BackgroundThis study aims to profile integrative genomic spectra of Chinese patients with different subtypes of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and explore potential molecular prognosis factors.MethodsWe retrospectively identified 204 surgically resected LUSC patients in Shanghai Chest Hospital who underwent capture-based targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) with a panel of 68 lung cancer‐related genes from September 2017 to January 2019. NGS was used to profile comprehensive molecular characterizations.ResultsOf 204 cases, 114 (55.9%) were keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (KSCC), 77 (37.7%) were non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC), 13 (6.4%) were basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), respectively. All subtypes presented similarly high proportions of mutations, including TP53, CDKN2A, and NOTCH1. A comparable prevalence of FGFR1 amplifications was identified between KSCC and NKSCC (11.4 versus 26.9%, p = 0.007). Compared with NKSCC, IGF1R amplifications were more frequent in BSCC (0 versus 15.4%, p = 0.019). We found cases with TP53 alterations had less EGFR alterations in KSCC (P = 0.013, OR = 0.158). Compared with TCGA cohorts, our Chinese cohorts exhibited statistic differences in both somatic mutations and signaling pathways. We found that STK 11 alterations and TOP2A alterations were significantly associated with higher risk of recurrence in patients with LUSC.ConclusionsSignificant differences exist among three subtypes of LUSC in molecular characterizations.

8540 Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a major histological subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and accounts for 30% of NSCLC. Previous studies had revealed the genomic characterization of LUSC in Western patients (pts). However, the comprehensive genomic features of LUSC in Chinese pts have not been well understood. Methods: Deep sequencing targeting 450 cancer genes was performed on FFPE and matching blood samples collected from 311 LUSC pts. Genomic alterations (GAs) including single nucleotide variations, short and long insertions and deletions, copy number variations, and gene rearrangements were analyzed. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was measured by an algorithm developed in-house. Results: The median age of LUSC pts was 63 years old (range 57-68.5), of which 88% were male. The most frequently mutated genes were TP53 (88%), PIK3CA (34%), CDKN2A (33%), SOX2 (26%), LRP1B (22%), KLHL6 (21%), KMT2D (19%), PRKCI (19%), NFE2L2 (18%) and MAP3K13 (17%). Interestingly the mutation rates of PIK3CA (p = 1.93e-05) and CDKN2A (p = 2.48e-05) were significantly higher than that in TCGA cohort. Genomic alterations in eight druggable genes recommended by the NCCN guideline occurred in 32% of pts, and alterations to PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway related genes occurred in 52% of pts. One patient with PIK3CA amplification achieved stable disease for eight months after everolimus treatment. Moreover, variants in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway were identified in 17% of pts. The median TMB of LUSC pts was 10.8 Muts/MB (range 6.9-14.5 Muts/MB) which was higher than Western populations [PMID: 28420421]. The 1st Quartile (TMB-L), median and 3rd Quartile (TMB-H) TMB value was 6.9, 10.8 and 14.5 Muts/Mb respectively. Comparing with the TMB-L group, frequencies of CDKN2A (39% vs 19%, p= 0.005), LRP1B (45% vs 8%, p< 0.001) and KMT2D (27% vs 8%, p= 0.002) were higher in TMB-H group. Conclusions: In summary, we characterized the genomic alteration profile of Chinese LUSC pts. Consistent with previous reports, high mutation rates of TP53, PIK3CA and CDKN2A are the most important genomic features of LUSC. However, the proportion of PIK3CA and CDKN2A mutations in Chinese LUSC pts is higher than that of Western populations. In addition, we also found targetable pathways (including PI3K/mTOR) along with gene related variations and high TMB in many pts, providing potential targeted therapy and immunotherapy options for LUSC pts.

Abstract Background Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to chemotherapy alone as first-line treatment in advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) in the phase III trial (CameL-sq), which has become an option of standard-of-cares for Chinese patients with advanced LUSC. However, the predictive biomarkers remain unknown. Methods Tumor tissue samples at baseline, and peripheral blood samples at baseline (pretreatment) and after two cycles of treatment (on-treatment) were prospectively collected from 270 LUSC patients from the CameL-sq study. Blood tumor mutation burden (bTMB) and its dynamics were analyzed to explore their predictive values. Results Pretreatment bTMB was not associated with objective response, PFS and OS in camrelizumab or placebo plus chemotherapy groups. Low on-treatment bTMB was associated with significantly better objective response (73.8% vs 27.8%, P < 0.001), PFS (median, 9.1 vs 4.1 months; P < 0.001) and OS (median, not reached vs 8.0 months; P < 0.001) in camrelizumab plus chemotherapy group whereas it did not correlate with objective response and PFS in chemotherapy alone group. Importantly, on-treatment bTMB level could discriminate patients of initially radiological stable disease who would long-term benefit from camrelizumab plus chemotherapy (low vs high, median OS, 18.2 vs 7.8 months; P = 0.001). Combing on-treatment bTMB and its dynamics improved the ability for predicting the efficacy of camrelizumab plus chemotherapy. Conclusion On-treatment bTMB together with its dynamics could serve as a predictive biomarker for camrelizumab plus chemotherapy in patients with advanced LUSC.

Aims : The present study explored the clinical significance of microRNA-22 (miR-22) expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma and to explore the targeting relationship with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3). Methods: A total of 49 patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma who underwent surgical treatment was selected. The expression of miR-22 was detected by fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), the expression of VEGFR3 was detected by Western blotting assays, and D240 labeled microlymphatic vessels density (MLVD) was detected immunohistochemistry (IHC). Lung squamous cell carcinoma cell line SK-MES-1 was selected and the targeting relationship between miR-22 and VEGFR3 was analyzed by double luciferase reporter gene assay. Western blotting assays were used to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) and D240 in the blank control group, empty vector transfection group, miR-22 transfection group, miR-22 and VEGFR3 co-transfection group. Results: The expression range of miR-22 in lung squamous cell carcinoma was 0.8-3.5. The expression of miR-22 in lung squamous cell carcinoma was significantly different by tumor maximum diameter, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion and TNM stage. The expression of miR-22 was linked to survival time. There was a negative correlation between miR-22 and VEGFR3, miR-22 and MLVD. Double luciferase reporter gene assays showed that miR-22 reduced the luciferase activity of pGL3-VEGFR3-WT transfected cells. Compared with the control group, the expression of VEGF-D and D2-40 in the miR-22 transfection group was significantly decreased. However, VEGF-D and D240 in the miR-22 and VEGFR3 cotransfection group reversed the changes. Conclusion: We assumed that the abnormal expression of miR-22 in lung squamous cell carcinoma may be involved in the development and progression of lung squamous cell carcinoma. MiR-22 negatively regulated the target gene VEGFR3 to mediate lymphangiogenesis. The expression of miR-22 may also be linked to the prognosis of the disease.
