Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer using polymorphism of PCM1,

The present invention relates to the gene polymorphism of PCM1 (Pericentriolar material 1) for predicting the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and more specifically, to the use of SNPs of rs17691523 To a method of diagnosing and predicting the prognosis affecting the survival outcome of lung cancer and its use.

Globally, lung cancer accounts for 1,600,000 new cases each year, of which 1.4 million die. This accounted for 13% of all cancer cases and accounted for 18% of cancer-related deaths. In 2010, lung cancer deaths increased to 1,500,000, accounting for 19% of all cancer-related deaths.

Histologically, about 80% are non-small-cell lung cancer, 32-40% of whom are adenocarcinoma including bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC), 25-30% Squamous cell carcinoma, and 8-16% of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. More than 65% of all non-small cell lung cancers are found to be completely inoperable from the time of diagnosis

Diagnosis of NSCLC is performed by examination of pathologists of suspected tissues such as biopsy samples. After NSCLC diagnosis, the patient's illness is assigned to the patient's overall health status and severity of symptoms such as age, coughing and dyspnea, prognosis (recovery opportunity) using specific types of NSCLC and cancer staging. The progression stage considers the size of the tumor and whether the tumor is present only in the lung or diffuse elsewhere in the body. Specific treatment options for NSCLC patients are selected based on the above considerations, and the cancer progression stage is an important factor for treatment selection. Patients with early NSCLC can potentially be cured by surgical resection to remove the tumor, but current diagnostic aspects can not predict which patient will recur after surgery.

Also, because cancer often recurs locally or transitions from native cancer tissue to distant tissues and organs, which of the patients with early cancer need to undergo drug treatment after surgical removal of their primary tumor It is important to reveal. This is particularly important in patients with early NSCLC.

The ideal treatment for lung cancer is early detection and removal of the cancer by surgery. However, early diagnosis is difficult because early diagnosis of lung cancer has progressed to such an extent that more than half of the patients can not undergo surgery. In addition, after the onset of lung cancer, especially in patients with non-small cell carcinoma, if surgery has not progressed enough, surgery will be performed first, but only 30% can perform radical resection. The 5-year survival rate, which depends on the degree of cancer progression, was recovered in all patients who underwent curative resection, including squamous cell carcinoma (37%), adenocarcinoma (27%) and large cell carcinoma (27%). The majority of these patients relapse after surgery and become more aggressive and die. Early NSCLC prognosis can not be confirmed with sufficient accuracy to direct more aggressive therapies for patients with a high likelihood of recurrence as a current clinical diagnostic method.

Therefore, it may be necessary to identify patients with high risk of early NSCLC who have to undergo chemotherapy or have generally reevaluated treatment findings, and can determine the prognosis of NSCLC so that it is easy to decide whether to use additional treatment options The survival rate can be remarkably increased.

The present inventors selected 1,969 potential functional polymorphisms from 1,151 genes involved in the development and progression of NSCLC cancer and analyzed the genotypic characteristics of 166 non-small cell lung cancer patients who underwent curative resection using a gene chip (Affimetrix Inc., USA) To complete genetic polymorphisms associated with the prognosis of patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through log-rank test in overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) .

The disease to be diagnosed in the present invention is a disease associated with lung cancer.

The lung cancer may preferably be non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the non-small cell lung cancer includes squamous cell cancer, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma. More preferably squamous cell cancer.

Patient refers to a patient with lung cancer, ie squamous cell, small cell, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma or non-cell carcinoma. Preferably, the subject includes patients who have undergone surgical resection of lung cancer, i.e. squamous cell, small cell, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma or non-cell carcinoma.

Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for more than 75% of all lung cancer, with an average 5-year survival rate of 15%. The high mortality rate of non-small cell lung cancer is associated with a high proportion of patients with some unresectable tumors (Parkin DM, et al., Cancer J Clin 55: 74-108, 2005). It has been reported that many of the surgically resected patients die from recurrence of cancer even though they have a good prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer of the resectable stage (Arriagada R, et al., N Engl J Med 350: 351-60, 2004). Therefore, when prognostic factors are used for patients with non - small cell lung cancer, it is possible to target the evaluation and prognosis of the prognosis and the selection and treatment of the treatment method, and thus it is expected that the personalized treatment of patients with non - small cell lung cancer will be possible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

The present invention relates to the use of PCM1 (Pericentriolar material 1) gene polymorphism as a diagnostic marker for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and as a predictive marker, and relates to the fact that the specific SNP of the PCM1 gene is associated with a bad prognosis in the early stage of non- For the first time. The prognosis includes progression, recurrence and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer.

<PCM1 prognostic marker>

Therefore, the present invention relates, in one aspect, to the use of the PCM1 gene as a diagnostic marker for lung cancer, preferably non-small cell lung cancer prognosis.

