ABSTRACT
Breast cancer (BC) has been genetically profiled through large-scale genome analyses. However, the role and clinical implications of genetic alterations in metastatic BC (MBC) have not been evaluated. Therefore, we conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-Seq of 37 MBC samples and targeted deep sequencing of another 29 MBCs. We evaluated somatic mutations from WES and targeted sequencing and assessed gene expression and performed pathway analysis from RNA-Seq. In this analysis, PIK3CA was the most commonly mutated gene in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive BC, while in ER-negative BC, TP53 was the most commonly mutated gene (p = 0.018 and p < 0.001, respectively). TP53 stopgain/loss and frameshift mutation was related to low expression of TP53 in contrast nonsynonymous mutation was related to high expression. The impact of TP53 mutation on clinical outcome varied with regard to ER status. In ER-positive BCs, wild type TP53 had a better prognosis than mutated TP53 (median overall survival (OS) (wild type vs. mutated) 88.5 ± 54.4 vs. 32.6 ± 10.7 (months), p = 0.002). In contrast, mutated TP53 had a protective effect in ER-negative BCs (median OS 0.10 vs. 32.6 ± 8.2, p = 0.026). However, PIK3CA mutation did not affect patient survival. In gene expression analysis, CALM1, a potential regulator of AKT, was highly expressed in PIK3CA-mutated BCs. In conclusion, mutation of TP53 was associated with expression status and affect clinical outcome according to ER status in MBC. Although mutation of PIK3CA was not related to survival in this study, mutation of PIK3CA altered the expression of other genes and pathways including CALM1 and may be a potential predictive marker of PI3K inhibitor effectiveness.
