    Abstract

    Background

    Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease with oncogenic potential that causes destruction of parietal cells and severe mucosal atrophy. We aimed to explore the distinctive gene expression profiles, activated signaling pathways, and their underlying mechanisms.

    Methods

    A comprehensive gene expression analysis was conducted using biopsy specimens from AIG, Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis (HPG), and non-inflammatory normal stomachs. Gastric cancer cell lines were cultured under acidic (pH 6.5) conditions to evaluate changes in gene expression.

    Results

    Gastric mucosa with AIG had a unique gene expression profile compared with that with HPG and normal mucosa, such as extensively low expression of ATP4A and high expression of GAST and PAPPA2, which are involved in neuroendocrine tumorigenesis. Additionally, the mucosa with AIG and HPG showed the downregulation of stomach-specific genes and upregulation of small intestine-specific genes; however, intestinal trans-differentiation was much more prominent in AIG samples, likely in a CDX-dependent manner. Furthermore, AIG induced ectopic expression of pancreatic digestion-related genes, PNLIP, CEL, CTRB1, and CTRC; and a master regulator gene of the lung, NKX2-1/TTF1 with alveolar fluid secretion-related genes, SFTPB and SFTPC. Mechanistically, acidic conditions led to the downregulation of master regulator and stemness control genes of small intestine, suggesting that increased environmental pH may cause abnormal intestinal differentiation in the stomach.

    Conclusions

    AIG induces diverse trans-differentiation in the gastric mucosa, characterized by the transactivation of genes specific to the small intestine, pancreas, and lung. Increased environmental pH owing to AIG may cause abnormal differentiation of the gastric mucosa.

    Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are important components in the tumor microenvironment, and we sought to identify effective therapeutic targets in CAFs for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we established fibroblast cell lines from the cancerous and non-cancerous parts of surgical lung specimens from patients with NSCLC and evaluated the differences in behaviors towards NSCLC cells. RNA sequencing analysis was performed to investigate the differentially expressed genes between normal fibroblasts (NFs) and CAFs, and we identified that the expression of periostin (POSTN), which is known to be overexpressed in various solid tumors and promote cancer progression, was significantly higher in CAFs than in NFs. POSTN increased cell proliferation via NSCLC cells' ERK pathway activation and induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which improved migration in vitro. In addition, POSTN knockdown in CAFs suppressed these effects, and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the POSTN knockdown improved the sensitivity of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells for osimertinib treatment. Collectively, our results showed that CAF-derived POSTN is involved in tumor growth, migration, EMT induction, and drug resistance in NSCLC. Targeting CAF-secreted POSTN could be a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC. KEY MESSAGES: • POSTN is significantly upregulated in CAFs compared to normal fibroblasts in NCSLC. • POSTN increases cell proliferation via activation of the NSCLC cells' ERK pathway. • POSTN induces EMT in NSCLC cells and improves the migration ability. • POSTN knockdown improves the sensitivity for osimertinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells.

    With the rapid expansion of genomic medicine, more citizens are compelled to think about genetics in their daily lives. This study aims to explore appropriate types of educational media and methods to enlighten activities for genetics and hereditary cancer. We presented an 18-min YouTube video on genetics and hereditary cancer to participants at a scientific event, Science Agora 2020, and administered a web questionnaire to investigate their opinions about when and how citizens should start learning about genetics and hereditary cancer. We recruited 133 participants who watched the video, and 26.3% (35/133) responded to the questionnaire. Most of them were evaluated to understand and appreciate the contents of the video. They identified websites, or videos as suitable learning media, irrespective of their sex, age, or profession. They highlighted upper elementary school or junior high school as appropriate educational stages to start learning about genetics and hereditary cancer to facilitate collecting their own genetic information by themselves. Our findings show that educational institutions should provide opportunities to learn about genetics and hereditary cancers, especially for upper elementary school and junior high school students, using learning media, such as videos, depending on their level or demand.

    The distribution and clinical impact of cell-of-origin (COO) subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) outside Western countries remain unknown. Recent literature also suggests that there is an additional COO subtype associated with the germinal center dark zone, that warrants wider validation to generalize clinical relevance. Here, we assembled a cohort of Japanese patients with untreated DLBCL and determined the refined COO subtypes, that include the dark zone signature (DZsig), using the NanoString DLBCL90 assay. To compare the distribution and clinical characteristics of the molecular subtypes, we used a dataset from the cohort of BC Cancer (BCC) (n = 804). Of the 1050 patients where DLBCL90 assay was successfully performed in our cohort, 35%, 45%, and 6% of patients were identified to be germinal center B-cell-like (GCB)-DLBCL, activated B-cell-like (ABC)-DLBCL, and DZsigpos-DLBCL, respectively, with the highest prevalence of ABC-DLBCL differing significantly from that of BCC (P < 0.001). GCB-DLBCL, ABC-DLBCL, and DZsigpos-DLBCL were associated with two-year overall survival rates of 88%, 75%, and 66%, respectively (P < 0.0001), with patients of the DZsigpos-DLBCL having the poorest prognosis. In contrast, GCB-DLBCL without DZsig showed excellent outcomes following rituximab-containing immunochemotherapy. DZsigpos-DLBCL was associated with the significant enrichment of tumors with CD10 expression, concurrent MYC/BCL2 expression, and depletion of microenvironmental components (all P < 0.05). These results provide evidence of the distinct distribution of clinically relevant molecular subtypes in Japanese DLBCL and that refined COO, as measured by the DLBCL90 assay, is a robust prognostic biomarker that is consistent across geographical areas.

    INTRODUCTION: The PACIFIC regimen of consolidation therapy with the programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor durvalumab after definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy has become a standard of care for individuals with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, about half of treated patients experience disease progression within 1 year, with the mechanisms of treatment resistance being poorly understood. We here performed a nationwide prospective biomarker study to explore the resistance mechanisms (WJOG11518L/SUBMARINE). METHODS: A total of 135 patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC who received the PACIFIC regimen were included for comprehensive profiling of the tumor microenvironment by immunohistochemistry, transcriptome analysis, and genomic sequencing of pretreatment tumor tissue as well as flow cytometric analysis of circulating immune cells. Progression-free survival (PFS) was compared based on these biomarkers. RESULTS: The importance of preexisting effective adaptive immunity in tumors were revealed for treatment benefit regardless of genomic features. We also identified CD73-expression by cancer cells as a mechanism of resistance to the PACIFIC regimen. Multivariable analysis of immunohistochemistry data with key clinical factors as covariables indicated that low CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) density and the high CD73+ cancer cells were independently associated with poor durvalumab outcome (HRs, 4.05 [95% CI, 1.17-14.04] for CD8+ TILs; 4.79 [95% CI, 1.12-20.58] for CD73). In addition, whole-exome sequencing of paired tumor samples suggested that cancer cells eventually escaped immune pressure as a result of neoantigen plasticity. CONCLUSIONS: Our study emphasizes the importance of functional adaptive immunity in stage III NSCLC, and implicates CD73 as a promising treatment target, thus providing insight forming a basis for development of a new treatment approach in NSCLC.

    Renal dysfunction is a long-term complication associated with an increased mortality after lung transplantation (LT). We investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the development of renal dysfunction after LT using a Japanese-specific SNP array. First, eligible samples of 34 LT recipients were genotyped using the SNP array and divided into two groups, according to the presence of homozygous and heterozygous combinations of mutant alleles of the 162 renal-related SNPs. To identify candidate SNPs, the renal function tests were compared between the two groups for each SNP. Next, we investigated the association between the candidate SNPs and the time course of changes of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the 99 recipients until 10 years after the LT. ΔeGFR was defined as the difference between the postoperative and preoperative eGFR values. Eight SNPs were identified as the candidate SNPs in the 34 recipients. Validation analysis of these 8 candidate SNPs in all the 99 recipients showed that three SNPs, namely, rs10277115, rs4690095, and rs792064, were associated with significant changes of the ΔeGFR. Pre-transplant identification of high-risk patients for the development of renal dysfunction after LT based on the presence of these SNPs might contribute to providing personalized medicine.

    In the current World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors, comprehensive genetic and epigenetic analyses are considered essential for precise diagnosis. A 14-year-old male patient who presented with a cerebellar tumor was initially diagnosed with glioblastoma and treated with radiation and concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy after resection. During maintenance temozolomide therapy, a new contrast-enhanced lesion developed in the bottom of the cavity formed by the resection. A second surgery was performed, but the histological findings in specimens from the second surgery were different from those of the first surgery. Although genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was conducted using frozen tissue for a precise diagnosis, the proportion of tumor cells was insufficient and only normal cerebellum was observed. We then performed comprehensive genetic analysis using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, which revealed MYCN amplification without alteration of IDH1, IDH2, or Histone H3. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with pediatric-type diffuse high-grade glioma, H3-wildtype and IDH-wildtype. In conclusion, comprehensive genetic and epigenetic analysis should be considered in pediatric brain tumor cases.

    BACKGROUND: Gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland type (GA-FG) is a gastric malignancy with little relation to Helicobacter pylori. Clinical characteristics of GA-FG have been established, but molecular mechanisms leading to tumorigenesis have not yet been elucidated. METHODS: We subjected three GA-FG tumors-normal mucosa pairs to microarray analysis. Network analysis was performed for the top 30 up-regulated gene transcripts, followed by immunohistochemical staining to confirm the gene expression analysis results. AGS and NUGC4 cells were transfected with the gene-encoding NK2 homeobox 1/thyroid transcription factor 1 (NKX2-1/TTF-1) to evaluate transcriptional changes in its target genes. RESULTS: Comprehensive gene expression analysis identified 1410 up-regulated and 1395 down-regulated gene probes with ≥ two-fold difference in expression. Among the top 30 up-regulated genes in GA-FG, we identified transcription factor NKX2-1/TTF-1, a master regulator of lung/thyroid differentiation, together with surfactant protein B (SFTPB), SFTPC, and secretoglobin family 3A member 2(SCGB3A2), which are regulated by NKX2-1/TTF-1. Immunohistochemical analysis of 16 GA-FG specimens demonstrated significantly higher NKX2-1/TTF-1 and SFTPB levels, as compared to that in adjacent normal mucosa (P < 0.05), while SCGB3A2 levels did not differ (P = 0.341). Transduction of NKX2-1/TTF-1 into AGS and NUGC4 cells induced transactivation of SFTPB and SFTPC, indicating that NKX2-1/TTF-1 can function as normally in gastric cells as it can in the lung cells. CONCLUSIONS: Our first transcriptome analysis of GA-FG indicates significant expression of NKX2-1/TTF1 in GA-FG. Immunohistochemistry and cell biology show ectopic expression and normal transactivation ability of NKX2-1/TTF-1, suggesting that it plays an essential role in GA-FG development.

    BACKGROUND: The vaginal microbiota can be altered by uropathogenic bacteria associated with recurrent cystitis (RC), and the vaginal administration of Lactobacillus have suggested certain effects to prevent RC. The relationship between vaginal microbiota and the development of RC has not been elucidated. We aimed to clarify the etiology of RC from vaginal microbiota and importance of vaginal Lactobacillus. METHODS: Vaginal samples obtained from 39 postmenopausal women were classified into four groups: healthy controls; uncomplicated cystitis; RC; and prevention (prevented RC by Lactobacillus crispatus-containing vaginal suppositories). Principal coordinate analysis and beta-diversity analysis was used to assess 16S rRNA gene sequencing data from the vaginal microbiome. RESULTS: Cluster analysis divided the vaginal bacterial communities among 129 vaginal samples into three clusters (A, B, and C). Fourteen of 14 (100%) samples from the RC group and 51 of 53 (96%) samples from the prevention group were in clusters B and C, while 29 of 38 (76%) samples from the healthy group and 14 of 24 (58%) samples from the uncomplicated cystitis group were in cluster A. The principal coordinate analysis showed that plots in the uncomplicated cystitis group were similar to the healthy group, indicating a large separation between the RC group and the uncomplicated cystitis group. On beta-diversity analysis, there were significant differences between the healthy group and the uncomplicated cystitis group (p = 0.045), and between the RC group and the uncomplicated cystitis group or the healthy group (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). There were no significant differences between the RC group and the prevention group (p = 0.446). The top six taxa were as follows: Prevotella, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, Anaerococcus, and Bifidobacterium. Among patients with RC, Lactobacillus was undetectable before administration of suppositories, while the median relative abundance of Lactobacillus was 19% during administration of suppositories (p = 0.0211), reducing the average cystitis episodes per year (6.3 vs. 2.4, p = 0.0015). CONCLUSION: The vaginal microbiota of postmenopausal women with RC is differed from healthy controls and uncomplicated cystitis in terms of lack of Lactobacillus and relatively dominant of Enterobacteriaceae. Vaginal administration of Lactobacillus-containing suppositories can prevent RC by stabilizing vaginal dysbiosis and causing a loss of pathogenic bacteria virulence.

    The pathological mechanism responsible for EGFR inhibitor (EGFRI)-induced skin rash remains unclear. Recent studies reveal associations between skin dysbiosis and skin inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to examine whether skin dysbiosis is associated with EGFRI-induced skin rash. Bacterial swabs were taken from the forehead of 17 cancer patients at baseline and at several time points after EGFRIs initiation, as well as from 20 healthy controls. The skin microbiome was analysed using 16S rRNA sequencing. The severity of the skin rash was assessed using the rash grade. Skin surface parameters (pH, water capacitance, and sebum level) were also measured. Compared with baseline, the abundance of Cutibacterium acnes decreased in 13 of 15 cases, and that of Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium spp., Staphylococcus epidermidis or Proteobacteria increased in 13 of 15 cases after EGFRIs initiation. Skin pH increased significantly in parallel with a decrease in water capacitance after EGFRI initiation. Also, the composition of the skin microbiome of patients with severe rash was significantly different from that of healthy controls. In addition, the skin dysbiosis did not return to baseline during EGFRIs treatment for >1 year. These longitudinal observations indicate that skin dysbiosis is associated with development of skin rash.

    Patients found to have presumed germline pathogenic variants (PGPVs) during comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) require genetic counseling (GC) referrals. We retrospectively investigated the outcomes of patients with PGPVs. Among 159 patients who underwent CGP, we recommended GC for the 16 patients with PGPVs (3 with [FG group] and 13 without [G Group] a family/personal history of hereditary cancer) as well as for the 8 patients with no PGPVs, but a history (F group); 2 (67%), 5 (38%), and 3 (38%) patients received GC in the FG, G, and F groups, respectively. Germline testing results were positive in 1 and 2 patients of the FG and G groups, respectively. Among the patients recommended for GC, 58% did not receive GC due to lack of interest, poor performance status, or death. CGP contributes to the identification of germline variants in patients without a history of hereditary cancer. However, the proportion of patients who undergo GC should be improved.

    The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular background of sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) endoscopically resected with comprehensive gene expression analysis. Gene expression profiling was performed for 10 tumor-normal pairs of SSA/P. Cluster analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and consensus molecular subtype (CMS) classification of colorectal cancer (CRC) were applied to our transcriptome analysis. Unsupervised cluster analysis showed that the gene expression profile of SSA/Ps is different from that of adjacent normal epithelial cells, even in the very early stage of tumorigenesis. According to the CMS classification, our microarray data indicated that SSA/Ps were classified as CMS1. GSEA demonstrated a strong association between SSA/P and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) CRC (p < 10−5). Transcriptome analysis of five MSI-related genes (MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS1, and PMS2) and five CRC-related genes (BRAF, KRAS, APC, TP53, and CDX2) showed that CDX2 expression was most severely decreased in SSA/P. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed that CDX2 protein was reduced compared with the surrounding mucosa. Direct sequencing of the BRAF gene showed that the BRAF V600E mutation was detected in only nine of 36 cases. In a mouse model, BRAF, APC, or CDX2 deficiency indicated that the gene expression pattern with loss of CDX2 is more similar to our SSA/Ps compared with those induced by BRAF or APC mutation. Transcriptome analysis of SSA/Ps showed characteristic gene expression with a strong resemblance to MSI-H CRC. Downregulation of CDX2 expression is an essential molecular mechanism involved in the initial stage of SSA/P tumorigenesis.

    Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) has been used to assess the intra-tumor heterogeneity and microenvironment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, previous knowledge is not fully universalized. Here, we built a single cell atlas of PDAC from six datasets containing over 70 samples and >130,000 cells, and demonstrated its application to the reanalysis of the previous bulk transcriptomic cohorts and inferring cell–cell communications. The cell decomposition of bulk transcriptomics using scRNAseq data showed the cellular heterogeneity of PDAC; moreover, high levels of tumor cells and fibroblasts were indicative of poor-prognosis. Refined tumor subtypes signature indicated the tumor cell dynamics in intra-tumor and their specific regulatory network. We further identified functionally distinct tumor clusters that had close interaction with fibroblast subtypes via different signaling pathways dependent on subtypes. Our analysis provided a reference dataset for PDAC and showed its utility in research on the microenvironment of intra-tumor heterogeneity.

    Introduction: Despite a considerable benefit of adding immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC), a durable response to ICIs occurs in only a small minority of such patients. Methods: A total of 135 patients with ES-SCLC treated with chemotherapy either alone (chemo-cohort, n = 71) or together with an ICI (ICI combo-cohort, n = 64) was included in this retrospective study. Tumors were classified pathologically as inflamed or noninflamed on the basis of programmed death-ligand 1 expression and CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte density. Immune-related gene expression profiling was performed, and predicted neoantigen load was determined by whole-exome sequencing. Results: Among patients in the ICI combo-cohort, median progression-free survival was 10.8 and 5.1 months for those with inflamed (n = 7) or noninflamed (n = 56) tumors, respectively (log-rank test p = 0.002; hazard ratio of 0.26). Among the 89 patients with immune-related gene expression profiling data available, inflamed tumors had a higher T cell-inflamed GEP score than did noninflamed tumors (-0.18 versus -0.58, p < 0.001). The 12-month progression-free survival rate was 16.1% and 0% for patients in the ICI combo-cohort harboring tumors with a high (n = 26) or low (n = 18) frameshift neoantigen load, respectively. A high-frameshift neoantigen load was associated with up-regulation of gene signatures related to antigen presentation and costimulatory signaling. A durable clinical benefit of ICI therapy was observed only in patients with inflamed tumors and a high-frameshift neoantigen load. Conclusions: Expression of programmed death-ligand 1, CD8+ T cell infiltration, and a high-frameshift neoantigen load are associated with clinical benefit of ICI therapy in ES-SCLC. Clinical trial registration: UMIN000041056.

    Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major component of the tumor microenvironment that mediate resistance of cancer cells to anticancer drugs. Tranilast is an antiallergic drug that suppresses the release of cytokines from various inflammatory cells. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of tranilast on the interactions between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and the CAFs in the tumor microenvironment. Three EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines, two KRAS-mutant cell lines and three CAFs derived from NSCLC patients were used. To mimic the tumor microenvironment, the NSCLC cells were co-cultured with the CAFs in vitro, and the molecular profiles and sensitivity to molecular targeted therapy were assessed. Crosstalk between NSCLC cells and CAFs induced multiple biological effects on the NSCLC cells both in vivo and in vitro, including activation of the STAT3 signaling pathway, promotion of xenograft tumor growth, induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and acquisition of resistance to molecular-targeted therapy, including of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells to osimertinib and of KRAS-mutant NSCLC cells to selumetinib. Treatment with tranilast led to inhibition of IL-6 secretion from the CAFs, which, in turn, resulted in inhibition of CAF-induced phospho-STAT3 upregulation. Tranilast also inhibited CAF-induced EMT in the NSCLC cells. Finally, combined administration of tranilast with molecular-targeted therapy reversed the CAF-mediated resistance of the NSCLC cells to the molecular-targeted drugs, both in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that combined administration of tranilast with molecular-targeted therapy is a possible new treatment strategy to overcome drug resistance caused by cancer- CAF interaction.

    Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the most frequently mutated driver oncogene in non-smoking-related, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR-mutant NSCLC has a non-inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME), with low infiltration by CD8+ T cells and, thus, immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-programmed cell death-1 (anti-PD-1) have weak anti-tumor effects. Here, we showed that CD8+ T-cell responses were induced by an EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in syngeneic Egfr-mutant NSCLC tumors, which was further pronounced by sequential dual blockade of PD-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). However, simultaneous triple blockade had no such effect. PD-1/VEGFR2 dual blockade did not exert tumor-inhibitory effects without pre-treatment with the EGFR-TKI, suggesting that treatment schedule is crucial for efficacy of the dual blockade therapy. Pre-treatment with EGFR-TKI increased the CD8+ T-cell/regulatory T-cell (Treg) ratio, while also increasing expression of immunosuppressive chemokines and chemokine receptors, as well as increasing the number of M2-like macrophages, in the TME. Discontinuing EGFR-TKI treatment reversed the transient increase of immunosuppressive factors in the TME. The subsequent PD-1/VEGFR2 inhibition maintained increased numbers of infiltrating CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ dendritic cells. Depletion of CD8+ T cells in vivo abolished tumor growth inhibition by EGFR-TKI alone and the sequential triple therapy, suggesting that EGFR inhibition is a prerequisite for the induction of CD8+ T-cell responses. Our findings could aid in developing an alternative immunotherapy strategy in patients with cancers that have driver mutations and a non-inflamed TME.

    One-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) is a rapid intraoperative molecular detection technique for sentinel node assessment via the quantitative measurement of target cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA to determine the presence of metastasis. It has been validated in breast cancer but its application in lung cancer has not been adequately investigated. 214 LNs from 105 patients with 100 primary lung cancers, 2 occult primary lung tumors, and 3 metastatic lung tumors, who underwent surgical lung resection with LN dissection between February 2018 and January 2020, were assessed. Resected LNs were divided into two parts: one was snap-frozen for OSNA and the other underwent rapidly frozen histological examination. Intraoperatively collected LNs were evaluated by OSNA using loop-mediated isothermal amplification and compared with intraoperative pathological diagnosis as a control. Among 214 LNs, 14 were detected as positive by OSNA, and 11 were positive by both OSNA and intraoperative pathological diagnosis. The sensitivity and specificity of OSNA was 84.6% and 98.5%, respectively. The results of 5 of 214 LNs were discordant, and the remainder all matched (11 positive and 198 negative) with a concordance rate of 97.7%. Although the analysis of public mRNA expression data from cBioPortal showed that CK19 expression varies greatly depending on the cancer type and histological subtype, the results of the five cases, except for primary lung cancer, were consistent. OSNA provides sufficient diagnostic accuracy and speed and can be applied to the intraoperative diagnosis of LN metastasis for non-small cell lung cancer.

    BACKGROUND: Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a chronic inflammatory condition in gastric mucosa and is associated with increased cancer risk, though not as high as that by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastritis (HPG). Although aberrant DNA methylation is induced by HPG and the level correlates with the risk of gastric cancer, DNA methylation induction by AIG is unknown. METHODS: Gastric mucosa samples from the corpus were collected from 12 people with AIG without H. pylori infection, 10 people with HPG, and eight healthy volunteers. Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis was conducted using Infinium Methylation EPIC array. Gene expression was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS: The AIG samples had extensive aberrant DNA methylation but presented unique methylation profiles against the HPG samples after correction of leucocyte fractions. Comparison between the AIG and HPG samples showed that AIG induced methylation, but less than HPG, in overall CpG sites and also in promoter CpG islands. Promoter CpG islands of tumor-suppressor genes in the pathway of cell cycle, cell adhesion, p53, and WNT were highly methylated in the AIG samples, but more so in the HPG samples. The expression levels of IL1B and IL8, secreted by macrophage, were significantly lower in the AIG samples than in the HPG samples, suggesting that a difference in inflammatory response affected the degree and patterns of aberrant DNA methylation. CONCLUSIONS: AIG induced aberrant DNA methylation in gastric mucosa. However, the degree of DNA methylation was less than that by HPG, which reflected carcinogenic risk.

    BACKGROUND: Tyrosine kinase activation plays an important role in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we analyzed the expression of 612 kinase-coding and cancer-related genes using next-generation sequencing to identify potential therapeutic targets for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). METHODS: Thirteen samples from five patients with IPF (Cases 1-5) and eight samples from four patients without IPF (control) were included in this study. Six of the thirteen samples were obtained from different lung segments of a single patient who underwent bilateral pneumonectomy. Gene expression analysis of IPF lung tissue samples (n = 13) and control samples (n = 8) was performed using SureSelect RNA Human Kinome Kit. The expression of the selected genes was further confirmed at the protein level by immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS: Gene expression analysis revealed a correlation between the gene expression signatures and the degree of fibrosis, as assessed by Ashcroft score. In addition, the expression analysis indicated a stronger heterogeneity among the IPF lung samples than among the control lung samples. In the integrated analysis of the 21 samples, DCLK1 and STK33 were found to be upregulated in IPF lung samples compared to control lung samples. However, the top most upregulated genes were distinct in individual cases. DCLK1, PDK4, and ERBB4 were upregulated in IPF case 1, whereas STK33, PIM2, and SYK were upregulated in IPF case 2. IHC revealed that these proteins were expressed in the epithelial layer of the fibrotic lesions. CONCLUSIONS: We performed a comprehensive kinase expression analysis to explore the potential therapeutic targets for IPF. We found that DCLK1 and STK33 may serve as potential candidate targets for molecular targeted therapy of IPF. In addition, PDK4, ERBB4, PIM2, and SYK might also serve as personalized therapeutic targets of IPF. Additional large-scale studies are warranted to develop personalized therapies for patients with IPF.

    Accumulating evidence has shown that cancer stroma and bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play vital roles in tumor progression. However, the mechanism by which oral cancer stroma recruits any particular subset of BMDCs remains largely unknown. Here we sought to identify the subset of BMDCs that is recruited by cancer stroma. We established a sequential transplantation model in BALB/c nude mice, including (i) bone marrow transplantation of GFP-expressing cells and (ii) co-xenografting of patient-derived stroma (two cases, designated PDS1 and PDS2) with oral cancer cells (HSC-2). As controls, xenografting was performed with HSC-2 alone or in combination with normal human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). PDS1, PDS2, and HDF all promoted BMDCs migration in vitro and recruitment in vivo. Multicolor immunofluorescence revealed that the PDS co-xenografts recruited Arginase-1/CD11b/GR1/GFP quadruple-positive cells, which are myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), to the TME, whereas the HDF co-xenograft did not. Screening using microarrays revealed that PDS1 and PDS2 expressed CCL2 mRNA (encoding C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) at higher levels than did HDF. Indeed, PDS xenografts contained significantly higher proportions of CCL2-positive stromal cells and CCR2/Arginase-1/CD11b/GR1 quadruple-positive MDSCs (as receiver cells) than the HDF co-xenograft. Consistently, a CCL2 synthesis inhibitor and a CCR2 antagonist significantly inhibited the PDS-driven migration of BM cells in vitro. Furthermore, intraperitoneal injection of the CCR2 antagonist to the PDS xenograft models significantly reduced the CCR2/Arginase-1/CD11b/GR1 quadruple-positive MDSCs infiltration to the TME. In conclusion, oral cancer stroma-secreted CCL2 is a key signal for recruiting CCR2-positive MDSCs from bone marrow to the TME.

    Ceramide synthase 6 (CERS6) promotes lung cancer metastasis by stimulating cancer cell migration. To examine the underlying mechanisms, we performed luciferase analysis of the CERS6 promoter region and identified the Y-box as a cis-acting element. As a parallel analysis of database records for 149 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cancer patients, we screened for trans-acting factors with an expression level showing a correlation with CERS6 expression. Among the candidates noted, silencing of either CCAAT enhancer-binding protein γ (CEBPγ) or Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) reduced the CERS6 expression level. Following knockdown, CEBPγ and YBX1 were found to be independently associated with reductions in ceramide-dependent lamellipodia formation as well as migration activity, while only CEBPγ may have induced CERS6 expression through specific binding to the Y-box. The mRNA expression levels of CERS6, CEBPγ, and YBX1 were positively correlated with adenocarcinoma invasiveness. YBX1 expression was observed in all 20 examined clinical lung cancer specimens, while 6 of those showed a staining pattern similar to that of CERS6. The present findings suggest promotion of lung cancer migration by possible involvement of the transcription factors CEBPγ and YBX1.

    Posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has become a popular option for haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, personalized methods to adjust immune intensity after PTCy for each patient's condition have not been well studied. Here, we investigated the effects of reducing the dose of PTCy followed by α-galactosylceramide (α-GC), a ligand of iNKT cells, on the reciprocal balance between graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. In a murine haploidentical HSCT model, insufficient GVHD prevention after reduced-dose PTCy was efficiently compensated for by multiple administrations of α-GC. The ligand treatment maintained the enhanced GVL effect after reduced-dose PTCy. Phenotypic analyses revealed that donor-derived B cells presented the ligand and induced preferential skewing to the NKT2 phenotype rather than the NKT1 phenotype, which was followed by the early recovery of all T cell subsets, especially CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. These studies indicate that α-GC administration soon after reduced-dose PTCy restores GVHD-preventing activity and maintains the GVL effect, which is enhanced by reducing the dose of PTCy. Our results provide important information for the development of a novel strategy to optimize PTCy-based transplantation, particularly in patients with a potential relapse risk.

    Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common types among lung cancers generally arising from terminal airway and understanding of multistep carcinogenesis is crucial to develop novel therapeutic strategy for LUAD. Here we used human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to establish iHER2-hiPSCs in which doxycycline induced the expression of the oncoprotein human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/ERBB2. Lung progenitors that differentiated from iHER2-hiPSCs, which expressed NKX2-1/TTF-1 known as a lung lineage maker, were cocultured with human fetal fibroblast and formed human lung organoids (HLOs) comprising alveolar type 2-like cells. HLOs that overexpressed HER2 transformed to tumor-like structures similar to atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, which is known for lung precancerous lesion and upregulated the activities of oncogenic signaling cascades such as RAS/RAF/MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR. The degree of morphological irregularity and proliferation capacity were significantly higher in HLOs from iHER2-hiPSCs. Moreover, the transcriptome profile of the HLOs shifted from a normal lung tissue-like state to one characteristic of clinical LUAD with HER2 amplification. Our results suggest that hiPSC-derived HLOs may serve as a model to recapitulate the early tumorigenesis of LUAD and would provide new insights into the molecular basis of tumor initiation and progression.

    Recently, two cancer genomic profiling tests have been approved in Japan and implemented in routine clinical practice: the FDA-approved FoundationOne CDx test, and the OncoGuide NCC Oncopanel test. The quality and quantity of DNA significantly affects the sequencing results; therefore, preparing a sufficient amount of high-quality DNA for clinical cancer genomic profiling tests is important. We examined the best practices for the extraction of cancer genomic DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues of pancreatic, lung and colon cancer specimens. We found that the quality of cancer genomic DNA extracted from 10-μm-thick FFPE samples improved significantly, compared with that from 4-μm-thick FFPE samples, suggesting that 10-μm-thick FFPE samples are preferable for clinical cancer genomic profiling tests. For convenience, we created a quick reference table for calculating the required number of FFPE slides.

    In patients with interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis is an irreversible condition that can cause respiratory failure. Novel treatments for pulmonary fibrosis are necessary. Inflammation is thought to activate lung fibroblasts, resulting in pulmonary fibrosis. Of the known inflammatory molecules, we have focused on S100A8/A9 from the onset of inflammation to the subsequent progression of inflammation. Our findings confirmed the high expression of S100A8/A9 in specimens from patients with pulmonary fibrosis. An active role of S100A8/A9 was demonstrated not only in the proliferation of fibroblasts but also in the fibroblasts' differentiation to myofibroblasts (the active form of fibroblasts). S100A8/A9 also forced fibroblasts to upregulate the production of collagen. These effects were induced via the receptor of S100A8/A9, i.e., the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), on fibroblasts. The anti-S100A8/A9 neutralizing antibody inhibited the effects of S100A8/A9 on fibroblasts and suppressed the progression of fibrosis in bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis mouse model. Our findings strongly suggest a crucial role of S100A8/A9 in pulmonary fibrosis and the usefulness of S100A8/A9-targeting therapy for fibrosis interstitial pneumonia. HIGHLIGHTS: S100A8/A9 level is highly upregulated in the IPF patients' lungs as well as the blood. S100A8/A9 promotes not only the growth of fibroblasts but also differentiation to myofibroblasts. The cell surface RAGE acts as a crucial receptor to the extracellular S100A8/A9 in fibroblasts. The anti-S100A8/A9 antibody effectively suppresses the progression of IPF in a mouse model. In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), S100A8/A9, a heterodimer composed of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins, plays a crucial role in the onset of inflammation and the subsequent formation of a feed-forward inflammatory loop that promotes fibrosis. (1) The local, pronounced increase in S100A8/A9 in the injured inflammatory lung region-which is provided mainly by the activated neutrophils and macrophages-exerts strong inflammatory signals accompanied by dozens of inflammatory soluble factors including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors that further act to produce and secrete S100A8/A9, eventually making a sustainable inflammatory circuit that supplies an indefinite presence of S100A8/A9 in the extracellular space with a mal-increased level. (2) The elevated S100A8/A9 compels fibroblasts to activate through receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), one of the major S100A8/A9 receptors, resulting in the activation of NFκB, leading to fibroblast mal-events (e.g., elevated cell proliferation and transdifferentiation to myofibroblasts) that actively produce not only inflammatory cytokines but also collagen matrices. (3) Finally, the S100A8/A9-derived activation of lung fibroblasts under a chronic inflammation state leads to fibrosis events and constantly worsens fibrosis in the lung. Taken together, these findings suggest that the extracellular S100A8/A9 heterodimer protein is a novel mainstay soluble factor for IPF that exerts many functions as described above (1-3). Against this background, we herein applied the developed S100A8/A9 neutralizing antibody to prevent IPF. The IPF imitating lung fibrosis in an IPF mouse model was effectively blocked by treatment with the antibody, leading to enhanced survival. The developed S100A8/A9 antibody, as an innovative novel biologic, may help shed light on the difficulties encountered with IPF therapy in clinical settings.

    There is no conclusive evidence regarding a causal relationship between periodontitis and atherosclerosis. In this study, we examined the microbiome in the oral cavity and atheromatous plaques from atherosclerosis patients with or without periodontitis to investigate the role of oral bacteria in the formation of atheromatous plaques. We chose four patients with and without periodontitis, who had undergone carotid endarterectomy. Bacterial samples were extracted from the tongue surface, from periodontal pocket (during the oral examination), and from the atheromatous plaques (APs). We investigated the general and oral conditions from each patient and performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis for all bacterial samples. There were no significant differences between both groups concerning general conditions. However, the microbiome patterns of the gingival pocket showed differences depending on the absence or presence of periodontitis, while those of the tongue surface were relatively similar. The microbiome pattern of the atheromatous plaques was entirely different from that on the tongue surface and gingival pocket, and oral bacteria were seldom detected. However, the microbiome pattern in atheromatous plaques was different in the presence or absence of periodontitis. These results suggested that oral bacteria did not affect the formation of atheromatous plaques directly.

    Importance: Although profiling of gene expression and gene alterations by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to predict the primary tumor site and guide molecularly targeted therapy might be expected to improve clinical outcomes for cancer of unknown primary site (CUP), to our knowledge, no clinical trial has previously evaluated this approach. Objective: To assess the clinical use of site-specific treatment, including molecularly targeted therapy based on NGS results, for patients with CUP. Design, Setting, and Participants: This phase 2 clinical trial was conducted at 19 institutions in Japan and enrolled 111 previously untreated patients with the unfavorable subset of CUP between March 2015 and January 2018, with 97 patients being included in the efficacy analysis. Eligibility criteria included a diagnosis of unfavorable CUP after mandatory examinations, including pathological evaluation by immunohistochemistry, chest-abdomen-pelvis computed tomography scans, and a positron emission tomography scan. Interventions: RNA and DNA sequencing for selected genes was performed simultaneously to evaluate gene expression and gene alterations, respectively. A newly established algorithm was applied to predict tumor origin based on these data. Patients received site-specific therapy, including molecularly targeted therapy, according to the predicted site and detected gene alterations. Main Outcomes And Measures: The primary end point was 1-year survival probability. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate, safety, efficacy according to predicted site, and frequency of gene alterations. Results: Of 97 participants, 49 (50.5%) were women and the median (range) age was 64 (21-81) years. The cancer types most commonly predicted were lung (21 [21%]), liver (15 [15%]), kidney (15 [15%]), and colorectal (12 [12%]) cancer. The most frequent gene alterations were in TP53 (45 [46.4%]), KRAS (19 [19.6%]), and CDKN2A (18 [18.6%]). The 1-year survival probability, median OS, and median PFS were 53.1% (95% CI, 42.6%-62.5%), 13.7 months (95% CI, 9.3-19.7 months), and 5.2 months (95% CI, 3.3-7.1 months), respectively. Targetable EGFR mutations in tumor specimens were detected in 5 patients with predicted non-small-cell lung cancer (5.2%), 4 of whom were treated with afatinib; 2 of these patients achieved a durable PFS of longer than 6 months. Conclusions and Relevance: This study's findings suggest that site-specific treatment, including molecularly targeted therapy based on profiling gene expression and gene alterations by NGS, can contribute to treating patients with the unfavorable subset of CUP.

    The detection of certain oncogenic driver mutations, including those of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is essential for determining treatment strategies for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The current study assessed the feasibility of testing exhaled breath condensate (EBC) for EGFR mutations by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). Samples were collected from 12 patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations that were admitted to Okayama University Hospital between June 1, 2014 and December 31, 2017. A total of 21 EBC samples were collected using the RTube™ method and EGFR mutations (L858R, exon 19 deletions or T790M) were assessed through ddPCR analysis (EBC-ddPCR). A total of 3 healthy volunteer samples were also tested to determine a threshold value for each mutation. Various patient characteristics were determined, including sex (3 males and 9 females), age (range 54-81 years; median, 66 years), smoking history (10 had never smoked; 2 were former smokers), histology (12 patients exhibited adenocarcinoma), clinical stage (9 patients were stage IV; 3 exhibited post-operative recurrence) and EGFR mutation type (4 had L858R; 8 had exon 19 deletions; 8 had T790M). EBC-ddPCR demonstrated positive droplets in 8 of the 12 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of each mutation was as follows: 27.3 and 80.0% for EGFR L858R, 30.0 and 90.9% for EGFR Ex19del, and 22.2 and 100% for EGFR T790M. EBC-ddPCR analysis of EGFR mutations exhibited modest sensitivity and acceptable specificity. EBC-ddPCR is a minimally invasive and replicable procedure and may be a complementary method for EGFR testing in patients where blood or tissue sampling proves difficult.

