants were divided into the following five clusters: numerous symptoms across multiple organs (cluster 1, n=54); no or minor symptoms (cluster 2, n=546); taste and olfactory disorders (cluster 3, n=76); fatigue, psychoneurotic symptoms and dyspnoea (low prevalence of cough and sputum) (cluster 4, n=207) and fatigue and dyspnoea (high prevalence of cough and sputum) (cluster 5, n=52). Cluster 1 included elderly patients with severe symptoms, while cluster 3 included young female with mild symptoms. No significant differences were observed in the comorbidities. Cluster 1 showed the most impaired QOL, followed by clusters 4 and 5; these changes as well as the composition of symptoms were observed over 1 year. CONCLUSIONS We identified patients with long COVID with diverse characteristics into five clusters. Future analysis of these different pathologies could result in individualised treatment of long COVID. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER The study protocol is registered at UMIN clinical trials registry (UMIN000042299).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Companion diagnostic tests play a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Oncomine Dx Target Test (ODxTT) Multi-CDx System has emerged as a prominent companion diagnostic method. However, its efficacy in detecting driver gene mutations, particularly rare mutations, warrants investigation. AIMS This study aimed to assess the performance of the ODxTT in detecting driver gene mutations in NSCLC patients. Specifically, we aimed to evaluate its sensitivity in detecting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, a key determinant of treatment selection in NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of NSCLC patients who underwent testing with the ODxTT at Keio University Hospital between May 2020 and March 2022. Patient samples were subjected to both DNA and RNA tests. Driver gene mutation status was assessed, and instances of missed mutations were meticulously examined. RESULTS Of the 90 patients, five had nucleic acid quality problems, while 85 underwent both DNA and RNA tests. Driver gene mutations were detected in 56/90 (62.2%) patients. Of the 34 patient specimens, driver mutations were not detected using the ODxTT; however, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations were detected using polymerase chain reaction-based testing in two patients, and a KRAS mutation was detected by careful examination of the sequence data obtained using the ODxTT in one patient. For the above three cases, carefully examining the gene sequence information obtained using the ODxTT could identify driver mutations that were not mentioned in the returned test results. Additionally, we confirmed comparable instances of overlook results for EGFR mutations in the dataset from South Korea, implying that this type of oversight could occur in other countries using the ODxTT. EGFR mutation was missed in ODxTT in Japan (6.3%, 2/32), South Korea (2.0%, 1/49), and overall (3.7%, 3/81). CONCLUSION Even if sufficient tumor samples are obtained, rare EGFR mutations (which are excluded from the ODxTT's genetic mutation list) might not be detected using the current ODxTT system due to the program used for sequence analysis. However, such rare EGFR mutations can still be accurately detected on ODxTT's sequence data using next-generation sequencing.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the clinical features of long COVID cases presenting with upper respiratory symptoms, a topic not yet fully elucidated. Study Design Prospective cohort study. Setting A multicenter study involving 26 medical facilities in Japan. Methods Inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥18 years old with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis via severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 polymerase chain reaction or antigen testing, who were hospitalized at the participating medical facilities. Analyzing clinical information and patient-reported outcomes from 1009 patients were analyzed. The outcome measured the degree of initial symptoms for taste or olfactory disorders and assessed the likelihood of these symptoms persisting as long COVID, as well as the impact on quality of life if the upper respiratory symptoms persisted as long COVID. Results Patients with high albumin, low C-reactive protein, and low lactate dehydrogenase in laboratory tests tended to experience taste or olfactory disorders as part of long COVID. Those with severe initial symptoms had a higher risk of experiencing residual symptoms at 3 months, with an odds ratio of 2.933 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.282-6.526) for taste disorders and 3.534 (95% CI, 1.382-9.009) for olfactory disorders. Presence of upper respiratory symptoms consistently resulted in lower quality of life scores. Conclusion The findings from this cohort study suggest that severe taste or olfactory disorders as early COVID-19 symptoms correlate with an increased likelihood of persistent symptoms in those disorders as long COVID.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) long-COVID symptoms, including diarrhea and abdominal pain, have been reported in patients with long-COVID. However, the clinical features of patients with GI long-COVID symptoms remain unclear. We conducted a large-scale prospective cohort study focusing on the clinical characteristics of patients with GI long-COVID symptoms in Japan. Among 943 COVID-19 patients, 58 patients (6.2%) had GI long-COVID symptoms. The health-related quality of life (QOL) parameters (the Short Form-8 [SF-8] and Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 level [EQ-5D-5L]) at 12 months after diagnosis in patients with GI long-COVID symptoms were significantly lower than in those without GI long-COVID symptoms (P < 0.0001). Moreover, patients with GI long-COVID symptoms had more varied long-COVID symptoms compared to patients without GI long-COVID symptoms.

