Detection of multiple types of cancer driver mutations using targeted RNA sequencing in nonsmall cell lung cancer. Cancer 2023. [PMID: 37096747 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.34804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA-based next-generation sequencing has been widely used in the selection of target therapies for patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). RNA-based next-generation sequencing has been proven to be valuable in detecting fusion and exon-skipping mutations and is recommended by National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for these mutation types. METHODS The authors developed an RNA-based hybridization panel targeting actionable driver oncogenes in solid tumors. Experimental and bioinformatics pipelines were optimized for the detection of fusions, single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), and insertion/deletion (indels). In total, 1253 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples from patients with NSCLC were analyzed by DNA and RNA panel sequencing in parallel to assess the performance of the RNA panel in detecting multiple types of mutations. RESULTS In analytical validation, the RNA panel achieved a limit of detection of 1.45-3.15 copies per nanogram for SNVs and 0.21-6.48 copies per nanogram for fusions. In 1253 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded NSCLC samples, the RNA panel identified a total of 124 fusion events and 26 MET exon 14-skipping events, in which 14 fusions and six MET exon 14-skipping mutations were missed by DNA panel sequencing. By using the DNA panel as the reference, the positive percent agreement and the positive predictive value of the RNA panel were 98.08% and 98.62%, respectively, for detecting targetable SNVs and 98.15% and 99.38%, respectively, for detecting targetable indels. CONCLUSIONS Parallel DNA and RNA sequencing analyses demonstrated the accuracy and robustness of the RNA sequencing panel in detecting multiple types of clinically actionable mutations. The simplified experimental workflow and low sample consumption will make RNA panel sequencing a potentially effective method in clinical testing.

Abstract
Dysregulated MET signaling plays an important role in lung oncogenesis, tumor growth and invasiveness. It may occur through various mechanisms, such as MET overexpression or gene amplification or mutation, all of which can be detected by specific methods. The utility of MET overexpression as a biomarker remains unclear due to discrepancies in its occurrence and non-standardized cut-off thresholds. MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14) was established as a strong predictor of response to selective MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and clinical trial results in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring METex14 led to the approval of capmatinib and tepotinib by regulatory agencies worldwide. MET amplification is an emerging biomarker, with clinical data indicating an association between MET gene copy number and response to MET-TKIs. Additionally, MET amplification represents an important mechanism of resistance to TKIs in oncogene-driven NSCLC. The identification of molecular alterations for which targeted therapies are available is important, and high-throughput next-generation sequencing techniques can provide information on multiple genes at the same time, helping to provide valuable predictive information for oncogene-driven cancers. This review summarizes the current methods used for the detection of METex14, MET amplification and MET overexpression, and discusses the evidence for the use of MET-TKIs in patients with NSCLC with MET dysregulation. We discuss the practical challenges that impact the use of METex14 in the clinic and the evidence gaps that need to be addressed to validate additional genomic markers for MET-dependent cancers.

The role of next-generation sequencing in detecting gene FUSIONS with KNOWN and UNKNOWN partners: A single-center experience with methodologies' integration. Hum Pathol 2022; 123:20-30.

Abstract
AIMS Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming a new gold standard for determining molecular predictive biomarkers. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of NGS in detecting gene fusions, focusing on comparing gene fusions with known and unknown partners. METHODS We collected all gene fusions from a consecutive case series using an amplicon-based DNA/RNA NGS platform and subdivided them into two groups: gene fusions with known partners and gene fusions with unknown partners. Gene fusions involving ALK, ROS1 and RET were also examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). RESULTS Overall, 1174 malignancies underwent NGS analysis. NGS detected gene fusions in 67 cases (5.7%), further subdivided into 43 (64.2%) with known partners and 24 (35.8%) with unknown partners. Gene fusions were predominantly found in non-small cell lung carcinomas (52/67, 77.6%). Gene fusions with known partners frequently involved ALK (20/43, 46.5%) and MET (9/43, 20.9%), while gene fusions with unknown partners mostly involved RET (18/24, 75.0%). FISH/IHC confirmed rearrangement status in most (89.3%) of the gene fusions with known partners, but in only one (4.8%) of the gene fusions with unknown partners, with a significant difference (p<0.001). In 17 patients undergoing targeted therapy, the log-rank test revealed that the overall survival was higher in the known partner group than in the unknown partner group (p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS NGS is a reliable method for detecting gene fusions with known partners, but it is less accurate in identifying gene fusions with unknown partners, for which further analyses (such as FISH) are required.

