Abstract
Objective
Cigarette smoking is a primary risk factor, linked to 80% of LC deaths. TP53, a key gene, is implicated in various cancers, with TP53 alterations in 36.7% of cancers. This research aims to investigate TP53 mutations detected in NSCLC patients by liquid biopsy and explore the relationship between these mutations and smoking history.
Material and method
The study enrolled a total of 340 patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For sequencing, the Illumina NextSeq 500 system was utilized. The oncogenicity of the variants was assessed according to the ClinGen/CGC/VICC SOP and the variants were categorized into four tiers according to AMP/ASCO/CAP.
Results
The most common mutations were in TP53 (48.7%), followed by EGFR, PIK3CA, and PTEN. Missense mutations were frequent, with TP53 and EGFR having higher rates in ever-smokers. No indels or complex mutations were found in ever-smokers. Patient age ranged from 20 to 86 years. Tier I-II variants were more common in ever-smokers, while Tier III variants were prevalent in never-smokers. TP53 mutations were more frequent in ever-smokers, showing a strong association with smoking. Domain distribution showed differences in PIK3CA. Transversion/transition ratios varied by gene and smoking status.
Discussion
The presence of TP53 mutations is strongly associated with both cigarette smoking and elevated Tv/Ti ratios. The tier status of TP53, EGFR, and PTEN variants does not show a specific domain distribution, but interesting associations are observed between the tier status and domain distribution in PIK3CA variants. Therefore, further comprehensive investigations are needed to explore this entity, as well as the underlying factors contributing to the increased Tv/Ti rates in the TP53 gene. Such research will provide deeper insights into the genetic alterations associated with smoking and tumor heterogeneity, ultimately aiding in the development of targeted therapies.
期刊介绍:
Mutation Research (MR) provides a platform for publishing all aspects of DNA mutations and epimutations, from basic evolutionary aspects to translational applications in genetic and epigenetic diagnostics and therapy. Mutations are defined as all possible alterations in DNA sequence and sequence organization, from point mutations to genome structural variation, chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy. Epimutations are defined as alterations in the epigenome, i.e., changes in DNA methylation, histone modification and small regulatory RNAs.
MR publishes articles in the following areas:
Of special interest are basic mechanisms through which DNA damage and mutations impact development and differentiation, stem cell biology and cell fate in general, including various forms of cell death and cellular senescence.
The study of genome instability in human molecular epidemiology and in relation to complex phenotypes, such as human disease, is considered a growing area of importance.
Mechanisms of (epi)mutation induction, for example, during DNA repair, replication or recombination; novel methods of (epi)mutation detection, with a focus on ultra-high-throughput sequencing.
Landscape of somatic mutations and epimutations in cancer and aging.
Role of de novo mutations in human disease and aging; mutations in population genomics.
Interactions between mutations and epimutations.
The role of epimutations in chromatin structure and function.
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and their consequences in terms of human disease and aging.
Novel ways to generate mutations and epimutations in cell lines and animal models.