Abstract
We conducted a subgroup analysis of a study on the long-term effects of COVID-19 (long COVID) in Japan to assess the effect of vaccination on long COVID symptoms. We assessed the clinical course of 111 patients with long COVID at the time of vaccination. The follow-up period was one year from the onset of COVID-19 or until the administration of the third vaccine dose. Of the 111 patients, 15 (13.5%) reported improvement, four (3.6%) reported deterioration, and 92 (82.9%) reported no change in their long COVID symptoms after vaccination. The most common long COVID symptoms before vaccination were alopecia, dyspnea, muscle weakness, fatigue, and headache among participants whose symptoms improved. Reduced dyspnea and alopecia were the most frequently reported improvements in symptoms after vaccination. Some symptoms persisted, including sleep disturbance, myalgia, and hypersensitivity. Vaccination did not appear to have a clinically important effect on patients with long COVID symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple prolonged symptoms are observed in patients who recover from acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), defined as long COVID. Cough and sputum are presented by patients with long COVID during the acute and post-acute phases. This study aimed to identify specific risk factors for cough and sputum in patients with long COVID. METHODS Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 aged 18 years were enrolled in a multicenter cohort study at 26 medical institutions. Clinical data during hospitalization and patient-reported outcomes after discharge were collected from medical records, paper-based questionnaires, and smartphone apps. RESULTS At the 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups, there were no differences in the incidence rates of wet and dry coughs. In contrast, the proportion of patients presenting sputum without coughing increased over time compared to those with sputum and coughing. Univariate analyses of cough and sputum at all follow-up visits identified intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV), smoking, and older age as risk factors for prolonged symptoms. At the 12-month follow-up, persistent cough and sputum were associated with the characteristics of severe COVID-19 based on imaging findings, renal and liver dysfunction, pulmonary thromboembolism, and higher serum levels of LDH, KL-6, and HbA1C. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the severity of acute COVID-19 infection was correlated with prolonged cough and sputum production. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that IMV ventilator management were independent risk factors for prolonged cough and sputum at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS In a Japanese population with long COVID, prolonged cough and sputum production were closely associated with severe COVID-19. These findings emphasize that a preventive approach including appropriate vaccination and contact precaution and further development of therapeutic drugs for COVID-19 are highly recommended for patients with risk factors for severe infection to avoid persistent respiratory symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly since 2019, and the number of reports regarding long COVID has increased. Although the distribution of long COVID depends on patient characteristics, epidemiological data on Japanese patients are limited. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the distribution of long COVID in Japanese patients. This study is the first nationwide Japanese prospective cohort study on long COVID. METHODS This multicenter, prospective cohort study enrolled hospitalized COVID-19 patients aged ≥18 years at 26 Japanese medical institutions. In total, 1200 patients were enrolled. Clinical information and patient-reported outcomes were collected from medical records, paper questionnaires, and smartphone applications. RESULTS We collected data from 1066 cases with both medical records and patient-reported outcomes. The proportion of patients with at least one symptom decreased chronologically from 93.9% (947/1009) during hospitalization to 46.3% (433/935), 40.5% (350/865), and 33.0% (239/724) at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Patients with at least one long COVID symptom showed lower quality of life and scored higher on assessments for depression, anxiety, and fear of COVID-19. Female sex, middle age (41-64 years), oxygen requirement, and critical condition during hospitalization were risk factors for long COVID. CONCLUSIONS This study elucidated the symptom distribution and risks of long COVID in the Japanese population. This study provides reference data for future studies of long COVID in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS With the aim of strengthening the scientific evidence of immune-cell therapy for cancer and further examining its safety, in October 2015, our hospital jointly established the Cancer Immune-Cell Therapy Evaluation Group (CITEG) with 39 medical facilities nationwide. METHODS Medical information, such as patients' background characteristics, clinical efficacy and therapeutic cell types obtained from each facility, has been accumulated, analyzed and evaluated by CITEG. In this prospective study, we analyzed the adverse events associated with immune-cell therapy until the end of September 2022, and we presented our interim safety evaluation. RESULTS A total of 3839 patients with malignant tumor were treated with immune-cell therapy, with a median age of 64 years (range, 13-97 years) and a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.08 (1846:1993). Most patients' performance status was 0 or 1 (86.8%) at the first visit, and 3234 cases (84.2%) were advanced or recurrent cases, which accounted for the majority. The total number of administrations reported in CITEG was 31890, of which 960 (3.0%) showed adverse events. The numbers of adverse events caused by treatment were 363 (1.8%) of 19661 administrations of αβT cell therapy, 9 of 845 administrations of γδT-cell therapy (1.1%) and 10 of 626 administrations of natural killer cell therapy (1.6%). The number of adverse events caused by dendritic cell (DC) vaccine therapy was 578 of 10748 administrations (5.4%), which was significantly larger than those for other treatments. Multivariate analysis revealed that αβT cell therapy had a significantly greater risk of adverse events at performance status 1 or higher, and patients younger than 64 years, women or adjuvant immune-cell therapy had a greater risk of adverse events in DC vaccine therapy. Injection-site reactions were the most frequently reported adverse events, with 449 events, the majority of which were associated with DC vaccine therapy. Among all other adverse events, fever (228 events), fatigue (141 events) and itching (131 events) were frequently reported. In contrast, three patients had adverse events (fever, abdominal pain and interstitial pneumonia) that required hospitalization, although they were weakly related to this therapy; rather, it was considered to be the effect of treatment for the primary disease. CONCLUSIONS Immune-cell therapy for cancer was considered to be a safe treatment without serious adverse events.

