Long Noncoding RNA Signature and Disease Outcome in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Tamoxifen.
Journal of Breast Cancer 2018 September
PURPOSE: Recent data have shown that the expression levels of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with tamoxifen sensitivity in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Herein, we constructed an lncRNA-based model to predict disease outcomes of ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen.
METHODS: LncRNA expression information was acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus by re-mapping pre-existing microarrays of patients with ER-positive breast cancer treated with tamoxifen. The distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) predictive signature was subsequently built based on a Cox proportional hazard regression model in discover cohort patients, which was further evaluated in another independent validation dataset.
RESULTS: Six lncRNAs were found to be associated with DMFS in the discover cohort, which were used to construct a tamoxifen efficacy-related lncRNA signature (TLS). There were 133 and 362 patients with TLS high- and low-risk signatures in the discover cohort. Both univariate and multivariate analysis demonstrated that TLS was associated with DMFS. TLS high-risk patients had worse outcomes than low-risk patients, with a hazard ratio of 4.04 (95% confidence interval, 2.83-5.77; p <0.001). Both subgroup analysis and receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that TLS performed better in lymph node-negative, luminal B, 21-gene recurrence score high-risk, and 70-gene prognosis signature high-risk patients. Moreover, in a comparison of the 21-gene recurrence score and 70-gene prognosis signature, TLS showed a similar area under receiver operating characteristic curve in all patients. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis indicated that TLS high-risk patients showed different gene expression patterns related to the cell cycle and nucleotide metabolism from those of low-risk patients.
CONCLUSION: This six-lncRNA signature was associated with disease outcome in ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen, which is comparable to previous messenger RNA signatures and requires further clinical evaluation.