    Three-dimensional (3D) molecular descriptors, including physicochemical and shape properties, for protein-protein interaction (PPI) interface inhibitors have become a topic of discussion. However, the relationships between such properties and binding free energy have not been adequately investigated. In this study, we focused on identifying key 3D molecular descriptors related to the binding free energy and/or the ligand efficiency (LE) of PPI interface inhibitors. A positive correlation was found between the binding free energy and the diameter (D) of cylindrical 3D molecules, in addition to a correlation between LE and D/heavy atom count (HAC). In addition, we showed a correlation between LE and D/HAC for macrocyclic compounds, suggesting that the present findings could be applied during assessments of the potential of macrocyclic PPI interface inhibitors in drug discovery processes.

    Sphingolipids constitute a class of bio-reactive molecules that transmit signals and exhibit a variety of physical properties in various cell types, though their functions in cancer pathogenesis have yet to be elucidated. Analyses of gene expression profiles of clinical specimens and a panel of cell lines revealed that the ceramide synthase gene CERS6 was overexpressed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, while elevated expression was shown to be associated with poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis. NSCLC profile and in vitro luciferase analysis results suggested that CERS6 overexpression is promoted, at least in part, by reduced miR-101 expression. Under a reduced CERS6 expression condition, the ceramide profile became altered, which was determined to be associated with decreased cell migration and invasion activities in vitro. Furthermore, CERS6 knockdown suppressed RAC1-positive lamellipodia/ruffling formation and attenuated lung metastasis efficiency in mice, while forced expression of CERS6 resulted in an opposite phenotype in examined cell lines. Based on these findings, we consider that ceramide synthesis by CERS6 has important roles in lung cancer migration and metastasis.

    BACKGROUND: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key process in tumor progression and metastasis and is also associated with drug resistance. Thus, controlling EMT status is a research of interest to conquer the malignant tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A drug repositioning analysis of transcriptomic data from a public cell line database identified monensin, a widely used in veterinary medicine, as a candidate EMT inhibitor that suppresses the conversion of the EMT phenotype. Using TGF-β-induced EMT cell line models, the effects of monensin on the EMT status and EMT-mediated drug resistance were assessed. RESULTS: TGF-β treatment induced EMT in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines and the EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines with TGF-β-induced EMT acquired resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The addition of monensin effectively suppressed the TGF-β-induced-EMT conversion, and restored the growth inhibition and the induction of apoptosis by the EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor. CONCLUSION: Our data suggested that combined therapy with monensin might be a useful strategy for preventing EMT-mediated acquired drug resistance.

    BACKGROUND/AIM: The therapeutic strategy for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the BRAF non-V600E mutation has not been established. LY3009120, a newly discovered pan-RAF inhibitor, has shown strong antitumor effects in cancers with various BRAF genotypes. This study investigated the antitumor effects of LY3009120 in NSCLC cells harboring the BRAF non-V600E mutation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined the antitumor effects of LY3009120 by MTS assay and flow cytometry. We analyzed the expression status of proteins by western blot. The mouse xenograft models were used for the in vivo experiments. RESULTS: LY3009120 suppressed BRAF-related downstream pathway molecules and induced cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase in all examined NSCLC cell lines. LY3009120 also inhibited in vivo tumor growth in NSCLC cells harboring the BRAF non-V600E mutation. CONCLUSION: LY3009120 is a potent therapeutic agent for patients with BRAF non-V600E mutant NSCLC.

    Poor quality of biological samples will result in an inaccurate analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Therefore, methods to accurately evaluate sample integrity are needed. Among methods for evaluating RNA quality, the RNA integrity number equivalent (RINe) is widely used, whereas the DV200, which evaluates the percentage of fragments of >200 nucleotides, is also used as a quality assessment standard. In this study, we compared the RINe and DV200 RNA quality indexes to determine the most suitable RNA index for the NGS analysis. Seventy-one RNA samples were extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples (n = 30), fresh-frozen samples (n = 25), or cell lines (n = 16). After assessing RNA quality using the RINe and DV200, we prepared two kinds of stranded mRNA sequencing libraries. Finally, we calculated the correlation between each RNA quality index and the amount of library product (1st PCR product per input RNA). The DV200 measure showed stronger correlation with the amount of library product than the RINe (R 2 = 0.8208 for the DV200 versus 0.6927 for the RINe). Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses revealed that the DV200 was the better marker for predicting efficient library production than the RINe using a threshold of >10 ng/ng for the amount of the 1st PCR product per input RNA (cutoff value for the RINe and DV200, 2.3 and 66.1%; area under the curve, 0.99 and 0.91; sensitivity, 82% and 92%; and specificity, 93% and 100%, respectively). Our results indicate that NGS libraries prepared using RNA samples with the DV200 value > 66.1% exhibit greater sensitivity and specificity than those prepared with the RINe values > 2.3. These findings suggest that the DV200 is superior to the RINe, especially for low-quality RNA, because it is a more consistent assessment of the amount of the 1st NGS library product per input.

    Molecular-targeted therapies directed against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are evolving for various cancers. Neratinib is an irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor and has been approved by the FDA as an effective drug for HER2-positive breast cancer. However, acquired resistance of various cancers to molecular-targeted drugs is an issue of clinical concern, and emergence of resistance to neratinib is also considered inevitable. In this study, we established various types of neratinib-resistant cell lines from HER2-amplified breast and lung cancer cell lines using several drug exposure conditions. We analyzed the mechanisms of emergence of the resistance in these cell lines and explored effective strategies to overcome the resistance. Our results revealed that amplification of YES1, which is a member of the SRC family, was amplified in two neratinib-resistant breast cancer cell lines and one lung cancer cell line. Knockdown of YES1 by siRNA and pharmacological inhibition of YES1 by dasatinib restored the sensitivity of the YES1-amplified cell lines to neratinib in vitro. Combined treatment with dasatinib and neratinib inhibited tumor growth in vivo. This combination also induced downregulation of signaling molecules such as HER2, AKT and MAPK. Our current results indicate that YES1 plays an important role in the emergence of resistance to HER2-targeted drugs, and that dasatinib enables such acquired resistance to neratinib to be overcome.

    In 2016, division of the genus Propionibacterium into four distinct genera was proposed. As a consequence, the species Propionibacterium acnes was transferred to Cutibacterium gen. nov. as Cutibacterium acnes comb. nov. The three recently proposed subspecies of P. acnes were not, however, accommodated in this proposal. Following a very recent validation of a new combination for C. acnes subsp. defendens and an automatically created C. acnes subsp. acnes, we now propose the new combination, C. acnes subsp. elongatum comb. nov. The type strain of Cutibacterium acnes subsp. elongatum is JCM 18919(T) (=NCTC 13655(T)). On the basis of further genomic and phenotypic (haemolysis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry) analyses of these subspecies, we also provide emended descriptions of the genus Cutibacterium Scholz and Kilian 2016, C. acnes subsp. acnes (Gilchrist 1900) Nouioui et al. 2018, and C. acnes subsp. defendens (McDowell et al. 2016) Nouioui et al. 2018.

    BACKGROUND: In lung cancer, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor sensitizing mutations co-existing with rare minor EGFR mutations are known as compound mutations. These minor EGFR mutations can lead to acquired resistance after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, so determining the mutation status of patients is important. However, using amplicon-based targeted deep sequencing based on next-generation sequencing to characterize mutations is prone to sequencing error. We therefore assessed the benefit of incorporating molecular barcoding with high-throughput sequencing to investigate genomic heterogeneity in treatment-naïve patients who have undergone resection of their non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) EGFR mutations. METHODS: We performed amplicon-based targeted sequencing with the molecular barcoding system (MBS) to detect major common EGFR mutations and uncommon minor mutations at a 0.5% allele frequency in fresh-frozen lung cancer samples. RESULTS: Profiles of the common mutations of EGFR identified by MBS corresponded with the results of clinical testing in 63 (98.4%) out of 64 cases. Uncommon mutations of EGFR were detected in seven cases (10.9%). Among the three types of major EGFR mutations, patients with the G719X mutation had a significantly higher incidence of compound mutations than those with the L858R mutation or exon 19 deletion (p = 0.0052). This was validated in an independent cohort from the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of using the MBS to establish an accurate NSCLC patient genotype. This work will help understand the molecular basis of EGFR compound mutations in NSCLC, and could aid the development of new treatment modalities.

    Osimertinib (AZD9291) has an efficacy superior to that of standard EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, patients treated with osimertinib eventually acquire drug resistance, and novel therapeutic strategies to overcome acquired resistance are needed. In clinical or preclinical models, several mechanisms of acquired resistance to osimertinib have been elucidated. However, the acquired resistance mechanisms when osimertinib is initially used for EGFR-mutant NSCLC remain unclear. In this study, we experimentally established acquired osimertinib-resistant cell lines from EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines and investigated the molecular profiles of resistant cells to uncover the mechanisms of acquired resistance. Various resistance mechanisms were identified, including the acquisition of MET amplification, EMT induction, and the upregulation of AXL. Using targeted next-generation sequencing with a multigene panel, no secondary mutations were detected in our resistant cell lines. Among three MET-amplified cell lines, one cell line was sensitive to a combination of osimertinib and crizotinib. Acquired resistance cell lines derived from H1975 harboring the T790M mutation showed AXL upregulation, and the cell growth of these cell lines was suppressed by a combination of osimertinib and cabozantinib, an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including AXL, both in vitro and in vivo. Our results suggest that AXL might be a therapeutic target for overcoming acquired resistance to osimertinib. IMPLICATIONS: Upregulation of AXL is one of the mechanisms of acquired resistance to osimertinib, and combination of osimertinib and cabozantinib might be a key treatment for overcoming osimertinib resistance.

    As a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), osimeritnib is the standard treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring the EGFR T790M mutation
    however, acquired resistance inevitably develops. Therefore, a next-generation treatment strategy is warranted in the osimertinib era. We investigated the mechanism of resistance to a novel EGFR-TKI, naquotinib, with the goal of developing a novel treatment strategy. We established multiple naquotinib-resistant cell lines or osimertinib-resistant cells, two of which were derived from EGFR-TKI-naïve cells
    the others were derived from gefitinib- or afatinib-resistant cells harboring EGFR T790M. We comprehensively analyzed the RNA kinome sequence, but no universal gene alterations were detected in naquotinib-resistant cells. Neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog (NRAS) amplification was detected in naquotinib-resistant cells derived from gefitinib-resistant cells. The combination therapy of MEK inhibitors and naquotinib exhibited a highly beneficial effect in resistant cells with NRAS amplification, but the combination of MEK inhibitors and osimertinib had limited effects on naquotinib-resistant cells. Moreover, the combination of MEK inhibitors and naquotinib inhibited the growth of osimertinib-resistant cells, while the combination of MEK inhibitors and osimertinib had little effect on osimertinib-resistant cells. Clinical assessment of this novel combination (MEK inhibitors and naquotinib) is worth considering in osimertinib-resistant lung tumors.

    Intestinal metaplasia induced by ectopic expression of caudal-type homeobox (CDX)2 and/or CDX1 (CDX) is frequently observed around gastric cancer (GC). Abnormal expression of CDX is also observed in GC and suggests that inappropriate gastrointestinal differentiation plays essential roles in gastric tumorigenesis, but their roles on tumorigenesis remain unelucidated. Publicly available databases show that GC patients with higher CDX expression have significantly better clinical outcomes. We introduced CDX2 and CDX1 genes separately into GC-originated MKN7 and TMK1 cells deficient in CDX. Marked suppression of cell growth and dramatic morphological change into spindle-shaped flat form were observed along with induction of intestinal marker genes. G0-G1 growth arrest was accompanied by changed expression of cell cycle-related genes but not with apoptosis or senescence. Microarray analyses additionally showed decreased expression of gastric marker genes and increased expression of stemness-associated genes. Hierarchical clustering of 111 GC tissues and 21 non-cancerous gastric tissues by selected 18 signature genes based on our transcriptome analyses clearly categorized the 132 tissues into non-cancer, "CDX signature"-positive GC, and "CDX signature"-negative GC. Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that "CDX signature"-positive GC has lower malignant features. Immunohistochemistry of 89 GC specimens showed that 50.6% were CDX2-deficient, 66.3% were CDX1-deficient, and 44.9% were concomitant CDX2/CDX1-deficient, suggesting that potentially targetable GC cases by induced intestinal differentiation are quite common. In conclusion, exogenous expression of CDX2/CDX1 can lead to efficient growth inhibition of CDX-deficient GC cells. It is based on rapidly induced intestinal differentiation, which may be a future therapeutic strategy.

    In patients presenting with synchronous or metachronous multiple lung cancer (MLC), it is important to distinguish between multiple primary lung cancer (MP) and intrapulmonary metastasis (IM). The present study was aimed at investigating the mutational profiles of synchronous/metachronous MLC and to compare the classification of paired tumors by multiplex gene mutation analysis with the histopathological evaluation. We carried out targeted sequencing of 20 lung cancer-related oncogenes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 82 tumors from 37 MLC patients who underwent surgical resection at our department. The patients were diagnosed as MP or IM cases based on the Martini and Melamed criteria, histopathological and gene mutational evaluations. Matching mutations between paired tumors was observed in 20 (54%) patients, who were diagnosed as IM cases by mutational evaluation. Patients who could not be clearly diagnosed by histopathological evaluation were classified as equivocal cases. Among the histopathological IM cases (n = 7), six (86%) were confirmed as IM cases also by mutational evaluation, and most of the paired tumors of these cases (n = 5) harbored multiple matching mutations. Among the histopathological MP cases (n = 17), mutational evaluation yielded a discordant diagnosis in eight (47%) cases. Of these, the paired tumors of four cases harbored multiple matching mutations, suggesting that the mutational diagnosis might be more suitable in these patients. Our findings suggest that multiplex mutational analysis could be a useful complementary tool for distinguishing between MP and IM in addition to histopathological evaluation.

    Compensatory activation of the signal transduction pathways is one of the major obstacles for the targeted therapy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, we present the therapeutic strategy of combined targeted therapy against the MEK and phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) pathways for acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in NSCLC. We investigated the efficacy of combined trametinib plus taselisib therapy using experimentally established EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC cell lines. The results showed that the feedback loop between MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways had developed in several resistant cell lines, which caused the resistance to single-agent treatment with either inhibitor alone. Meanwhile, the combined therapy successfully regulated the compensatory activation of the key intracellular signals and synergistically inhibited the cell growth of those cells in vitro and in vivo. The resistance mechanisms for which the dual kinase inhibitor therapy proved effective included (MET) mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor amplification, induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and EGFR T790M mutation. In further analysis, the combination therapy induced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK signaling, leading to the activation of apoptosis cascade. Additionally, long-term treatment with the combination therapy induced the conversion from EMT to mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition in the resistant cell line harboring EMT features, restoring the sensitivity to EGFR-TKI. In conclusion, our results indicate that the combined therapy using MEK and PI3K inhibitors is a potent therapeutic strategy for NSCLC with the acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs.

    Gastric cancer patients positive for peritoneal cytology are at increased risk of tumor recurrence, but although a certain proportion of cytology-positive patients relapse rapidly with aggressive progression, others survive longer with conventional chemotherapies. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to stratify patients for more intensive therapy and poses a substantial challenge for the implementation of precision medicine. We developed a new approach to identify biologically malignant subpopulations in cytology-positive gastric cancer patients, using a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing attenuated adenovirus in which the telomerase promoter regulates viral replication (TelomeScan, OBP-401). The fluorescence emitted from TelomeScan-positive cells was successfully quantified using a multi-mode microplate reader. We then analyzed clinical peritoneal washes obtained from 68 gastric cancer patients and found that patients positive for TelomeScan had a significantly worse prognosis. In 21 cytology-positive patients, the median survival time of those who were TelomeScan positive (235 days) was significantly shorter than that for those who were TelomeScan negative (671 days; P = 0.0062). This fluorescent virus-guided cytology detects biologically malignant cancer cells from the peritoneal washes of gastric cancer patients and may thus be useful for both therapy stratification and precision medicine approaches based on genetic profiling of disseminated cells.

    The ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) crizotinib has shown dramatic effects in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring ROS1 fusion genes. However, patients inevitably develop resistance to this agent. Therefore, a new treatment strategy is required for lung tumors with ROS1 fusion genes. In the present study, lung cancer cell lines, HCC78 harboring SLC34A2-ROS1 and ABC-20 harboring CD74-ROS1, were used as cell line-based resistance models. Crizotinib-resistant HCC78R cells were established from HCC78. We comprehensively screened the resistant cells using a phosphor-receptor tyrosine kinase array and RNA sequence analysis by next-generation sequencing. HCC78R cells showed upregulation of HB-EGF and activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation and the EGFR signaling pathway. Recombinant HB-EGF or EGF rendered HCC78 cells or ABC-20 cells resistant to crizotinib. RNA sequence analysis by next-generation sequencing revealed the upregulation of AXL in HCC78R cells. HCC78R cells showed marked sensitivity to EGFR-TKI or anti-EGFR antibody treatment in vitro. Combinations of an AXL inhibitor, cabozantinib or gilteritinib, and an EGFR-TKI were more effective against HCC78R cells than monotherapy with an EGFR-TKI or AXL inhibitor. The combination of cabozantinib and gefitinib effectively inhibited the growth of HCC78R tumors in an in vivo xenograft model of NOG mice. The results of this study indicated that HB-EGF/EGFR and AXL play roles in crizotinib resistance in lung cancers harboring ROS1 fusions. The combination of cabozantinib and EGFR-TKI may represent a useful alternative treatment strategy for patients with advanced NSCLC harboring ROS1 fusion genes.

    Background: The mechanism behind the pathogenesis and carcinogenesis of these neoplasms is not fully understood. The objective of this study was to identify genetic markers and pathways specific to precancerous duodenal adenomas and early stage adenocarcinomas through gene expression analysis. Methods: Gene expression profiling was performed in 4 pairs of duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas and corresponding matched normal tissue. Genes with consistent expression differences were identified and confirmed in 7 independent pairs. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to characterize gene expression profiles of duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas, together with immunohistochemical staining of candidate oncogenic genes. Results: 626 probes consistently demonstrated over a twofold expression difference between tumor–normal pairs. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction of genes with the most prominent difference in expression between tumors and normal mucosa (KLK7, KLK6, CEMIP, MMP7, KRT17, LGR5, G6PC, S100G, APOA1) validated the results of gene expression analysis. GSEA demonstrated a strong association between duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas with colorectal adenomas (p &lt
    10−5) and gene expression patterns seen after APC gene knockout (p &lt
    10−5), suggesting that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a crucial role in the carcinogenesis of these neoplasms. Immunohistochemical staining of an independent group of duodenal adenomas confirmed over-accumulation of β-catenin in 80.0% (16/20). Conclusions: Precancerous duodenal adenomas and early stage adenocarcinomas demonstrate gene expression characteristics with a strong resemblance to colorectal adenomas. The results of this study strongly suggest that upregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is the major factor involved in the initial stages of the carcinogenesis of duodenal adenocarcinomas.

    Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of the ErbB (HER) family that is known to play important roles in the pathogenesis of various human cancers. Mutations of the EGFR gene are commonly found as oncogenic driver mutations and have been targeted for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Leucine-rich repeat and immunoglobulin-like domain protein-1 (LRIG1) is a cell-surface protein that is known as a negative regulator of the ErbB (HER) family. In this study, we first confirmed that the expression levels of LRIG1 were much lower in NSCLC than in non-malignant cells or tissues. Next, we focused on the effect of LRIG1 in NSCLC. For this purpose, we established clones stably overexpressing LRIG1, using EGFR-mutant (HCC827, HCC4011 and NCI-H1975) and wild-type (A549) cells. Transfection of LRIG1 was associated with a decrease in the expression and phosphorylation levels of EGFR in the HCC827, HCC4011 and NCI-H1975 cells. It was also associated with strong suppression of the cell proliferative, invasive, migratory and tumorigenic potential of the HCC827 cells. On the other hand, no such effects were observed in the A549 cells. In addition, LRIG1 also downregulated the expression and phosphorylation levels of other tyrosine kinase receptors, such as HER2, HER3, MET and IGF-1R, and prevented the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-β in the HCC827 cells. These findings suggest that LRIG1 exerts important tumor-suppressive effects in EGFR-mutant NSCLC and has the potential to become a novel therapeutic target for EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

    Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various cancers. HER2 alterations have been suggested to be a therapeutic target in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), just as in breast and gastric cancers. We previously reported that the pan-HER inhibitor afatinib could be a useful therapeutic agent as HER2-targeted therapy for patients with NSCLC harboring HER2 alterations. However, acquired resistance to afatinib was observed in the clinical setting, similar to the case for other HER inhibitors. Thus, elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the development of acquired drug resistance and exploring means to overcome acquired drug resistance are important issues in the treatment of NSCLC. In this study, we experimentally established afatinib-resistant cell lines from NSCLC cell lines harboring HER2 alterations, and investigated the mechanisms underlying the acquisition of drug resistance. The established cell lines showed several unique afatinib-resistance mechanisms, including MET amplification, loss of HER2 amplification and gene expression, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and acquisition of cancer stem cell (CSC)-like features. The afatinib-resistant cell lines showing MET amplification were sensitive to the combination of afatinib plus crizotinib (a MET inhibitor), both in vitro and in vivo. The resistant cell lines which showed EMT or had acquired CSC-like features remained sensitive to docetaxel, like the parental cells. These findings may provide clues to countering the resistance to afatinib in NSCLC patients with HER2 alterations.

    BRAF is one of the most frequently mutated genes across a number of different cancers, with the best-characterized mutation being V600E. Despite the successes of treating BRAF mutant V600E lung cancer with BRAF pathway inhibitors, treatment strategies targeting tumors with non-V600E mutations are yet to be established. We studied cellular signaling differences between lung cancers with different BRAF mutations and determined their sensitivities to BRAF pathway inhibitors. Here, we observed that MEK inhibition induced feedback activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) EGFR, and in some cases the RTK FGFR, resulting in transient suppression of ERK phosphorylation in BRAF non-V600E, but not BRAF V600E, mutant cells. Furthermore, we found that both EGFR and FGFR activated the MEK/ERK pathway, despite the presence of BRAF non-V600E mutations with elevated kinase activity. Moreover, in BRAF non-V600E mutants with impaired kinase activities, EGFR had even greater control over the MEK/ERK pathway, essentially contributing completely to the tonic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal. Accordingly, the combination of MEK inhibitor with EGFR inhibitor was effective at shrinking tumors in mouse model of BRAF non-V600E mutant lung cancer. Furthermore, the results were recapitulated with a clinically relevant dual inhibitor of EGFR and RAF, BGB-283. Overall, although BRAF V600E mutant cells are sensitive to BRAF inhibition, non-V600E mutant cancer cells are reliant on RTKs for their MAPK activation and inhibiting both MEK and RTKs are necessary in these cancers. Our findings provide evidence of critical survival signals in BRAF non-V600E mutant cancers, which could pave the way for effective treatment of these cancers.

    We previously reported on a family with hereditary lung cancer, in which a germline mutation in the transmembrane domain (G660D) of avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) (ERBB2
    human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]) seemed to be responsible for the cancer predisposition. Although few data are available on treatment, anti-ERBB2 therapeutic agents may be effective for ERBB2-mutant cancers. The familial lung cancer patient in one of the authors’ institutes developed bone metastasis with enlarging lung tumors and was treated with the ERBB2 inhibitor afatinib. We also encountered a patient with ampullary adenocarcinoma with ERBB2 G660D and S310F comutations in another institute of the authors’, revealed by comprehensive genomic profiling. This patient was then treated with afatinib and also achieved transitory response. We also searched for ERBB2 transmembrane mutations in various types of cancers in PubMed, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and the Memorial Sloan Kettering-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets (MSK-IMPACT) database. Besides our two cases, two patients with V659E mutations were found via PubMed. Three potential patients were found in TCGA. In addition, MSK-IMPACT allowed identification of three additional urothelial carcinomas with G660D mutations and two lung adenocarcinomas with V659E mutations. Our experience suggests that establishing a database of integrated information regarding the clinical genome and therapeutic outcome of patients with recurrent but less common mutations is essential to implement precision oncology. Key Points: Rare but targetable mutations such as avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) (ERBB2
    human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]) transmembrane domain (TMD) mutations can be detected by comprehensive genomic profiling. Afatinib may be effective for patients with cancer with ERBB2 (HER2) TMD mutations. In order to implement precision oncology, it is important to establish a database of integrated information regarding the clinical genomes and therapeutic outcomes of patients with recurrent but less common mutations.

    CCL28 induces the migration of IgA Ab-secreting cells (ASCs) via CCR10 and also displays a potent antimicrobial activity in vitro. To explore the role of CCL28 in vivo, we generated CCL28-deficient mice. The mice exhibited a significant reduction and abnormal distribution of IgA ASCs in the lamina propria of the colon. The concentrations of total and Ag-specific IgA in the fecal extracts of CCL28-deficient mice were also drastically reduced. The average amount of IgA secreted by a single IgA ASC derived from the colon was also substantially reduced in CCL28-deficient mice. Furthermore, CCL28 was found to significantly increase the average amount of IgA secreted by a single IgA ASC derived from the colon in vitro. In contrast, the generation of IgA ASCs in Peyer's and cecal patches was not significantly impaired in CCL28-deficient mice. We also found a relative increase in the Class Bacilli in the fecal extracts of CCL28-deficient mice and demonstrated a potent antimicrobial activity of CCL28 against Bacillus cereus and Enterococcus faecalis, both of which belong to Class Bacilli. Thus, CCL28 may also suppress the outgrowth of some bacterial species by its direct antimicrobial activity. Finally, CCL28-deficient mice exhibited a highly aggravated dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis that was ameliorated by pretreatment with antibiotics. Collectively, CCL28 plays a pivotal role in the homing, distribution, and function of IgA ASCs in the colon and may also affect the intestinal microbiota through its direct antimicrobial activity.

    Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor with an unfavorable prognosis. The standard therapeutic approaches are limited to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Because the consequent clinical outcome is often unsatisfactory, a different approach in MPM treatment is required. S100A11, a Ca2+-binding small protein with two EF-hands, is frequently upregulated in various human cancers. Interestingly, it has been found that intracellular and extracellular S100A11 have different functions in cell viability. In this study, we focused on the impact of extracellular S100A11 in MPM and explored the therapeutic potential of an S100A11-targeting strategy. We examined the secretion level of S100A11 in various kinds of cell lines by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Among them, six out of seven MPM cell lines actively secreted S100A11, whereas normal mesothelial cell lines did not secrete it. To investigate the role of secreted S100A11 in MPM, we inhibited its function by neutralizing S100A11 with an anti-S100A11 antibody. Interestingly, the antibody significantly inhibited the proliferation of S100A11-secreting MPM cells in vitro and in vivo. Microarray analysis revealed that several pathways including genes involved in cell proliferation were negatively enriched in the antibody-treated cell lines. In addition, we examined the secretion level of S100A11 in various types of pleural effusions. We found that the secretion of S100A11 was significantly higher in MPM pleural effusions, compared to others, suggesting the possibility for the use of S100A11 as a biomarker. In conclusion, our results indicate that extracellular S100A11 plays important roles in MPM and may be a therapeutic target in S100A11-secreting MPM.

    Docetaxel is a third-generation chemotherapeutic drug that is widely used in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the majority of patients with NSCLC eventually acquire resistance to the treatment. In the present study, the mechanism of acquired resistance to docetaxel treatment in lung cancer cells was investigated. The three NSCLC cell lines, H1299 with wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), EGFR-mutant HCC4006 and HCC827, and experimentally established docetaxel-resistant (DR) cells, H1299-DR, HCC827-DR, and HCC4006-DR were used with stepwise increases in concentrations of docetaxel. It was demonstrated that the established cell lines showed resistance to docetaxel and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Molecular analysis revealed that all of the resistant cell lines highly expressed ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), which is also known as P-glycoprotein or MDR1. Furthermore, HCC827-DR and HCC4006-DR cells exhibited a cancer stem cell-like marker and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition features, respectively. Elacridar (GF120918), a third-generation inhibitor of ABCB1, was able to overcome resistance to docetaxel. Additionally, knockdown of ABCB1 using small interfering RNA (si)-ABCB1 recovered sensitivity to docetaxel. However, elacridar and si-ABCB1 could not recover sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs in established resistant cells. The results of the present study revealed that docetaxelresis-tant NSCLC cells also acquired cross-resistance to EGFR-TKI therapy through mechanisms other than ABCB1, that ABCB1 serves an important role in acquired resistance to docetaxel in lung cancer, and that combination therapy with elacridar can overcome ABCB1-mediated docetaxel resistance.

    Background: Induction chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery is a therapeutic option for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Typically, around 40-50 Gy of radiation is applied as the induction-dose; however, a definitive-dose (DD) of radiation (60 Gy or higher) is occasionally applied to increase local control. We investigated the impact of induction CRT with DD radiation in LA-NSCLC patients treated with a single regimen of docetaxel and cisplatin.
    Methods: We reviewed 110 patients with LA-NSCLC who underwent induction CRT followed by surgery using a single regimen (docetaxel and cisplatin) between January 1999 and December 2014 at our hospital. The clinical outcomes of a DD group (60 Gy or higher, n= 11) and a non-DD group (less than 60 Gy, n= 99) were investigated using a propensity score (PS)-matched analysis.
    Results: An advanced clinical stage was significantly more common in the DD group than in the nonDD group (P= 0.033). Before and after the PS-matching based on seven factors including clinical stage, there was no significant difference in the rates of postoperative (PO) complication, mortality, 5-year overall survival (OS), or 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the two groups. After the PS-matching, the pathological complete response (CR) rate was significantly higher in the DD group than in the non-DD group [50% (n= 5/10) vs. 0% (n= 0/10), P= 0.033].
    Conclusions: Induction CRT followed by surgery using docetaxel and cisplatin with DD radiation can be performed safely and is associated with a higher pathological CR rate than that attained using non-DD radiation in LA-NSCLC patients.

    Despite therapeutic advances, glioblastoma represents a lethal brain tumor. Recently, research to identify prognostic markers for glioblastoma has intensified. Our previous study demonstrated that median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with high cysteine-rich protein 61 (CCN1) expression was significantly shorter than that of patients with low CCN1 expression. To understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate CCN1 expression, we examined 147 tumour samples from 80 patients with glioblastoma and 67 patients with lower grade glioma. Next-generation and Sanger sequencing showed that PIK3R1Met326Ile was more frequent in the CCN1 high expression group (10/37 cases, 27.0%) than the CCN1 low expression group (3/38 cases, 7.9%) in glioblastoma. This mutation was also detected in corresponding blood samples. In multivariate analysis, high CCN1 expression and PIK3R1Met326Ile in glioblastoma patients were prognostic factors for OS [HR = 2.488 (1.298-4.769), p = 0.006] and [HR = 2.089 (1.020-4.277), p = 0.0439], respectively. Thus, the PIK3R1Met326Ile germline appears to be correlated with CCN1 expression and poor prognosis in glioblastoma.

    Though patients with EGFR mutations are initially responsive to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), most tumors ultimately acquire resistance to EGFR-TKIs. The most frequently reported mechanism is EGFR T790M mutation. In this study, using a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) system, we assessed optimal conditions for a mutation detection assay for EGFR T790M obtained from circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma. The advantages of locked nucleic acids (LNA) probe, short amplicon size, and blocking oligo using peptide nucleic acids (PNA) were assessed using control DNAs from cell lines to improve the sensitivity of mutation detection. T790M alleles were then analyzed using ddPCR in 59 plasma samples from 24 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations, and compared to the T790M status which were determined thorough re-biopsies. The assessment of the optimal assay method revealed that the assay using the short amplicon can efficiently detect more fragmented-DNA. The LNA probe and PNA clamp contributed better separation between positive and negative droplets. This PNA-LNA-ddPCR clamp method can detect mutant alleles in the sample with a mutant allele content of 0.01%. In clinical plasma samples, T790M alleles were detected via ddPCR with a sensitivity of 42.8% and specificity of 97.3%. We established a highly-sensitive detection assay for the T790M allele using the PNA-LNA-ddPCR clamp method. ddPCR is a promising method for detecting non-invasive T790M mutation.

    Understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive adipogenesis is important in developing new treatments for obesity and diabetes. Epigenetic regulations determine the capacity of adipogenesis. In this study, we examined the role of a histone H3 lysine 27 demethylase, the ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat protein on the X chromosome (Utx), in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to adipocytes. Using gene trapping, we examined Utx-deficient male mESCs to determine whether loss of Utx would enhance or inhibit the differentiation of mESCs to adipocytes. Utx-deficient mESCs showed diminished potential to differentiate to adipocytes compared to that of controls. In contrast, Utx-deficient preadipocytes showed enhanced differentiation to adipocytes. Microarray analyses indicated that the beta-catenin/c-Myc signaling pathway was differentially regulated in Utx-deficient cells during adipocyte differentiation. Therefore, our data suggest that Utx governs adipogenesis by regulating c-Myc in a differentiation stage-specific manner and that targeting the Utx signaling pathway could be beneficial for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, and congenital utx-deficiency disorders.

    Background
    Overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is observed in approximately 15-23% of breast cancers and these cancers are classified as HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab is the first-line targeted therapeutic drug for HER2-positive breast cancer and has improved patient overall survival. However, acquired resistance to trastuzumab is still a critical issue in breast cancer treatment. We previously established a trastuzumabresistant breast cancer cell line (named as BT-474-R) from a trastuzumab-sensitive HER2-amplified cell line BT-474. Lapatinib is also a molecular-targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer, which acquired the resistance to trastuzumab. Acquired resistance to lapatinib is also an issue to be conquered.
    Methods
    We established trastuzumab/lapatinib-dual resistant cell line (named as BT-474-RL2) by additionally treating BT-474-R with lapatinib. We analyzed the mechanisms of resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib. Besides, we analyzed the effect of the detected resistance mechanism in HER2-positive breast cancer patients.
    Results
    Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Yes1, which is one of the Src family members, was amplified, overexpressed and activated in BT-474-R and BT-474-RL2. Silencing of Yes1 by siRNA induced both BT-474-R and BT-474-RL2 to restore the sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib. Pharmaceutical inhibition of Yes1 by the Src inhibitor dasatinib was also effective to restore the sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib in the two resistant cell lines. Combination treatment with dasatinib and trastuzumab induced down-regulation of signaling molecules such as HER2 and Akt. Moreover, the combination treatments induced G1-phase cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Consistent with cell line data, high expression of Yes1 mRNA was correlated with worse prognosis in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
    Conclusion
    Yes1 plays an important role in acquired resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib in HER2-positive breast cancer. Our data suggest that pharmacological inhibition of Yes1 may be an effective strategy to overcome resistance to trastuzumab and lapatinib.

    Pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide. Mycobacterium avium is the most clinically significant NTM species in humans and animals, and comprises four subspecies: M. avium subsp. avium (MAA), M. avium subsp. silvaticum (MAS), M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), and M. avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH). To improve our understanding of the genetic landscape and diversity of M. avium and its role in disease, we performed a comparative genome analysis of 79 M. avium strains. Our analysis demonstrated that MAH is an open pan-genome species. Phylogenetic analysis based on single nucleotide variants showed that MAH had the highest degree of sequence variability among the subspecies, and MAH strains isolated in Japan and those isolated abroad possessed distinct phylogenetic features. Furthermore, MAP strains, MAS and MAA strains isolated from birds, and many MAH strains that cause the progression of pulmonary disease were grouped in each specific cluster. Comparative genome analysis revealed the presence of genetic elements specific to each lineage, which are thought to be acquired via horizontal gene transfer during the evolutionary process, and identified potential genetic determinants accounting for the pathogenic and host range characteristics of M. avium.

    MicroRNA (miR)-200 family members (miR-200s) are frequently silenced in advanced cancer and have been implicated in the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We previously reported that miR-200s were silenced through promoter methylation in acquired EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells harboring EMT features. In this study, we examined the functional role of miR-200s in NSCLC cells and investigated a novel approach to overcoming acquired EGFR-TKI resistance. In the analysis of NSCLC cell lines, each of the miR-200s expression-silenced cell lines showed promoter methylation. Significant correlations between miR-200c silencing and several oncogenic pathway alterations, including EMT-changes and LIN28B overexpression, were observed in the database analysis. In addition, EGFR-wild type cell lines had lower miR-200s expression levels than EGFR-mutant cell lines. The introduction of miR-200c using pre-miR-200c caused LIN28B suppression in cells with acquired EGFR-TKI resistance that harbored EMT features. Interestingly, both the introduction of miR-200c and the knockdown of LIN28B produced an antitumor effect in acquired EGFR-TKI resistance cells, whereas these manipulations were not effective in parental cells. The miR-200c/LIN28B axis plays an important role in cells with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI that harbor EMT features and might be a useful therapeutic target for overcoming resistance.

    HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase and its upregulation via activating mutations or amplification has been identified in some malignant tumors, including lung cancers. Because HER2 can be a therapeutic target in HER2-driven malignancies, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms of HER2 activation. In the current study, we identified that cytokeratin 19 (KRT19) binds to HER2 at the inside face of plasma membrane. HER2 and KRT19, which were concurrently introduced to a human embryonic kidney 293 T cells, revealed an association with each other and resulted in phosphorylation of HER2 with the subsequent activation of a downstream Erk-associated pathway. A binding assay revealed that both the NH2-terminal head domain of KRT19 and the COOH-terminal domain of HER2 were essential for their binding. To investigate the impact of the interaction between HER2 and KRT19 in lung cancer, we examined their expressions and localizations in lung cancers. We found that KRT19 was highly expressed in HER2-positive lung cancer cells, and KRT19 and HER2 were co-localized at the cell membrane. In conclusion, we found that KRT19 intracellularly binds to HER2, playing a critical role in HER2 activation.

    UNLABELLED: KRAS is frequently mutated in lung cancer. Whereas MAPK is a well-known effector pathway of KRAS, blocking this pathway with clinically available MAPK inhibitors is relatively ineffective. Here, we report that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition rewires the expression of receptor tyrosine kinases, leading to differential feedback activation of the MAPK pathway following MEK inhibition. In epithelial-like KRAS-mutant lung cancers, this feedback was attributed to ERBB3-mediated activation of MEK and AKT. In contrast, in mesenchymal-like KRAS-mutant lung cancers, FGFR1 was dominantly expressed but suppressed by the negative regulator Sprouty proteins; MEK inhibition led to repression of SPRY4 and subsequent FGFR1-mediated reactivation of MEK and AKT. Therapeutically, the combination of a MEK inhibitor (MEKi) and an FGFR inhibitor (FGFRi) induced cell death in vitro and tumor regressions in vivo These data establish the rationale and a therapeutic approach to treat mesenchymal-like KRAS-mutant lung cancers effectively with clinically available FGFR1 and MAPK inhibitors. SIGNIFICANCE: Adaptive resistance to MEKi is driven by receptor tyrosine kinases specific to the differentiation state of the KRAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In mesenchymal-like KRAS-mutant NSCLC, FGFR1 is highly expressed, and MEK inhibition relieves feedback suppression of FGFR1, resulting in reactivation of ERK; suppression of ERK by MEKi/FGFRi combination results in tumor shrinkage.

    Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the HER family of proteins containing four receptor tyrosine kinases. It plays an important role in the pathogenesis of certain human cancers. In non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), HER2 amplification or mutations have been reported. However, little is known about the benefit of HER2-targeted therapy for NSCLCs harboring HER2 alterations. In this study, we investigated the antitumor effect of afatinib, an irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-HER2 dual inhibitor, in lung cancers harboring HER2 oncogene alterations, including novel HER2 mutations in the transmembrane domain, which we recently identified. Normal bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B, ectopically overexpressing wild-type HER2 or mutants (A775insYVMA, G776VC, G776LC, P780insGSP, V659E, and G660D) showed constitutive autophosphorylation of HER2 and activation of downstream signaling. They were sensitive to afatinib, but insensitive to gefitinib. Furthermore, we examined the antitumor activity of afatinib and gefitinib in several NSCLC cell lines, and investigated the association between their genetic alterations and sensitivity to afatinib treatment. In HER2-altered NSCLC cells (H2170, Calu-3, and H1781), afatinib downregulated the phosphorylation of HER2 and EGFR as well as their downstream signaling, and induced an antiproliferative effect through G1 arrest and apoptotic cell death. In contrast, HER2- or EGFR-non-dependent NSCLC cells were insensitive to afatinib. In addition, these effects were confirmed in vivo by using a xenograft mouse model of HER2-altered lung cancer cells. Our results suggest that afatinib is a therapeutic option as a HER2-targeted therapy for NSCLC harboring HER2 amplification or mutations. In this study, we demonstrated the antitumor effect of afatinib, as a HER2-targeted therapy, in lung cancers harboring HER2 alterations in vitro and in vivo. Our results strongly suggest that afatinib is a promising therapeutic option for NSCLC patients with HER2-amplification or mutations.

    Druggable sites on protein-protein interfaces are difficult to predict. To survey inhibitor-binding sites onto which residues are superimposed at protein-protein interfaces, we analyzed publicly available information for 39 inhibitors that target the protein-protein interfaces of 8 drug targets. By focusing on the differences between residues that were superimposed with inhibitors and non-superimposed residues, we observed clear differences in the distances and changes in the solvent-accessible surface areas (.SASA). Based on the observation that two or more residues were superimposed onto inhibitors in 37 (95%) of 39 protein-inhibitor complexes, we focused on the two-residue relationships. Application of a cross-validation procedure confirmed a linear negative correlation between the absolute value of the dihedral angle and the sum of the Delta SASAs of the residues. Finally, we applied the regression equation of this correlation to four inhibitors that bind to new sites not bound by the 39 inhibitors as well as additional inhibitors of different targets. Our results shed light on the two-residue correlation between the absolute value of the dihedral angle and the sum of the Delta SASA, which may be a useful relationship for identifying the key two-residues as potential targets of protein-protein interfaces.

    Lung cancers often harbour a mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. Because proliferation and survival of lung cancers with EGFR mutation solely depend on aberrant signalling from the mutated EGFR, these tumours often show dramatic responses to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, acquiring resistance to these drugs is almost inevitable, thus a better understanding of the underlying resistance mechanisms is critical. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) transformation is a relatively rare acquired resistance mechanism that has lately attracted considerable attention. In the present study, through an in-depth analysis of multiple EGFR-TKI refractory lesions obtained from an autopsy case, we observed a complementary relationship between SCLC transformation and EGFR T790M secondary mutation (resistance mutation). We also identified analogies and differences in genetic aberration between a TKI-refractory lesion with SCLC transformation and one with EGFR T790M mutation. In particular, target sequencing revealed a TP53 P151S mutation in all pre-and post-treatment lesions. PTEN M264I mutation was identified only in a TKI-refractory lesion with SCLC transformation, while PIK3CA and RB1 mutations were identified only in pre-treatment primary tumour samples. These results provide the groundwork for understanding acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs via SCLC transformation.

    The human skin microbiome has important roles in skin health and disease. However, bacterial population structure and diversity at the strain level is poorly understood. We compared the skin microbiome at the strain level and genome level of Propionibacterium acnes, a dominant skin commensal, between 49 acne patients and 52 healthy individuals by sampling the pilosebaceous units on their noses. Metagenomic analysis demonstrated that although the relative abundances of P. acnes were similar, the strain population structures were significantly different in the two cohorts. Certain strains were highly associated with acne, and other strains were enriched in healthy skin. By sequencing 66 previously unreported P. acnes strains and comparing 71 P. acnes genomes, we identified potential genetic determinants of various P. acnes strains in association with acne or health. Our analysis suggests that acquired DNA sequences and bacterial immune elements may have roles in determining virulence properties of P. acnes strains, and some could be future targets for therapeutic interventions. This study demonstrates a previously unreported paradigm of commensal strain populations that could explain the pathogenesis of human diseases. It underscores the importance of strain-level analysis of the human microbiome to define the role of commensals in health and disease.

    The human skin harbors a diverse community of bacteria, including the Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium Propionibacterium acnes. P. acnes has historically been linked to the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris, a common skin disease affecting over 80% of all adolescents in the US. To gain insight into potential P. acnes pathogenic mechanisms, we previously sequenced the complete genome of a P. acnes strain HL096PA1 that is highly associated with acne. In this study, we compared its genome to the first published complete genome KPA171202. HL096PA1 harbors a linear plasmid, pIMPLE-HL096PA1. This is the first described P. acnes plasmid. We also observed a five-fold increase of pseudogenes in HL096PA1, several of which encode proteins in carbohydrate transport and metabolism. In addition, our analysis revealed a few island-like genomic regions that are unique to HL096PA1 and a large genomic inversion spanning the ribosomal operons. Together, these findings offer a basis for understanding P. acnes virulent properties, host adaptation mechanisms, and its potential role in acne pathogenesis at the strain level. Furthermore, the plasmid identified in HL096PA1 may potentially provide a new opportunity for P. acnes genetic manipulation and targeted therapy against specific disease-associated strains.

    Background: B. bronchiseptica infections are usually associated with wild or domesticated animals, but infrequently with humans. A recent phylogenetic analysis distinguished two distinct B. bronchiseptica subpopulations, designated complexes I and IV. Complex IV isolates appear to have a bias for infecting humans; however, little is known regarding their epidemiology, virulence properties, or comparative genomics.
    Results: Here we report a characterization of the virulence of human-associated complex IV B. bronchiseptica strains. In in vitro cytotoxicity assays, complex IV strains showed increased cytotoxicity in comparison to a panel of complex I strains. Some complex IV isolates were remarkably cytotoxic, resulting in LDH release levels in A549 cells that were 10- to 20-fold greater than complex I strains. In vivo, a subset of complex IV strains was found to be hypervirulent, with an increased ability to cause lethal pulmonary infections in mice. Hypercytotoxicity in vitro and hypervirulence in vivo were both dependent on the activity of the bsc T3SS and the BteA effector. To clarify differences between lineages, representative complex IV isolates were sequenced and their genomes were compared to complex I isolates. Although our analysis showed there were no genomic sequences that can be considered unique to complex IV strains, there were several loci that were predominantly found in complex IV isolates.
    Conclusion: Our observations reveal a T3SS-dependent hypervirulence phenotype in human-associated complex IV isolates, highlighting the need for further studies on the epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics of this B. bronchiseptica lineage.

    The Gram-positive bacterium Propionibacterium acnes is a member of the normal human skin microbiota and is associated with various infections and clinical conditions. There is tentative evidence to suggest that certain lineages may be associated with disease and others with health. We recently described a multilocus sequence typing scheme (MLST) for P. acnes based on seven housekeeping genes (http://pubmlst.org/pacnes). We now describe an expanded eight gene version based on six housekeeping genes and two 'putative virulence' genes (eMLST) that provides improved high resolution typing (91eSTs from 285 isolates), and generates phylogenies congruent with those based on whole genome analysis. When compared with the nine gene MLST scheme developed at the University of Bath, UK, and utilised by researchers at Aarhus University, Denmark, the eMLST method offers greater resolution. Using the scheme, we examined 208 isolates from disparate clinical sources, and 77 isolates from healthy skin. Acne was predominately associated with type IA(1) clonal complexes CC1, CC3 and CC4; with eST1 and eST3 lineages being highly represented. In contrast, type IA(2) strains were recovered at a rate similar to type IB and II organisms. Ophthalmic infections were predominately associated with type IA1 and IA2 strains, while type IB and II were more frequently recovered from soft tissue and retrieved medical devices. Strains with rRNA mutations conferring resistance to antibiotics used in acne treatment were dominated by eST3, with some evidence for intercontinental spread. In contrast, despite its high association with acne, only a small number of resistant CC1 eSTs were identified. A number of eSTs were only recovered from healthy skin, particularly eSTs representing CC72 (type II) and CC77 (type III). Collectively our data lends support to the view that pathogenic versus truly commensal lineages of P. acnes may exist. This is likely to have important therapeutic and diagnostic implications.

    We and others previously identified NKX2-1, also known as TITF1 and TTF-1, as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung adenocarcinomas. Here we show that NKX2-1 induces the expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), which in turn sustains a favorable balance between prosurvival PI3K-AKT and pro-apoptotic p38 signaling, in part through ROR1 kinase-dependent c-Src activation, as well as kinase activity-independent sustainment of the EGFR-ERBB3 association, ERBB3 phosphorylation, and consequential PI3K activation. Notably, ROR1 knockdown effectively inhibited lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, irrespective of their EGFR status, including those with resistance to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib. Our findings thus identify ROR1 as an "Achilles' heel" in lung adenocarcinoma, warranting future development of therapeutic strategies for this devastating cancer.

    Cell migration driven by actomyosin filament assembly is a critical step in tumour invasion and metastasis. Herein, we report identification of myosin binding protein H (MYBPH) as a transcriptional target of TTF-1 (also known as NKX2-1 and TITF1), a master regulator of lung development that also plays a role as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma development. MYBPH inhibited assembly competence-conferring phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) as well as activating phosphorylation of LIM domain kinase (LIMK), unexpectedly through its direct physical interaction with Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) rather than with RLC. Consequently, MYBPH inhibited ROCK1 and negatively regulated actomyosin organization, which in turn reduced single cell motility and increased collective cell migration, resulting in decreased cancer invasion and metastasis. Finally, we also show that MYBPH is epigenetically inactivated by promoter DNA methylation in a fraction of TTF-1-positive lung adenocarcinomas, which appears to be in accordance with its deleterious functions in lung adenocarcinoma invasion and metastasis, as well as with the paradoxical association of TTF-1 expression with favourable prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

    There is urgent need for biomarkers that provide early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as well as discrimination of autoimmune pancreatitis, as current clinical approaches are not suitably accurate for precise diagnosis. We used mass spectrometry to analyze protein profiles of more than 300 plasma specimens obtained from PDAC, noncancerous pancreatic diseases including autoimmune pancreatitis patients and healthy subjects. We obtained 1063 proteomic signals from 160 plasma samples in the training cohort. A proteomic signature consisting of 7 mass spectrometry signals was used for construction of a proteomic model for detection of PDAC patients. Using the test cohort, we confirmed that this proteomic model had discrimination power equal to that observed with the training cohort. The overall sensitivity and specificity for detection of cancer patients were 82.6% and 90.9%, respectively. Notably, 62.5% of the stage I and II cases were detected by our proteomic model. We also found that 100% of autoimmune pancreatitis patients were correctly assigned as noncancerous individuals. In the present paper, we developed a proteomic model that was shown able to detect early-stage PDAC patients. In addition, our model appeared capable of discriminating patients with autoimmune pancreatitis from those with PDAC.

    Lung cancers with neuroendocrine (NE) features are often very aggressive but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. The transcription factor ASH1/ASCL1 is a master regulator of pulmonary NE cell development that is involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancers with NE features (NE-lung cancers). Here we report the definition of the microRNA miR-375 as a key downstream effector of ASH1 function in NE-lung cancer cells. miR-375 was markedly induced by ASH1 in lung cancer cells where it was sufficient to induce NE differentiation. miR-375 upregulation was a prerequisite for ASH1-mediated induction of NE features. The transcriptional coactivator YAP1 was determined to be a direct target of miR-375. YAP1 showed a negative correlation with miR-375 in a panel of lung cancer cell lines and growth inhibitory activities in NE-lung cancer cells. Our results elucidate an ASH1 effector axis in NE-lung cancers that is functionally pivotal in controlling NE features and the alleviation from YAP1-mediated growth inhibition.

    We previously identified PSMD2, a subunit of the 19S regulatory complex of proteasomes, as a constituent of a signature associated with the acquisition of metastatic phenotype and poor prognosis in lung cancers. In the present study, we found that knockdown of PSMD2 decreased proteasome activity, and induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in lung cancer cell lines. These effects of siRNA-mediated PSMD2 inhibition were associated with changes in the balance between phosphorylated AKT and p38, as well as with induction of p21. In addition, patients with higher PSMD2 expression had poorer prognosis and a small fraction of lung cancer specimens carried increased copies of PSMD2. Notably, our findings clearly illustrate that lung adenocarcinomas can be divided into two groups; those with and without general upregulation of proteasome pathway genes including PSMD2. This general upregulation was significantly more prevalent in the non-terminal respiratory unit (non-TRU)-type, a recently proposed genetically and clinicopathologically relevant expression profile-defined classification of adenocarcinomas (P &lt; 0.001 by Fisher's exact test). Patients with adenocarcinomas with general upregulation had significantly shorter survival after potentially curative resection (P=0.0001 by log-rank test) independent of disease stage, as shown by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Our results suggest that PSMD2 may be a good molecular target candidate and that other co-regulated proteasome pathway genes and/or their common regulator(s) might also be potential targets, warranting future study including elucidation of the underlying common regulatory mechanism.

    Various stresses of the tumor microenvironment produced by insufficient nutrients, pH, and oxygen can contribute to the generation of altered metabolic and proliferative states that promote the survival of metastatic cells. Among many cellular stress-response pathways activated under such conditions are the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway and the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is elicited as a response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In this study, we report the identification of a novel cancer invasion and metastasis-related gene (hereafter referred to as CIM, also called ERLEC1), which influences both of these stress-response pathways to promote metastasis. CIM was identified by comparing the gene expression profile of a highly metastatic human lung cancer cell line with its weakly metastatic parental clone. We showed that CIM is critical for metastatic properties in this system. Proteomic approaches combined with bioinformatic analyses revealed that CIM has multifaceted roles in controlling the response to hypoxia and ER stress. Specifically, CIM sequestered OS-9 from the HIF-1 alpha complex and PHD2, permitting HIF-1 alpha accumulation by preventing its degradation. Ectopic expression of CIM in lung cancer cells increased their tolerance to hypoxia. CIM also modulated UPR through interaction with the key ER stress protein BiP, influencing cell proliferation under ER stress conditions. Our findings shed light on how tolerance to multiple cellular stresses at a metastatic site can be evoked by an integrated mechanism involving CIM, which can function to coordinate those responses in a manner that promotes metastatic cell survival.

    Genomic instability is an important factor in cancer susceptibility, but a mechanistic understanding of how it arises remains unclear. We examined hypothesized contributions of the replicative DNA polymerase delta (pol delta) subunit POLD4 to the generation of genomic instability in lung cancer. In examinations of 158 lung cancers and 5 mixtures of 10 normal lungs, cell cycle- and checkpoint-related genes generally showed mRNA expression increases in cancer, whereas POLD4 showed reduced mRNA in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). A fraction of non-small cell lung cancer patients also showed low expression comparable with that in SCLC, which was associated with poor prognosis. The lung cancer cell line ACC-LC-48 was found to have low POLD4 expression, with higher histone H3K9 methylation and lower acetylation in the POLD4 promoter, as compared with the A549 cell line with high POLD4 expression. In the absence of POLD4, pol delta exhibited impaired in vitro DNA synthesis activity. Augmenting POLD4 expression in cells where it was attenuated altered the sensitivity to the chemical carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide. Conversely, siRNA-mediated reduction of POLD4 in cells with abundant expression resulted in a cell cycle delay, checkpoint activation, and an elevated frequency of chromosomal gap/break formation. Overexpression of an engineered POLD4 carrying silent mutations at the siRNA target site rescued these phenotypes, firmly establishing the role of POLD4 in these effects. Furthermore, POLD4 overexpression reduced intrinsically high induction of gamma-H2AX, a well-accepted marker of double-stranded DNA breaks. Together, our findings suggest that reduced expression of POLD4 plays a role in genomic instability in lung cancer. Cancer Res; 70(21); 8407-16. (C) 2010 AACR.