Abstract
We report the first case of a patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) who achieved disease- and treatment-free survival for nearly 10 years. A 50-year-old man was diagnosed with NSCLC with MPE and underwent chemotherapy and salvage thoracic surgery. The patient received chemotherapy with cisplatin, pemetrexed, and bevacizumab, and a partial response was achieved. After informed consent was obtained from the patient, right middle lobectomy was performed to achieve local tumor control. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with pemetrexed and bevacizumab was discontinued after almost 1 year of chemotherapy due to side effects such as diarrhea and muscle weakness. The patient has survived without recurrence of lung cancer for more than 11 years after being diagnosed and nearly 10 years after discontinuing chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The rapid spread of COVID-19 posed a global burden. Substantial number of people died of the disease in the acute phase of infection. In addition, a significant proportion of patients have been reported to suffer from post-acute phase symptoms, sequelae of COVID-19, which may negatively influence the quality of daily living and/or socioeconomic circumstances of the patients. However, no previous study has comprehensively and objectively assessed the quality of life of patients by using existing international scales. Further, evidence of socioeconomic consequences among patients with COVID-19 is scarce. To address the multidimensional issues from sequelae of COVID-19, evidence from comprehensive surveys beyond clinical perspectives is critical that investigates health, and social determinants of disease progression as well as socioeconomic consequences at a large scale. METHODS AND ANALYSIS In this study, we plan to conduct a nationwide and comprehensive survey for the sequelae of COVID-19 in a total of 1000 patients diagnosed at 27 hospitals throughout Japan. This study will evaluate not only the health-related status of patients from clinical perspectives but also the Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) scores, socioeconomic status and consequences to discuss the sequelae of the disease and the related risk factors. The primary endpoint is the frequency of long-term complications of COVID-19 infection. The secondary endpoints are risk factors for progression to sequelae of COVID-19 infection. The study will provide robust and important evidence as a resource to tackle the issues from the sequelae of COVID-19 from the multi-dimensional perspectives. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial was approved by the Keio University School of Medicine Ethics Committee (20200243, UMIN000042299). The results of this study will be reported at a society meeting or published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Abstract
Background Metastatic peritoneal carcinomatosis (MPC) is not common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes are still unclear. Patients and Methods We recruited 46 NSCLC patients with MPC at Keio University and affiliated hospitals (Keio Lung Oncology Group) between January 2011 and December 2017, then retrospectively investigated their clinical characteristics and the impact of treatment interventions on their survival. Results The profile of histological subtype was predominantly adenocarcinoma and 15 patients harbored driver oncogenes. Univariate and multivariate analysis demonstrated that performance status and the presence of a driver oncogene were significantly associated with the prolonged overall survival (OS). Regarding treatment, the median OS in the treatment group (9.3 months) was significantly longer than in the best supportive care group (1.3 months) (P < 0.0001). Conclusion The prognosis of MPC in NSCLC patients who receive only the best supportive care is poor, but therapeutic intervention may improve prognosis.

Abstract
Transdifferentiation of lung adenocarcinoma to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been reported in a subset of lung cancer cases that bear EGFR mutations. Several studies have reported the prerequisite role of TP53 and RB1 alterations in transdifferentiation. However, the mechanism underlying transdifferentiation remains understudied, and definitive additional events, the third hit, for transdifferentiation have not yet been identified. In addition, no prospective experiments provide direct evidence for transdifferentiation. In this study, we show that FGF9 upregulation plays an essential role in transdifferentiation. An integrative omics analysis of paired tumor samples from a patient with transdifferentiated SCLC exhibited robust upregulation of FGF9. Furthermore, FGF9 upregulation was confirmed at the protein level in four of six (66.7%) paired samples. FGF9 induction transformed mouse lung adenocarcinoma-derived cells to SCLC-like tumors in vivo through cell autonomous activation of the FGFR pathway. In vivo treatment of transdifferentiated SCLC-like tumors with the pan-FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 inhibited growth. In addition, FGF9 induced neuroendocrine differentiation, a pathologic characteristic of SCLC, in established human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Thus, the findings provide direct evidence for FGF9-mediated SCLC transdifferentiation and propose the FGF9-FGFR axis as a therapeutic target for transdifferentiated SCLC. SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrates that FGF9 plays a role in the transdifferentiation of lung adenocarcinoma to small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is caused by the paired-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B) mutation and predominantly diagnosed during the neonatal period. Although late-onset CCHS and PHOX2B mutation carriers have been reported, the features of these disease states in adults remain uncertain. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of adult-onset CCHS and PHOX2B-mutation carriers in adult. METHODS We mainly searched the PubMed/Medline and Cochrane Databases and classified our target patients into 2 groups: group A, symptomatically diagnosed with late-onset CCHS in adulthood; group B, adult PHOX2B-mutation carriers. Then, clinical characteristics, including the onset, treatment, long-term course, and pattern of the PHOX2B mutation in both groups were analyzed. Additionally, a new adult-case of late-onset CCHS was added to the analysis. RESULTS Group A was comprised of 12 patients. The onset triggers of illness included a history of respiratory compromise following general anesthesia and respiratory tract infections. All patients in group A had 20/25 polyalanine repeat mutations and required some chronic ventilatory support at least during sleep, including portable positive pressure ventilator via tracheostomy or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. In these patients with ventilatory support during sleep, sudden death or poor prognosis was not reported. Group B was comprised of 33 adults from 24 families with PHOX2B mutations. Nine patients in group B were confirmed with the diagnosis of CCHS. Although polyalanine repeat mutations 20/25 represented the most common gene mutation, diverse mutations, including mosaicism, were observed. Hypoventilation of several cases in group B were underdiagnosed by overnight polysomnography without monitoring for CO₂. CONCLUSION Alveolar hypoventilation with unknown origin can be caused by the PHOX2B mutation even in adult cases. Both the identification of the PHOX2B mutation and the incorporation of capnography in polysomnography are important for adult cases with unexplained alveolar hypoventilation or asymptomatic mutation carriers.

