A consensus molecular subtypes classification strategy for clinical colorectal cancer tissues. Life Sci Alliance 2024; 7:e202402730. [PMID: 38782602 PMCID: PMC11116811 DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202402730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Consensus Molecular Subtype (CMS) classification of colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues is complicated by RNA degradation upon formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) preservation. Here, we present an FFPE-curated CMS classifier. The CMSFFPE classifier was developed using genes with a high transcript integrity in FFPE-derived RNA. We evaluated the classification accuracy in two FFPE-RNA datasets with matched fresh-frozen (FF) RNA data, and an FF-derived RNA set. An FFPE-RNA application cohort of metastatic CRC patients was established, partly treated with anti-EGFR therapy. Key characteristics per CMS were assessed. Cross-referenced with matched benchmark FF CMS calls, the CMSFFPE classifier strongly improved classification accuracy in two FFPE datasets compared with the original CMSClassifier (63.6% versus 40.9% and 83.3% versus 66.7%, respectively). We recovered CMS-specific recurrence-free survival patterns (CMS4 versus CMS2: hazard ratio 1.75, 95% CI 1.24-2.46). Key molecular and clinical associations of the CMSs were confirmed. In particular, we demonstrated the predictive value of CMS2 and CMS3 for anti-EGFR therapy response (CMS2&3: odds ratio 5.48, 95% CI 1.10-27.27). The CMSFFPE classifier is an optimized FFPE-curated research tool for CMS classification of clinical CRC samples.

Abstract
TP53 mutation is one of the most common genetic alterations in urothelial carcinoma (UrCa), and heterogeneity of TP53 mutants leads to heterogeneous clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the clinical relevance of specific TP53 mutations in UrCa. In this study, a total of eight cohorts were enrolled, along with matched clinical annotation. TP53 mutations were classified as disruptive and nondisruptive according to the degree of disturbance of p53 protein function and structure. We evaluated the clinical significance of TP53 mutations in our local datasets and publicly available datasets. The co-occurring events of TP53 mutations in UrCa, along with their therapeutic indications, functional effects, and the tumor immune microenvironment, were also investigated. TP53 mutations were identified in 49.7% of the UrCa patients. Within this group, 25.1% of patients carried TP53Disruptive mutations, a genetic alteration correlated with a significantly poorer overall survival (OS) when compared to individuals with TP53Nondisruptive mutations and those with wild-type TP53. Significantly, patients with TP53Disruptive mutations exhibit an increased probability of responding favorably to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and chemoimmunotherapy. Meanwhile, there was no noteworthy distinction in OS among patients with varying TP53 mutation status who underwent chemotherapy. Samples with TP53Disruptive mutations showed an enriched APOBEC- and POLE-related mutational signature, as well as an elevated tumor mutation burden. The sensitivity to immunotherapy in tumors carrying TP53Disruptive mutation may be attributed to the inflamed tumor microenvironment characterized by increased CD8+T cell infiltration and interferon-gamma signaling activation. In conclusion, UrCa patients with TP53Disruptive mutations have shown reduced survival rates, yet they may respond well to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy and chemoimmunotherapy. By distinguishing specific TP53 mutations, we can improve risk stratification and offer personalized genomics-guided therapy to UrCa patients. © 2024 The Authors.

Prognostic Impact of TP53 Mutations in Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-small-cell Lung Cancer. Clin Lung Cancer 2024; 25:244-253.e2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic impact of TP53 mutations in advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC) patients treated with chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data from patients with nsNSCLC treated in the first line from January 2018 to May 2021. The patient was separated into 2 groups according to their TP53 mutation status (wt vs. mut). Survival was estimated through the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. RESULTS Of 220 patients included, 126 were in the mutTP53 group, and 94 were in the wtTP53wt group. Median OS (mOS) was not significantly different between the mutTP53 and wtTP53 groups [17.5 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 11.3-21.5) vs. 9.5 months (95% CI, 7.4-14.2), (P = .051)]. In subgroup analyses, the mutTP53 group treated with ICI had a significantly improved mOS compared to the wtTP53 group [(24.7 months (95% CI, 20.8-not reach) vs. 12.0 months (95% CI, 4.7-not reach), (P = .017)] and mPFS [(9.6 months (95% CI, 5.8-not reach) vs. 3.2 months (95% CI, 1.3-13.8) (P = .048)]. There was no difference in terms of mOS and mPFS between the mutTP53 and the wtTP53 group treated by chemotherapy alone or combined with ICI. CONCLUSION TP53 mutation had no survival impact in the overall population, but is associated with better outcomes with ICI alone. These results suggest that patients with TP53 mutations could be treated with ICI alone, and wild-type patients could benefit from the addition of chemotherapy.

Nanoscale Metal-Organic Frameworks-Mediated Degradation of Mutant p53 Proteins and Activation of cGAS-STING Pathway for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2307278.