    While widespread metastasis is the major cause of human lung cancer-related deaths, its underlying mechanism remains largely unclear. Our genome-wide comparison of the expression profiles of a highly metastatic lung cancer cell line, NCI-H460-LNM35 (LNM35), and its parental clone NCI-H460-N15 (N15), resulted in the identification of a cancer metastasis signature composed of 45 genes. Through gene ontology analysis, our study also provided insights into how this 45-gene metastasis signature may contribute to the acquisition of metastatic potential. Furthermore, we were able to show that enforced expression of the DLX4 homeobox gene, which was identified as a gene with significant down-regulation in LNM35 as well as with significant association with favorable prognosis for lung cancer patients, markedly inhibited in vitro motility and invasion as well as in vivo metastasis via both hematogenous and lymphogenous routes. We further identified a novel gene, uncharacterized gene, which is associated with lung cancer metastasis. We confirmed upregulation of its gene expression in a significant fraction of human lung adenocarcinomas cases as well as lung cancer cell lines. Taken together, these findings indicate that our combined transcriptome analysis is an efficient approach to searching for genes possessing both clinical usefulness in terms of prognostic prediction in human cancer cases and clear functional relevance for studying cancer biology in relation to metastasis. © 2009 The Japan Lung Cancer Society.

    Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) involves PCNA mono-ubiquitination and TLS DNA polymerases (pols). Recent evidence has shown that the mono-ubiquitination is induced not only by DNA damage but also by other factors that induce stalling of the DNA replication fork. We studied the effect of spontaneous DNA replication errors on PCNA mono-ubiquitination and TLS induction. In the pol1L868F strain, which expressed an error-prone pol alpha, PCNA was spontaneously mono-ubiquitinated. Pol alpha L868F had a rate-limiting step at the extension from mismatched primer termini. Electron microscopic observation showed the accumulation of a single-stranded region at the DNA replication fork in yeast cells. For pol alpha errors, pol zeta participated in a generation of +1 frameshifts. Furthermore, in the pol1L868F strain, UV-induced mutations were lower than in the wild-type and a pol delta mutant strain (pol3-5DV), and deletion of the RAD30 gene (pol eta) suppressed this defect. These data suggest that nucleotide misincorporation by pol alpha induces exposure of single-stranded DNA, PCNA mono-ubiquitination and activates TLS pols.

    Purpose
    In order to aid the development of patient-tailored therapeutics, we attempted to identify a relapse-related signature that allows selection of a group of adenocarcinoma patients with a high probability of relapse.
    Patients and Methods
    Whole-genome expression profiles were analyzed in 117 lung adenocarcinoma samples using microarrays consisting of 41,000 probes. A weighted voting classifier for identifying patients with a relapse-related signature was constructed with an approach that allowed no information leakage during each training step, using 10-fold cross-validation and 100 random partitioning procedures.
    Results
    We identified a relapse-related molecular signature represented by 82 probes (RRS-82) through genome-wide expression profiling analysis of a training set of 60 patients. The robustness of RRS-82 in the selection of patients with a high probability of relapse was then validated with a completely blinded test set of 27 adenocarcinoma patients, showing a clear association of high risk RRS-82 with very poor patient prognosis regardless of disease stage. The discriminatory power of RRS-82 was further validated using an additional independent cohort of 30 stage I patients who underwent surgery at a distinct period of time as well as with the Duke data set on a different platform. Furthermore, completely separate training and validation procedures using another data set recently reported by the Director&apos;s Challenge Consortium also successfully confirmed the predictive power of the genes comprising RRS-82.
    Conclusion
    RRS-82 may be useful for identifying adenocarcinoma patients at very high risk for relapse, even those with cancer in the early stage.

    There is marked disparity with a slight overlap among prognosis-predictive signatures reported thus far for lung cancers. In this study, we aimed at linking poor prognosis with particular pathways and/or functions of the gene sets involved to better understand the underlying molecular characteristics associated with the prognosis of lung adenocarcinomas. Gene set enrichment analysis identified a gene set down-regulated by rapamycin as the most significant, whereas several others responsive to withdrawal of glucose or amino acids, which are related to signaling converging onto mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), were also shown to be significantly associated, in addition to those related to DNA damage response and cell cycle progression. We also used connectivity map (C-MAP) analysis, an independent bioinformatics approach, to search for Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs that potentially transform an unfavorable signature to a favorable one. Those results identified inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mTOR, as well as unexpected drugs such as phenothiazine antipsychotics and resveratrol as potential candidates. Experimental validation revealed that the latter unexpected agents also inhibited signaling converging onto mTOR and exhibited antitumor activities. In addition, deregulation of multiple signaling converging onto mTOR was shown to be significantly associated with sensitivity to PI-103, a dual specificity PI3K/mTOR inhibitor that is not contained in the C-MAP database, lending further support for the connection. Our results clearly show the existence of gene set-definable, intrinsic heterogeneities in lung adenocarcinomas, which seem to be related to both clinical behavior and sensitivity to agents affecting the identified pathways.

    The proneural basic-helix-loop-helix protein achaete-scute homologue I (ASH1) is expressed in a very limited spectrum of normal and cancerous cells in a lineage-specific manner, including normal pulmonary neuroendocrine cells and lung cancer cells with neuroendocrine features. Our previous results indicated that ASH1 may play a crucial role in the growth and survival of lung cancers with neuroendocrine features, which prompted us to investigate the molecular function of ASH1 in relation to its involvement in carcinogenic processes. Herein, we report for the first time that ASH1 functions as a dual transcription factor by activating neuroendocrine differentiation markers and also repressing putative tumor suppressors. This protein was found to inactivate DKK1 and DKK3, negative regulators of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, E-cadherin, and integrin 01 through ASH1-mediated deacetylation and repressive trimethylation of lysine 27 (H3K27me3) of histone H3 in the promoter regions of DKK1 and E-cadherin. In addition, ASH1-transduced A549 adenocarcinoma cells exhibited markedly altered morphology characteristics compared with lung cancer cells with neuroendocrine features both in vitro and in vivo and also grew faster in vivo. Our results provide important clues for a better understanding of the molecular and cellular biological roles of ASH1 in the process of carcinogenesis of lung cancers with neuroendocrine features and warrant future investigations to shed light on the lineage-specific dependency of this transcription factor with dual functions.

    Emerging evidence, although currently very sparse, suggests the presence of "lineage-specific dependency" in the survival mechanisms of certain cancers. TTF-1 has a decisive role as a master regulatory transcription factor in lung development and in the maintenance of the functions of terminal respiratory unit (TRU) cells. We show that a subset of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines expressing TTF-1, which presumably represent those derived from the TRU lineage, exhibit marked dependence on the persistent expression of TTF-1. The inhibition of TTF-1 by RNA interference (RNAi) significantly and specifically induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in these adenocarcinoma cell lines. Furthermore, a fraction of TTF-1-expressing tumors and cell lines displayed an increase in the gene dosage of TTF-1 in the analysis of 214 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, including 174 adenocarcinomas, showing a tendency of higher frequency of increased gene copies at metastatic sites than at primary sites (P = 0.07, by two-sided Fisher&apos;s exact test). These findings strongly suggest that in addition to the development and maintenance of TRU lineages in normal lung, sustained TTF-1 expression may be crucial for the survival of a subset of adenocarcinomas that express TTF-1, providing credence for the lineage-specific dependency model.

    Background Among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), those with poor prognosis cannot be distinguished from those with good prognosis.
    Methods Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry was used to analyze protein profiles of 174 specimens from NSCLC tumors and 27 specimens from normal lung tissue and to derive a prognosis-associated proteomic signature. Frozen resected tissue specimens were randomly divided into a training set (116 NSCLC and 20 normal lung specimens) and an independent, blinded validation set (58 NSCLC and seven normal lung specimens). Mass spectrometry signals from training set specimens that were differentially associated with specimens from patients with a high risk of recurrence (i.e., who died within 5 years of surgical treatment because of relapse) compared with those from patients with a low risk of recurrence (i.e., alive with no symptoms of relapse after a median follow-up of 89 months) were selected by use of the Fisher's exact test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the significance analysis of microarray test. These signals were used to build an individualized, weighted voting-based prognostic signature. The signature was then validated in the independent dataset. Survival was assessed by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Proteins corresponding to individual signals were identified by ion-trap mass spectrometry coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography. All statistical tests were two-sided.
    Results From 2630 mass spectrometry signals from specimens in the training cohort, we derived a signature of 25 signals that was associated with both relapse-free survival and overall survival. Among stage I NSCLC patients in the validation set, the signature was statistically significantly associated with both overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] of death for patients in the high-risk group compared with those in the low-risk group = 61.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 8.9 to 419.2, P&lt;.001) and relapse-free survival (HR of relapse = 11.7, 95% CI = 3.1 to 44.8, P&lt;.001). Proteins corresponding to signals in the signature were identified that had various cellular functions, including ribosomal protein L26-like 1, acylphosphatase, and phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes 15.
    Conclusions We defined a mass spectrometry signature that was associated with survival among NSCLC patients and appeared to distinguish those with poor prognosis from those with good prognosis.

    Purpose
    This study was conducted to gain insight into the relationship between expression profiles and underlying genetic changes, which are known to be important for the pathogenesis of lung cancers.
    Methods
    Expression profiles of 18,175 unique genes and three major targets for genetic changes, p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, and K-ras, were investigated in 149 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, including 90 patients with adenocarcinoma to determine their relationships with various clinicopathologic features and Gene Ontology (GO) terms.
    Results
    This study successfully established a basis for expression profile-defined classification, which can classify adenocarcinomas into two major types, terminal respiratory unit (TRU) type and non-TRU type. Our GO term-based identifier of particular biologic processes, molecular functions, and cellular compartments clearly showed characteristic retention of normal peripheral lung features in TRU type, in sharp contrast to the significant association of non-TRU type with cell cycling and proliferation-related features. While significantly higher frequency of EGFR mutation was observed in TRU type, we found that the presence of EGFR mutations was a significant predictor of shorter postoperative survival for TRU type, independent of disease stage. We were also able to identify a set of genes in vivo with significant upregulation in the presence of EGFR mutations.
    Conclusion
    This study has shed light on heterogeneity in lung cancers, especially in adenocarcinomas, by establishing a molecularly, genetically, and clinically relevant, expression profile-defined classification. Future studies using independent patient cohorts are warranted to confirm the prognostic significance of EGFR mutations in TRU-type adenocarcinoma.

    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs, thought to be involved in physiologic and developmental processes by negatively regulating expression of target genes. We have previously reported frequent down-regulation of the let-7 miRNA family in lung cancers and, in the present study, assessed alteration in a panel of 19 lung cancer cell lines. As a result, we found for the first time that the miR-17-92 cluster, which comprises seven miRNAs and resides in intron 3 of the C13orf25 gene at 13q31.3, is markedly overexpressed in lung cancers, especially with small-cell lung cancer histology. Southern blot analysis revealed the presence of increased gene copy numbers of the miRNA cluster in a fraction of lung cancer cell lines with overexpression. In addition, we were able to show predominant localization of C13orf25 transcripts within the nucleus and introduction of the expression construct of the miR-17-92 cluster, but not the putative open reading frame of C13orf25, enhancing lung cancer cell growth. These findings clearly suggest that marked overexpression of the miR-17-92 cluster with occasional gene amplification may play a role in the development of lung cancers, especially in their most aggressive form, small-cell lung cancer, and that the C13orf25 gene may well be serving as a vehicle in this regard.

    Lung cancers have become the leading cause of cancer deaths in Japan, claiming more than 55 000 lives annually. Unfortunately, substantial improvement in terms of cure rates has not been achieved over the last two decades, although during the same period of time in-depth basic knowledge of the molecular mechanisms, which underlies carcinogenesis and progression of this deadly group of neoplasms, has accumulated at an amazing pace. it has consequently become evident that they have many shared but also distinct features, when comparisons are made not only with other common epithelial cancers of adults, such as colon cancer, but also within the various histologic types of lung cancers themselves. This review article provides an up-date on cutting-edge research into the following three different topics, from which important new insights have been obtained. The first concerns genetic instability, especially chromosome instability, and checkpoint failure in lung cancers. Second, we deal with EGFR mutations, which shows revealing specificities in various aspects. Finally, advances in the expression profiling analysis of both transcriptomes and proteomes of lung cancers are summarized.

    Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA, which are well-conserved, abundant and small regulatory RNA, may be involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers. We recently reported that expression of let-7 was frequently reduced in lung cancers, and that reduced let-7 expression was significantly associated with shorter patient survival. Two members of the double-stranded RNA-specific endonuclease family, Dicer and Drosha, convert precursor forms of microRNA into their mature forms using a stepwise process. In the present study, we examined expression levels of these genes in 67 non-small cell lung cancer cases, and found for the first time that Dicer expression levels were reduced in a fraction of lung cancers with a significant prognostic impact on the survival of surgically treated cases. It should be noted that multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the prognostic impact of Dicer (P = 0.001) appears to be independent of disease stage (P = 0.001), while logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the higher incidence of reduced Dicer expression in poorly differentiated tumors remained significant even after correction for other parameters (P = 0.02). Given the fundamental and multiple biological roles of Dicer in various cellular processes, our results suggest the involvement of reduced Dicer expression in the development of lung cancers, thus warranting further investigations of the underlying mechanisms, which can be expected to enhance understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of this fatal cancer.

    Background: Screening of various gene markers such as single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) and correlation between these markers and development of multifactorial disease have previously been studied. Here, we propose a susceptible marker-selectable artificial neural network ( ANN) for predicting development of allergic disease.
    Results: To predict development of childhood allergic asthma (CAA) and select susceptible SNPs, we used an ANN with a parameter decreasing method (PDM) to analyze 25 SNPs of 17 genes in 344 Japanese people, and select 10 susceptible SNPs of CAA. The accuracy of the ANN model with 10 SNPs was 97.7% for learning data and 74.4% for evaluation data. Important combinations were determined by effective combination value (ECV) defined in the present paper. Effective 2-SNP or 3-SNP combinations were found to be concentrated among the 10 selected SNPs.
    Conclusion: ANN can reliably select SNP combinations that are associated with CAA. Thus, the ANN can be used to characterize development of complex diseases caused by multiple factors. This is the first report of automatic selection of SNPs related to development of multifactorial disease from SNP data of more than 300 patients.

    Individualized outcome prediction classifiers were successfully constructed through expression pro. ling of a total of 8644 genes in 50 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases, which had been consecutively operated on within a defined short period of time and followed up for more than 5 years. The resultant classifier of NSCLCs yielded 82% accuracy for forecasting survival or death 5 years after surgery of a given patient. In addition, since two major histologic classes may differ in terms of outcome-related expression signatures, histologic-type-specific outcome classifiers were also constructed. The resultant highly predictive classifiers, designed specifically for nonsquamous cell carcinomas, showed a prediction accuracy of more than 90% independent of disease stage. In addition to the presence of heterogeneities in adenocarcinomas, our unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis revealed for the first time the existence of clinicopathologically relevant subclasses of squamous cell carcinomas with marked differences in their invasive growth and prognosis. This finding clearly suggests that NSCLCs comprise distinct subclasses with considerable heterogeneities even within one histologic type. Overall, these findings should advance not only our understanding of the biology of lung cancer but also our ability to individualize postoperative therapies based on the predicted outcome.

    In this study, we report for the first time reduced expression of the let-7 microRNA in human lung cancers. Interestingly, 143 lung cancer cases that had undergone potentially curative resection could be classified into two major groups according to let-7 expression in unsupervised hierarchical analysis, showing significantly shorter survival after potentially curative resection in cases with reduced let-7 expression (P = 0.0003). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed this prognostic impact to be independent of disease stage (hazard ratio = 2.17; P = 0.009). In addition, overexpression of let-7 in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line inhibited lung cancer cell growth in vitro. This study represents the first report of reduced expression of let-7 and the potential clinical and biological effects of such a microRNA alteration.

    Purpose Recently, several expression-profiling experiments have shown that adenocarcinoma can be classified into subgroups that also reflect patient survival. In this study, we examined the expression patterns of 44 genes selected by these studies to test whether their expression patterns were relevant to prognosis in our cohort as well, and to create a prognostic model applicable to clinical practice,
    Patients and Methods Expression levels were determined in 85 adenocarcinoma patients by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Cluster analysis was performed, and a prognostic model was created by the proportional hazards model using a stepwise method.
    Results Hierarchical clustering divided the cases into three major groups, and group B, comprising 21 cases, had significantly poor survival (P = .0297). Next, we tried to identify a smaller number of genes of particular predictive value, and eight genes (PTK7, CIT, SCNN1A, PGES, ERO1L, ZWINT, and two ESTs) were selected. We then calculated a risk index that was defined as a linear combination of gene expression values weighted by their estimated regression coefficients. The risk index was a significant independent prognostic factor (P = .0021) by multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the robustness of this model was confirmed using an independent set of 21 patients (P = .0085).
    Conclusion By analyzing a reasonably small number of genes, patients with adenocarcinoma could be stratified according to their prognosis. The prognostic model could be applicable to future decisions concerning treatment.

    Inferring genetic networks from gene expression data is the most challenging work in the postgenomic era. However, most studies tend to show their genetic network inference ability by using artificial data. Here, we developed the fuzzy adaptive resonance theory associated matrix (F-ART matrix) method to infer genetic networks and applied it to experimental time series data, which are gene expression profiles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae responding under oxidative stresses such as diamide, heat shock and H2O2. We preprocessed them using the fuzzy adaptive resonance theory and successfully identified genetic interactions by drawing a 2-dimensional matrix. The identified interactions between diamide and heat shock stress were confirmed to be the common interactions for two stresses, compared with the KEGG metabolic map, BRITE protein interaction map, and gene interaction data of other papers. In the predicted common genetic network, the hit ratio was 60% for the KEGG map. Several gene interactions were also drawn, which have been reported to be important in oxidative stress. This result suggests that F-ART matrix has the potential to function as a new method to extract the common genetic networks of two different stresses using experimental time series microarray data.

    Motivation: It is well understood that the successful clustering of expression profiles give beneficial ideas to understand the functions of uncharacterized genes. In order to realize such a successful clustering, we investigate a clustering method based on adaptive resonance theory (ART) in this report.
    Results: We apply Fuzzy ART as a clustering method for analyzing the time series expression data during sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The clustering result by Fuzzy ART was compared with those by other clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering, k-means algorithm and self-organizing maps (SOMs). In terms of the mathematical validations, Fuzzy ART achieved the most reasonable clustering. We also verified the robustness of Fuzzy ART using noised data. Furthermore, we defined the correctness ratio of clustering, which is based on genes whose temporal expressions are characterized biologically. Using this definition, it was proved that the clustering ability of Fuzzy ART was superior to other clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering, k-means algorithm and SOMs. Finally, we validate the clustering results by Fuzzy ART in terms of biological functions and evidence.

    The purpose of this study was to develop a novel diagnostic prediction method for allergic diseases from the data of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an artificial neural network (ANN). We applied the prediction method to four allergic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic conjunctivitis (AC), allergic rhinitis (AR) and bronchial asthma (BA), and verified its predictive ability. Almost all the learning data were precisely predicted. Regarding the evaluation data, the learned ANN model could correctly predict a diagnosis with more than 78% accuracy. We also analyzed the SNP data using multiple regression analysis (MRA). Using the MRA model, less than 10% of patients with the above allergic diseases were correctly diagnosed, while this figure was more than 75% for persons without allergic diseases. From these results, it was shown that the ANN model was superior to the MRA model with respect to predictive ability of allergic diseases. Moreover, we used two different methods to convert the genetic polymorphism data into numerical data. Using both methods, diagnostic predictions were quite precise and almost the same predictive abilities were observed. This is the first study showing the application and usefulness of an ANN for the prediction of allergic diseases based on SNP data.