Abstract
ABT‐263 (Navitoclax) is a BH3‐mimetic drugs targeting anti‐apoptotic B‐cell lymphoma‐2 (BCL‐2) family proteins, including BCL‐2, BCL‐xL, and BCL‐w, thereby inducing apoptosis. In small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells, the response to ABT‐263 is associated with the expression of myeloid cell leukemia‐1 (MCL‐1) protein, however the efficacy of ABT‐263 in non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been thoroughly evaluated. There are currently no established biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of ABT‐263 treatment in NSCLC. We screened a panel of different NSCLC cell lines and found that ABT‐263 inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in Calu‐1, Calu‐3, and BID007 cells. Inconsistent with previous reports on SCLC, low levels of MCL‐1 did not predict the response to ABT‐263 in NSCLC cells, however we found that intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells were associated with sensitivity to ABT‐263 in NSCLC cells. We also showed that increasing the level of intracellular ROS could enhance the sensitivity to ABT‐263 in NSCLC cells. In summary, we propose that the intracellular levels of ROS could be used as a potential novel biomarker for predicting a response to ABT‐263 in NSCLC. Furthermore, we show some evidence supporting the further assessment of ABT‐263 as a new therapeutic strategy in patients with NSCLC combined with agents regulating ROS levels. We believe that our findings and follow‐up studies on this matter would lead to novel diagnostic and treatment strategies in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Laninamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor (NAI), has been used for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza A/B. To date, pneumonia has not been reported as an adverse effect of NAIs. Here, we report the first 2 cases of drug-induced pneumonitis after the administration of laninamivir octanoate (LO), a pro-drug of laninamivir. Case 1 reports a 20-year-old healthy woman presenting with LO-induced pneumonitis so severe that it was necessary for endotracheal intubation and administration of mechanical ventilator support. Steroids were used for the treatment of pneumonitis and rapid improvement was observed. Case 2 reports a 35-year-old healthy woman presenting with less severe LO-induced pneumonitis that improved without any treatment. In both cases, drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation tests (DLSTs) were positive. In the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, the proportion of eosinophils to lymphocytes was higher in Case 1. Conversely, the proportion of lymphocytes to eosinophils was higher in Case 2. Collectively, we determined 3 clinical issues: (1) LO could cause pneumonia; (2) BAL and DLST could be helpful in the diagnosis of LO-induced pneumonitis; and (3) LO-induced pneumonia could become severe, though steroids were effective in improving it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognostic understanding in advanced cancer patients and their caregivers may have an impact on the delivery of effective care. The aims of this study were to explore prognostic understanding at diagnosis in both patients with advanced lung cancer and their caregivers and to investigate correlates of their understanding. SUBJECTS, MATERIALS, AND METHODS A total of 193 patients with newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer and their 167 caregivers were enrolled at 16 hospitals in Japan. We assessed their perceptions of prognosis and goals of therapy and examined their associations with their sociodemographic characteristics, clinical status, quality of life, mood symptoms, and the status of disclosure of information by their treating physicians. RESULTS One fifth of patients and caregivers (21.7% and 17.6%, respectively) mistakenly believed that the patients' cancer was "completely curable." Substantial proportions of them (16.9% and 10.3%, respectively) mistakenly believed that the primary goal of therapy was to remove all the cancer. Levels of anxiety and depression in both patients and caregivers were significantly higher among those who had accurate understanding of prognosis. In multivariate analyses, inaccurate perceptions of prognosis in patients were associated with sex, better emotional well-being, and lower lung cancer-specific symptom burden. Caregivers' inaccurate perceptions of patients' prognoses were associated with better performance status and better emotional well-being of patients. CONCLUSION Substantial proportions of advanced lung cancer patients and their caregivers misunderstood their prognosis. Interventions to improve their accurate prognostic understanding should be developed with careful attention paid to its associated factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This study demonstrated that substantial proportions of patients with newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer and their caregivers had misunderstandings about their prognosis. Accurate perceptions of prognosis, which are indispensable in the delivery of effective care, were associated with elevated levels of anxiety and depression in both patients and caregivers, warranting psychosocial care and support for them immediately after diagnosis. Inaccurate perceptions of prognosis in patients were associated with better emotional well-being and lower lung cancer-specific symptom burden. Illness understanding in caregivers was associated with patients' physical and mental status. Those findings provide insight into how they obtain accurate illness understanding.

Abstract
Osimertinib is a highly active agent for patients with progression of lung cancer despite epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. This resistance is usually due to EGFR exon 20 T790M mutation, which can be detected by repeat biopsy. We report a case in which EGFR exon 20 T790M mutation was detected by repeat ascitic fluid examination. A 71-year-old woman with lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR exon 19 deletion was started on erlotinib(25 mg/day)as second-line therapy. Two years later, there was increase in pleural effusion, with concomitant malignant ascites; however, pathologic examination of the pleural and ascitic fluids did not detect EGFR T790Mmutation. Afatinib(2 0mg/day) was started, but there was no decrease in the severity of ascites. Two months later, her condition was extremely deteriorated. Finally, a much larger amount of ascitic fluid obtained by paracentesis was processed for cellblock, which demonstrated EGFR exon 20 T790M mutation. Thereafter, the ascites and the primary lesion dramatically decreased after treatment with osimerti- nib(80mg/day).

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), as second- or third-line treatment for elderly Japanese patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The patients eligible for this phase II trial were aged ≥70 years, had stage III/IV or recurrent NSCLC, and had previously received 1 or 2 chemotherapy regimens that did not include EGFR-TKIs. The patients received erlotinib at a dose of 150 mg/day. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. A total of 38 patients with a median age of 76 years were enrolled. The majority of the patients were men (66%), had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 1 (58%), stage IV disease (66%) and adenocarcinoma (74%). Of the 35 patients, 13 (34%) had tumors with EGFR mutations. The ORR was 26.3% (95% confidence interval: 12.1-40.5%) and the disease control rate was 47.4%. The median PFS was 3.7 months and the median OS was 17.3 months. The grade 3 adverse events observed included rash (13%), diarrhea (5%), interstitial pneumonitis (5%), anorexia (3%) and gastrointestinal bleeding (3%). Grade 4 or 5 adverse events were not observed. The median OS did not differ significantly between patients aged <75 years (14.9 months) and those aged ≥75 years (19.0 months; P=0.226). Therefore, erlotinib was found to be effective and well-tolerated in elderly patients with previously treated NSCLC.