Abstract
The enormous increase in sequencing capacity due to the development of next generation sequencing technologies opens up new opportunities in the fields of histopathology, research, and diagnostics, but also poses huge challenges.The identification of genomic aberrations (point mutations, small insertions and deletions, fusion transcripts, and tumor mutation burden (TMB)) have already become a reliable part of routine molecular diagnostics. This will be supplemented by additional applications, namely gene amplifications, microsatellite instability, genomic signatures like homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), mRNA expression patterns, B‑ and T‑cell clonality, and DNA methylation. Challenges in preanalytics and the evaluation of assay sensitivity and specificity as well as proper curation of identified aberrations, which requires a new type of specialist, are presented and discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION RET gene fusions are established oncogenic drivers in 1% of NSCLC. Accurate detection of advanced patients with RET fusions is essential to ensure optimal therapy choice. We investigated the performance of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) as a diagnostic test for detecting functional RET fusions. METHODS Between January 2016 and November 2019, a total of 4873 patients with NSCLC were routinely screened for RET fusions using either FISH (n = 2858) or targeted RNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) (n = 2015). If sufficient material was available, positive cases were analyzed by both methods (n = 39) and multiple FISH assays (n = 17). In an independent cohort of 520 patients with NSCLC, whole-genome sequencing data were investigated for disruptive structural variations and functional fusions in the RET and compared with ALK and ROS1 loci. RESULTS FISH analysis revealed RET rearrangement in 48 of 2858 cases; of 30 rearranged cases double tested with NGS, only nine had a functional RET fusion. RNA NGS yielded RET fusions in 14 of 2015 cases; all nine cases double tested by FISH had RET locus rearrangement. Of these 18 verified RET fusion cases, 16 had a split signal and two a complex rearrangement by FISH. By whole-genome sequencing, the prevalence of functional fusions compared with all disruptive events was lower in the RET (4 of 9, 44%) than the ALK (27 of 34, 79%) and ROS1 (9 of 12, 75%) loci. CONCLUSIONS FISH is a sensitive but unspecific technique for RET screening, always requiring a confirmation using an orthogonal technique, owing to frequently occurring RET rearrangements not resulting in functional fusions in NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is among the leading causes of death all over the world and it is often diagnosed at advanced or metastatic stages. Exosomes, derived from circulating vesicles that are released from the multivesicular body, can be utilized for diagnosis and also the prognosis of LC at early stages. Exosomal proteins, RNAs, and DNAs can help to better discern the prognostic and diagnostic features of LC. To our knowledge, there are various reviews on LC and the contribution of exosomes, but none of them are about the exome techniques and also their efficiency in LC. To fill this gap, in this review, we summarize the recent investigations regarding isolation and also the characterization of exosomes of LC cells. Furthermore, we discuss the noncoding RNAs as biomarkers and their applications in the diagnosis and prognosis of LC. Finally, we compare the efficacy of exosome isolation methods to better fi + 6 + guring out feasible techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted next-generation sequencing is a powerful method to comprehensively identify biomarkers for cancer. Starting material is currently either DNA or RNA for different variations, but splitting to 2 assays is burdensome and sometimes unpractical, causing delay or complete lack of detection of critical events, in particular, potent and targetable fusion events. An assay that analyzes both templates in a streamlined process is eagerly needed. METHODS We developed a single-tube, dual-template assay and an integrated bioinformatics pipeline for relevant variant calling. RNA was used for fusion detection, whereas DNA was used for single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) and insertion and deletions (indels). The reaction chemistry featured barcoded adaptor ligation, multiplexed linear amplification, and multiplexed PCR for noise reduction and novel fusion detection. An auxiliary quality control assay was also developed. RESULTS In a 1000-sample lung tumor cohort, we identified all major SNV/indel hotspots and fusions, as well as MET exon 14 skipping and several novel or rare fusions. The occurrence frequencies were in line with previous reports and were verified by Sanger sequencing. One noteworthy fusion event was HLA-DRB1-MET that constituted the second intergenic MET fusion ever detected in lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS This method should benefit not only a majority of patients carrying core actionable targets but also those with rare variations. Future extension of this assay to RNA expression and DNA copy number profiling of target genes such as programmed death-ligand 1 may provide additional biomarkers for immune checkpoint therapies.

An Integrated Next-Generation Sequencing System for Analyzing DNA Mutations, Gene Fusions, and RNA Expression in Lung Cancer. Transl Oncol 2019; 12:836-845. [PMID: 30981944 PMCID: PMC6463765 DOI: 10.1016/j.tranon.2019.02.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2018] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
We developed and characterized a next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology for streamlined analysis of DNA and RNA using low-input, low-quality cancer specimens. A single-workflow, targeted NGS panel for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was designed covering 135 RNA and 55 DNA disease-relevant targets. This multiomic panel was used to assess 219 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded NSCLC surgical resections and core needle biopsies. Mutations and expression phenotypes were identified consistent with previous large-scale genomic studies, including mutually exclusive DNA and RNA oncogenic driver events. Evaluation of a second cohort of low cell count fine-needle aspirate smears from the BATTLE-2 trial yielded 97% agreement with an independent, validated NGS panel that was used with matched surgical specimens. Collectively, our data indicate that broad, clinically actionable insights that previously required independent assays, workflows, and analyses to assess both DNA and RNA can be conjoined in a first-tier, highly multiplexed NGS test, thereby providing faster, simpler, and more economical results.
