    الوصف: BackgroundSuccessfully combining targeted agents with chemotherapy is an important future goal for cancer therapy. However, an improvement in patient outcomes requires an enhanced understanding of the tumor biomarkers that predict for drug sensitivity. NRG Oncology/Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Study GOG-86P was one of the first attempts to combine targeted agents (bevacizumab or temsirolimus) with chemotherapy in patients with advanced endometrial cancer. Herein we performed exploratory analyses to examine the relationship between mutations in TP53, the most commonly mutated gene in cancer, with outcomes on GOG-86P.MethodsTP53 mutational status was determined and correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) on GOG-86P.ResultsMutations in TP53 were associated with improved PFS and OS for patients that received bevacizumab as compared to temsirolimus (PFS: HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.31, 0.75; OS: HR: 0.61, 95% CI 0.38, 0.98). By contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in PFS or OS between arms for cases with WT TP53.ConclusionsThis exploratory study suggests that combining chemotherapy with bevacizumab, but not temsirolimus, may enhance PFS and OS for patients whose tumors harbor mutant p53. These data set the stage for larger clinical studies evaluating the potential of TP53 mutational status as a biomarker to guide choice of treatment for endometrial cancer patients.

    الوصف: ObjectiveGynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) 177 demonstrated that addition of paclitaxel to a backbone of adriamycin/cisplatin improves overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Using patient specimens from GOG-177, our objective was to identify potential mechanisms underlying the improved clinical response to taxanes. Stathmin (STMN1) is a recognized poor prognostic marker in endometrial cancer that functions as a microtubule depolymerizing protein, allowing cells to transit rapidly through mitosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that one possible mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of paclitaxel could be to counter the impact of stathmin.MethodsWe analyzed the expression of stathmin by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 69 specimens from patients enrolled on GOG-177. We also determined the correlation between stathmin mRNA expression and clinical outcomes in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset for endometrial cancer.ResultsWe first established that stathmin expression was significantly associated with shorter PFS and OS for all analyzed cases in both GOG-177 and TCGA. However, subgroup analysis from GOG-177 revealed that high stathmin correlated with poor PFS and OS particularly in patients who received adriamycin/cisplatin only. In contrast, there was no statistically significant association between stathmin expression and OS or PFS in patients treated with paclitaxel/adriamycin/cisplatin.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that high stathmin expression is a poor prognostic marker in endometrial cancer. Paclitaxel may help to negate the impact of stathmin overexpression when treating high risk endometrial cancer cases.

    الوصف: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and proteasome inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma and lymphoma, respectively, but have not achieved similar activity as single agents in solid tumors. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the activity of the combination of an HDAC inhibitor and a proteasome inhibitor in a variety of tumor models. However, the mechanisms underlying sensitivity and resistance to this combination are not well-understood. This study explores the role of autophagy in adaptive resistance to dual HDAC and proteasome inhibition. Studies focus on ovarian and endometrial gynecologic cancers, two diseases with high mortality and a need for novel treatment approaches. We found that nanomolar concentrations of the proteasome inhibitor ixazomib and HDAC inhibitor romidepsin synergistically induce cell death in the majority of gynecologic cancer cells and patient-derived organoid (PDO) models created using endometrial and ovarian patient tumor tissue. However, some models were not sensitive to this combination, and mechanistic studies implicated autophagy as the main mediator of cell survival in the context of dual HDAC and proteasome inhibition. Whereas the combination of ixazomib and romidepsin reduces autophagy in sensitive gynecologic cancer models, autophagy is induced following drug treatment of resistant cells. Pharmacologic or genetic inhibition of autophagy in resistant cells reverses drug resistance as evidenced by an enhanced anti-tumor response both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our findings demonstrate a role for autophagic-mediated cell survival in proteasome inhibitor and HDAC inhibitor-resistant gynecologic cancer cells. These data reveal a new approach to overcome drug resistance by inhibiting the autophagy pathway.

