Platinum chemotherapy (CT) remains the backbone of systemic therapy for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway plays a central role in the repair of the DNA damage exerted by platinum agents. Alteration in this repair mechanism may affect patients' survival.
We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 38 patients with extensive disease (ED)-SCLC who underwent platinum-CT at the Clinical Oncology Unit, Careggi University Hospital, Florence (Italy), from 2015 to 2020. mRNA expression analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) characterization of three NER pathway genes-namely , , and -were performed on patient tumor samples.
Overall, elevated expression of genes was observed in SCLC patients compared to healthy controls. Patients with low and expression levels exhibited a better median progression-free survival (mPFS = 7.1 . 4.9 months, = 0.39 for and mPFS = 6.9 . 4.8 months, = 0.093 for ) and overall survival (mOS = 8.7 . 6.0 months, = 0.4 for and mOS = 7.2 . 6.2 months, = 0.13 for ). Genotyping analysis of five SNPs of genes showed a longer survival in patients harboring the wild-type genotype or the heterozygous variant of the rs11615 SNP ( = 0.24 for PFS and = 0.14 for OS) and of the rs13181 and rs1799793 SNPs ( = 0.43 and = 0.26 for PFS and = 0.21 and = 0.16 for OS, respectively) compared to patients with homozygous mutant genotypes.
The comprehensive analysis of gene expression and SNP variants appears to identify patients who derive greater survival benefits from platinum-CT.
铂类化疗(CT)仍然是小细胞肺癌(SCLC)患者全身治疗的主要方法。核苷酸切除修复(NER)途径在铂类药物所致DNA损伤的修复中起核心作用。这种修复机制的改变可能影响患者的生存。
我们对2015年至2020年在意大利佛罗伦萨卡雷吉大学医院临床肿瘤科接受铂类CT治疗的38例广泛期疾病(ED)-SCLC患者的数据进行了回顾性分析。对患者肿瘤样本进行了三个NER途径基因(即 、 和 )的mRNA表达分析和单核苷酸多态性(SNP)特征分析。
总体而言,与健康对照相比,SCLC患者中 基因表达升高。 表达水平低的患者表现出更好的中位无进展生存期(mPFS = 7.1对4.9个月, 时 = 0.39,mPFS = 6.9对4.8个月, 时 = 0.093)和总生存期(mOS = 8.7对6.0个月, 时 = 0.4,mOS = 7.2对6.2个月, 时 = 0.13)。对 基因的五个SNP进行基因分型分析显示,与纯合突变基因型患者相比,携带rs11615 SNP野生型基因型或杂合变异的患者生存期更长(PFS时 = 0.24,OS时 = 0.14),rs13181和rs1799793 SNP的患者也是如此(PFS时 = 0.43和 = 0.26,OS时 = 0.21和 = 0.16)。
对 基因表达和SNP变异的综合分析似乎可以识别出从铂类CT中获得更大生存益处的患者。