Abstract
Activating cGAS-STING pathway has great potential to achieve effective antitumor immunotherapy. However, mutant p53 (mutp53), a commonly observed genetic alteration in over 50% of human cancer, will impede the therapeutic performance of the cGAS-STING pathway. Herein, multifunctional ZIF-8@MnO2 nanoparticles are constructed to degrade mutp53 and facilitate the cGAS-STING pathway. The synthesized ZIF-8@MnO2 can release Zn2+ and Mn2+ in cancer cells to induce oxidative stress and cytoplasmic leakage of fragmented mitochondrial double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs). Importantly, the released Zn2+ induces variable degradation of multifarious p53 mutants through proteasome ubiquitination, which can alleviate the inhibitory effects of mutp53 on the cGAS-STING pathway. In addition, the released Mn2+ further increases the sensitivity of cGAS to dsDNAs as immunostimulatory signals. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that ZIF-8@MnO2 effectively promotes the cGAS-STING pathway and synergizes with PD-L1 checkpoint blockades, leading to remarkable regression of local tumors as well as distant metastases of breast cancer. This study proposes an inorganic metal ion-based nanoplatform to enhance the cGAS-STING-mediated antitumor immunotherapy, especially to those tumors with mutp53 expression.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent cause of cancer and mortality on a global scale. SNAI1, a member of the zinc finger transcription superfamily, is a significant contributor to embryonic development and carcinogenesis through the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). While prior research utilizing CRC cells and clinical data has demonstrated that SNAI1 facilitates CRC progression through diverse mechanisms, the precise manner in which epithelial SNAI1 regulates CRC development in vivo remains unclear. In this study, colitis and colitis-associated CRC were induced through the use of intestinal epithelium-specific Snai1 knockout (Snai1 cKO) mice. Our findings indicate that Snai1 cKO mice exhibit a reduced susceptibility to acute colitis and colitis-associated CRC compared to control mice. Western-blot analysis of colon tissues revealed that Snai1 cKO mice exhibited a higher overall apoptosis level during tumor formation than control mice. No significant differences were observed in the activation of the classical p53 signaling pathway. However, Snai1 cKO mice exhibited weakened EMT and Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation. In summary, our study has provided evidence in vivo that the intestinal epithelial SNAI1 protein suppresses apoptosis, amplifies the EMT, and activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in both early and late phases of CRC formation, thus promoting the development and progression of colitis-associated CRC.

Proteomic characterization of the colorectal cancer response to chemoradiation and targeted therapies reveals potential therapeutic strategies. Cell Rep Med 2023; 4:101311.

Abstract
Chemoradiation and targeted therapies are the major treatments for colorectal cancer (CRC); however, molecular properties associated with therapy resistance are incompletely characterized. Here, we profile the proteome of 254 tumor tissues from patients with CRC undergoing chemotherapy, chemoradiation, or chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy. Proteome-based classification reveals four subtypes featured with distinct biological and therapeutic characteristics. The integrative analysis of CRC cell lines and clinical samples indicates that immune regulation is significantly associated with drug sensitivity. HSF1 can increase DNA damage repair and cell cycle, thus inducing resistance to radiation, while high expression of HDAC6 is negatively associated with response of cetuximab. Furthermore, we develop prognostic models with high accuracy to predict the therapeutic response, further validated by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assay in an independent validation cohort. This study provides a rich resource for investigating the mechanisms and indicators of chemoradiation and targeted therapy in CRC.

The heterogeneous impact of targeted therapy on the prognosis of stage III/IV colorectal cancer patients with different subtypes of TP53 mutations. Cancer Med 2023; 12:21920-21932. [PMID: 38063316 PMCID: PMC10757131 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between molecular characteristics and the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients has not been fully understood. This study explored the impact of targeted therapy on the prognosis of CRC patients with different TP53 mutations, in the context of comprehensive treatment. METHODS This study included patients with stage III/IV primary CRC from the electronic medical record system. TP53 mutations were detected via next-generation sequencing (NGS) using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. Applying two methods, we classified TP53 mutations as gain of function (GOF)/non-GOF mutations or known/likely loss of function (LOF) mutations. Kaplan-Meier plot and parametric survival analysis were performed to evaluate the prognosis of CRC patients and identify potential predictors. RESULTS There were 286 patients included, of which 166 (58.04%) patients received targeted therapy and 120 (41.96%) did not. There were 286 patients in the TP53 GOF classification set and 247 in the TP53 LOF classification set. Parametric survival analysis, adjusted for sex, onset, KRAS mutation, sidedness, stage, and surgery, showed that receiving targeted therapy predicted better overall survival (OS) among patients who harbored TP53 GOF mutations (HR 0.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.21, 0.76], p = 0.005) or known LOF mutations (HR 0.21, 95% CI [0.07, 0.60], p = 0.002). However, there was no significant impact of receiving targeted therapy on OS among patients harboring TP53 non-GOF mutations (HR 1.68, 95% CI [0.50, 5.63], p = 0.403) or likely LOF mutations (HR 0.90, 95% CI [0.34, 2.39], p = 0.837). CONCLUSIONS Receiving targeted therapy had a heterogeneous impact on the prognosis of CRC patients harboring different TP53 mutations. These results provide promising value for future personalized treatment and precision medicine.

Prognostic value of primary tumor location in colorectal cancer: an updated meta-analysis. Clin Exp Med 2023; 23:4369-4383. [PMID: 37405571 DOI: 10.1007/s10238-023-01120-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023]
Abstract
The clinical, histological, and molecular differences between right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (RCC) have received considerable attention. Over the past decade, many articles have been published concerning the association between primary tumor location (PTL) of colorectal cancer and survival outcomes. Therefore, there is a growing need for an updated meta-analysis integrating the outcomes of recent studies to determine the prognostic role of right vs left-sidedness of PTL in patients with colorectal cancer. We conducted a comprehensive database review using PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane library databases from February 2016 to March 2023 for prospective or retrospective studies reporting data on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of RCC compared with LCC. A total of 60 cohort studies comprising 1,494,445 patients were included in the meta-analysis. We demonstrated that RCC is associated with a significantly increased risk of death compared with LCC by 25% (hazard ratio (HR), 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.19-1.31; I2 = 78.4%; Z = 43.68). Results showed that patients with RCC have a worse OS compared with LCC only in advanced stages (Stage III: HR, 1.275; 95% CI 1.16-1.4; P = 0.0002; I2 = 85.8%; Stage IV: HR, 1.34; 95% CI 1.25-1.44; P < 0.0001; I2 = 69.2%) but not in primary stages (Stage I/II: HR, 1.275; 95% CI 1.16-1.4; P = 0.0002; I2 = 85.8%). Moreover, a meta-analysis of 13 studies including 812,644 patients revealed that there is no significant difference in CSS between RCC and LCC (HR, 1.121; 95% CI 0.97-1.3; P = 0.112). Findings from the present meta-analysis highlight the importance of PTL in clinical decision-making for patients with CRC, especially in advanced stages. We provide further evidence supporting the hypothesis that RCC and LCC are distinct disease entities that should be managed differently.

