Abstract

:
Background: Lung cancer is still the most lethal malignancy in the world, according to the report of Cancer Statistics in 2021. Platinum-based chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is the first-line treatment in lung cancer patients. However, the 5-year survival rate is always affected by the adverse reactions and drug resistance caused by platinum-based chemotherapy. DNA damage and repair system is one of the important mechanisms that can affect the response to chemotherapy and clinical outcomes in lung cancer patients. Objective: The objective of this study is to find the relationship between the polymorphisms of DNA repair genes with the prognosis of platinum-based chemotherapy in lung cancer patients. Patients and Methods: We performed genotyping in 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Excision Repair Cross-Complementation group (ERCC) genes and X-ray Repair Cross-Complementing (XRCC) genes of 345 lung cancer patients via Sequenom MassARRAY. We used Cox proportional hazard models, state, and plink to analyze the associations between SNPs and the prognosis of lung cancer patients. Results: We found that the ERCC5 rs873601 was associated with the overall survival time in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy (p = 0.031). There were some polymorphisms that were related to the prognosis in specific subgroups of lung cancer. Rs873601 showed a great influence on the prognosis of patients more than 55 years, Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), and smoking patients. Rs2444933 was associated with prognosis in age less than 55 years, SCLC, metastasis, and stage III/IV/ED patients. Rs3740051 played an important role in the prognosis of SCLC and metastasis patients. Rs1869641 was involved in the prognosis of SCLC patients. Rs1051685 was related to the prognosis in non-metastasis patients. Conclusion: The ERCC5 rs873601 (G>A) was a valuable biomarker for predicting the prognosis in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

1. Introduction

Lung cancer is one of the leading cancers and the highest lethal malignancies in the world [1]. It consists of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC accounts for almost 80% of lung cancer cases, including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell cancer, and large cell lung cancer [2]. The treatment strategy for lung cancer consists of surgery, radiation oncology, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy [3]. Despite the progress of immunotherapy and targeted therapy in the past years, platinum-based chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is still the first-line treatment for lung cancer patients [4]. The 5-year survival is a crucial indicator of the treatment efficacy [5]. The occurrence of drug resistance and treatment toxicity creates substantial barriers to disease control, such as gastrointestinal toxicity and hematological toxicity, which result in poor 5-year survival [6]. Remarkably, the chemotherapy outcomes differ from individual, which means the genetic polymorphisms may play an important role in the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment [7]. Until now, plentiful genetic polymorphisms are associated with the outcomes of chemotherapy, such as Eukaryotic translation Initiation Factor 3 subunit A (eIF3A), Rac family small GTPase 1 (RAC1), WNT1 Inducible Signaling Pathway protein 1 (WISP1), and so on [8,9,10]. The specific mechanisms are still being discovered on the way.
As we all know, DNA damage and repair pathways are of great importance in health and disease [11]. DNA damage can be classified into two main categories based on its origin: endogenous and exogenous [12]. DNA damage and repair pathways can prevent DNA damage from causing mutations and cytotoxicity, but the unbalanced repair of DNA damage always leads to the development of tumors [13,14]. It has been reported that the genetic polymorphisms of DNA repair pathways can significantly affect the response to cisplatin treatment in lung cancer patients [15,16]. The DNA damage and repair pathway consists of mismatch repair (MMR), base excision repair (BER), nucleotide excision repair (NER), and double-strand break (DSB) repair systems [17].
The Excision Repair Cross-Complementation 5 (ERCC5), also called Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group (XPG), is a gene performing its function in nucleotide excision repair (NER), and it can also protect replication forks by promoting homologous recombination [18]. ERCC5 contains 17 exons and spans 32 kb with a location of chromosome 13q33.1 [19]. It plays an essential role in the occurrences and clinical outcomes of lung cancer. The ERCC5 rs4771436 and rs1047768 genotypes are associated with the risk of lung cancer [20]. The ERCC5 His46His genomic polymorphisms can significantly affect the response to chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients [21].
The Xeroderma Pigmentosum group A (XPA) is another key member of NER, and it can catch the damage site of the DNA substrate by binding the NER core repair factors [22]. It is also reported to be connected with the development and efficacy of lung cancer. XPA rs1800975 polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with susceptibility in lung cancer patients [23]. The genomic variabilities of XPA rs2808668 are also considered to jointly contribute to lung cancer risk [24]. The mutation of XPA rs3176658 is significantly associated with progress-free survival in NSCLC patients [25].
The other genes of NER are also reported to play vital roles in lung cancer occurrences and clinical outcomes. The single nucleotide polymorphisms of XRCC3 rs861539 are related to the prognosis of NSCLC patients [26]. The variables of XRCC5 (rs1051685, rs6941) were associated with hematologic toxicity in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, which means it can predict platinum-based chemotherapy toxicity in lung cancer patients [27]. The expression of ERCC1 may be a useful prognostic marker in lung adenocarcinoma, the lower expression had a longer overall survival [28]. Patients with the C/C genotype in rs3212986 of the ERCC1 gene had longer median progress-free survival in NSCLC patients [29].
In this study, we selected 17 SNPs from ERCC5, PNKY, ERCC1, SIRT1, XPA, XRCC3, and XRCC5, such as rs873601, rs2444933, rs3740051, rs1869641, rs1051685, and so on. The rs873601 has been reported to be associated with cancer susceptibility [30]. The rs3740051 plays an important role in the development of pituitary adenoma [31]. The transporter gene polymorphisms of rs1869641 have been reported to show a significant relation to chemotherapy response [32]. The rs1051685 was reported to be associated with the response and survival in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients [33]. Based on the previous study, we aim to find new biomarkers to predict the efficacy in lung cancer patients, which can make forward to more intensive guidance in the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