Abstract
Activation of the EGFR pathway is one of the mechanisms inducing acquired resistance to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as crizotinib and alectinib. Ceritinib is a highly selective ALK inhibitor and shows promising efficacy in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) harboring the ALK gene rearrangement. However, the precise mechanism underlying acquired resistance to ceritinib is not well-defined. This study set out to clarify the mechanism in ALK-translocated lung cancer and to find the preclinical rationale overcoming EGFR pathway-induced acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs. To this end, ceritinib-resistant cells (H3122-CER) were established from the H3122 NSCLC cell line harboring the ALK gene rearrangement via long-term exposure to ceritinib. H3122-CER cells acquired resistance to ceritinib through EGFR bypass pathway activation. Furthermore, H3122 cells that became resistant to ceritinib or alectinib through EGFR pathway activation showed cross-resistance to other ALK-TKIs. Ceritinib and afatinib combination treatment partially restored the sensitivity to ceritinib. IMPLICATIONS This study proposes a preclinical rationale to use ALK-TKIs and afatinib combination therapy for ALK-translocated lung cancers that have acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs through EGFR pathway activation.

Abstract
Alectinib is a highly selective ALK inhibitor and shows promising efficacy in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) harboring the EML4-ALK gene rearrangement. The precise mechanism of acquired resistance to alectinib is not well defined. The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism of acquired resistance to alectinib in ALK-translocated lung cancer cells. We established alectinib-resistant cells (H3122-AR) from the H3122 NSCLC cell line, harboring the EML4-ALK gene rearrangement, by long-term exposure to alectinib. The mechanism of acquired resistance to alectinib in H3122-AR cells was evaluated by phospho-receptor tyrosine kinase (phospho-RTK) array screening and Western blotting. No mutation of the ALK-TK domain was found. Phospho-RTK array analysis revealed that the phosphorylation level of EGFR was increased in H3122-AR cells compared with H3122. Expression of TGFα, one of the EGFR ligands, was significantly increased and knockdown of TGFα restored the sensitivity to alectinib in H3122-AR cells. We found combination therapy targeting ALK and EGFR with alectinib and afatinib showed efficacy both in vitro and in a mouse xenograft model. We propose a preclinical rationale to use the combination therapy with alectinib and afatinib in NSCLC that acquired resistance to alectinib by the activation of EGFR bypass signaling.

Abstract
Abstract
Rationale: Recently, the importance of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and its receptor (FGFR) signals has been emphasized in various types of cancer, including lung cancer. FGFs and FGFRs are reported to be related to drug resistance, cell proliferation, differentiation and motility. Among various FGFs, FGF9 is a developmentally important FGF associated with epithelial airway branching, and its expression is repressed in normal adult lungs. We have previously shown that FGF9 is highly expressed in NSCLC cells, and FGF9 expression was associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients. Furthermore, we reported that induction of FGF9 in adult lung results in the rapid formation of adenocarcinoma in specific gene engineered mouse model. However, the exact roles of FGF9 in lung epithelial cells remain elusive.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to clarify the roles of FGF9 in lung epithelial cells.
Methods: For in vitro experiments, a stable cell line with constitutive expression of FGF9 in MLE12 (a mouse lung alveolar type II cell line transformed by SV40 large T antigen) was established by retroviral infection. The effect of FGF9 on proliferation, colony formation capacity and downstream signaling was evaluated by MTS assay, softagar colony formation assay and Western blotting, respectively. For in vivo experiments, the cells were transplanted into immunodeficient mice subcutaneously, and the size of tumor was measured. To evaluate the efficacy of FGFR inhibitors for FGF9-driven lung cancers, AZD4547, selective FGFR inhibitor, was orally administered. For pathological characterization of the tumors, immunohistochemical staining was performed.
Fifteen surgically-resected SCLC samples were obtained and the expression of FGF9 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.
Results: FGF9 has oncogenic ability in vitro and its effect may be exerted by the activation of MAPK pathway through FGFR1 and FGFR3 in MLE12 cells. Unexpectedly, pathological analysis revealed FGF9-driven tumors exhibited SCLC histology. Selective FGFR inhibitor, AZD4547 suppressed tumor growth of FGF9-driven MLE12 tumors. FGF9 is highly expressed in human SCLC samples (67%).
Conclusions: These results suggest that FGF9 has roles of tumor initiation and progression in lung cancer, especially in SCLC.
SCLC which highly expresses FGF9 may be a target of FGFR inhibitors.

Abstract
Abstract
Rationale:
ABT-263 (Navitoclax) is one of the BH3 mimetics targeting anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family proteins such as Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Bcl-w, thereby inducing apoptosis. It has been reported that the response to ABT-263 is associated with expressions of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1), an anti-apoptotic protein. Given its effectiveness as a single agent in preclinical studies, ABT-263 is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and leukemia. However, the efficacy of ABT-263 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been fully evaluated. We examined the effect of ABT-263 on cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines and investigated the underlying mechanisms.
Methods:
The following 9 NSCLC cell lines were examined: SK-LU-1, A549, H358, Calu3, H3122, H1975, H460, H441, and BID007. The effects of ABT-263 in NSCLC cell lines were evaluated by MTS assay. Apoptosis was examined by flowcytometry using staining for annexin V and propidium iodide (PI), and also western blotting for cleaved PARP. Quantitative RT-PCR was carried out to assess the mRNA expression levels of anti-apoptotic genes and pro-apoptotic genes. Immunoprecipitation and western blotting were performed to compare the levels of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins between the sensitive and resistant cell lines. In addition, knockdown of Mcl-1 was performed by siRNA.
Results:
By screening 9 NSCLC cell lines using MTS assay, we found Calu3 and BID007were sensitive to ABT-263. We also confirmed that apoptosis was induced only in the ABT-263 sensitive lines but not in the ABT-263 resistant cell lines after ABT-263 treatment. However, the expression levels of Bcl-2 family proteins, including Mcl-1, did not differ significantly among the ABT-263 sensitive and resistant cell lines. Unlike the results in previous reports regarding SCLC, Mcl-1 was not decreased in the sensitive cell lines. The ABT-263 resistant cell lines became sensitive to ABT-263 after knockdown of Mcl-1 by siRNA, while the ABT-263 sensitive cell lines maintained the same sensitivity.
Conclusion:
We found that Calu3 and BID007 were sensitive to ABT-263. In the sensitive NSCLC cell lines, ABT-263 induces apoptosis irrespective of Mcl-1 expression levels.

