3537 Background: Pathologic(p)stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients exhibit high levels of genetic heterogeneity and the association between the genomic characteristics of (p)stage I LUADs and tumor recurrence remains poorly understood. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring after resection represents a useful tool to predict response to therapy and tumor recurrence but its application in (p)stage I LUAD patients remains controversial. In addition, it is of great clinical interest to decipher the difference of genetic features between ground-glass opacity (GGO) and solid nodules (non-GGO) subgroups. Methods: Tumor tissues and matched post-operative plasma samples were collected from a total of 86 Chinese (p)stage I LUAD patients who were enrolled in a clinical study (NCT03172156). Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed using capture-based hybrid next generation sequencing by targeting 422 cancer relevant genes. Results: EGFR and TP53 represent commonly mutated genes in this cohort of (p)stage I lung adenocarcinoma, followed by alterations in ALK, PIK3CA, STK11and MYC. For a median follow up period of 21.54 months after surgical resection, we observed that ctDNA positivity significantly correlated with an increased probability of early tumor recurrence or metastasis ( P= 0.03, HR = 7.9), and in particular, the EGFR mutation status of ctDNA samples rather than that of primary tumor samples significantly correlated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS). Further comparison between GGO and non-GGO subgroups indicated that the frequency of TP53 mutations in non-GGO was markedly higher than that in GGO (48% vs 20%, P< 0.05). In addition, pathway analysis showed that the epigenetic regulation pathway was more frequently affected in the GGO subgroup, while impaired apoptosis/cell cycle pathway was more enriched in the non-GGO LUADs. Conclusions: Our data show that ctDNA positivity, including the EGFR mutation status, significantly correlated with early relapse or metastasis after surgery, representing a useful tool to predict treatment response and tumor relapse in (p)stage I LUAD patients. Mutated TP53 was more abundant in non-GGO comparing to GGO (p)stage I LUADs that may act as potential oncogenic driver in LUAD development and/or disease progression. Clinical trial information: NCT03172156 .

Significant advances in targeted therapy have been made in recent years for patients with lung adenocarcinoma. These targeted therapies have made molecular testing of paramount importance to drive therapeutic decisions. Material for testing is often limited, particularly in cytology specimens and small core biopsies. A reliable screening tool is invaluable in triaging limited tissue and selection for epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) mutation testing. We hypothesized that the immunohistochemistry (IHC) profile of lung adenocarcinoma predicts EGFR mutation status. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1)/napsin A IHC profile and EGFR mutation status in 339 lung adenocarcinomas at our academic institution. In our cohort, we found that 92.3% of cases were positive for TTF-1 and/or napsin A by IHC with an EGFR positivity rate of 17.3%. Importantly, 7.7% of the cases were dual TTF-1/napsin A negative, and none of these cases contained EGFR mutations. This finding supports the use of TTF-1 and napsin A IHC to identify cases where EGFR mutation status will be negative, thus preserving limited tissue for other ancillary testing.

The EGFR gene was one of the first molecules to be selected for targeted gene therapy. EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma, which is responsive to EGFR inhibitors, is characterized by a distinct oncogenic pathway in which unique microRNA (miRNA)–mRNA interactions have been observed. However, little information is available about the miRNA–mRNA regulatory network involved. Both miRNA and mRNA expression profiles were investigated using microarrays in 155 surgically resected specimens of lung adenocarcinoma with a known EGFR mutation status (52 mutated and 103 wild-type cases). An integrative analysis of the data was performed to identify the unique miRNA–mRNA regulatory network in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma. Expression profiling of miRNAs and mRNAs yielded characteristic miRNA/mRNA signatures (19 miRNAs/431 mRNAs) in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma. Five of the 19 miRNAs were previously listed as EGFR-mutation-specific miRNAs (i.e., miR-532-3p, miR-500a-3p, miR-224-5p, miR-502-3p, and miR-532-5p). An integrative analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression revealed a refined list of putative miRNA–mRNA interactions, of which 63 were potentially involved in EGFR-mutated tumors. Network structural analysis provided a comprehensive view of the complex miRNA–mRNA interactions in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma, including DUSP4 and MUC4 axes. Overall, this observational study provides insight into the unique miRNA–mRNA regulatory network present in EGFR-mutated tumors. Our findings, if validated, would inform future research examining the interplay of miRNAs and mRNAs in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma.
