BackgroundLung cancer remains a common malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Although dramatic progress made in multimodal therapies, it still has a poor prognosis. The Family with sequence similarity 83 (FAM83) of poorly characterized proteins are defined by the presence of the conserved DUF1669 domain of unknown function at their N-termini, most of which significantly elevated levels of expression in multiple cancers. However, the expression and prognostic values of different FAM83 family in lung cancer, especially in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), have not been clarified.MethodsONCOMINE, UALCAN, GEPIA, Kaplan–Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, and STRING databases were utilized in this study.ResultsThe transcriptional levels of FAM83A/B/C/D/F/G/H were up-regulated in patients with NSCLC. A noticeable correlation was found between the over-expressions of FAM83A/B/D/F/H and clinical cancer stages in NSCLC patients. Besides, higher mRNA expressions of FAM83A/B/C/D/F/H were discovered to be expressively associated with overall survival (OS) in lung cancer patients, furthermore, FAM83A, FAM83C, and FAM83H in OS group achieved 0.9475/1, 0.971897/1, and 0.9454545/0.8974359 specificity/sensitivity in distinguishing short survivors from long survivors, respectively. Moreover, a high mutation rate of FAM83 family (51%) was also observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, and genetic alteration in the FAM83 family was associated with shorter OS and disease-free survival (DFS) in LUAD patients.ConclusionOur results indicated that FAM83A/H might play important roles in NSCLC tumorigenesis and might be risk factor for the survival of NSCLC patients.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-3 (B3GNT3) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and to investigate the relevance of B3GNT3 expression in tumour prognosis.MethodsIn this study, B3GNT3 expression was examined in five pairs of resectable NSCLC tissue by Western blot and in 42 pairs of resectable NSCLC tissue by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Immunohistochemistry and statistical analysis were performed to assess the relationship between B3GNT3 expression scores and clinicopathological parameters, as well as clinical prognosis in a retrospective cohort of 176 NSCLC patients.ResultsBoth B3GNT3 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher in NSCLC tissue than in adjacent normal tissue. In the 176 NSCLC cases, a high B3GNT3 expression level was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.001) and advanced TNM stage (P=0.043). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that patients with high B3GNT3 expression had significantly lower disease-free survival (DFS) (P<0.001) and overall survival (OS) (P<0.001) than those with low B3GNT3 expression. Moreover, in the multivariate analyses, B3GNT3 expression was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (HR 0.329, 95% CI 0.213 to 0.508, P<0.001) and OS (HR 0.383, 95% CI 0.249 to 0.588, P<0.001).ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that high expression of B3GNT3 was associated with unfavourable DFS and OS in NSCLC patients, suggesting that B3GNT3 might be a potential prognostic biomarker for NSCLC.

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), a key nuclear transcription factor, is associated with prognosis in a variety of human cancers. However, the clinical value of NF-κB in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still controversial. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis was to obtain an accurate evaluation of the relationship between NF-κB expression and survival prognosis of NSCLC patients based on published articles. PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for potential articles. A total of 1159 patients from 7 eligible studies comparing prognostic significance of NF-κB expression levels in NSCLC were included in our meta-analysis. I2 statistic and P value were performed to evaluate heterogeneity using Review Manager version 5.3. The results of analysis were presented as hazard ratio (HR) or odds ratios with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity of NSCLC patients was conducted to illustrate the potential discrepancy. Significant heterogeneity was considered at I2 > 50% and P < 0.05, and random-effects model was used. The combined results indicated that higher NF-κB expression was associated with shorter overall survival of NSCLC patients (HR = 2.78, 95% CI = 1.51–5.12, P = 0.001). Moreover, NF-κB expression was closely associated with tumor stage (HR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.18–0.57, P < 0.0001) and lymph node metastasis (HR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.38–0.83, P = 0.004). We conclude that NF-κB expression may be a potential unfavorable prognostic marker for NSCLC patients.

Background and Objectives: Lobe-specific nodal dissection (L-SND) is currently acceptable for the dissection of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but not for cancers of more advanced clinical stages. We aimed to assess the efficacy of L-SND, compared to systemic nodal dissection (SND). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical data of patients with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) abnormality who underwent complete resection of NSCLC via lobectomy or more in addition to either SND or L-SND at two cancer-specific institutions from January 2006 to December 2017. Results: A total of 799 patients, including 265 patients who underwent SND and 534 patients who underwent L-SND, were included. On multivariate analysis, thoracotomy, more than lobectomy, cN1-2, advanced pathological stage, adjuvant treatment, and EGFR or ALK were strongly associated with SND. No significant differences were found in overall survival, disease-free survival, and overtime survival after propensity adjustment (p = 0.09, p = 0.11, and p = 0.50, respectively). There were no significant differences in local (p = 0.16), regional (p = 0.72), or distant (p = 0.39) tumor recurrence between the two groups. Conclusions: SND did not improve the prognosis of NSCLC patients with CEA abnormality. Complete pulmonary resection via L-SND seems useful for NSCLC patients with CEA abnormality.