Abstract
The treatment strategies and prognoses of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) differ according to the sidedness of the primary tumor. TP53 gain-of-function (GOF) and non-GOF variants have been reported to be differentially associated with prognosis by sidedness. We aimed to evaluate the sidedness-dependent prognostic impact of gene alterations in metastatic CRC. Patients enrolled between April 2017 and March 2019 were included in this study. Those excluded were individuals whose tumor tissues were obtained after chemotherapy and those who were enrolled in the study more than six months after starting first-line chemotherapy. Finally, we assessed 531 patients who underwent complete gene sequencing. The study revealed a significant difference in overall survival between individuals with left-sided CRC (n = 355) and right-sided colon cancer (CC) (n = 176) when considering the TP53 non-GOF variant, KRAS wild-type, NOTCH1 wild-type, NOTCH1 covariant, NOTCH3 sole variant, and MYC amplification. Multivariate analysis on each side revealed that the TP53 GOF and KRAS variants were independent poor prognostic factors for left-sided CRC (p = 0.03 and p < 0.01, respectively), and the TP53 non-GOF variant, BRAF V600E, and MYC amplification for right-sided CC (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p = 0.02, respectively). The NOTCH3 sole variant was an independent and favorable prognostic factor for left-sided CRC (p < 0.01). The prognostic significance of gene alterations differed between left-sided CRC and right-sided CC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although nivolumab has a high efficacy, reliable biomarkers are needed to predict the efficacy. We evaluated the nivolumab efficacy according to the TP53 mutation in advanced gastric cancer patients enrolled in the GI-SCREEN project. METHODS Sequence data of tumour specimens and clinicopathological information of 913 patients with advanced gastric cancer who were enrolled between April 2015 and March 2017 were obtained from the GI-SCREEN database. The follow-up information of 266 patients treated with nivolumab was also provided. RESULTS Among 266 patients treated with nivolumab, the objective response rate (ORR) of TP53 wild type (wt) patients (24.6%) was higher than that of TP53 mutant patients (14.8%). Among TP53 mutant patients, the ORR of the frameshift type tended to be higher than the transition and transversion type (23.1%, 13.6%, and 13.0%, respectively). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was statistically longer in TP53 wt patients than in mutant patients (3.3 vs 2.1 months, HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.9). Among TP53 mutant patients, PFS was statistically longer in the frameshift type than in the transversion type. CONCLUSION Nivolumab showed better efficacy in TP53 wt patients than in mutant patients. Among TP53 mutant patients, the frameshift type may have efficacy from nivolumab treatment.

Abstract
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common malignancy worldwide, and second in number of deaths in the world. The molecular pathogenesis of CRC is heterogeneous and can affect several genes. Moreover, genomic instability is recognized as an important part of CRC carcinogenesis and is tightly connected to DNA damage response. DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways are intrinsically associated with cancer development and establishment. Traditionally, CRC is considered as one coherent disease, however, new evidence shows that left and right-sided CRC present differences observed in clinical settings, as well as in pre-clinical studies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of DDR transcriptional profiles on survival in different sublocations of the colon and rectum using Cox regression, survival analysis and differential gene expression. Right side colon (RSC) has DDR genes' expression associated only with higher risk of death, while left side colon (LSC) and Rectum have most genes' expression associated with lower risk. The pattern is the same with survival analysis. All significant DDR genes had lower expression associated with better survival in RSC, as opposed to LSC and Rectum. Our results demonstrate that RSC is distinctively different from LSC and Rectum. LSC and Rectum have similar DDR expression profiles.

TP53 Gain-of-Function Mutation is a Poor Prognostic Factor in High-Methylated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. Clin Colorectal Cancer 2023; 22:327-338.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neither TP53 mutation nor DNA methylation status has been established as a biomarker alone of metastatic colorectal cancer. We analyzed the association between TP53 mutation functional subtypes and genome-wide DNA methylation status (GWMS) as combined prognostic markers. METHODS Patient clinical data were obtained from the TRICOLORE study, a randomized phase III trial. The TP53 mutations were classified into wild-type, gain-of-function (GOF) mutations, and non-gain-of-function (non-GOF) mutations. GWMS of the tumor tissues classified them into high-methylated colorectal cancer (HMCC) and low-methylated colorectal cancer (LMCC). Overall survival (OS) was compared based on these subgroups. RESULTS Of the 209 patients, 60 (28.7%) were HMCC and 149 (71.3%) were LMCC, 35 (16.7%) were TP53 wild-type and 174 (83.3%) were TP53 mutants including 79 (45.4%) GOF mutations and 95 (54.6%) non-GOF mutations. The OS of the HMCC group was shorter than that of the LMCC group (median 25.3 vs. 40.3 months, P < .001, hazard ratio 1.87) in the total cohort. The combined subgroup analyses of GWMS and TP53 mutation subtypes showed that the HMCC/GOF group had significantly shorter OS than the HMCC/non-GOF group, the LMCC/GOF group, and the LMCC/non-GOF group (median 17.7; 35.3, 40.3, and 41.2 months, P = .007, P < .001, and P < .001, respectively), regardless of the primary tumor location. By the multivariate analysis, only HMCC (P = .009) was a poor prognostic factor in the GOF mutation group. CONCLUSIONS TP53 GOF with HMCC is a newly identified poorest prognostic molecular subset in metastatic colorectal cancer.

