ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
About 20-30% EGFR-mutant non-small lung cancer show intrinsic resistance to EGFR targeted therapies. Compared to T790M positive in acquired resistance patients, little is known about EGFR-TKI intrinsic resistance for T790M negative patients.METHODS:
Thirty-one patients with advanced stage lung cancer, including 18 patients with intrinsic resistance (PFS <6 months) and 13 patients with acquired resistance (PFS >36 months) but are negative for plasma T790M were recruited in the study. Plasma cell free DNA was profiled by low coverage whole genome sequencing with median genome coverage of 1.86X by Illumina X10. Sequencing coverage across chromosomes was summarized by samtools, and normalized by segmentation analysis as provided by R package 'DNACopy'.RESULTS:
The most frequent chromosomal changes were found on chr7, chr1 and chr8. Among them, chr7p gains were found in 12 (66.7%) intrinsic resistance and 4 (30.7%) acquired resistance patients. The gene EGFR was found located on the focal amplification peak of chr7p. The performance of 7p gain to predict intrinsic resistance reaches AUC =0.902. Similarly, focal amplifications were also found on chromosome 5, 16 and 22, where tumor related gene PCDHA@, ADAMTS18 and CRKL were located. Focal deletions were also found in chr1, 8, 10 and 16, where genes SFTPA1/2, DLC1, PTEN and CDH1 are located.CONCLUSIONS:
The results suggest cell free DNA copy number might be a useful peripheral blood tumor biomarker for predicting intrinsic resistance of EGFR targeted therapy and prognosis.