2. Material and Methods

2.1. Research Objects and Treatment Procedures

All the subjects enrolled were selected with the following conditions: (1) patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer for the first time at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University or Hunan Province of Cancer Hospital (Changsha, Hunan, China) between August 2009 and January 2013; (2) patients did not receive surgery treatment before platinum-based chemotherapy. (3) all patients should receive at least 2 periods of platinum-based chemotherapy. The clinical characteristics of the enrolled subjects are listed in Table 1. All patients should sign the informed consent before they participate in this study. The investigation protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, with the registration number CTXY-110008-1.

2.2. Data Collection

The deadline for patients recruited was 15 July 2019. Their survival data were collected via telephone follow-up or residence registration. The endpoint criteria were progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The progress-free survival (PFS) was according to the diagnosis date of lung cancer and the date of the first local recurrence or metastases in the last follow-up. The overall survival (OS) time was calculated from the time between diagnosis of lung cancer and the date of the last follow-up or death. Patients without progression were defined as censors when analyzed. As researchers, the polymorphisms of the patients were unknown before the sequencing analysis.

2.3. SNP Selecting, DNA Extraction and Genotyping

There were 17 common SNPs of DNA damage and repair genes selected in our study (Table 2). The candidate SNPs were located from 5 kb upstream of the first exon to the downstream of the last exon, respectively. We used Haploview version 4.2 to choose the Haplotype tagging SNPs. They were chosen based on our previous research about lung cancer prognosis [9,34], and these genes were also associated with the outcome of multiple cancers [35,36]. And all the selected SNPs must satisfy the condition that the minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05 in the HapMap CHB population. The DNA we used for genotyping was separated from a 5ml external blood sample using FlexiGene DNA Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). All the samples were stored at 4 °C before use. Genotyping was conducted by Sequenom’s MassARRAY system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA, USA).

2.4. Statistical Analysis

We used Cox proportional hazard models to analyze the differences in the variables, such as histology, age, clinical stage, smoking status, gender, and metastasis between the PFS and OS. We used the forward stepwise method of Cox proportional hazard models to find the covariates. Variables that were significantly associated with OS or PFS were considered as the covariates in the specific subgroup. And then, we fit the covariates into a multivariate logistic regression model to adjust the covariates via the command of -cover in PLINK. The p-value was 2-sided, and p < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. All association analyses were conducted using three models, including additive, dominant, and recessive. The additive model is for the additive effects of SNPs. It means if D is a minor allele and d is the major allele, the additive model means DD vs. Dd vs. dd. Dominant and recessive models are tests for the minor allele with two of the classes pooled. The dominant model means (DD, Dd) vs. dd, and the recessive model means DD vs. (Dd, dd). The aforementioned statistical analyses were performed using PLINK (ver 1.07, https://zzz.bwh.harvard.edu/plink/, accessed on 10 October 2009) and SPSS 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).