Impact of Primary Tumor Location and Genomic Alterations on Survival Following Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion for Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:4459-4470.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer leads to peritoneal metastases (CRPM) in 10% of cases. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS-HIPEC) improves survival. Primary tumor location and abnormalities in RAS, BRAF, and mismatch repair/microsatellite stability (MMR/MSI) may affect post-CRS-HIPEC survival, but studies have not been consistent. We estimated the effects of primary tumor site and genomic alterations on post-CRS-HIPEC survival. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included CRS-HIPEC cases for CRPM at a high-volume center from 2001 to 2020. Next-generation sequencing and microsatellite testing defined the RAS, BRAF, and MMR/MSI genotypes. Adjusted effects of tumor sidedness and genomics on survival were evaluated using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. We analyzed these variables' effects on progression-free survival and the effects of immune checkpoint-inhibitors. RESULTS A total of 250 patients underwent CRS-HIPEC with testing for RAS, BRAF, and MMR/MSI; 50.8% of patients were RAS-mutated, 12.4% were BRAF-mutated, and 6.8% were deficient-MMR/MSI-high (dMMR/MSI-H). Genomic alterations predominated in right-sided cancers. After adjustment for comorbidities and oncological and perioperative variables, rectal origin [hazard ratio (HR) 1.9, p = 0.01], RAS mutation (HR 1.6, p = 0.01), and BRAF mutation (HR 1.7, p = 0.05) were associated with worse survival. RAS mutation was also associated with shorter progression-free survival (HR 1.6, p = 0.01 at 6 months post-operatively), and dMMR/MSI-H status was associated with superior survival (HR 0.3, p = 0.01 at 2 years). dMMR/MSI-H patients receiving immune checkpoint-inhibitors trended toward superior survival. CONCLUSIONS Rectal origin, RAS mutations, and BRAF mutations are each associated with poorer survival after CRS-HIPEC for CRPM. Patients with CRPM and dMMR/MSI-H status have superior survival. Further research should evaluate benefits of immune checkpoint-inhibitors in this subgroup.

Abstract
Well-differentiated/de-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS/DDLPS) is one of the most common histologic subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma (STS); however, treatment options remain limited. WDLPS and DDLPS both exhibit the characteristic amplification of chromosome region 12q13-15, which contains the genes CDK4 and MDM2. DDLPS exhibits higher amplification ratios of these two and carries additional genomic lesions, including the amplification of chromosome region 1p32 and chromosome region 6q23, which may explain the more aggressive biology of DDLPS. WDLPS does not respond to systemic chemotherapy and is primarily managed with local therapy, including multiple resections and debulking procedures whenever clinically feasible. In contrast, DDLPS can respond to chemotherapy drugs and drug combinations, including doxorubicin (or doxorubicin in combination with ifosfamide), gemcitabine (or gemcitabine in combination with docetaxel), trabectedin, eribulin, and pazopanib. However, the response rate is generally low, and the response duration is usually short. This review highlights the clinical trials with developmental therapeutics that have been completed or are ongoing, including CDK4/6 inhibitors, MDM2 inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. This review will also discuss the current landscape in assessing biomarkers for identifying tumors sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Oncogenic BRAF and p53 Interplay in Melanoma Cells and the Effects of the HDAC Inhibitor ITF2357 (Givinostat). Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24119148. [PMID: 37298104 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24119148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Oncogenic BRAF mutations have been widely described in melanomas and promote tumour progression and chemoresistance. We previously provided evidence that the HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 (Givinostat) targets oncogenic BRAF in SK-MEL-28 and A375 melanoma cells. Here, we show that oncogenic BRAF localises to the nucleus of these cells, and the compound decreases BRAF levels in both the nuclear and cytosolic compartments. Although mutations in the tumour suppressor p53 gene are not equally frequent in melanomas compared to BRAF, the functional impairment of the p53 pathway may also contribute to melanoma development and aggressiveness. To understand whether oncogenic BRAF and p53 may cooperate, a possible interplay was considered in the two cell lines displaying a different p53 status, being p53 mutated into an oncogenic form in SK-MEL-28 and wild-type in A375 cells. Immunoprecipitation revealed that BRAF seems to preferentially interact with oncogenic p53. Interestingly, ITF2357 not only reduced BRAF levels but also oncogenic p53 levels in SK-MEL-28 cells. ITF2357 also targeted BRAF in A375 cells but not wild-type p53, which increased, most likely favouring apoptosis. Silencing experiments confirmed that the response to ITF2357 in BRAF-mutated cells depends on p53 status, thus providing a rationale for melanoma-targeted therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION P53 is one of the most frequently mutated genes in colorectal cancer (CRC). The present study was undertaken to provide a solid estimate of the prognostic value of p53 mutations in metastatic CRC patients. METHODS This meta-analysis was done in accordance to the Preferred Reporting Item For Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis 2020 guidelines. Studies in English published in the last ten years were searched through PubMed and Google Scholar. Final selection criteria were: 1) association with overall survival, 2) presence of Hazard Ratios (HRs) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs). The articles were evaluated for quality and risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and QUIPS tool, respectively. The meta-analysis was conducted with random-effects model according to the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman method and results were depicted in classical Forest plots. Studies heterogeneity was determined by I2 and Tau2 statistics. The relationship between p53 mutation and clinic-pathological variables was examined using the χ2 test. RESULTS Nine articles met the eligibility criteria and went to the final analysis. Sample size ranged from 51 to 1043 patients. All studies were retrospective. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale score was >6 in all studies, QUIPS risk of bias was low in 6, moderate in 3 studies. Only three studies analysed the entire p53 gene coding region. The DNA sequencing technological platforms varied from Sanger to NGS sequencing techniques. The p53 mutational frequencies ranged from 35.0 to 73.0%. A strong association (p<0.0001) emerged between p53 alteration and left-sided CRC. The final pooled HR (p53 mutated vs p53 wild-type tumours) for overall survival was 1.30 (95% CI: 0.75-2.25) at random-effects model. CONCLUSIONS The available evidence does not support a prognostic role for p53 in metastatic CRC patients. Prospective studies, with larger sample sizes and consistent and harmonized methodology, are needed to explore the prognostic role of p53 in metastatic CRC patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the impact of TP53 gain-of-function (GOF) and non-GOF mutations on prognosis of advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) among patients with KRAS, CDKN2A, and SMAD4 comutations. METHODS This cohort included patients with locally advanced, recurrent, and de novo metastatic PDAC with next-generation sequencing performed from November 2017 to May 2022. We defined R175H, R248W, R248Q, R249S, R273H, R273L, and R282W as GOF and all other p53 mutations (mutp53) as non-GOF. We used Cox regression modeling to examine the association between GOF and non-GOF mutp53 and overall survival (OS), adjusting for demographics, performance status, Charlson comorbidity index, receipt of chemotherapy, and KRAS, CDKN2A, and SMAD4 comutations. RESULTS Of 893 total eligible patients, 68.5% had tumors with mutp53, 90.1% had KRAS mutations (mutKRAS), 44.7% had CDKN2A mutations (mutCDKN2A), and 17.0% had SMAD4 mutations. Among patients with mutp53, 121 had GOF and 491 had non-GOF. GOF mutp53 was associated with worse OS than non-GOF mutp53 (hazard ratio [HR], 1.27; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.59) and wild-type p53 (wtp53; HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.57), whereas non-GOF was not associated with worse OS than wtp53 (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1.13). In addition, mutKRAS was associated with worse OS than wild-type KRAS in patients with mutCDKN2A (HR, 1.57; 95% CI, 0.88 to 2.80) but not in patients with wild-type CDKN2A (HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.76 to 1.39). CONCLUSION GOF and non-GOF mutp53 were associated with differential prognosis in advanced PDAC. The adverse effect of mutKRAS on OS appeared to be primarily driven by patients with mutCDKN2A. Our results provide new insight that could be helpful for prognostic stratification in clinical practice and for aiding future clinical trial designs.