Abstract
PTPRH is a receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatase thought to be a potential regulator of tumorigenesis. The aim of the present study was to clarify the significance of PTPRH expression and its regulation by DNA methylation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). PTPRH mRNA expression was examined in 89 NSCLC and corresponding non-cancerous tissues. The correlation between DNA methylation and PTPRH gene expression was investigated in another cohort that consisted of 145 patients with LADC, a major NSCLC subtype. Gene regulation by DNA methylation was assessed using a DNA methylation inhibitor. PTPRH mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in NSCLC. PTPRH DNA methylation was reduced in LADC samples and inversely correlated with mRNA expression. 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine treatment of lung cancer cell lines with low PTPRH expression, restored mRNA PTPRH expression levels. Furthermore, low PTPRH methylation was associated with shorter recurrence-free survival (P=1.64x10(-4)) and overall survival (P=5.54x10(-5)). Multivariate analysis revealed that PTPRH DNA methylation was an independent prognostic factor (P=6.88x10(-3)). It was confirmed that PTPRH is overexpressed in NSCLC. Furthermore, we determined that PTPRH is epigenetically regulated by DNA hypomethylation, with prognostic implications for LADC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The number of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is increasing. Although several studies have suggested the benefit of chemotherapy with a platinum doublet for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC, this treatment is still controversial in this age group. To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of combination chemotherapy with biweekly paclitaxel and carboplatin for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC, we conducted a multicenter, non-randomized, open label, phase II trial. METHODS We recruited patients aged ≥70 years with clinical stage IIIB and IV NSCLC and ECOG performance status (PS) of 0-2. Patients received paclitaxel (90 mg/m(2)) and carboplatin (AUC = 2.5) on day 1 and 15, every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS Sixty-five patients (median age 79 years; range 70-87 years) were enrolled. Forty-nine patients were men, and 48 were stage IV. The PS was 0, 1, and 2 in 28, 33, and 4 patients, respectively. The histological type of NSCLC was non-squamous in 69.3 % and squamous cell carcinoma in 30.7 % of patients. The median number of treatment cycles was 3 (range 1-6). The response rate was 29.4 % (95 % CI 18.7-43.0), and the disease control rate was 78.0 % (95 % CI 64.8-87.2). Median PFS and OS were 3.8 months (95 % CI 1.9-5.3) and 17.3 months (95 % CI 10.4-25.1), respectively. The most common grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (27 %), leukopenia (15 %), infection (10 %), and anemia (8 %). CONCLUSION The combination of biweekly paclitaxel and carboplatin was effective and well tolerated in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
AIM Clinical microarray datasets were analyzed to search for new therapeutic targets and prognostic markers of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Microarray datasets from 90 lung cancer specimens, were analyzed with focus on the FOXD1 gene. Levels of FOXD1 mRNA were assessed in lung cancer cell lines and these levels were correlated with survival. RESULTS FOXD1-knockdown led to suppression of cell proliferation. Moreover, patients with high FOXD1 expression survived for a significantly shorter time than those with low FOXD1 expression. CONCLUSION The expression status of FOXD1 is a novel prognostic factor and may lead to new treatment strategies for NSCLC.

Abstract
We identified transmembrane protease, serine 4 (TMPRSS4) as a putative, druggable target by screening surgically resected samples from 90 Japanese non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients using cDNA microarray. TMPRSS4 has two druggable domains and was upregulated in 94.5% of the lung cancer specimens. Interestingly, we found that TMPRSS4 expression was associated with tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2) expression in these clinical samples. In contrast to TMPRSS4, TFPI-2 expression was downregulated in NSCLC samples. The in vitro induction of TFPI-2 in lung cancer cell lines decreased the expression of TMPRSS4mRNA levels. Reporter assay showed that TFPI-2 inhibited transcription of TMPRSS4, although partially. Knockdown of TMPRSS4 reduced the proliferation rate in several lung cancer cell lines. When lung cancer cell lines were treated with 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine or trichostatin A, their proliferation rate and TMPRSS4mRNA expression levels were also reduced through the upregulation of TFPI-2 by decreasing its methylation in vitro. The TFPI-2 methylation level in the low TMPRSS4 group appeared to be significantly low in NSCLC samples (P = 0.02). We found a novel molecular mechanism that TFPI-2 negatively regulates cell growth by inhibiting transcription of TMPRSS4. We suggest that TMPRSS4 is upregulated by silencing of TFPI-2 through aberrant DNA methylation and contributes to oncogenesis in NSCLC.

Abstract
This study was designed to identify epigenetically regulated genes and to clarify the contribution of epige-netic alteration to acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor‑tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‑TKIs). We established a gefitinib‑resistant lung cancer cell line, PC9, which was originally gefitinib‑sensitive, by serial long‑term exposure to gefitinib. RNA and DNA were collected from both gefitinib‑sensitive and ‑resistant PC9 cells, and comprehensive DNA methylation and mRNA expression analyses were performed using Infinium HumanMethylation27 Bead Arrays and Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K Array, respectively. DNA methylation was increased in 640 genes in gefitinib‑resistant cells compared to parental cells. Among them, we selected 29 candidate genes that presented a decrease in mRNA expression in resistant PC9. We further studied four of the selected genes (C10orf116, IGFBP3, KL, and S100P) and found that KL or S100P silencing by siRNA induced a decrease in gefitinib sensitivity compared to that in the negative control in PC9. In conclusion, KL and S100P could be potential targets to overcome resistance to EGFR‑TKIs.