More specifically, the present invention relates to the diagnosis and prediction of the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17691523 C> G of PCM1 (Pericentriolar material 1) gene and its use.

The PCM1 protein may be a known one, for example, a known human-derived sequence may be obtained from a known DB, including, but not limited to, functional equivalents thereof.

The selection and application of significant diagnostic markers determines the reliability of diagnostic results. Significant diagnostic markers are those markers that are highly reliable with high validity and consistency in repeated measurements. The non-small-cell lung cancer prognostic markers of the present invention show the same results in repeated experiments with genes whose expression changes either directly or indirectly with the onset of lung cancer, preferably non-small cell lung cancer, Are highly reliable markers that are very large when compared to a few, and are less likely to give false results. Therefore, the diagnosis result based on the result of measuring the expression level of the significant diagnostic marker of the present invention can be reasonably reliable.

The present inventors investigated the polymorphism of the PCM1 gene in 166 patients who underwent curative resection of non-small cell lung cancer to determine the relationship between genotype and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) Respectively.

The term "total survival (OS)" refers to the period from the day of surgery to the day of death due to any cause or the last follow-up date. DFS refers to the day from surgery to the day of recurrence or death for any cause. Analysis showed that rs17691523C> G polymorphism was significantly associated with overall survival and disease-free survival in patients with non-small cell carcinoma. rs17691523 The GG genotype showed bad OS and DFS.

Therefore, PCM1 rs17691523C> G SNP of the present invention can be regarded as an independent prognostic marker for patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing surgical resection. An analysis of this may help to determine the group of patients at high risk for poor disease non-small-cell lung cancer prognosis and may help in the therapeutic determination of non-small-cell lung cancer.

As one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention relates to a marker for survival prognosis (diagnosis) of a lung cancer, preferably a non-small cell lung cancer patient comprising a polymorphic site of the PCM1 gene and a composition for a marker comprising the same.

The present invention provides a polynucleotide consisting of 20-100 consecutive DNA sequences comprising the base, wherein the 497th base is G or C in the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1; Or a complementary polynucleotide thereof, to a marker for predicting the survival prognosis of a lung cancer patient and a composition for a marker comprising the same.

The polynucleotide or its complementary polynucleotide according to the present invention may be composed of at least 20, preferably 20 to 100, more preferably 20 to 50 contiguous bases.

The polynucleotide or its complementary polynucleotide is a polymorphic sequence. A polymorphic sequence refers to a sequence comprising a polymorphic site representing a single base polymorphism in the nucleotide sequence. A polymorphic site is a site in a polymorphic sequence where a single base polymorphism occurs.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms can be included in coding sequences of genes, non-coding regions of genes, or in intergenic regions between genes. SNPs in the coding sequence of a gene do not necessarily cause changes in the amino acid sequence of the target protein due to the degeneracy of the genetic code. SNPs that form the same polypeptide sequence are called synonymous (also called silent mutations) and SNPs that form other polypeptide sequences are said to be non-synonymous. Non-consensual SNPs can be missense or nonsense, and mismatch changes produce other amino acids while nonsense changes form non-mature termination codons. SNPs that are not in the protein-coding region can induce gene silencing, transcription factor binding, or non-coding RNA sequences.

In the present invention, as an example, about 49% in the promoter region of the PCM1 gene, about 23% in the exons (non-similar SNPs), about 15% in the exon-intron boundary, about 7% in the 5-UTRs, SNPs are located at about 6%.

Allele-specific refers to hybridizing specifically to each allele, i.e., hybridizing such that the base of the polymorphic site present in the polymorphic sequence can be specifically discriminated. Here, hybridization is usually carried out under stringent conditions, for example, a salt concentration of 1 M or less and a temperature of 25 ° C or higher.

In the present invention, a probe means a hybridization probe, and means an oligonucleotide capable of binding sequence-specifically to a complementary strand of a nucleic acid. The hybridization conditions show a significant difference in the intensity of hybridization between alleles and should be sufficiently stringent to hybridize to only one of the alleles. Preferably, the probe of the present invention aligns with the polymorphic site of the polymorphic sequence. This can lead to good hybridization differences between different allelic forms. The probe can be used in a kit such as a microarray for predicting the survival prognosis of lung cancer by detecting alleles, a prediction method and the like. Important probes can be labeled for detection and can be labeled, for example, as radioactive isotopes, fluorescent compounds, bioluminescent compounds, chemiluminescent compounds, metal chelates or enzymes.

The primer sequence need not be completely complementary to the template, but should be sufficiently complementary to hybridize with the template. The primers can be hybridized to a DNA sequence containing a polymorphic site to amplify a DNA fragment containing the polymorphic site. The primer of the present invention can be used in a kit such as a microarray for predicting the survival prognosis of lung cancer and a prediction method by detecting alleles.

