Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC | Source: | TRANSLATIONAL ONCOLOGY, 10(3), p. 450-458 | Abstract: | Advances in molecular analyses based on high-throughput technologies can contribute to a more accurate classification of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as well as a better prediction of both the disease course and the efficacy of targeted therapies. Here we set out to analyze whether global gene expression profiling performed in a group of early-stage NSCLC patients can contribute to classifying tumor subtypes and predicting the disease prognosis. Gene expression profiling was performed with the use of the microarray technology in a training set of 108 NSCLC samples. Subsequently, the recorded findings were validated further in an independent cohort of 44 samples. We demonstrated that the specific gene patterns differed significantly between lung adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell lung carcinoma (SCC) samples. Furthermore, we developed and validated a novel 53-gene signature distinguishing SCC from AC with 93% accuracy. Evaluation of the classifier performance in the validation set showed that our predictor classified the AC patients with 100% sensitivity and 88% specificity. We revealed that gene expression patterns observed in the early stages of NSCLC may help elucidate the histological distinctions of tumors through identification of different gene-mediated biological processes involved in the pathogenesis of histologically distinct tumors. However, we showed here that the gene expression profiles did not provide additional value in predicting the progression status of the early-stage NSCLC. Nevertheless, the gene expression signature analysis enabled us to perform a reliable subclassification of NSCLC tumors, and it can therefore become a useful diagnostic tool for a more accurate selection of patients for targeted therapies. | Notes: | [Charkiewicz, Radoslaw; Niklinski, Jacek; Sulewska, Anetta; Michalska-Falkowska, Anna; Naumnik, Wojciech] Med Univ Bialystok, Dept Clin Mol Biol, Waszyngtona 13, PL-15269 Bialystok, Poland.
