Abstract
Homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway deficiency (HRD) is involved in the tumorigenesis and progression of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) as well as in the sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy drugs. In this study, we obtained data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) on HGSOC and identified scores for the loss of heterozygosity, telomeric allelic imbalance, and large-scale state transitions, and calculated the HRD score. We then investigated the relationships among the score, genetic/epigenetic alterations in HRR-related genes, and the clinical data. We found that BRCA1/2 mutations were enriched in the group with HRD scores ≥63. Compared with the groups with scores ≤62, this group had a good prognosis; we thus considered HRD scores ≥63 to be the best cutoff point for identifying HRD cases in HGSOC. Classification of HGSOC cases by the HRD status revealed a better prognosis for HRD cases caused by genetic alterations (genetic HRD) than those caused by epigenetic changes and those caused by undetermined reasons (p = 0.0002). Among cases without macroscopic residual tumors after primary debulking surgery, 11 of 12 genetic HRD cases survived after the median observation period of 6.6 years, showing remarkably high survival rates (p = 0.0059). In conclusion, HGSOC can be classified into subtypes with different prognoses according to HRD status. This classification could be useful for personalized HGSOC treatment.
今天跟大家分享的是二月份发表在scientific reports杂志(IF:3.998)上的一篇文章。文章主要讲的是,研究人员基于HRD得分,通过比较BRCA1/2突变状态,对卵巢癌进行亚型分析。可以帮助卵巢癌区分不同预后的亚型,为卵巢癌个性化治疗提供帮助。
本文综合了HRD得分和基因突变以及甲基化对卵巢癌进行亚型识别,在高级浆液性卵巢癌中识别到了预后显著差异的亚型。在癌症亚型识别中,具有良好效果。该研究未做实验,利用公共数据集分析。优势在于紧跟HRD研究热点,综合多种特征,有效的将卵巢癌区分为不同亚型,具有一定临床指导意义。
