- Frequency of CDH1 germline variants and contribution of dietary habits in early age onset gastric cancer patients in Brazil(2019) GUINDALINI, Rodrigo Santa Cruz; CORMEDI, Marina Candido Visontai; MAISTRO, Simone; PASINI, Fatima Solange; BRANAS, Priscila Cristina Abduch Adas; SANTOS, Liliane dos; PEREIRA, Glaucia Fernanda de Lima; BOCK, Geertruida Hendrika de; SACCARO, Daniela Marques; KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; FARAJ, Sheila Friedrich; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; DIZ, Maria Del Pilar Estevez; GOUVEA, Ana Carolina Ribeiro Chaves de; CHAMMAS, Roger; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeIntroduction The contribution of CDH1 germline variants to gastric cancer burden among young adults is unknown in Brazil. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of CDH1 germline variants and the diet/lifestyle habits in early age onset gastric cancer (EOGC, <= 55 years old) patients. Methodology From 2013 to 2015, a total of 88 unrelated and consecutive patients diagnosed with EOGC were enrolled. All CDH1 exons and intronic boundaries were sequenced, and large genomic rearrangements were screened by MLPA. CDH1 transcription analysis was performed for variants that could potentially induce an effect on splicing. The diet and lifestyle habits of EOGC patients were compared to Brazilian population diet and lifestyle, obtained from governmental databases. Results Of 88 patients, the mean age at EOGC diagnosis was 39 years and 55% fulfilled the criteria for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. The majority of the tumors were diffuse (74%) and poorly differentiated (80%). In total, 4 novel missense variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were identified: c.313T>A, c.387G>T, c.1676G>A, and c.1806C>A. The MLPA results revealed no rearrangements and CDH1 transcription analysis for variants of interest were inconclusive. EOGC patients had a higher red (OR:2.6, 95%CI:1.4-4.9) and processed (OR:3.1, 95%CI:1.6-6.0) meat intake and higher fruit consumption (OR:0.4, 95%IC:0.3-0.7) compared to eating habits of the Brazilian population. Conclusions No unequivocal pathogenic germline CDH1 variants were identified in Brazilian EOGC patients. Dietary habits may be associated with the EOGC development.
- Somatic Mutational Profile of High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma and Triple-Negative Breast Carcinoma in Young and Elderly Patients: Similarities and Divergences(2021) SERIO, Pedro Adolpho de Menezes Pacheco; PEREIRA, Glaucia Fernanda de Lima; KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; ROELA, Rosimeire Aparecida; MAISTRO, Simone; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeBackground: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) are aggressive malignancies that share similarities; however, different ages of onset may reflect distinct tumor behaviors. Thus, our aim was to compare somatic mutations in potential driver genes in 109 TNBC and 81 HGSOC from young (Y <= 40 years) and elderly (E >= 75 years) patients. Methods: Open access mutational data (WGS or WES) were collected for TNBC and HGSOC patients. Potential driver genes were those that were present in the Cancer Gene Census-CGC, the Candidate Cancer Gene Database-CCGD, or OncoKB and those that were considered pathogenic in variant effect prediction tools. Results: Mutational signature 3 (homologous repair defects) was the only gene that was represented in all four subgroups. The median number of mutated CGCs per sample was similar in HGSOC (Y:3 vs. E:4), but it was higher in elderly TNBC than it was in young TNBC (Y:3 vs. E:6). At least 90% of the samples from TNBC and HGSOC from Y and E patients presented at least one known affected TSG. Besides TP53, which was mutated in 67-83% of the samples, the affected TSG in TP53 wild-type samples were NF1 (yHGSOC and yTNBC), PHF6 (eHGSOC and yTNBC), PTEN, PIK3R1 and ZHFX3 (yTNBC), KMT2C, ARID1B, TBX3, and ATM (eTNBC). A few samples only presented one affected oncogene (but no TSG): KRAS and TSHR in eHGSOC and RAC1 and PREX2 (a regulator of RAC1) in yTNBC. At least 2/3 of the tumors presented mutated oncogenes associated with tumor suppressor genes; the Ras and/or PIK3CA signaling pathways were altered in 15% HGSOC and 20-35% TNBC (Y vs. E); DNA repair genes were mutated in 19-33% of the HGSOC tumors but were more frequently mutated in E-TNBC (56%). However, in HGSOC, 9.5% and 3.3% of the young and elderly patients, respectively, did not present any tumors with an affected CGC nor did 4.65% and none of the young and elderly TNBC patients. Conclusion: Most HGSOC and TNBC from young and elderly patients present an affected TSG, mainly TP53, as well as mutational signature 3; however, a few tumors only present an affected oncogene or no affected cancer-causing genes.