    In order to realize control of activated sludge process, a simulation model for effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD) was constructed using the time series data of three months. Here, the recursive fuzzy neural network (RFNN) was applied for the simulation. The simulation model could estimate effluent COD value with relatively high accuracy (average error: 0.68 mg/l). Next, to control effluent COD value to the desirable level, the search system for the values of the control variables, dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) and mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS), was constructed using the genetic algorithm (GA) and GA with the reliability index (R1), called as RIGA. In search for DO and MLSS values, accuracy of GA search system was high (average error: 0.16 mg/l for DO and 214 mg/l for MLSS) and accuracy of RIGA search system was higher than GA (average error: 0.11 mg/l for DO and 144 mg/l for MLSS). Then, the search using RIGA was further extended for one-year data to check the ability of this system. As a result, the constructed system could search DO and MLSS values with the average errors of 0.10 mg/l and 162 mg/l, respectively.

    In order to construct a simulation model for estimating the effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD) value of an activated sludge process in a "U" plant, fuzzy neural network (FNN) was applied. The constructed FNN model could simulate periodic changes in COD with high accuracy. Comparing the simulation result obtained using the FNN model with that obtained using the multiple regression analysis (MRA) model, it was found that the FNN model had 3.7 times lower error than the MRA model. The FNN models corresponding to each of the four seasons were also constructed. Analyzing the fuzzy rules acquired from the FNN models after learning, the operational characteristic of this plant could be elucidated.

    PURPOSE: The impact of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) on the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unclear. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We retrospectively identified 138 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who underwent rebiopsy after progression during EGFR-TKI treatment. PD-L1 and CD73 expression in tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density at baseline and after progression were determined by IHC. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was determined by next-generation sequencing. RESULTS: The proportion of patients with a PD-L1 expression level of ≥50% (high) increased from 14% before to 28% after EGFR-TKI (P = 0.0010). Whereas CD8+ and FOXP3+ TIL densities were significantly lower after EGFR-TKI treatment than before, CD8+ TIL density was maintained in tumors with a high PD-L1 expression level. Expression of CD73 in tumor cells after EGFR-TKI treatment was higher than that before in patients with a high PD-L1 expression level. TMB tended to be higher after EGFR-TKI treatment than before (3.3→4.1 mutations/Mbp, P = 0.0508). Median progression-free survival for subsequent treatment with antibodies to PD-1 was longer for patients with a high than for those with a low PD-L1 expression after EGFR-TKI (7.1 vs. 1.7 months, P = 0.0033), and two of five patients whose PD-L1 expression level changed from low to high after EGFR-TKI treatment achieved a PFS of >6 months. CONCLUSIONS: EGFR-TKI treatment was associated with changes in the TME of EGFR-mutated NSCLC, and such changes may provide clues for optimization of subsequent PD-1 inhibitor treatment.

    INTRODUCTION: The highly selective ALK receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) inhibitor alectinib is standard therapy for ALK-positive lung cancers; however, some tumors quickly develop resistance. Here, we investigated the mechanism associated with rapid acquisition of resistance using clinical samples. METHODS: Autopsied samples were obtained from lung, liver, and renal tumors from a 51-year-old male patient with advanced ALK-positive lung cancer who had acquired resistance to alectinib in only 3 months. We established an alectinib-resistant cell line (ABC-14) from pleural effusion and an alectinib/crizotinib-resistant cell line (ABC-17) and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model from liver tumors. Additionally, we performed next-generation sequencing, direct DNA sequencing, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: ABC-14 cells harbored no ALK mutations and were sensitive to crizotinib while also exhibiting MNNG HOS transforming gene (MET) gene amplification and amphiregulin overexpression. Additionally, combined treatment with crizotinib/erlotinib inhibited cell growth. ABC-17 and PDX tumors harbored ALK G1202R, and PDX tumors metastasized to multiple organs in vivo, whereas the third-generation ALK-inhibitor, lorlatinib, diminished tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Next-generation sequencing indicated high tumor mutation burden and heterogeneous tumor evolution. The autopsied lung tumors harbored ALK G1202R (c. 3604 G>A) and the right renal metastasis harbored ALK G1202R (c. 3604 G>C); the mutation thus comprised different codon changes. CONCLUSIONS: High tumor mutation burden and heterogeneous tumor evolution might be responsible for rapid acquisition of alectinib resistance. Timely lorlatinib administration or combined therapy with an ALK inhibitor and other receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors might constitute a potent strategy.

    Although widespread metastasis is the major cause of human lung cancer-related deaths, its underlying mechanism remains largely unclear. Our genome-wide comparison of the expression profiles of a highly metastatic lung cancer cell line, NCI-H460-LNM35 (LNM35), and its parental clone, NCI-H460-N15 (N15), resulted in the identification of a cancer metastasis signature composed of 45 genes. Through gene ontology analysis, our study also provided insights into how this 45-gene metastasis signature may contribute to the acquisition of metastatic potential. By applying the signature to datasets of human cancer cases, we could demonstrate significant associations with a subset of cases with poor prognosis not only for the two datasets of cancers of the lung but also for cancers of the breast. Furthermore, we were able to show that enforced expression of the DLX4 homeobox gene, which was identified as a gene with significant downregulation in LNM35 as well as with significant association with favorable prognosis for lung cancer patients, markedly inhibited in vitro motility and invasion as well as in vivo metastasis via both hematogenous and lymphogenous routes. Taken together, these findings indicate that our combined transcriptome analysis is an efficient approach in the search for genes possessing both clinical usefulness in terms of prognostic prediction in human cancer cases and clear functional relevance for studying cancer biology in relation to metastasis.

    Emerging evidence, although currently very sparse, suggests the presence of "lineage-specific dependency" in the survival mechanisms of certain cancers. TTF-1 has a decisive role as a master regulatory transcription factor in lung development and in the maintenance of the functions of terminal respiratory unit (TRU) cells. We show that a subset of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines expressing TTF-1, which presumably represent those derived from the TRU lineage, exhibit marked dependence on the persistent expression of TTF-1. The inhibition of TTF-1 by RNA interference (RNAi) significantly and specifically induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in these adenocarcinoma cell lines. Furthermore, a fraction of TTF-1-expressing tumors and cell lines displayed an increase in the gene dosage of TTF-1 in the analysis of 214 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, including 174 adenocarcinomas, showing a tendency of higher frequency of increased gene copies at metastatic sites than at primary sites (P = 0.07, by two-sided Fisher&apos;s exact test). These findings strongly suggest that in addition to the development and maintenance of TRU lineages in normal lung, sustained TTF-1 expression may be crucial for the survival of a subset of adenocarcinomas that express TTF-1, providing credence for the lineage-specific dependency model.

    Background Among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), those with poor prognosis cannot be distinguished from those with good prognosis.
    Methods Matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry was used to analyze protein profiles of 174 specimens from NSCLC tumors and 27 specimens from normal lung tissue and to derive a prognosis-associated proteomic signature. Frozen resected tissue specimens were randomly divided into a training set (116 NSCLC and 20 normal lung specimens) and an independent, blinded validation set (58 NSCLC and seven normal lung specimens). Mass spectrometry signals from training set specimens that were differentially associated with specimens from patients with a high risk of recurrence (i.e., who died within 5 years of surgical treatment because of relapse) compared with those from patients with a low risk of recurrence (i.e., alive with no symptoms of relapse after a median follow-up of 89 months) were selected by use of the Fisher's exact test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the significance analysis of microarray test. These signals were used to build an individualized, weighted voting-based prognostic signature. The signature was then validated in the independent dataset. Survival was assessed by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Proteins corresponding to individual signals were identified by ion-trap mass spectrometry coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography. All statistical tests were two-sided.
    Results From 2630 mass spectrometry signals from specimens in the training cohort, we derived a signature of 25 signals that was associated with both relapse-free survival and overall survival. Among stage I NSCLC patients in the validation set, the signature was statistically significantly associated with both overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] of death for patients in the high-risk group compared with those in the low-risk group = 61.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 8.9 to 419.2, P&lt;.001) and relapse-free survival (HR of relapse = 11.7, 95% CI = 3.1 to 44.8, P&lt;.001). Proteins corresponding to signals in the signature were identified that had various cellular functions, including ribosomal protein L26-like 1, acylphosphatase, and phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes 15.
    Conclusions We defined a mass spectrometry signature that was associated with survival among NSCLC patients and appeared to distinguish those with poor prognosis from those with good prognosis.

    Purpose
    This study was conducted to gain insight into the relationship between expression profiles and underlying genetic changes, which are known to be important for the pathogenesis of lung cancers.
    Methods
    Expression profiles of 18,175 unique genes and three major targets for genetic changes, p53, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, and K-ras, were investigated in 149 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, including 90 patients with adenocarcinoma to determine their relationships with various clinicopathologic features and Gene Ontology (GO) terms.
    Results
    This study successfully established a basis for expression profile-defined classification, which can classify adenocarcinomas into two major types, terminal respiratory unit (TRU) type and non-TRU type. Our GO term-based identifier of particular biologic processes, molecular functions, and cellular compartments clearly showed characteristic retention of normal peripheral lung features in TRU type, in sharp contrast to the significant association of non-TRU type with cell cycling and proliferation-related features. While significantly higher frequency of EGFR mutation was observed in TRU type, we found that the presence of EGFR mutations was a significant predictor of shorter postoperative survival for TRU type, independent of disease stage. We were also able to identify a set of genes in vivo with significant upregulation in the presence of EGFR mutations.
    Conclusion
    This study has shed light on heterogeneity in lung cancers, especially in adenocarcinomas, by establishing a molecularly, genetically, and clinically relevant, expression profile-defined classification. Future studies using independent patient cohorts are warranted to confirm the prognostic significance of EGFR mutations in TRU-type adenocarcinoma.

    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs, thought to be involved in physiologic and developmental processes by negatively regulating expression of target genes. We have previously reported frequent down-regulation of the let-7 miRNA family in lung cancers and, in the present study, assessed alteration in a panel of 19 lung cancer cell lines. As a result, we found for the first time that the miR-17-92 cluster, which comprises seven miRNAs and resides in intron 3 of the C13orf25 gene at 13q31.3, is markedly overexpressed in lung cancers, especially with small-cell lung cancer histology. Southern blot analysis revealed the presence of increased gene copy numbers of the miRNA cluster in a fraction of lung cancer cell lines with overexpression. In addition, we were able to show predominant localization of C13orf25 transcripts within the nucleus and introduction of the expression construct of the miR-17-92 cluster, but not the putative open reading frame of C13orf25, enhancing lung cancer cell growth. These findings clearly suggest that marked overexpression of the miR-17-92 cluster with occasional gene amplification may play a role in the development of lung cancers, especially in their most aggressive form, small-cell lung cancer, and that the C13orf25 gene may well be serving as a vehicle in this regard.

    Emerging evidence suggests that microRNA, which are well-conserved, abundant and small regulatory RNA, may be involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers. We recently reported that expression of let-7 was frequently reduced in lung cancers, and that reduced let-7 expression was significantly associated with shorter patient survival. Two members of the double-stranded RNA-specific endonuclease family, Dicer and Drosha, convert precursor forms of microRNA into their mature forms using a stepwise process. In the present study, we examined expression levels of these genes in 67 non-small cell lung cancer cases, and found for the first time that Dicer expression levels were reduced in a fraction of lung cancers with a significant prognostic impact on the survival of surgically treated cases. It should be noted that multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the prognostic impact of Dicer (P = 0.001) appears to be independent of disease stage (P = 0.001), while logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the higher incidence of reduced Dicer expression in poorly differentiated tumors remained significant even after correction for other parameters (P = 0.02). Given the fundamental and multiple biological roles of Dicer in various cellular processes, our results suggest the involvement of reduced Dicer expression in the development of lung cancers, thus warranting further investigations of the underlying mechanisms, which can be expected to enhance understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of this fatal cancer.

    Lung cancers have become the leading cause of cancer deaths in Japan, claiming more than 55 000 lives annually. Unfortunately, substantial improvement in terms of cure rates has not been achieved over the last two decades, although during the same period of time in-depth basic knowledge of the molecular mechanisms, which underlies carcinogenesis and progression of this deadly group of neoplasms, has accumulated at an amazing pace. it has consequently become evident that they have many shared but also distinct features, when comparisons are made not only with other common epithelial cancers of adults, such as colon cancer, but also within the various histologic types of lung cancers themselves. This review article provides an up-date on cutting-edge research into the following three different topics, from which important new insights have been obtained. The first concerns genetic instability, especially chromosome instability, and checkpoint failure in lung cancers. Second, we deal with EGFR mutations, which shows revealing specificities in various aspects. Finally, advances in the expression profiling analysis of both transcriptomes and proteomes of lung cancers are summarized.

    Background: Screening of various gene markers such as single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) and correlation between these markers and development of multifactorial disease have previously been studied. Here, we propose a susceptible marker-selectable artificial neural network ( ANN) for predicting development of allergic disease.
    Results: To predict development of childhood allergic asthma (CAA) and select susceptible SNPs, we used an ANN with a parameter decreasing method (PDM) to analyze 25 SNPs of 17 genes in 344 Japanese people, and select 10 susceptible SNPs of CAA. The accuracy of the ANN model with 10 SNPs was 97.7% for learning data and 74.4% for evaluation data. Important combinations were determined by effective combination value (ECV) defined in the present paper. Effective 2-SNP or 3-SNP combinations were found to be concentrated among the 10 selected SNPs.
    Conclusion: ANN can reliably select SNP combinations that are associated with CAA. Thus, the ANN can be used to characterize development of complex diseases caused by multiple factors. This is the first report of automatic selection of SNPs related to development of multifactorial disease from SNP data of more than 300 patients.

    In this study, we report for the first time reduced expression of the let-7 microRNA in human lung cancers. Interestingly, 143 lung cancer cases that had undergone potentially curative resection could be classified into two major groups according to let-7 expression in unsupervised hierarchical analysis, showing significantly shorter survival after potentially curative resection in cases with reduced let-7 expression (P = 0.0003). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed this prognostic impact to be independent of disease stage (hazard ratio = 2.17; P = 0.009). In addition, overexpression of let-7 in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line inhibited lung cancer cell growth in vitro. This study represents the first report of reduced expression of let-7 and the potential clinical and biological effects of such a microRNA alteration.

    Purpose Recently, several expression-profiling experiments have shown that adenocarcinoma can be classified into subgroups that also reflect patient survival. In this study, we examined the expression patterns of 44 genes selected by these studies to test whether their expression patterns were relevant to prognosis in our cohort as well, and to create a prognostic model applicable to clinical practice,
    Patients and Methods Expression levels were determined in 85 adenocarcinoma patients by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Cluster analysis was performed, and a prognostic model was created by the proportional hazards model using a stepwise method.
    Results Hierarchical clustering divided the cases into three major groups, and group B, comprising 21 cases, had significantly poor survival (P = .0297). Next, we tried to identify a smaller number of genes of particular predictive value, and eight genes (PTK7, CIT, SCNN1A, PGES, ERO1L, ZWINT, and two ESTs) were selected. We then calculated a risk index that was defined as a linear combination of gene expression values weighted by their estimated regression coefficients. The risk index was a significant independent prognostic factor (P = .0021) by multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the robustness of this model was confirmed using an independent set of 21 patients (P = .0085).
    Conclusion By analyzing a reasonably small number of genes, patients with adenocarcinoma could be stratified according to their prognosis. The prognostic model could be applicable to future decisions concerning treatment.

    Motivation: It is well understood that the successful clustering of expression profiles give beneficial ideas to understand the functions of uncharacterized genes. In order to realize such a successful clustering, we investigate a clustering method based on adaptive resonance theory (ART) in this report.
    Results: We apply Fuzzy ART as a clustering method for analyzing the time series expression data during sporulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The clustering result by Fuzzy ART was compared with those by other clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering, k-means algorithm and self-organizing maps (SOMs). In terms of the mathematical validations, Fuzzy ART achieved the most reasonable clustering. We also verified the robustness of Fuzzy ART using noised data. Furthermore, we defined the correctness ratio of clustering, which is based on genes whose temporal expressions are characterized biologically. Using this definition, it was proved that the clustering ability of Fuzzy ART was superior to other clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering, k-means algorithm and SOMs. Finally, we validate the clustering results by Fuzzy ART in terms of biological functions and evidence.

    Language:English   Publisher:SOC CHEMICAL ENG JAPAN  

    Using a fuzzy neural network (FNN), we constructed a simulation model which estimates the effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD) value from daily routine measurements. Since the water quality of wastewater is changing day by day, an FNN model with a recursively renewing method of learning data (R-FNN) is proposed. With this R-FNN, Learning data used to construct an FNN model are renewed with elapsed time so as to estimate the effluent COD value with good accuracy. The estimation results for 9 weeks data using R-FNN were compared with those using a conventional FNN. The average error using the R-FNN model was 0.36 mg/l, while that using the conventional FNN was 1.50 mg/l. Moreover, estimation of the effluent COD throughout one year was carried out, and the average error was only 0.40 mg/l. This result can show the usefulness of the R-FNN for the simulation model of the activated sludge process.

    Fuzzy neural network (FNN) was applied to construct a simulation model for estimating the effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD) value of an activated sludge process in a "U" plant, in which most of process variables were measured once an hour. The constructed FNN model could simulate periodic changes in COD with high accuracy. Comparing the simulation result obtained using the FNN model with that obtained using the multiple regression analysis (MRA) model, it was found that the FNN model had 3.7 times higher accuracy than the MRA model. The FNN models corresponding to each of the four seasons were also constructed. Analyzing the fuzzy rules acquired from the FNN models after learning, the operational characteristic of this plant could be elucidated. Construction of the simulation model for another plant "A", in which process variables were measured once a day, was also carried out. This FNN model also had a relatively high accuracy.

