摘要
Background: This study aimed to identify microRNAs (miRs) as circulating biomarkers of resistance to first-line trastuzumab-based therapy in advanced HER2-positive oesophago-gastric cancer patients.Methods: A high-throughput 1015 Exiqon miRCURY LNA (TM) microRNA inhibitor library screen was performed in trastuzumab-treated HER2-positive NCI-N87 and HER2-negative FLO-1 oesophago-gastric cancer cell lines. NanoString nCounter (R) miR analysis was performed in NCI-N87, FLO-1, and MAGIC trial (ISRCTN93793971) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) oesophago-gastric cancer patient samples. MiR-148a-3p copies in plasma samples were quantified using digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) from HER2-positive oesophago-gastric cancer patients treated with standard-of-care trastuzumab-based therapy within the FOrMAT (NCT02112357) and PLATFORM (NCT02678182) clinical trials. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) for plasma miR-148a-3p HIGH (>median) versus LOW (<= median). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and 3-month progression-free rates (PFRs) miR-148a-3p HIGH versus LOW. PLATFORM sensitivity analysis normalised miR-148a-3p (NmiR-148a-3p).Results: The inhibition of miR-148a-3p reduced NCI-N87 relative cell viability (<0.6) and expression was high (>242) in NCI-N87 and HER2-positive MAGIC trial patients (n=5). Normalised-miR-148a-3p (NmiR-148a-3p) LOW versus HIGH demonstrated a statistically significant difference in 3-month PFRs (n=23; OR, 0.11 [0.02-0.78]; p=0.027; aOR, 0.03 [0.001-0.71], p=0.029) but no difference in OS or PFS. There was no statistically significant relationship between miR-148-3p LOW versus HIGH for OS (PLATFORM, n=62; hazard ratio [HR], 0.98 [0.57-1.66]; p=0.933; FOrMAT, n=8; HR, 0.54 [0.13-2.31]; p=0.322), PFS (n=62; HR, 1.08 [0.65-1.81]; p=0.759; FOrMAT, n=8; HR, 1.26 [0.31-5.07]; p=0.714), or PFRs (PLATFORM, n=31; odds ratio [OR], 0.67 [0.2-2.8]; p=0.577).Conclusion: Normalised miR-148a-3p may be a relevant biomarker for trastuzumab-based therapy in advanced HER2-positive oesophago-gastric cancer patients.