    الوصف: Most endometrial cancers express the hormone receptor estrogen receptor alpha (ER) and are driven by excess estrogen signaling. However, evaluation of the estrogen response in endometrial cancer cells has been limited by the availability of hormonally responsive in vitro models, with one cell line, Ishikawa, being used in most studies. Here, we describe a novel, adherent endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) cell line model, HCI-EC-23. We show that HCI-EC-23 retains ER expression and that ER functionally responds to estrogen induction over a range of passages. We also demonstrate that this cell line retains paradoxical activation of ER by tamoxifen, which is also observed in Ishikawa and is consistent with clinical data. The mutational landscape shows that HCI-EC-23 is mutated at many of the commonly altered genes in EEC, has relatively few copy-number alterations, and is microsatellite instable high (MSI-high). In vitro proliferation of HCI-EC-23 is strongly reduced upon combination estrogen and progesterone treatment. HCI-EC-23 exhibits strong estrogen dependence for tumor growth in vivo and tumor size is reduced by combination estrogen and progesterone treatment. Molecular characterization of estrogen induction in HCI-EC-23 revealed hundreds of estrogen-responsive genes that significantly overlapped with those regulated in Ishikawa. Analysis of ER genome binding identified similar patterns in HCI-EC-23 and Ishikawa, although ER exhibited more bound sites in Ishikawa. This study demonstrates that HCI-EC-23 is an estrogen- and progesterone-responsive cell line model that can be used to study the hormonal aspects of endometrial cancer.

    الوصف: Nearly a third of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) do not respond to initial therapy and have an overall poor prognosis. However, there are no validated tools that accurately predict which patients will not respond. Our objective is to create and validate accurate models of prediction for treatment response in HGSC. This is a retrospective case–control study that integrates comprehensive clinical and genomic data from 88 patients with HGSC from a single institution. Responders were those patients with a progression-free survival of at least 6 months after treatment. Only patients with complete clinical information and frozen specimen at surgery were included. Gene, miRNA, exon, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression, gene copy number, genomic variation, and fusion-gene determination were extracted from RNA-sequencing data. DNA methylation analysis was performed. Initial selection of informative variables was performed with univariate ANOVA with cross-validation. Significant variables (p < 0.05) were included in multivariate lasso regression prediction models. Initial models included only one variable. Variables were then combined to create complex models. Model performance was measured with area under the curve (AUC). Validation of all models was performed using TCGA HGSC database. By integrating clinical and genomic variables, we achieved prediction performances of over 95% in AUC. Most performances in the validation set did not differ from the training set. Models with DNA methylation or lncRNA underperformed in the validation set. Integrating comprehensive clinical and genomic data from patients with HGSC results in accurate and robust prediction models of treatment response.

Disease recurrence has been shown to have a significant impact on mortality. However, to date, there are no accurate and validated prediction models that would discriminate which individual patients are likely to recur. Reliably predicting recurrence would be of benefit for treatment decisions following surgery. We present an integrated model constructed with comprehensive clinical, pathological and molecular features designed to discriminate risk of recurrence for patients with endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma.Subjects and methods: A cohort of endometrioid endometrial cancer patients treated at our institution was assembled. Clinical characteristics were extracted from patient charts. Primary tumors from these patients were obtained and total tissue RNA extracted for RNA sequencing. A prediction model was designed containing both clinical characteristics and molecular profiling of the tumors. The same analysis was carried out with data derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas for replication and external validation.Results: Prediction models derived from our institutional data predicted recurrence with high accuracy as evidenced by areas under the curve approaching 1. Similar trends were observed in the analysis of TCGA data. Further, a scoring system for risk of recurrence was devised that ...

    الوصف: One of the prognostic factors most highly associated with ovarian cancer survival is response to initial chemotherapy. Current prediction models of chemo-response built with comprehensive molecular datasets, like The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), could be improved by including clinical and outcomes data designed to study response to treatment. The objective of this study was to create a prediction model of ovarian cancer chemo-response using clinical-pathological features, and to compare its performance with a similar TCGA clinical model.