- Stromal Cell Signature Associated with Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer(2019) KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; VIEIRA, Rene Aloisio Costa; ANDRADE, Victor Piana; ROELA, Rosimeire Aparecida; LIMA, Luiz Guilherme Cernaglia Aureliano; KERR, Ligia Maria; CAMPOS, Adriano Polpo de; PEREIRA, Carlos Alberto de Braganca; SERIO, Pedro Adolpho de Menezes Pacheco; ENCINAS, Giselly; MAISTRO, Simone; PETRONI, Matheus de Almeida Leite; BRENTANI, Maria Mitzi; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeBreast cancer stromal compartment, may influence responsiveness to chemotherapy. Our aim was to detect a stromal cell signature (using a direct approach of microdissected stromal cells) associated with response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (neoCT) in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). The tumor samples were collected from 44 patients with LABC (29 estrogen receptor (ER) positive and 15 ER negative) before the start of any treatment. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisted of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, followed by paclitaxel. Response was defined as downstaging to maximum ypT1a-b/ypN0. The stromal cells, mainly composed of fibroblast and immune cells, were microdissected from fresh frozen tumor samples and gene expression profile was determined using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression microarrays. Expression levels were compared using MeV (MultiExperiment Viewer) software, applying SAM (significance analysis of microarrays). To classify samples according to tumor response, the order of median based on confidence statements (MedOr) was used, and to identify gene sets correlated with the phenotype downstaging, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Nine patients presented disease downstaging. Eleven sequences (FDR 17) were differentially expressed, all of which (except H2AFJ) more expressed in responsive tumors, including PTCHD1 and genes involved in abnormal cytotoxic T cell physiology, TOX, LY75, and SH2D1A. The following four pairs of markers could correctly classify all tumor samples according to response: PTCHD1/PDXDC2P, LOC100506731/NEURL4, SH2D1A/ENST00000478672, and TOX/H2AFJ. Gene sets correlated with tumor downstaging (FDR < 0.01) were mainly involved in immune response or lymphocyte activation, including CD47, LCK, NCK1, CD24, CD3E, ZAP70, FOXP3, and CD74, among others. In locally advanced breast cancer, stromal cells may present specific features of immune response that may be associated with chemotherapy response.
- Survival analysis of young adults from a Brazilian cohort of non-small cell lung cancer patients(2021) NICOLAU, Jessica Silva; LOPEZ, Rossana Veronica Mendoza; LUIZAGA, Carolina Terra de Moraes; RIBEIRO, Karina Braga; ROELA, Rosimeire Aparecida; MAISTRO, Simone; KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; NATALINO, Renato Jose Mendonca; JR, Gilberto de Castro; NETO, Jose Eluf; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeBackground: The influence of age at diagnosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis is unclear. Objectives: To compare in a Brazilian cohort of NSCLC patients of different age groups: 1) The overall survival; 2) Clinical features and treatment options. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using a hospital-based registry, for NSCLC patients registered in years 2000-2009. Patients were grouped into three age groups: Young adults (YA: < 40 years), middle-aged (MA: 40-64 years) and elderly (E: >= 65 years). Kaplan-Meier was used to estimate overall survival and Cox regression for hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals. Results: 17,422 NSCLC patients were included: 370 YA (2.1%), 8,697 MA (49.9%) and 8,355 E (48.0%). Compared with older age groups, the YA group had a higher proportion of females, patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and metastatic disease (63.2%). Overall survival was longer in YA in the entire cohort and in all clinical stages (CSs) (p < 0.001). For YA, higher education level was a good prognosis factor (compared with illiterate and incomplete elementary); advanced or metastatic disease (compared with early-stage disease) and treatment based in radiotherapy or chemotherapy (CT) (without surgery), compared with treatment combinations with surgery, were poor prognostic factors. Young men (but not women) had lower HR of death compared with older groups; YA had lower HR of death in all CSs compared with patients from older groups. A higher percentage of YA were treated with surgery or CT in early-stage disease compared with older groups. Besides that, YA and MA patients treated with surgery or CT had a better prognosis than elderlies. Conclusions: In this Brazilian cohort of NSCLC patients, most young individuals were diagnosed with metastatic disease. YA presented longer survival than older age groups in all CSs, but mainly in CS I/II and III, where some patients may achieve long remissions or cure.
- Somatic mutations in breast and serous ovarian cancer young patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis(2015) ENCINAS, Giselly; MAISTRO, Simone; PASINI, Fatima Solange; KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; BRENTANI, Maria Mitzi; BOCK, Geertruida Hendrika de; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeObjective: our aim was to evaluate whether somatic mutations in five genes were associated with an early age at presentation of breast cancer (BC) or serous ovarian cancer (SOC). Methods: COSMIC database was searched for the five most frequent somatic mutations in BC and SOC. A systematic review of PubMed was performed. Young age for BC and SOC patients was set at <= 35 and <= 40 years, respectively. Age groups were also classified in <30years and every 10 years thereafter. Results: twenty six (1,980 patients, 111 younger) and 16 studies (598, 41 younger), were analyzed for BC and SOC, respectively. In BC, PIK3CA wild type tumor was associated with early onset, not confirmed in binary regression with estrogen receptor (ER) status. In HER2-negative tumors, there was increased frequency of PIK3CA somatic mutation in older age groups; in ER-positive tumors, there was a trend towards an increased frequency of PIK3CA somatic mutation in older age groups. TP53 somatic mutation was described in 20% of tumors from both younger and older patients; PTEN, CDH1 and GATA3 somatic mutation was investigated only in 16 patients and PTEN mutation was detected in one of them. In SOC, TP53 somatic mutation was rather common, detected in more than 50% of tumors, however, more frequently in older patients. Conclusion: frequency of somatic mutations in specific genes was not associated with early-onset breast cancer. Although very common in patients with serous ovarian cancer diagnosed at all ages, TP53 mutation was more frequently detected in older women.