Abstract
TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. While no TP53-targeting drugs have been approved in the USA or Europe so far, preclinical and clinical studies are underway to investigate targeting of specific or all TP53 mutations, for example, by restoration of the functionality of mutated TP53 (TP53mut) or protecting wildtype TP53 (TP53wt) from negative regulation. We performed a comprehensive mRNA expression analysis in 24 cancer types of TCGA to extract (i) a consensus expression signature shared across TP53 mutation types and cancer types, (ii) differential gene expression patterns between tumors harboring different TP53 mutation types such as loss of function, gain of function or dominant-negative mutations, and (iii) cancer-type-specific patterns of gene expression and immune infiltration. Analysis of mutational hotspots revealed both similarities across cancer types and cancer type-specific hotspots. Underlying ubiquitous and cancer type-specific mutational processes with the associated mutational signatures contributed to explaining this observation. Virtually no genes were differentially expressed between tumors harboring different TP53 mutation types, while hundreds of genes were over- and underexpressed in TP53mut compared to TP53wt tumors. A consensus list included 178 genes that were overexpressed and 32 genes that were underexpressed in the TP53mut tumors of at least 16 of the investigated 24 cancer types. In an association analysis of immune infiltration with TP53 mutations in 32 cancer subtypes, decreased immune infiltration was observed in six subtypes, increased infiltration in two subtypes, a mixed pattern of decreased and increased immune cell populations in four subtypes, while immune infiltration was not associated with TP53 status in 20 subtypes. The analysis of a large cohort of human tumors complements results from experimental studies and supports the view that TP53 mutations should be further evaluated as predictive markers for immunotherapy and targeted therapies.

Voutsadakis IA. KRAS mutated colorectal cancers with or without PIK3CA mutations: Clinical and molecular profiles inform current and future therapeutics. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2023; 186:103987.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies and its molecular pathogenesis has been intensely investigated for several decades. As a result, great progress has been made and targeted therapies have been introduced in the clinic. This paper examines colorectal cancers based on two of the most common molecular alterations, KRAS and PIK3CA mutations as a basis for therapeutic targeting. METHODS Two publicly available genomic series with clinical data were evaluated for prevalence and characteristics of cases with and without KRAS and PIK3CA mutations and the literature was reviewed for relevant information on the therapeutic implication of these alterations as well as other coincident alterations to derive therapeutic individualized options of targeted treatments. RESULTS Colorectal cancers without KRAS and PIK3CA mutations represent the most prevalent group (48% to 58% of patients) and present therapeutic targeted opportunities with BRAF inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors in the subsets with BRAF mutations (15% to 22%) and Microsatellite Instability (MSI, 14% to 16%), respectively. The second most prevalent sub-set, with KRAS mutations and PIK3CA wild type, representing 20% to 25% of patients, has currently few targeted options, besides specific KRAS G12C inhibitors for the small percentage of cases (9%-10%) that bear this mutation. Cancers with KRAS wild type and PIK3CA mutations are observed in 12% to 14% of colorectal cancer patients, harbor the highest percentage of cases with BRAF mutations and Microsatellite Instability (MSI), and are candidates for the respective targeted therapies. New targeted therapies in development, such as ATR inhibitors could be effective in cases with ATM mutations and ARID1A mutations that are also most prevalent in this sub-group (14% to 22% and 30%, respectively). KRAS and PIK3CA double mutant cancers have also few targeted options currently and could benefit from combination therapies with PI3K inhibitors and new KRAS inhibitors in development. CONCLUSION The backbone of common KRAS and PIK3CA mutations is a rational frame for development of therapeutic algorithms in colorectal cancer and can help guide new drug therapies development. In addition, the prevalence of different molecular groups presented here may help with planning of combination clinical trials by providing estimations of sub-sets with more than one alteration.

