BACKGROUND

Recent data suggests that HER2-targeted treatment is efficacious in urothelial carcinoma (UC). We investigated the genomic, transcriptomic, and immune landscapes and clinical outcomes in UC segmented by expression.

METHODS

NextGen DNA/RNA sequencing was performed for 4743 UC tumors. A total of 3% (124/4125) of tumors had HER2 IHC and whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) data. -high and -low tumors were defined by ≥75th and <25th percentiles of expression, respectively. PD-L1 (SP142) positive staining was defined as ≥2+ and ≥5%. HER2 (4B5) positive staining was defined as ≥3+ and >10% or 2+ and >10% with positive HER2 in situ hybridization (ISH).

RESULTS

Of the patients who were -high, 79% (61/77) were HER2 positive via IHC. Tumors from lower tract UC had higher expression compared to upper tract UC (50 v 40 median TPM (mTPM), < 0.001). expression was similar between primary and metastatic tumors (47 v 47 mTPM, = 0.95). -high tumors had a higher prevalence of pathogenic mutations in , , and versus -low tumors, < 0.001. -high tumors had higher expressions of ADC target genes (12 v 8 mTPM) and (366 v 74 mTPM) versus -low ( < 0.001), as well as better overall survival from time of tissue sampling than -low (HR 1.71, < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Our study demonstrated a high concordance between HER2 expression by IHC and gene expression by WTS in UC. Differences in ADC target expression between -high vs. -low UC may provide a rationale for combination treatment strategies with HER2-ADC. The association between high expression and survival advantage warrants further investigation.

背景

近期数据表明，HER2靶向治疗在尿路上皮癌（UC）中有效。我们研究了按HER2表达进行分类的UC的基因组、转录组和免疫图谱以及临床结局。

方法

对4743例UC肿瘤进行了二代DNA/RNA测序。共有3%（124/4125）的肿瘤有HER2免疫组化（IHC）和全转录组测序（WTS）数据。HER2高表达和低表达肿瘤分别定义为HER2表达的第75百分位数及以上和第25百分位数以下。程序性死亡受体配体1（PD-L1，SP142）阳性染色定义为≥2+且≥5%。HER2（4B5）阳性染色定义为≥3+且>10%或2+且>10%同时HER2原位杂交（ISH）阳性。

结果

在HER2高表达的患者中，79%（61/77）通过IHC检测为HER2阳性。下尿路UC的肿瘤与上尿路UC相比HER2表达更高（中位转录每百万映射读取数（mTPM）分别为50和40，P<0.001）。原发性和转移性肿瘤之间的HER2表达相似（mTPM分别为47和47，P = 0.95）。与HER2低表达肿瘤相比，HER2高表达肿瘤中PIK3CA、RB1和FGFR3的致病突变发生率更高，P<0.001。与HER2低表达肿瘤相比，HER2高表达肿瘤中ADC靶基因TUBB3（mTPM为12 vs 8）和CLDN18.2（mTPM为366 vs 74）的表达更高（P<0.001），并且从组织采样时间起的总生存期也更好（风险比1.71，P<0.001）。