Abstract
Cancer cells are surrounded by the extracellular fluid, matrix, and stroma cells. Little is known about how extracellular components such as growth factor ligands affect the biology of lung cancer cells. The objective of this study was to determine whether extracellular fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) can affect the biology of lung cancer cells and to understand how extracellular FGFs affect the biology of lung cancer cells, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Out of the 23 reported FGFs, we focused on FGF2, FGF9 and FGF10. We examined the effect of FGFs on proliferation, treatment sensitivity, and apoptosis of NSCLC (PC9) and SCLC (H69, H82 and H146) cells in vitro. To determine which FGF was the most clinically relevant, we also examined FGF2 and FGF9 concentrations in the serum of patients with lung cancer. We found that extracellular FGFs can affect proliferation, treatment sensitivity, and apoptosis of lung cancer cells in a cell-specific manner. Our results indicate that extracellular FGFs affect the biology of lung cancer cells through multiple functions.

Abstract
Many of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who initially responded well to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) will eventually relapse. The mechanisms of resistance to EGFR-TKIs is not yet fully clarified. The suppression of genes by DNA methylation is reported to be involved in the mechanism of tolerance to cytotoxic drugs. The purpose of this study is to identify epigenetically regulated genes and to clarify the contribution of epigenetic alteration to the acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. We established gefitinib-resistant PC-9, which was originally gefitinib-sensitive lung cancer cell line, by serial long term exposure to gefitinib. We collected RNA and DNA from both gefitinib-sensitive and -resistant PC-9 cells and performed comprehensive analysis for DNA methylation and mRNA expression using infinium array and cDNA microarray, respectively. We identified 640 genes those DNA methylations were increased in gefitinib-resistant cell line compared to parental cell line. Then, we selected 29 candidate genes those mRNA expression were decreased in resistant PC-9. We are currently underway to elucidate the specific function of each gene and updated data will be presented at the meeting.

Abstract
Abstract
MicroRNAs, the small and noncoding RNAs, regulate the translation of specific protein-coding genes. Accumulated evidence strongly suggests that microRNAs play important and complex roles in human cancers, including lung cancer. We previously reported that miR-375 expression was low in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and high in adenocarcinoma (AC) of lung cancer. The target gene of miR-375 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to identify a target of miR-375 and clarify the function of miR-375 in NSCLC. Candidate genes of miR-375 targets were determined using the prediction databases and also previous findings about the different gene expression between SCC and AC. We focused on claudin-1 (CLDN1), which has four putative target sites of miR-375 in its 3′-untranslated region (UTR). CLDN1 was reported to express high in SCC and low in AC opposite to miR-375. We evaluated miR-375 and CLDN1 expression levels by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blotting in 12 NSCLC cell lines. The effect of miR-375 overexpression upon the CLDN1 expression was evaluated in 5 NSCLC cell lines by transfecting miR-375 precursor. It showed that the expression of CLDN1 messenger RNA and protein were attenuated by miR-375 overexpression. Luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm direct interaction between miR-375 and CLDN1. We cloned 3′-UTR of CLDN1 cDNA into the downstream of a luciferase reporter gene and co-transfected this vector into A549 cells with miR-375 precursor. MiR-375 overexpression resulted in a 3-fold repression of luciferase activity (p < 0.001). To ascertain the clinical validity, we analyzed the relationship between miR-375 and CLDN1 expression in 63 clinical samples of NSCLC. There was a negative correlation between miR-375 and CLDN1 expression (r = -0.35, p = 0.005). In addition, we analyzed the correlation between miR-375 expression and overall survival in the same samples. High miR-375 expression correlated with poor survival in NSCLC (p = 0.043). To investigate the reason why high miR-375 expression lead to poor survival, wound healing assay was performed to evaluate the effect of miR-375 overexpression on the cell migration in SK-MES-1 cells. The cell migration was promoted by miR-375 overexpression, suggesting the high potential of invasion and metastasis in NSCLC expressing high level of miR375. In conclusion, we found that CLDN1 is a novel target of miR-375, and high miR-375 expression leads to poor survival in NSCLC.

Abstract
Abstract
Many of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with sensitive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutation who initially responded well to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) eventually relapse. In spite of many studies over the last few years to elucidate this mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs, approximately 30% of the mechanisms of acquired resistance are still unknown. Recently autocrine signaling of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) has been demonstrated in NSCLC cell lines. And several studies suggest that the FGF-FGFR autocrine growth pathway could be an important mechanism for intrinsic resistance to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC cell lines with wild-type EGFR. But until now, no report has clarified the role of FGF-FGFR pathway in acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC cell lines with sensitive EGFR mutations. We have established a gefitinib-resistant cell line (PC9 GR), by serial exposure of gefitinib to PC9, an originally gefitinib-sensitive lung cancer cell line (PC9 na). We confirmed that these cell lines did not harbor two well-known EGFR-TKI resistance mechanisms, the second mutation in the EGFR gene itself, EGFR T790 and the amplification of the MET oncogene. We collected total RNA from both PC9 na and PC9 GR and examined mRNA expression profile, by using cDNA microarray analysis. We found the expressions of FGFR1 and FGF2 were increased in PC9 GR compared to in PC9 na. The growth of PC9 GR cells was inhibited either by PD173074 (inhibitors of FGFRs) or knocking down of FGFR1 or FGF2 by siRNA in combination with gefitinib. FACS analysis revealed that the combination treatment with PD173074 and gefitinib induced apoptosis more efficiently in PC9 GR cells compared to gefitinib alone. PC9 na cells and PC9 GR cells did not show any change in the proportion of apoptotic cells after treatment with PD173074 alone. To further investigate how FGF2-FGFR1 pathway affects resistance to gefitinib in these cell lines, the downstream targets of EGFR signaling including the MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT pathways were examined. In PC9 na cells, the phosphorylation of EGFR, ERK, and AKT was efficiently inhibited by gefitinib alone. On the other hand, in PC9 GR cells, the phosphorylation of ERK and AKT was not efficiently inhibited by gefitinib alone. However, the inhibition of phosphorylation of ERK was completely and AKT was less efficiently rescued by gefitinib and PD173074 combination therapy. In conclusion, these data suggest the activation of FGF2-FGFR1 signaling pathway contributes to the gefitinib resistance in PC9 GR. FGF2-FGFR1 pathway will be a therapeutic target for a subset of NSCLC that acquires EGFR-TKI resistance.