Abstract
Functional properties caused by TP53 mutations are involved in cancer development and progression. Although most of the mutations lose normal p53 functions, some of them, gain-of-function (GOF) mutations, exhibiting novel oncogenic functions. No reports have analyzed the impact of TP53 mutations on the gene expression profile of the p53 signaling pathway across cancer types. This study is a cross-cancer type analysis of the effects of TP53 mutations on gene expression. A hierarchical cluster analysis of the expression profile of the p53 signaling pathway classified 21 cancer types into two clusters (A1 and A2). Changes in the expression of cell cycle-related genes and MKI67 by TP53 mutations were greater in cluster A1 than in cluster A2. There was no distinct difference in the effects between GOF and non-GOF mutations on the gene expression profile of the p53 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Introduction We studied the predictive and prognostic influences of hypertension (HT), type 2 diabetes (T2D), weight, and p53 mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Patients and methods T2D was diagnosed according to the ADA criteria. HT was classified according to the ACC/AHA guidelines. BMI (body-mass index) was calculated and classified according to the WHO criteria. TruSigt™Oncology 500 kit was applied to construct the genomic libraries for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis. The Illumina NovaSeq 6000 technological platform and the Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 bioinformatics pipeline were applied to analyze results. Overall survival (OS) was calculated through Kaplan-Meier curves. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the relationships between clinical and/or molecular covariates. Associations between HT, T2D, BMI, p53, and clinical variables were evaluated by the χ2 test. P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results Two-hundred-forty-four patients were enrolled. One-hundred-twenty (49.2%), 110 (45.1%), and 50 (20.5%) patients were affected by overweight, HT, and T2D, respectively. DC (disease control) was achieved more frequently in patients without T2D (83.1%) compared to the diabetic ones (16.9%) (P = 0.0246). DC, KRAS mutational status, T2D, BMI, and concomitant presence of T2D, BMI, and HT associated with survival (P < 0.05). At multivariate analysis, age (≥65 vs. <65 years), response to first-line chemotherapy (DC vs. no DC), and concomitant presence of T2D, BMI, and HT (HR: 4.56; 95% CI: 2.40-8.67; P = 0.0217) emerged as independent prognostic variables. P53 was mutated in 31/53 analyzed cases (60.4%). The most frequent gene variants were p.Arg175His and p.Cys135Tyr. High BMI (>25 kg/m2) associated with occurrence of p53 mutations (P < 0.0001). P53 mutated patients presented a worse prognosis compared to the wild-type ones (HR: 3.21; 95% CI: 1.43-7.23; P = 0.0047). Conclusion Diabetic, hypertensive and overweight metastatic CRC patients are a negative prognostic subgroup deserving specific therapeutic strategies. P53 mutations associate with prognosis and BMI unrevealing complex and unexplored connections between metabolism and cancer occurrence.

Abstract
The process of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) and the conversion between OIS and malignant transformation during carcinogenesis is poorly understood. Here, we show that following overactivation of oncogene Ras in lung epithelial cells, high-level transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-activated SMAD3, but not SMAD2 or SMAD4, plays a determinant role in inducing cellular senescence independent of the p53/p16/p15 senescence pathways. Importantly, SMAD3 binds a potential tumor suppressor ATOH8 to form a transcriptional complex that directly represses a series of cell cycle-promoting genes and consequently causes senescence in lung epithelial cells. Interestingly, the prosenescent SMAD3 converts to being oncogenic and essentially facilitates oncogenic Ras-driven malignant transformation. Furthermore, depleting Atoh8 rapidly accelerates oncogenic Ras-driven lung tumorigenesis, and lung cancers driven by mutant Ras and Atoh8 loss, but not by mutant Ras only, are sensitive to treatment of a specific SMAD3 inhibitor. Moreover, hypermethylation of the ATOH8 gene can be found in approximately 12% of clinical lung cancer cases. Together, our findings demonstrate not only epithelial cellular senescence directed by a potential tumor suppressor-controlled transcriptional program but also an important interplay between the prosenescent and transforming effects of TGF-β/SMAD3, potentially laying a foundation for developing early detection and anticancer strategies.

Chemoprevention for Colorectal Cancers: Are Chemopreventive Effects Different Between Left and Right Sided Colorectal Cancers? Dig Dis Sci 2022; 67:5227-5238. [PMID: 35230578 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-022-07431-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent studies have suggested that right- and left-sided colorectal cancers (CRCs) are molecularly distinct. In this study, we examined the association between the risk of right- and left-sided CRC and drug use to estimate their chemopreventive effects METHODS: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted using the data of hospitalized patients between 2014 and 2019 from nine hospital databases. The primary outcomes were right- and left-sided CRC. We evaluated the association of CRCs with drug use and clinical factors. Odds ratios adjusted for age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, and smoking status were calculated. We also compared the transcriptional profiling in precancerous lesions, including sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) RESULTS: A total of 307,938 patients, including 2745 with right-sided CRC and 4819 with left-sided CRC, were analyzed. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, and steroids was associated with a lower risk of both right- and left-sided CRCs. In contrast, statins, other lipid-lowering agents, and metformin were associated with a lower risk of left-sided CRC. Transcriptomic analysis showed that SSL, which predominantly develops in the right colon, was associated with a lower expression of lipid metabolism-related genes. CONCLUSIONS Targeting lipid metabolism may be useful for chemoprevention of left-sided CRCs, while development of right-sided CRCs may be independent of this pathway.

