Abstract
Background: The standard of care for stage 1 NSCLC is upfront surgery followed by surveillance. However, 20–30% of stage 1 NSCLC recur. There is an unmet need to identify individuals likely to recur who would benefit from frequent monitoring and aggressive cancer treatments. Collagen 1 (Col1) fibers detected by second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy are a major structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of tumors that play a role in cancer progression. Method: We characterized Col1 fibers with SHG microscopy imaging of surgically resected stage 1 NSCLC. Gene expression from RNA sequencing data was used to validate the SHG microscopy findings. Results: We identified a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in the Col1 fiber volume in stage 1 NSCLC that recurred. The increase in Col1 fiber volume was supported by significant increases in the gene expression of Col1 in invasive, compared to noninvasive, lung adenocarcinoma. Significant differences were identified in the gene expression of other ECM proteins, as well as CAFs, immune checkpoint markers, immune cytokines, and T-cell markers. Conclusion: Col1 fiber analysis can provide a companion diagnostic test to evaluate the likelihood of tumor recurrence following stage 1 NSCLC. The studies expand our understanding of the role of the ECM in NSCLC recurrence.

期刊介绍:
TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine.
Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians.
Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.