3. Results

3.1. Distribution of Characteristics in Lung Cancer Patients and Prognosis Analysis

The demographic characteristics and prognosis consequences for the 345 lung cancer patients are provided in Table 3. The majority of these patients were NSCLC (67.5%), compared with SCLC (28.7%). The median age was 56 years old. Most of them were diagnosed at an advanced stage, III/IV/ED (86.4%), in contrast to I/II/LD (11.9%). More than half of the patients were smokers (64.6%), with a non-smoking proportion of 35.4%. Most patients were male (82.6%) versus female (17.4%). The patients with metastasis were 43.2%, and those without metastasis were 17.7%. The median survival time of overall survival (MST-OS) is 4.42 years, and the median survival time of progression-free survival (MST-PFS) is 3.16 years. The other statistics of the clinical outcomes in the above subgroups were also summarized inTable 3.

3.2. Association between Polymorphisms and Prognosis in the Lung Cancer Patients

As we analyzed, the genomic polymorphisms ERCC5 rs873601 (G>A) were significantly associated with the overall survival (OS) of lung cancer patients in the recessive model (p = 0.031). This means that patients who carry the ERCC5 rs873601 GG genotype had a shorter MST-OS than the patients who have the ERCC5 rs873601 GA or AA genotypes (MST-OS: 3.28, 4.88, 4.02 years, respectively) (Table 4). The “BETA” in Table 4 and Table 5 means the estimated value in the logistic regression. In conclusion, patients who carry the allele A of ERCC5 rs873601 are the protective allele in the prognosis of lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy (Figure 1).

3.3. Stratification Analyses of Association between Polymorphisms and Prognosis in Lung Cancer Patients

To further elucidate the association between these SNPs and the prognosis in lung cancer patients, we also performed subgroup analysis based on age, gender, smoking status, histology, clinical stage, and metastasis. As shown in Table 5, the ERCC5 rs873601 was related to overall survival in additive and recessive model in age > 56 years lung cancer patients (Additive model: p = 0.032; Recessive model: p = 0.004) and smoker patients in additive and recessive model (Additive model: p = 0.048; Recessive model: p = 0.018). The PNKY rs2444933 was significantly associated with overall survival in age ≤ 56 (Additive model: p = 0.043; Recessive model: p = 0.036), metastasis (Additive model: p = 0.019; Recessive model: p = 0.035), non-smoking (Recessive model: p = 0.042) and III/IV/ED (Additive model: p = 0.040) patients. Furthermore, the STIR1 rs3740051 polymorphisms in SCLC (Additive model: p = 0.018; Dominant model: p = 0.023) and metastasis (Additive model: p = 0.048) patients were significantly associated with overall survival (Figure 2).
We also analyzed the association between the genomic polymorphisms with progress-free survival (PFS) in subgroups. The polymorphisms of ERCC5 rs873601 (Additive model: p = 0.031; Dominant model: p = 0.027), PNKY rs2444933 (Recessive model: p = 0.007), and PNKY rs1869641 (Recessive model: p = 0.028) were significantly associated with the PFS in SCLC patients. The XRCC5 rs1051685 were significantly associated with the PFS in non-metastasis patients in additive and dominant models (Additive model: p = 0.037; Dominant model: p = 0.037) (Figure 3).
As we showed in Figure 4, the main finding of our study was that the polymorphisms of ERCC5 rs873601 play an important role in the prognosis of lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. The mechanism of which is also valuable will be discussed. The rs873601 is a 3_prime_UTR_variant in ERCC5, and it may affect the translation of mRNA of ERCC5, the RNA-binding protein (RBP), and the protein-to-protein interaction. As we all know, the function of 3′UTR to regulate the mRNA stability or translation [37] and interactions between the mRNA and possible binding proteins have been widely reported [38]. It has also been reported that 3’UTR can regulate protein characteristics by mediating 3’UTR-dependent protein–protein interactions (PPI) [39]. 3’UTR can regulate the formation of protein complexes and determine the function of proteins, indicating that the genetic information encoded by the 3’ UTR can be transmitted to proteins [40]. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3’-terminal untranslated region (3’-UTR) targeted by microRNAs (miRNAs) can alter the gene function, which can impact the function of nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway [41]. In other words, rs873601 is a 3’UTR variant in ERCC5, and it may alter the gene function of ERCC5. It can regulate the NER pathway of DNA damage and repair, which has been reported to be significantly associated with platinum-based chemotherapy resistance. ERCC5 rs873601 may be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of lung cancer patients, which is valuable and will be further investigated.

