Mutations at sites crucial for the interaction between RAD51 and BRC domains impair the ability of BRCA2 homologous recombination. We aimed to clarify whether BRCA2 BRC domain-associated mutation correlates with sensibility of platinum-based chemotherapy and survival in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).
We identified BRCA2 BRC domain mutations by sequencing PCR-amplified amplicons of genomic DNA isolated from tumor tissues and peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL)in 113 patients with advanced EOC, and assessed platinum-free interval (PFI), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
21.23% (24 of 113) cases with somatic missense mutation but not germline mutation were identified. Among 24 cases with mutation, 33.3% (8 of 24) cases with nonsense mutation (C-terminal truncation) significantly prolonged median PFI (37 vs 8 months,P = 0.000), PFS (43 vs 14 months, p = 0.000) and OS (56 vs 31 months, P = 0.002); 66.7% (16 of 24) cases with missense mutation also prolonged median PFI (15 vs 8 months, P = 0.044), PFS (21 vs 14 months, P = 0.049) and OS (38 vs 31 months, P = 0.037), compared to those without any mutation.
Somatic mutations in BRCA2 BRC domain confer a higher sensitivity to platinum-based therapy and are associated with a favourable survival in HGSOC.
RAD51 和 BRC 结构域之间相互作用的关键部位的突变,会削弱 BRCA2 同源重组的能力。我们旨在阐明 BRCA2 BRC 结构域相关突变是否与高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSOC)对铂类化疗的敏感性和生存相关。
我们通过对 113 例晚期 EOC 患者肿瘤组织和外周血白细胞(PBL)基因组 DNA 扩增片段进行测序,鉴定 BRCA2 BRC 结构域突变,并评估无铂间隔时间(PFI)、无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)。
发现 24 例(21.23%)存在体细胞错义突变而无胚系突变。在 24 例突变患者中,33.3%(8 例)存在无义突变(C 端截断)显著延长了中位 PFI(37 个月 vs 8 个月,P = 0.000)、PFS(43 个月 vs 14 个月,P = 0.000)和 OS(56 个月 vs 31 个月,P = 0.002);66.7%(16 例)的错义突变患者也延长了中位 PFI(15 个月 vs 8 个月,P = 0.044)、PFS(21 个月 vs 14 个月,P = 0.049)和 OS(38 个月 vs 31 个月,P = 0.037),与无任何突变的患者相比。
BRCA2 BRC 结构域的体细胞突变赋予了对铂类治疗更高的敏感性,并与 HGSOC 的良好生存相关。