Integrated single-cell RNA-seq analysis identifies immune heterogeneity associated with KRAS/TP53 mutation status and tumor-sideness in colorectal cancers. Front Immunol 2022; 13:961350. [PMID: 36172359 PMCID: PMC9510840 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.961350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BackgroundThe main objective of this study was to analyze the effects of KRAS/TP53 mutation status and tumor sideness on the immune microenvironment of colorectal cancer using integrated scRNA-seq data.MethodsA total of 78 scRNA-seq datasets, comprising 42 treatment-naive colorectal tumors, 13 tumor adjacent tissues and 23 normal mucosa tissues were included. Standardized Seurat procedures were applied to identify cellular components with canonical cell marks. The batch-effect was assessed and corrected using harmony algorithm. The scMetabolism algorithm was used for single-cell metabolic analysis. The results and clinical significance were further validated using immunofluorescent-staining and TCGA-COAD datasets. Immune-infiltration scores of bulk-RNA-seq data were estimated using ssGSEA. The presto-wilcoxauc algorithm was used to identify differentially enriched genes or pathways across different subgroups. Two-sided p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsWe refined the landscape of functional immune cell subtypes, especially T cells and myeloid cells, across normal mucosa, tumor adjacent and tumor tissue. The existence and function of two states of exhausted CD8+ T (Tex) subtypes in colorectal cancer, and FOLR2+ LYVE1+ macrophages indicating unfavorable prognosis in colorectal cancer were identified and validated. The diverse tumor mutation status reshaped the immune cell function and immune checkpoint ligands/receptors (ICLs/ICRs) expression pattern. Importantly, the KRAS/TP53 dual mutations significantly reduced the major energy metabolic functions in immune cells, and promoted the cell-to-cell communications towards immunosuppression in colorectal cancers. The results revealed LAG3, CD24-SIGLEC10 and HBEGF-CD9 pathways as potential therapeutic targets for dual mutant colorectal cancers.ConclusionsWe revealed that the immune microenvironment underwent a gradual remodeling with an enrichment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells from normal mucosa to tumor regions in colorectal cancers. Moreover, we revealed the metabolic heterogeneity of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and suggested that the KRAS/TP53 dual mutation may impair antitumor immunity by reducing T and myeloid cell energy metabolism and reshaping cellular interactions toward immunosuppression.

Systematic pan-cancer analysis on the expression and role of regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene 12. Front Mol Biosci 2022; 9:946507. [PMID: 36148010 PMCID: PMC9486007 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2022.946507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Regulator of chromatin condensation 1 (RCC1) is the major guanine nucleotide exchange factor of RAN GTPase, which plays a key role in various biological processes such as cell cycle and DNA damage repair. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 3 (SNHG3) and small nucleolar RNA host gene12 are long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and are located on chromatin very close to the sequence of Regulator of chromatin condensation 1. Many studies have shown that they are aberrantly expressed in tumor tissues and can affect the proliferation and viability of cancer cells. Although the effects of Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 on cellular activity have been reported, respectively, their overall analysis on the pan-cancer level has not been performed. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 in 33 cancers through the Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Database. The results showed that Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 were highly expressed in a variety of tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. The expression of Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 in BRCA, LGG and LIHC was associated with TP53 mutations. In addition, Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 expression was closely associated with the prognosis of patients with multiple tumors. Immunocorrelation analysis indicated that Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 showed a correlation with multiple immune cell infiltration. The results of enrichment analysis suggested that Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 was involved in the regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis and other pathways. We found that these effects were mainly mediated by Regulator of chromatin condensation 1, while the trend of small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 regulation was also consistent with regulator of chromatin condensation 1. The important role played by Regulator of chromatin condensation 1 in tumor diseases was further corroborated by the study of adjacent lncRNAs.These findings provide new and comprehensive insights into the role of Regulator of chromatin condensation 1/small nucleolar RNA host gene 3/small nucleolar RNA host gene12 in tumor development and show their potential as clinical monitoring and therapy.

