Abstract Backgrounds: Astrocyte-elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) functions as an oncogene and regulates angiogenesis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this prospective study, we assessed the values of plasma AEG-1 mRNA expression by liquid biopsy associated with tumor response and survival in NSCLC patients treated with pemetrexed. Methods: Patients diagnosed advanced NSCLC were enrolled to be treated with pemetrexed combined platinum as first-line chemotherapy. All patients underwent blood sampling before any cancer treatment (C0) and at first response evaluation after two cycles (C2) treatments. Response to chemotherapy and survival were assessed. Plasma mRNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and quantification of RNA was performed by real-time PCR.Results: A total of 50 patients with advanced NSCLC were included and 13 of 50 patients combined with bevacizumab. In patient groups of SD (n = 13) and PD (n = 10), the plasma mRNA of AEG-1, thymidylate synthase (TS) and CK19 were elevated significantly at C2 compared to patients in treatment response group (PR, n = 27) (PR v.s. SD or PD, AEG-1: 1.22 ± 0.80 v.s. 4.51 ± 15.45, p = 0.043). NSCLC patients had elevated AEG-1 (AEG-1 ≥ 2) after 2-cycle chemotherapy had shorter PFS and OS (high AEG-1 v.s. low AEG-1, median, PFS: 5.5 v.s. 11.9 months, p = 0.021; OS: 25.9 v.s. 40.8 months, p = 0.019, respectively). In Cox regression analysis, increased plasma mRNA expression of AEG-1indicated poor prognosis in survival.Conclusion: Circulating mRNA concentration of AEG-1 could be a predictive and prognostic biomarker in NSCLC patients treated with pemetrexed. Increased expression of AEG-1 contributed to the chemoresistance and caused lung cancer progression.

The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has led to dramatic changes in the treatment strategy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the observation of improved overall survival in NSCLC patients treated with ICIs, their efficacy varies greatly among different immune and molecular profiles in tumors. Particularly, the clinical significance of ICIs for oncogene-driven NSCLC has been controversial. In this review, we provide recent clinical and preclinical data focused on the relationship between oncogenic drivers and immunological characteristics and discuss the future direction of immunotherapy in NSCLC patients harboring such genetic alterations

Abstract Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent type of lung cancer accounting for 80–85% of all lung cancer cases. Various genetic studies have tried to reveal the association of REV3L (Protein reversion less 3-like) gene mutations with cancer, including lung cancer but no such study has been carried out in the population of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).Methods: The selected REV3L variants were genotyped using the TaqMan allele discrimination assay in 550 subjects (203 NSCLC patients and 347 healthy controls). The association of variants was evaluated by logistic regression.Results: Out of the four REV3L variants genotyped, we found rs1002481, rs462779, and rs465646 significantly associated with NSCLC risk with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 3.5 (1.98–6.3 at 95% CI ), p value = 0.00002; OR = 4.4 (1.8–10.4 at 95% CI ), p value = 0.00075; and OR = 2.4 (1.47–4.008 at 95% CI ), p value = 0.00053, respectively.Conclusion: Our data suggest a strong association of variants rs1002481, rs462779, rs465646 with NSCLC. This association is indicative of a potential role of mutations in the REV3L gene as risk factor for the development of NSCLC in the studied population. Although a first report from any Indian population, these variants have been previously reported to be associated with lung and colorectal cancers in different world populations. These data along with our data supports the notation that these variants can be used as potential prognostic biomarker.

Introduction: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the second most common cancer globally. The mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) proto-oncogene can be targeted in NSCLC patients. Methods: We performed a literature search on PubMed in December 2019 for studies on MET inhibitors and NSCLC. Phase II and III clinical trials published in English between 2014 and 2019 were selected. Results: Data on MET inhibitors (tivantinib, cabozantinib, and crizotinib) and anti-MET antibodies (emibetuzumab and onartuzumab) are reported in the text. Conclusion: Emibetuzumab could be used for NSCLC cases with high MET expression. Further, studies on onartuzumab failed to prove its efficacy, while the results of tivantinib trials were clinically but not statistically significant. Additionally, cabozantinib was effective, but adverse reactions were common, and crizotinib was generally well-tolerated.

The S100 protein family is involved in cancer cell invasion and metastasis, but its prognostic value in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been elucidated. In the present study we investigated the prognostic role of mRNA expression of each individual S100 in NSCLC patients through the Kaplan–Meier plotter (KM plotter) database. Expression of 14 members of the S100 family correlated with overall survival (OS) for all NSCLC patients; 18 members were associated with OS in adenocarcinoma, but none were associated with OS in squamous cell carcinoma. In particular, high mRNA expression level of S100B was associated with better OS in NSCLC patients. The prognostic value of S100 according to smoking status, pathological grades, clinical stages, and chemotherapeutic treatment of NSCLC was further assessed. Although the results should be further verified in clinical trials our findings provide new insights into the prognostic roles of S100 proteins in NSCLC and might promote development of S100-targeted inhibitors for the treatment of NSCLC.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a deadly malignancy with a high prevalence worldwide. A reliable biomarker that can predict the prognosis is required to determine the therapeutic strategy. TIP30 was first identified as a tumor suppressor. A number of mechanistic studies indicated that the downregulation of TIP30 enhances the stemness, migration and survival of NSCLC cells. However, the clinical relevance of TIP30 for the prognosis of NSCLC is unknown. From a meta-analysis of public microarray datasets, we showed the upregulation of TIP30 mRNA expression was associated with worse overall survival of NSCLC patients, which contradicted the tumor suppressive role of TIP30. It is worth noting that the TIP30 mRNA expression was not correlated with its protein expression in 15 NSCLC cell lines. The results from the immunohistochemistry of a tissue microarray showed the downregulation of the TIP30 protein expression was associated with a higher risk of metastasis. In addition, the decrease in TIP30 protein was correlated with worse overall and progression-free survival of the NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis suggested the loss of TIP30 protein was an independent factor to predict the poor prognosis of NSCLC. Our data indicated that TIP30 protein, not mRNA, would be a potential prognostic biomarker of NSCLC.