Abstract
Abstract
Background. Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is a member of the FGF family, which modulates cell proliferation, differentiation and motility. Recent studies show that activation of FGF signals including FGF9 is associated with pathogenesis of several cancers. In lung cancer, some reports showed that FGF9 indirectly promoted the growth of lung adenocarcinoma and the intensity of FGF9 staining was positively correlated with the status of disease and the degree of lymph node metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. However, the direct effect of FGF9 on the development and growth of lung cancer has not been clear.
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of FGF9 in NSCLC.
Method. First, we have performed in vitro analysis to clarify the role of FGF9 in NSCLC. FGF9 was introduced by retroviral infection to make stable cell lines. The cell lines which express no or low FGF9 were selected for the study, namely A549, PC9 and H1975. Overexpression of FGF9 in these cells was confirmed at mRNA and protein levels. Tumorigenic potential was evaluated by soft agar colony formation assay. The effect on proliferation of NSCLC cells was evaluated by MTS proliferation assay.
Next, patients survival analysis was also performed to evaluate the effect of FGF9 on the prognosis of NSCLC patients. NSCLC specimens were obtained from 91 patients who underwent surgical resection at Department of Thoracic Surgery, Keio University Hospital from 2001 through 2006 with written informed consent. We have performed cDNA microarray gene expression analysis. Patient survival data was evaluated by genes expression profile.
Results. Of the cells studied, A549 with FGF9 overexpression (A549-FGF9) cells significantly increased the anchorage independent colony formation ability compared with A549-empty cells. The numbers of the colonies were significantly higher in A549-FGF9, and the size of the colonies was bigger compared with A549-empty. For patient study, we found 10 out of 91 (11.0%) NSCLC patients overexpressed FGF9. We found FGF9 overexpression was associated with significantly worse prognosis (p=0.001). While none of other FGFs and FGFRs was associated with the prognosis of the patients. Three-year survival rate of FGF9-high patient group and FGF9-low patient group were 40% and 88% respectively. The rate of relapse was significantly higher in FGF9-high patients compared with FGF9-low patients, 60% vs 36.2% (p=0.016).
Conclusion. Our in vitro and clinical data indicate that FGF-9 may promote tumorigenic potential, and can be a prognostic indicator in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that harbors epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations initially respond to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) but eventually experience relapse. Acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs is strongly associated with patient mortality. Thus, elucidation of the mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs is of great importance. In this study, gefitinib-resistant cell line models were established by long-term exposure to gefitinib using the gefitinib-sensitive lung cancer cell lines, PC9 and HCC827. Expression analyses indicated that both FGFR1 and FGF2 were increased in PC9 gefitinib-resistant (PC9 GR) cells as compared with PC9 naïve (PC9 na) cells. Importantly, proliferation of gefitinib-resistant cells was dependent on the FGF2 -FGFR1 pathway. Mechanistically, inhibition of either FGF2 or FGFR1 by siRNA or FGFR inhibitor (PD173074) restored gefitinib sensitivity in PC9 GR cells. These data suggest that FGF2 -FGFR1 activation through an autocrine loop is a novel mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs.

Abstract
e18058 Background: Both CPT-11 and S-1, which contains a prodrug of 5-FU, have moderate activity against NSCLC as a single agent and the combination of these agents have been reported to possess marked synergistic effects and tolerability in several gastrointestinal cancers. So the combination of CPT-11 and S-1 will be a promising alternative for the second line treatment of NSCLC patients. We have previously reported the phase I study of this combination and determined the recommended doses of these agents. This study was conducted as a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CPT-11 and S-1 for NSCLC patients who had previously treated. Methods: :This trial was open-label, multicenter study. NSCLC patients who had received one prior chemotherapy with performance status 0-1 were enrolled. Primary endopoint was response rate and secondary endpoints were progression free survival, overall survival, 1-year survival rate and adverse events. CPT-11 (60mg/m2 on days1, 8) and oral S-1 (80mg/m2/day on days1-14) was administered on every 21 days, maximally 6 cycles. Results: By October 2011, 31 patients were enrolled. Nineteen were adenocarcinoma and 12 were non-adenocarcinoma. The median age was 60 y/o (range 35-74) and the median number of treatment cycles was 4 (range 1-6). The objective response rates were PR 7.7%, SD 61.5% and PD 30.8%. Median PFS, median OS and 1-year survival rate were 2.8 month, 12.6 month and 55%, respectively. Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicities comprised neutropenia (15%), anemia (11%) and thrombocytopenia (3%). Other grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicities comprised pneumonitis (7%), diarrhea (3%), anorexia (3%), liver dysfunction (3%) and mucosal disability (3%). No treatment related death was observed. Conclusions: Combination of CPT-11 and oral S-1 was moderately effective with acceptable toxicities as a second line treatment for advanced NSCLC patients.