9060 Background: Genomic profiling of tumor DNA has revealed the diversity in NSCLC. The retinoblastoma gene ( RB1) encodes for RB pocket protein that plays an important role in cell cycle progression by interacting with various transcriptional factors. Here we determine the frequency and prognostic significance of RB1mutation in NSCLC and compare it to that in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods: This IRB-approved retrospective review on NSCLC patients included Stage III and IV patients with genomic and clinical data. Primary outcome was median overall survival (OS) and secondary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). OS and PFS were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between mutant and wild-type (wt) RB1using the Log-Rank test. The effect of RB1mutation status on OS and PFS was further evaluated using the multivariable Cox model, controlling the effects of age, sex, stage, smoking history and chemotherapy. All tests are two-sided and p-values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: We identified RB1 mutation in 8.2% of NSCLC patients (16 of 195 patients). With a median follow-up of 15.1 months, the median OS for wt RB1was 28.3 months and for mutant RB1 was 8.3 months (HR = 2.59, p-value = 0.002). The median PFS for wt RB1 was 21.8 months vs 6.4 months for mutant RB1 (HR = 2.85, p-value = 0.0002). RB1 mutation was associated with worse OS ( p= 0.017, HR = 2.17) and PFS ( p= 0.005, HR = 2.37) in multivariate analyses after adjusting for traditional risk factors like, age, sex, stage, smoking history and chemotherapy. Interestingly, a previously described benign deletion (A16-A18) in RB1 protein was identified in 5 of the 16 RB1 mutant patients and was associated with far worse outcomes compared to other RB1 mutations. In contrast to NSCLC, RB1 mutation was identified in 75% of 64 SCLC patients. Furthermore, wt RB1 was associated with significantly shorter OS ( p= 0.002), PFS ( p= 0.004) and chemotherapy refractoriness ( p= 0.033) in SCLC. Conclusions: RB1 mutation is present in a minority of patients with advanced NSCLC and is associated with poor prognosis. In contrast, RB1 mutation is present in the majority of SCLC patients and is associated with a favorable prognosis.

Background/Aims: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis. However, the role of lncRNA expression in human Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) biology, prognosis and molecular classification remains unknown. Methods: We established the IncRNA profile in NSCLC by re-annotation of microarrays from the Gene expression omnibus database. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine expression of LINC00342. Results: 6066 differentially expressed IncRNAs were identified and we found a novel IncRNA, LINC00342 was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues compared with normal tissues. We confirmed the over-expression of LINC00342 in a cohort of NSCLC patients and found LINC00342 expression level was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stages. Furthermore, in a large online database of 1942 NSCLC patients, high expression of LINC00342 indicated poor Overall survival (HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.13-1.45) and post progression survival (HR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.09-1.88). Bioinformatics analyses showed that LINC00342 was co-expressed with different protein-coding genes in NSCLC and normal tissues. Additionally, gene set enrichment analyses found that PTEN and P53 pathways genes were enriched in the groups with higher LINC00342 expression level. By small interfering RNAs mediated silence of LINC00342, proliferation ability was significantly inhibited in lung cancer cell line. Conclusion: To summary, our findings indicate that a set of IncRNAs are differentially expressed in NSCLC and we characterized a novel IncRNA, LINC00342 which is significantly up-regulated in NSCLC and could be a prognostic biomarker.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Long noncoding RNA neuroblastoma-associated transcript 1 (NBAT1) has been reported to be involved in cancer progression. However, the clinical significance of NBAT1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. Our present research aimed to explore whether NBAT1 serves as a biomarker for NSCLC prognosis. METHODS The expression of NBAT1 was examined by RT-PCR in tissue samples of 162 NSCLC patients and was compared with the adjacent non-tumor lung specimens. Then the association between NBAT1 expression and clinical-pathological parameters was further evaluated. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The prognostic significance of NBAT1 expression in NSCLC patients was explored by the use of univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS NBAT1 expression was prominently decreased in NSCLC tissues compared with matched normal lung specimens (p < 0.01). Moreover, survival analyses indicated that patients with low expression displayed dramatically decreased 5-year overall survival (p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS NBAT1 expression might contribute to tumor progression and poor prognosis of NSCLC and might be a new therapeutic target in NSCLC.

e17501 Background: Current staging methods are inadequate for predicting the outcome of treatment of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated whether microRNA expression profiles can predict clinical outcome of NSCLC patients. Methods: We studied frozen specimens of lung-cancer tissue from 76 randomly selected patients who underwent surgical resection of NSCLC. Using real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, we chosed U6 as the internal control for real-time RT-PCR because it is invariant in clinical cancer specimens. We obtained microRNA137 and 29a expressions level in 76 NSCLC patients and evaluated diagnoisis value and the association between the level of expression and survival. Results: This microRNA137 is with diagnosis value, microRNA29a expression level signature is an independent predictor of the cancer relapse and survival of NSCLC patients. Conclusions: Our microRNA signature is closely associated with relapse-free and overall survival among patients with NSCLC.
