Main histologic types of non-small-cell lung cancer differ in expression of prognosis-related genes.
Abstract | BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence that suggests that particular histopathologic types of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) display distinct molecular characteristics. We analyzed, in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC), the expression of 8 genes that constitute 2 previously reported prognostic expression signatures in NSCLC. METHODS: RESULTS: Expression of CA9, CSF1, DUSP6, STAT1, and MMD differed between NSCLC and normal lung. EGFR was more abundant in SCC compared with AC, whereas the reverse was true for DUSP6 and ERBB3. A high expression of CSF1 correlated with shorter metastasis-free survival in the entire NSCLC group (P = .016) and in SCC (P = .049) and AC (P = .034) cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Several genes considered prognostic in NSCLC showed significantly different expression in SCC and AC, and thus should be analyzed separately in these 2 subtypes for their prognostic significance. CSF1 is similarly expressed in SCC and AC, and portends a poor outcome in the entire group of patients with NSCLC, and in SCC and AC when considered separately.