Abstract
BackgroundAlthough TP53 and SPOP are frequently mutated in metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), their prognostic value is ambiguous, and large sample studies are lacking, especially when they co-occur with other genetic alterations.MethodsGenomic data and patients’ clinical characteristics in PCa were downloaded from the cBioPortal database. We extensively analyzed other gene alterations in different mutation status of TP53 and SPOP. We further subdivided TP53 and SPOP mutation into subgroups based on different mutation status, and then evaluated the prognostic value. Two classification systems for TP53 survival analysis were used.ResultsA total of 2,172 patients with PCa were analyzed in our study, of which 1,799 were metastatic PCa patients. The mutual exclusivity analysis showed that TP53 and SPOP mutation has a strong mutual exclusion (p<0.001). In multivariable analysis, truncating TP53 mutations (HR=1.773, 95%CI:1.403-2.239, p<0.001) and other TP53 mutations(HR=1.555, 95%CI:1.267-1.908, p<0.001) were independent negative prognostic markers in metastatic PCa, whereas SPOP mutations(HR=0.592, 95%CI:0.427-0.819, p<0.001) were an independent prognostic factor for better prognosis. Mutations in TP53 were significantly associated with wild-type status for SPOP and CDK12, structural variants/fusions for TMPRSS2 and ERG, AR amplification and PTEN deletion (p<0.001). And truncating TP53 mutations have higher AR amplification rates than other TP53 mutations (p=0.022). Consistently, truncating TP53 mutations had a worse prognosis than other TP53 mutations (p<0.05). Then Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that Co-occurring TP53 mutations in AR amplification or PTEN deletion tumors significantly reduced survival (p<0.05). Furthermore, those with SPOP-mutant tumors with co-occurring TP53 truncating mutations had shorter overall survival than those with SPOP-mutant tumors with wild-type or other TP53 mutations.ConclusionsThis study found that TP53 and SPOP mutations were mutually exclusive and both were independent prognostic markers for metastatic PCa. Genomic alteration and survival analysis revealed that TP53 and SPOP mutations represented distinct molecular subtypes. Our data suggest that molecular stratification on the basis of TP53 and SPOP mutation status should be implemented for metastatic PCa to optimize and modify clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Simple Summary Prior studies have resulted in conflicting conclusions on the value of SMAD4 mutations as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic colorectal cancer. In a cohort study of 433 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, we showed that the presence of a coexisting mutation in TP53 is necessary to culminate in a negative overall survival impact in patients with SMAD4 mutations (multivariate HR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.44–4.36, p = 0.001). Our findings indicate that patients with concurrent SMAD4 and TP53 mutations represent a distinct poor-prognosis subgroup that may benefit from further translational studies. Abstract Prior studies have resulted in conflicting conclusions on the value of SMAD4 mutations as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic colorectal cancer. In this study, the impact of coexisting mutations with SMAD4 on overall survival was evaluated retrospectively in 433 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. SMAD4 mutation was found in 16.2% (70/433) of tumors. A systemic univariate and multivariate survival analysis model including age, gender, sidedness of primary tumor, RAS, BRAFV600E, APC, TP53 and SMAD4 status showed that SMAD4 mutations were not associated with worse prognosis (multivariate HR = 1.25, 95% CI 0.90–1.73, p = 0.18). However, coexisting mutations in SMAD4 and TP53 were significantly associated with worse overall survival (multivariate HR = 2.5, 95% CI 1.44–4.36, p = 0.001). The median overall survival of patients with coexisting SMAD4 and TP53 mutation was 24.2 months, compared to 42.2 months for the rest of the population (p = 0.002). Concurrent SMAD4 and TP53 defines a new subgroup of patients of metastatic colorectal cancer with poor clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose: Despite the high mortality of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), no new biomarker tools are available for predicting treatment response. We developed gene-mutation-based algorithms as a biomarker classifier to predict treatment response with better precision than the current predictive factors. Methods: Random forest machine learning (ML) was applied to identify the candidate algorithms using the MSK Cohort (n = 471) as a training set and validated in the TCGA Cohort (n = 221). Logistic regression, progression-free survival (PFS), and univariate/multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses were performed and the performance of the candidate algorithms was compared with the established risk parameters. Results: A novel 7-Gene Algorithm based on mutation profiles of seven KRAS-associated genes was identified. The algorithm was able to distinguish non-progressed (responder) vs. progressed (non-responder) patients with AUC of 0.97 and had predictive power for PFS with a hazard ratio (HR) of 16.9 (p < 0.001) in the MSK cohort. The predictive power of this algorithm for PFS was more pronounced in mCRC (HR = 16.9, p < 0.001, n = 388). Similarly, in the TCGA validation cohort, the algorithm had AUC of 0.98 and a significant predictive power for PFS (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The novel 7-Gene Algorithm can be further developed as a biomarker model for prediction of treatment response in mCRC patients to improve personalized therapies.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL) are the most common neoplasia of the lymphatic system. Circulating cell-free DNA released from tumor cells (ctDNA) has been studied in many tumor entities and successfully used to monitor treatment and follow up. Studies of ctDNA in DLBCL so far have mainly focused on tracking mutations in peripheral blood initially detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumor tissue from one lymphoma manifestation site. This approach, however, cannot capture the mutational heterogeneity of different tumor sites in its entirety. In this case report, we present repetitive targeted next-generation sequencing combined with digital PCR out of peripheral blood of a patient with DLBCL relapse. By combining both detection methods, we were able to detect a new dominant clone of ctDNA correlating with the development of secondary therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) during the course of observation. Conclusively, our case report reinforces the diagnostic importance of ctDNA in DLBCL as well as the importance of repeated ctDNA sequencing combined with focused digital PCR assays to display the dynamic mutational landscape during the clinical course.

Abstract
Pancreatic intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) is a recently recognized intraductal neoplasm. This study aimed to clarify the clinicopathologic and molecular features of this entity, based on a multi-institutional cohort of 16 pancreatic ITPNs and associated adenocarcinomas. The genomic profiles were analyzed using histology-driven multi-regional sequencing to provide insight on tumor heterogeneity and evolution. Furthermore, an exploratory transcriptomic characterization was performed on eight invasive adenocarcinomas. The clinicopathologic parameters and molecular alterations were further analyzed based on survival indices. The main findings were as follows: 1) the concomitant adenocarcinomas, present in 75% of cases, were always molecularly associated with the intraductal components. These data definitively establish ITPN as origin of invasive pancreatic adenocarcinoma; 2) alterations restricted to infiltrative components included mutations in chromatin remodeling genes ARID2, ASXL1, and PBRM1, and ERBB2-P3H4 fusion; 3) pancreatic ITPN can arise in the context of genetic syndromes, such as BRCA-germline and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome; 4) mutational profile: mutations in the classical PDAC drivers are present, but less frequently, in pancreatic ITPN; 5) novel genomic alterations were observed, including amplification of the Cyclin and NOTCH family genes and ERBB2, fusions involving RET and ERBB2, and RB1 disruptive variation; 6) chromosomal alterations: the most common was 1q gain (75% of cases); 7) by transcriptome analysis, ITPN-associated adenocarcinomas clustered into three subtypes that correlate with the activation of signaling mechanism pathways and tumor microenvironment, displaying squamous features in their majority; and 8) TP53 mutational status is a marker for adverse prognosis. ITPNs are precursor lesions of pancreatic cancer with a high malignant transformation risk. A personalized approach for patients with ITPN should recognize that such neoplasms could arise in the context of genetic syndromes. BRCA alterations, ERBB2 and RET fusions, and ERBB2 amplification are novel targets in precision oncology. The TP53 mutation status can be used as a prognostic biomarker.
