EGFR-activating mutations, DNA copy number abundance of ErbB family, and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, EGFR-activating mutation status and DNA copy number abundances of members of ErbB family were measured in 261 lung adenocarcinomas. The associations between DNA copy number abundances of ErbB family, EGFR-activating mutation status, and prognosis were explored. Results showed that DNA copy number abundances of EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB3, and ERBB4 had associations with overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR-activating mutations. In the stratification analysis, only ERBB2 showed significant discrepancy in patients carrying wild type EGFR and other members of ErbB family in patients carrying EGFR-activating mutation. This indicated that CNAs of ErbB family had effect modifications of EGFR-activating mutation status. Findings of this study demonstrate potential molecular guidance of patient management of lung adenocarcinoma with or without EGFR-activating mutations.

EGFR unusual mutation status in lung adenocarcinomas
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. Adenocarcinoma represents about 28% of the NSCLC cases in men and 42% in women. EGFR is a member of the ERBB family of tyrosine kinases (TK). EGFR mutations are more frequently observed in female, non-smokers, East-Asian and in patients with adenocarcinomas, and predict response to TK Inhibitors (TKIs). Sections of ade...

Background and Objective: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation, especially in exons 18 to 21, is an important predictor of the response rate of lung adenocarcinoma to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. There are variable reports from Asian and European countries, as well as North America, about the frequency of the EGFR mutation in lung adenocarcinoma, yet molecular s...

Background and Aim: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths wordwide and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially adenocarcinoma, is the most common type of lung cancer. Most cases of adenocarcinoma will occur due to KRAS mutations or EGFR mutations and amplifications. The polymorphism rs884225 which is associated with increased EGFR expression is located in the 3'UT...
متن کاملEpidermal Growth Factor Receptor of in Lung Adenocarcinomas That Are Sensitive to Inhibition High Expression of ErbB Family Members and Their Ligands
Recent findings in tumor biopsies from lung adenocarcinoma patients suggest that somatic mutations in the genes encoding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Kirsten ras (KRAS) confer sensitivity and resistance, respectively, to EGFR inhibition. Here, we provide evidence that these genetic mutations are not sufficient to modulate the biological response of lung adenocarcinoma cells to EG...