The primers or probes of the present invention can be chemically synthesized using the phosphoramidite solid support method, or other well-known methods. Such nucleic acid sequences may also be modified using many means known in the art. Non-limiting examples of such modifications include, but are not limited to, methylation, capping, substitution of one or more natural nucleotides with analogs, and modifications between nucleotides, such as uncharged linkers (e.g., methylphosphonate, phosphotriester, Amidates, carbamates, etc.) or charged linkages (e.g., phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, etc.).

The present invention relates, in another embodiment, to a microarray for predicting the survival prognosis of lung cancer, preferably non-small cell lung cancer patients, comprising said composition.

The microarray may be composed of a conventional microarray except that it comprises the polynucleotide, primer or probe of the present invention.

The detection may be performed, for example, by labeling the nucleic acid sample with a labeling substance capable of generating a detectable signal including a fluorescent substance, such as Cy3 and Cy5, and then hybridizing on the microarray, The hybridization result can be detected.

The microarray method can simultaneously study the expression of RNA in thousands or even tens of thousands of genes in tumors, enabling more comprehensive insights into the molecular basis of human disease. It can also be used to assess gene expression patterns, clinical outcomes, and response to chemotherapy regimens in tumor classifications.

To select all potentially functional SNPs, a public database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP) was used. In the HapMap JPT data, a total of 4,215 SNPs with a small allele frequency ≥ 5% were captured. Of these, other SNPs can not be applied to platforms, so 969 SNPs among 1,151 genes were genotyped using Affymetrix custom-made GeneChips.

For validation, PL-1 was used as a dominant, recessive and / or co-dominant model in the discovery set using SEQUENOMS MassARRAY iPLEX assay (SEQUENOM Inc., San Diego, Calif.) And restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. 56 SNPs associated with both total survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) with R <0.05 were selected and genotyped.

3. Statistical analysis

Differences in genotypic distribution according to clinicopathologic factors of patients were compared using? 2 test. The OS was measured from the day of surgery to the last follow-up or dead day. Survival estimates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Differences between OS and DFS across different genotype types were compared using log-rank tests. HR (hazard ratio) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were assessed using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. Age (≤ vs.> median age), gender (female vs. male), smoking status (non- vs. smokers), pathological stages (I vs. II-IIIA), and adjuvant therapy (yes vs. no). To minimize Type II errors, SNPs for validation were selected using a cut-off alpha error level of 0.10 in the discovery set. A homogeneity test was performed to compare the differences between the genotypically related HRs of the other subgroups. All analyzes were performed using statistical methods for Windows, version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA).

Example  1: Patient characteristics and clinical Predictive factor

Clinical and pathological characteristics of patients in discovery and validation sets; And OS and DFS are shown in Table 1. &lt; tb &gt; &lt; TABLE &gt; By univariate analysis, pathological stages in both sets were significantly associated with OS and DFS (both log-rank P [PL-R] ≤ 0.0001).

[Table 1]

Abbreviation: OSR, overall survival rate

DFSR, disease free survival rate

Thus, in the assertion set, age was associated with OS and DFS (PL-R for OS = 0.003 and PL-R for DFS = 0.03) for OS = 0.02 and 0.01)

Example  2 : SNPs  And survival outcome

Ii) genotypic validity of 166 with 90%, iii) 211 with minor allele frequency <5%, or iv) Hardy-Weinberg We analyzed 1,385 SNPs from 910 genes, except for 126 (P <0.05) deviations from equilibrium.

As a result, about 49% of the SNPs are located in the promoter region, 23% in the exons (nonsynonymous SNPs), 15% in the exon-intron boundaries, 7% in the 5-UTRs and 6% in the 3-UTRs Respectively.

Of the 1,385 SNPs analyzed in the discovery set, 56 SNPs were associated with both OS and DFS (PL-R <0.05) and screened for validation. When adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, pathological steps and adjuvant chemotherapy, two SNPs (p300 / CBP-related factor [PCM1] rs17691523C> G, and pericentriolar substance 1 [PCM1 ] rs17691523C> G) was found and was found to be significantly related to survival outcomes in the same direction as the discovery set in the independent assays set (Table 2 and Figure 1).

The results for PCM1 rs17691523C > G are listed in Table 2 below.

[Table 2]

In particular, in the recessive model, rs17691523C> G also had a significant effect on OS and DFS for variant G alleles (aHR for OS = 6.94, 95% CI = 2.16-22.3, P = 0.001 and aHR for DFS = 2.71, 95 % CI = 1.00-7.37, P = 0.05).

From these results, the present invention shows that PCM1 rs17691523 affects the survival outcome of patients who surgically resected early stage NSCLC.
