AbstractGene expression signatures have been used to predict the outcome of chemotherapy for breast cancer. The nucleosome footprint of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) carries gene expression information of the original tissues and thus may be used to predict the response to chemotherapy. Here we carried out the nucleosome positioning on cfDNA from 85 breast cancer patients and 85 healthy individuals and two cancer cell lines T-47D and MDA-MB-231 using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (LCWGS) method. The patients showed distinct nucleosome footprints at Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) compared with normal donors. In order to identify the footprints of cfDNA corresponding with the responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients, we mapped on nucleosome positions on cfDNA of patients with different responses: responders (pretreatment, n = 28; post-1 cycle, post-3/4 cycles, and post-8 cycles of treatment, n = 12) and nonresponders (pretreatment, n = 10; post-1 cycle, post-3/4 cycles, and post-8 cycles of treatment, n = 10). The coverage depth near TSSs in plasma cfDNA differed significantly between responders and nonresponders at pretreatment, and also after neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment cycles. We identified 232 TSSs with differential footprints at pretreatment and 321 after treatment and found enrichment in Gene Ontology terms such as cell growth inhibition, tumor suppressor, necrotic cell death, acute inflammatory response, T cell receptor signaling pathway, and positive regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor production. These results suggest that cfDNA nucleosome footprints may be used to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer patients and thus may provide help in decision making for individual patients.

Breast cancer is a malignancy which invaded breast tissue in the form of ductal or lobular. One most therapywhich is given is neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy can reduce tumor size so that surgerycan be performed with good breast removal with Modification of Radical Mastectomy (MRM) and BreastConservative Therapy (BCT). This purpose from this research is to find out neoadjuvant chemotherapy response inLocally Advanced Breast Cancer Patients which has received chemotherapy treatment in RSUP dr MohammadHoesin Palembang. This observational descriptive study was conducted at RSUP Mohammad Hoesin Palembang inthe period between October until November 2019. The sample of this study was locally advanced breast Cancerpatients who underwent chemotherapy that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were obtained byinterviews and observed medical records from the patients which were then analyzed by univariate analysis usingSPSS version 25. In this study there were 34 locally advanced breast cancer patients who fulfilled the inclusion andexclusion criteria. 24 of 34 patients (70,6%) received positive response and 10 of 34 patients (29,4%) receivednegative response.

Worldwide breast cancer ranks first in mortality and incidence rates in women over 20 years old. Rather than one disease, breast cancer is a heterogeneous group of diseases that express distinct molecular profiles. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an important therapeutic strategy for breast cancer patients independently of their molecular subtype, with the drawback of resistance development. In addition, chemotherapy has adverse effects that combined with resistance could contribute to lower overall survival. Although great efforts have been made to find diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer and for response to targeted and immune therapy for this pathology, little has been explored regarding biomarkers of response to anthracyclines and taxanes based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This work aimed to evaluate the molecular profile of patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that could be used as biomarkers of chemotherapy response and overall survival. Breast cancer patients who were candidates for neoadjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled in this study. After treatment and according to their pathological response, they were assigned as sensitive or resistant. To evaluate DEGs, Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia Gene and Genome (KEGG), and protein–protein interactions, RNA-seq information from all patients was obtained by next-generation sequencing. A total of 1985 DEGs were found, and KEGG analysis indicated a great number of DEGs in metabolic pathways, pathways in cancer, cytokine–cytokine receptor interactions, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions. A selection of 73 DEGs was used further for an analysis of overall survival using the METABRIC study and the ductal carcinoma dataset of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Nine DEGs correlated with overall survival, of which the subexpression of C1QTNF3, CTF1, OLFML3, PLA2R1, PODN, KRT15, HLA-A, and the overexpression of TUBB and TCP1 were found in resistant patients and related to patients with lower overall survival.