4. Discussion

As a crucial member of the DNA damage and repair system, there are plenty of reports about ERCC5 and lung cancer. The ERCC5 rs17655GG was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, and it may be associated with lung cancer susceptibility in the Chinese population [42]. In the other investigation, ERCC5 rs4771436 and rs1047768 genotypes were reported to be associated with an increased risk of lung cancer patients [20]. ERCC5 rs751402 polymorphisms were significantly related to the risk in NSCLC patients in North Indians [43]. In other populations of the coal-mining region, the genomic variants of ERCC5 rs17655 were associated with lung cancer risk significantly [44]. There were also investigations about ERCC5 and lung cancer prognosis, ERCC5 (rs2094258 and rs2296147) was reported to be related to progression-free survival (PFS) in NSCLC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy [45]. It has been also found that the ERCC5 rs751402 genotype was associated with the treatment response in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy [46]. The SNPs of ERCC5 in Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway genes were correlated with toxicity treated with double chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients [47]. These all mean that the polymorphisms in DNA repair genes are significantly related to the risk of lung cancer and play an important role in the occurrence of lung cancer. The novelty of our results is that we noticed the importance of polymorphisms in 3′UTR in ERCC5 rather than the exon mutations in other studies. We found that the ERCC5 rs873601 plays a critical role in the resistance of platinum-based chemotherapy in lung cancer patients, which can perfect the investigation of ERCC5 gene mutations in lung cancer. And it may provide new insights into the treatment of lung cancer patients.
As we all know, Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2/ERBB2) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) are two crucial biomarkers in the prognosis of lung cancer [48,49]. These biomarkers are often used for the screening, detection, diagnosis, prognosis, prediction, and monitoring of cancer development [50]. It has been reported that the adverse drug reaction (ADR) in HER2 (+) patients with Grade 3 or 4 was significantly higher than that in the control group in NSCLC patients [51]. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are an important treatment regimen for lung cancer patients. However, up to 50% of patients treated with first- and second-generation TKIs develop an EGFR exon 20 T790M mutation at the time of progression, which may lead to a treatment failure in these patients [52]. Finding new biomarkers for lung cancer patients is of great importance. ERCC5 as an important component in the repair pathway of platinum-induced damage, plays an important role in the prognosis of lung cancer patients [53]. The polymorphisms of ERCC5 have been reported to be associated with the risk of NSCLC [54]. ERCC5 may become a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of lung cancer patients, as important as HER2 and EGFR.
We also found that PNKY rs2444933 and rs1869641 were associated with the prognosis in lung cancer patients through the stratified analysis. Most reports of PNKY were about its function in the brain, there are several investigations into its role in cancer. It has been found that PNKY can inhibit the binding of miR124 to Polypyrimidine Tract-Binding Protein 1 (PTBP1) and maintain the homeostasis of choroidal vascular function [55]. PNKY may control the resistance of platinum-based chemotherapy via the regulation of choroidal vascular function. STIR1 rs3740051 and XRCC5 rs1051685 polymorphisms were associated with the prognosis significantly in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. STIR1 was reported to be related to immune evasion, which may be essential to maintain their stability [56]. STIR1 may play an important role in lung cancer survival via its regulation of immune evasion. XRCC5 was overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma, it may be a risk factor, and it can also predict a poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients [57]. The other investigation also found that XRCC5 was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma patients [58]. It was also reported that the transcriptional overexpression of XRCC5 showed a significant correlation with a shorter patient outcome in advanced lung cancer patients [59].
Our study investigated the association between the polymorphisms of DNA repair genes, PNKY and STIR1, with the prognosis in Chinese lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. We also stratified these polymorphisms in age, gender, smoking, histology, clinical stage, and metastasis. However, there were several limitations in our study. First, the sample size of our study was not large enough, as we only enrolled 345 patients in our project. As we performed multiple testing corrections, there were no significant SNPs remaining. Second, the biological function mechanisms of these SNPs need further study in vitro. Finally, the validation of our results needs replication studies with other independent subjects.
In conclusion, the variants of ERCC5 rs873601 were significantly associated with the prognosis in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients carrying the ERCC5 rs873601 A allele may have a longer overall survival (OS) than the G allele. The genotypes of ERCC5 rs873601 may be an attractive biomarker used to predict the prognosis of lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Figure 4. The polymorphisms of ERCC5 rs873601 can affect the prognosis of lung cancer patients. Rs873601 is a mutation located in the 3′UTR of ERCC5, it can affect the mRNA of ERCC5 to translation protein. It can also regulate the RNA-binding protein and the protein-to-protein interaction of ERCC5. These may have an influence on the DNA damage and repair in the NER pathway, which is a vital regulator in the prognosis of lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