    近年、免疫チェックポイント阻害剤の登場により、がん細胞周囲の微小環境(腫瘍微小環境)が治療標的として注目されている。三次元(3D)培養での腫瘍細胞は二次元(2D)培養と比べ、細胞間インタラクションが生体内に近く、腫瘍微小環境を反映していることが知られている。また、がん難治性に関与する幹細胞性の維持や治療抵抗性の評価にも従来の2D 培養によるアッセイ系よりも適している。申請者らは、その中でも腫瘍細胞の凝集形態には多様性があり、特にがんの悪性度が高い集団が存在することを発見した。本研究は、より生体内の環境を反映する3D 培養により肺がん細胞の特性を評価し、悪性度と関連する遺伝子を同定し、これを標的とする治療戦略の確立を目指すものである。
    令和3年度は、肺がん細胞株 (n = 30) を用いて3D 培養による細胞凝集塊の形態学的特徴の確認を進め、Grape-like, Spheroid, Monolayer sheet, Other typeの4つに分類した。また、腫瘍学的特徴を明らかにするために、これらの形態学的特徴と増殖能・浸潤能・遊走能の表現型との関連について解析を進めたところ、Monolayer sheet typeの細胞株は浸潤能・遊走能がSpheroid typeの細胞株よりも高いという結果であった。また、各肺がん細胞株のin vivoでの腫瘍形成能をマウスモデルを用いて検討を進めている。

    細胞外分泌小胞は細胞から分泌される30-100nmのエクソソームなどを含む微小な小胞である。細胞外分泌小胞の内部にはmicroRNAなどが含まれている。最近の研究によって、細胞外分泌小胞が、分泌された元の細胞から、小胞の取り込まれた別の細胞へ小胞内に含まれる物質などを送達し、取り込まれた細胞に影響を及ぼす、つまり細胞間情報伝達機構を担っていることが明らかとなってきた。
    細胞外分泌小胞の作用メカニズムとして細胞に取り込まれた細胞外分泌小胞の内部に含まれているmicroRNAが取り込まれた細胞内で標的RNAに作用すると考えられるなど、その疾患における役割が注目を集めている。
    本研究では、細胞外分泌小胞の表面分子と、取り込む細胞という二つの因子に着目して、それぞれがどのように取り込み機構にかかわっているのかを明らかにする。さらに、組織由来細胞外分泌小胞に着目し、その性質・情報伝達について明らかにすることを目的とする。
    本年度は赤色蛍光標識した細胞外分泌小胞を恒常的に発現するHEK293細胞が軟骨細胞または滑膜細胞と直接接することなく、エクソソームなどは通過できる特殊な水平型分離共培養実験系を用いた。水平型分離共培養装置を用いて検討したところ、HEK293細胞から分泌された細胞外分泌小胞が軟骨細胞および滑膜細胞へそれぞれ取り込まれることが明らかとなった。さらに、取り込み機序に関わる表面分子に着目した。この分子に対する特異的抗体を用いた検討により軟骨細胞および滑膜細胞への取り込みを検討した。

    研究の目的は、治療抵抗性・ドライバー遺伝子変異陽性肺がんが依存するパスウェイを狙い撃ちする次世代精密医療の基盤を築くことにある。具体的には、治療抵抗性症例において遺伝子発現レベルで活性化しているパスウェイを抽出し、ドライバー遺伝子変異の抑制とシナジー効果の高い標的パスウェイをドラッグリポジショニング解析などのin silico解析を駆使して評価することにより、治療抵抗性を示すドライバー遺伝子変異陽性の肺がん症例が依存するパスウェイを狙い撃ちする次世代精密医療を検討する。今年度はドライバー遺伝子変異としてMET遺伝子増幅を有するEBC1肺がん細胞株を用いて、MET阻害剤(クリゾチニブ)の耐性メカニズムを解明した。クリゾチニブ耐性株(CRS株)を取得し、網羅的な遺伝子発現プロファイル解析の結果、異なるドライバー遺伝子Xの発現亢進を確認した。このドライバー遺伝子Xに対する阻害剤を用いた併用療法により効果的な増殖抑制効果を認めた。また異なる方法で取得したクリゾチニブ耐性株(CRH株)では、遺伝子Yの発現亢進を確認した。遺伝子Yを標的としたshRNAによる遺伝子発現の抑制とクリゾチニブを併用したところ、より効果的な増殖抑制効果を認めた。これらの結果は、クリゾチニブ耐性獲得肺がんに対する効果的な併用療法の可能性を示している。

    現在までに家族性肺癌が疑われる7家系について、複数の対象者から同意と採血検体を取得している。全体で30検体以上に及ぶため、全ての検体について解析を行う事は、費用と労力の面で現実的ではないと判断し、優先順位を決定した。それぞれの家系について、家系図から検体が得られている対象者の組み合わせの確認と病歴の精査を行った。
    候補となった1つの家系については、姉妹で肺癌検体のコンパニオン診断でEGFR Exon21 L858Rの変異が見られた。EGFR Exon21 L858Rについては既に家族性腫瘍の報告があり、既知の家族性遺伝子変異の可能性もあったため、子の世代についても肺癌の検体からRT-PCRを行ったところEGFR Exon19 delであった。EGFRの不安定性を来す、がん遺伝子が発癌に関わっている可能性が考えられた興味深い家系であったが、それを検索するためには非肺癌対象者を含めて、多数の家族からの協力が必要であり、そこまでの協力が得られなかったため、解析は保留中である。
    残る、候補となっている2家系は、比較的若年の40~50代で肺癌が発見され、3世代に渡っている1家系と、多発肺癌が家族性に見られている1家系である。まず、それぞれの家系について、がん遺伝子パネル検査により、既知の発癌遺伝子で胚細胞性の変異が見られないか検索するため、肺癌検体のパラフィンブロックを取り寄せている。これらの家系については、複数の非肺癌患者からも協力が得られ、既に採血検体から核酸を抽出し、エクソソームシーケンスを予定している。

    EGFR 変異を有する肺癌は、日本人を含む東アジア人の非喫煙者に発生する肺癌の中で、最も高頻度なタイプである。EGFRチロシンキナーゼ阻害薬(TKI)が一過性に奏効するが、治療耐性化が必発で残念ながら治癒に至らない。また特に喫煙関連の肺癌の内一定の割合で免疫チェックポイント阻害薬(ICI)の劇的な効果の恩恵を享受しているが、不合理なことに喫煙との関連が低いEGFR肺癌に対するICIの効果が乏しく、未解決の重要課題である。申請者らは、EGFR変異を有する肺癌の病態を理解するため、免疫能が保持されたC57BL6ベースの遺伝子改変肺癌マウスモデルを樹立し特許を取得している。このマウス肺癌は、ヒト肺癌と同様にEGFRチロシンキナーゼ阻害薬に奏効するものの治療耐性化し治癒することはない。また抗PD-1抗体の効果が乏しい。
    岡山大学で発見されたREIC遺伝子はがん細胞選択的に免疫原性細胞死を誘導し、同時に局所および全身的な腫瘍免疫の活性化を誘導する作用があることが分かり、腫瘍免疫を活性化する薬剤として臨床開発が進んでいる。
    本研究では申請者らが独自に樹立したマウスモデルを用いて, 1. EGFR変異がどのように腫瘍免疫から逃避しているか? 2. REIC製剤はEGFR変異を有する肺癌の免疫原性の向上、腫瘍免疫の活性化を誘導するか? 3. REIC製剤と抗PD-1抗体の併用治療により革新的な抗腫瘍効果が得られるか?の検証を行い、臨床開発へ橋渡しを行う。
    本年度までに、REIC遺伝子をアデノウィルスベクターに組み込んだAd-SGE-REICがEGFR肺癌をnon-inflamed腫瘍からinflamed腫瘍へ改変し、抗PD-1抗体との併用により抗腫瘍免疫を増強することを確認できた。

    天然歯や口腔インプラント義歯が長期的に良好な予後を維持するためには,歯頚部や口腔インプラント周囲に十分な幅の「角化した付着歯肉」が必要であると考えられている。我々は,角化歯肉に特異的に高発現している基底膜分子(Ⅳ型コラーゲン556, ⅩⅧ型コラーゲン,ラミニン332)を世界で初めて同定した.また,これらは上皮細胞から分泌され,上皮細胞の角化をオートクライン的に促進していること,さらには,付着・角化歯肉より採取した間葉細胞と口腔粘膜上皮細胞を共培養した場合にのみ,口腔粘膜上皮細胞の角化が促進されることを明らかとした.これらの研究成果から,基底膜直下に存在する角化歯肉由来間葉細胞と非角化歯肉由来間葉細胞の遺伝子発現の相違を明らかにすることで,上皮細胞の角化に関わっている間葉細胞からのシグナル分子を抽出することが可能であると考えた.そこで,レーザーマイクロダイセクション (LMD)法とRNA-Seq を組み合わせて,候補因子の抽出を実施してきた.具体的には,マウスの口蓋粘膜(角化粘膜) と頬粘膜(非角化粘膜)の凍結組織切片を作製, LMDにより上皮組織直下の間葉組織を採取したうえでRNAを抽出し,cDNAライブラリーを作製,シークエンス解析を行った.そして,非角化粘膜と比較し,角化粘膜の間葉組織に高発現する遺伝子を抽出を行ってきた.2021年度は,発現量に有意差があった遺伝子を用いて,Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA)にて上流解析を行い,粘膜の角化に関わる遺伝子を抽出した.そして,すでに確立している口腔粘膜を模倣した3次元培養モデルを用いて抽出された遺伝子の機能解析を実施した.その結果,候補遺伝子のリコンビナントタンパク質を培養液に添加することで上皮の角化が誘導されることが明らかとなった.次年度,in vivoにて候補遺伝子の機能解析を実施する予定である.

    The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of DAMPs-fibrosis pathways in lung fibrosis, especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and to develop a novel therapy for abnormal pulmonary fibrosis. S100A8 / A9, which is a representative protein of DAMPs, was highly expressed in lung tissue and plasma of IPF patients, suggesting a mechanism of promoting lung fibrosis by inflammation via S100A8 / A9 stimulation. The S100A8 / A9 protein induces fibroblast proliferation, inflammation, and fibrogenic activity via RAGE, and administration of anti-S100A8 / A9 neutralizing antibody suppresses this induction of fibrosis. It was shown that anti-S100A8 / A9 neutralizing antibody suppresses pulmonary fibrosis and improves prognosis in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis.

    Tumor stem cell marker DCLK1 is a protein that has two isoforms. The expression pattern of the isoforms in DCLK1 was different among malignant pleural mesothelioma cell lines. Meanwhile, normal mesothelial cell lines had no expression of DCLK1. Thus, we evaluated the effect of the isoform-specific inhibition of DCLK1 in malignant mesothelioma cell lines. Simultaneous inhibition of the isoforms in DCLK1 showed the antiproliferative effect in malignant pleural mesothelioma compared to the isoform-specific inhibition.

We showed that active fibroblasts induce activation of the STAT3 pathway in lung cancer cells, promoting cancer progression and the acquisition of drug resistance. The inflammatory mediators, S100A8 / 9 protein and HMGB1 protein, activate the proliferation and function of fibroblasts, promote the growth of cancer cells. These activations are suppressed by the administration of their respective neutralizing antibodies.

    This study was to establish the novel therapeutic strategy focused on EGFR-binding protein LRIG1, by evaluating the anti-tumor effect of LRIG1 to EGFR-mutant lung cancer. We established EGFR-mutant and EGFR-wild type lung cancer cell lines that stably expressed LRIG1. Using these cell lines, we evaluated EGFR expression status and cell growth in vitro and in vivo. LRIG1 inhibited the expression of mutant EGFR and its phosphorylation, and cell growth in EGFR-mutant lung cancer cell lines. On the other hand, LRIG1 did not affect EGFR expression or cell growth in EGFR-wild type lung cancer cell lines.

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common bone and joint disease in the field of orthopedics. Exosomes contain various substances such as microRNA. We conducted an integrated analysis of cell-derived exosomes by two stress stimuli, mechanical stress and cytokine stimulation. A human cartilage-like cell line was used. We found that when microRNA-X was overexpressed in cartilage-like cells, it suppressed ADAMTS mRNA. Furthermore, we have found that microRNA-X effect on another unexpected molecule related to the extracellular matrix.
    Next, we found that one exosome surface molecule plays a very important role in the uptake of exosomes cells. Identification of this mechanism has a great impact on cell biology in understanding the signal transduction mechanism of exosomes, and can be expected to have a spillover effect. In order to solve this important problem, it is now necessary to develop new research.

    We found that MCAM among the S100 soil sensor receptors (SSSRs) were highly expressed in melanoma cells and breast cancer cells in a constant manner. On the other hand, NPTNβ was overexpressed in lung cancer cells. Our efforts in studying MCAM- and NPTNβ-downstream signal pathway(s) that should supply metastatic forces to cancer cells upon S100A8/A9 binding gave us the identification of the important signal axis, that is, MCAM-TPL2-ETV4 and RAS/TRAF2-NFIA/NFIB-SPDEF cascades, respectively. When we blockaded these signal pathways, the cancer metastasis was significantly downregulated in melanoma, breast cancer and lung cancer cells in vivo. These results indicate that the identified pathways play a crucial part in cancer metastasis in settings at not only in vitro but also in vivo.
    In conclusion, we succeeded to identify MCAM and NPTNβ downstream pathways that have not been understood in detail so far. The identified pathways supply cancer cells a strong metastatic force.

    Gene expression profiling was performed in 4 pairs of duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas and corresponding matched normal tissue. 626 probes consistently demonstrated over a 2-fold expression difference between tumor-normal pairs. GSEA demonstrated a strong association between duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas with colorectal adenomas (p<10-5) and gene expression patterns seen after APC gene knockout (p<10-5), suggesting that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a crucial role in the carcinogenesis of these neoplasms. Immunohistochemical staining of an independent group of duodenal adenomas confirmed over-accumulation of β-catenin. In conclusion, precancerous duodenal adenomas and early-stage adenocarcinomas demonstrate gene expression characteristics with a strong resemblance to colorectal adenomas. The results of this study strongly suggest that up-regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway is the major factor involved in the initial stages of the carcinogenesis of duodenal adenocarcinomas.

    Patients with EGFR-activating mutations who initially respond to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) eventually acquire drug resistance, which is a critical problem in the treatment of patients with advanced lung cancer. In this study, we clarified the relation between epigenetic alteration and EGFR-TKI resistance. We found that the micro RNA-200 and LIN28B axis, known as an oncogenic stem-cell factor, plays an important role in the cell viability of acquired EGFR-TKI resistance cells.

    The HER2 protein is activated in lung cancer, gastric cancer, and breast cancer. Although HER2 gene mutation / amplification is observed in lung cancer, HER2 gene amplification in particular is noted as a factor contributing to acquired resistance of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Existing HER2 molecule-targeted drugs have problems with efficacy and drug resistance, and new therapeutic strategies for HER2-active tumors are needed. We identified a novel molecule cytokeratin 19 (one of the intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton) involved in HER2 protein activation. Furthermore, we reported the therapeutic effect (in vitro & vivo) of HER2 molecule targeting drug (Afatinib) on gastric cancer cell lines. We used it exploratoryly in HER2 mutation positive cancer patients without Afatinib indication and reported its therapeutic effect. The therapeutic effect (in vitro & vivo) of pan-HER inhibitor Neratinib in HER2-activated lung cancer cell line was also reported.

    We performed the research to develop new therapeutic strategy in EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer; prediction about an acquired resistance mechanism to EGFR-TKI and selecting a preventative therapy against emergence of resistance. Targeted deep sequencing with the molecular barcoding system showed a high incidence of coexistence of EGFR common driver mutations and uncommon mutations. In cellular models, AXL was often upregulated in EMT mediated osimertinib resistant cell lines, and addition of cabozantinib, an AXL inhibitor, restored the sensitivity to osimertinib. Drug repositioning analysis revealed that monensin have an preventive effect against EMT, and also EMT-mediated acquired resistance.

    We established a Ba/F3 cell model with MET exon 14 skipping mutation that is present about3% of lung adenocarcinoma . Using this model, we tested its sensitivities to 8 MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) including 4 type I TKI that binds to the active form of the kinase, 3 type II that binds to the inactive form and one allosteric inhibitor. As a result, capmatinib was found to be most effective. Next, we derived resistant clones for each drug. D1228 and Y1230 were common sites of the secondary MET mutations for resistant cells against type I TKI, whereas L1195 and F1200 were common sites for the type II TKI. In general, the resistance mutation for type I is sensitive to type II, and vice versa.

    Our multi-faceted approach towards a better understanding of lung cancer pathogenesis revealed that two major expression profile-defined subtypes exist in lung adenocarcinomas and that TTF-1 confers lineage-specific dependency in lung adenocarcinomas. In addition, we identified mRNA and protein expression signatures highly related to postoperative prognosis, while we also found relationship between deregulation of mTOR-converging signaling and poor prognosis. Finally, we reported for the first time that let-7 is reduced, while miR-17-92 is overexpressed in lung cancers, suggesting important roles of miRNA alterations in lung carcinogenesis.

    2.取得したタンパク発現情報に基づき、NSCLC術後予後予測を可能とするプロファイルの抽出を、バイオインフォマティクス手法を最大限に活用する事により行い、NSCLC術後予後に有意に関連の認められる178個のタンパクからなる発現プロファイルを見出した。
    3.上述の予後関連タンパク発現プロファイルに基づき、NSCLC術後予後予測モデルの構築を目指し、weighted voting法を応用し、10-fold cross validationによるモデル最適化を行った結果、25個のシグナルを用いた予測モデルの構築に至った。この予測モデルの汎用性の検証を、58症例からなるtest cohortから取得されたデータセットを用いて行った結果、予測モデルを用いた判別に基づくoverall survivalは、High-risk群(中間生存=24か月)と、Low-risk群(中間生存=未達)との間で統計的学的有意差を認め(P<0.001)、その高い予測精度が独立したデータセットにおいても確認された。これらの成果は、MALDIMSを用いたタンパク発現プロファイル解析が、臨床試料に応用可能であり、予防・診断・治療法の開発に向けた分子標的の探索に有用である可能性を示すものと考えた。

    In this study, we have carried out highly sophisticated genomics and proteomics analyses of surgically resected cases of lung cancer, which has been the number one cause of cancer deaths in Japan, in order to establish the foundation for the integrated system of the tailor-made cancer treatment. As a result, we were able to show the presence of expression-profile-defined heterogeneity of pulmonary adenocarcinomas, which appeared to be correlated well with the status of genetic alterations and postoperative clinical behaviors such as prognosis. Furthermore, the newly proposed classification could distinguish a subset of patients, which most likely benefit from adjuvant molecular targeted therapy against EGFR-mediated signaling. In addition, we were able to establish the foundation for future studies on the applied proteomics of blood specimens such as serum. These findings should aid further development of genomics and/or proteomics-based approach towards the tailor-made medicine to conquer this devastating illness.

    In this research project, multi faceted analyses were conducted in order to better understand the molecular pathogenesis of human lung cancers. Consequently, we have successfully obtained the following results.
    (1) Expression profiling analysis of lung cancer specimens using the microarray technology revealed the presence of considerable heterogeneity and also allowed us to construct a highly accurate model for predicting 5-yr survival after potentially curative resection. Expression profiling at the protein level has also initiated during this period, which will be rigorously investigated in the next term of this research project.
    (2) By comparing expression profiles of a highly metastatic and its parental human lung cancer cell lines established in our laboratory, various molecules related to inflammation and some other biological responses such as angiogenesis and proteasome-dependent degradation were suggested to be involved in the process of metastasis. Further, we also isolated novel genes related to metastasis including CLCP1 and LNMO1 and characterized their roles in metastasis.
    (3) We found the presence of persistent chromosomal instability in lung cancers and an indirect role of p53 in activation in the acquisition of chromosomal instability phenotype. We also found a homozygous deletion of 14・3・3ε at 17p13.3,a site of frequent alleic losses in lung cancers. This finding led us to identify that 14-3-3ε may play a role in G2 check point response in lung cancers. In addition, we found requently impaired decatenation G2 checkpoint in lung cancers as well as frequent epigenetic silencing of CHFR, a gene implicated in the prophase checkpoint.