Abstract Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is one important therapeutic strategy for breast cancer with the drawback of resistance development. Chemotherapy has adverse effects that combined with resistance could contribute to lower overall survival. This work aimed to evaluate the molecular profile of patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy to discover differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that could be used as biomarkers of chemotherapy response and overall survival. Breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled in this study and according to their pathological response were assigned as sensitive or resistant. To evaluate DEGs, GO, KEGG, and protein-protein interactions, RNAseq information from all patients was obtained by next-generation sequencing. A total of 1985 DEGs were found and KEGG analysis indicated a great number of DEGs in metabolic pathways, pathways in cancer, cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions. A selection of 73 DEGs was used further for an analysis of overall survival using the METABRIC study. Seven of those DEGs correlated with overall survival, of them the sub-expression of C1QTNF3, CTF1, OLFML3, PLA2R1, PODN and the over expression of TUBB and TCP1 were found in resistant patients and related to patients with lower overall survival.

505 Background: To evaluate, in breast cancer patients treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the early predictive value of the FDG uptake decrease for the assessment of the pathological complete response (pCR). Methods: Forty seven women with non metastatic with conventional imaging, non inflammatory, large or locally advanced breast cancer were included. Pathological tumour regression determined on surgical resection specimens served as the gold standard for the assessment of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy response. According to the Sataloff classification, patients were classified in two groups: patients with a pathological complete response (pCR) and patients with a pathological non complete response (non pCR). FDG uptake of breast lesions was evaluated before and after the first course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, using Standard Uptake Value maximum (SUV) corrected by body surface area and glycaemia. Relations between baseline [18F]-FDG uptake and clinical, histopathological and biological parameters were assessed by Mann-Whitney test. Predictive value of the FDG decrease for the assessment of the pCR was studied with logistic regression analysis. Results: An elevated baseline SUV was found independently associated with a high mitotic activity (p<0.002), tumour grading (p<0.004), high score of nuclear pleomorphism (p= 0.03) and positive hormonal receptor status (p<0.005). After completion of chemotherapy, 11 (23%) of the 47 breast tumours examined at surgery showed a pCR while 36 (77%) showed a non pCR. The relative decrease (ΔSUV) after the first course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was significantly greater in the pCR group than in the non pCR group (p< 10-4). A SUV decrease of 85.4% ± 21.9% in pCR patients versus 22.6% ± 36.6% in non pCR patients was found. ΔSUV<-60% predicted pCR with an accuracy of 87%. With multivariate logistic regression analyses, ΔSUV<-60% was the only predictive factor of the pCR Conclusions: In breast cancer patients treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the FDG uptake decrease, after only one course of treatment, is an early and powerful predictor of the pCR. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background. Currently the choice of breast cancer therapy is based on prognostic factors. The proliferation marker Ki-67 is used increasingly to determine the method of therapy. The current study analyses the predictive value of Ki-67 in foreseeing breast cancer patients’ responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods. This study includes patients with invasive breast cancer treated between 2008 and 2013. The clinical response was assessed by correlating Ki-67 to histological examination, mammography, and ultrasonography findings.Results. The average Ki-67 value in our patients collectively (n=77) is 34.9 ± 24.6%. The average Ki-67 value is the highest with 37.4 ± 24.0% in patients with a pCR. The Ki-67 values do not differ significantly among the 3 groups: pCR versus partial pathological response versus stable disease/progress (P=0.896). However, Ki-67 values of patients with luminal, Her2 enriched, and basal-like cancers differed significantly from each other. Furthermore, within the group of luminal tumors Ki-67 values of patients with versus without pCR also differed significantly.Conclusion. Our data shows that the Ki-67 value predicts the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a function of the molecular subtype, reflecting the daily routine concerning Ki-67 and its impressing potential and limitation as a predictive marker for neoadjuvant chemotherapy response.

AbstractObesity is a known factor increasing the risk of developing breast cancer and reducing disease free survival. In addition to these well-documented effects, recent studies have shown that obesity is also affecting response to chemotherapy. Among the multiple dysregulations associated with obesity, increased level of the apelin adipokine has been recently shown to be directly involved in the association between obesity and increased breast cancer progression. In this study, we analyzed in a retrospective cohort of 62 breast cancer patients the impact of obesity and tumoral apelin expression on response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In the multivariate logistic regression, obesity and high tumoral apelin expression were associated with a reduced response to NAC in our cohort. However, obesity and high tumoral apelin expression were not correlated, suggesting that those two parameters could be independently associated with reduced NAC response. These findings should be confirmed in independent cohorts.
