Outline of Final Research Achievements

Precisely diagnosing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AD) is important to select the most effective treatment regimen for lung cancer, but this has been challenging in cases with poorly differentiated SCC (PDSCC) and AD without a lepidic growth component (non-lepidic AD). We approached this problem with a genome-wide technology to monitor promoter activities, Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE). Based on the genome-wide profiles of 97 frozen tissues from surgically resected lung cancers, we identified two novel markers, SPATS2 for SCC and ST6GALNAC1 for AD. The expression of known molecular markers used in immunohistochemical analysis (IHC) for SCC (CK5, CK6, p40 and desmoglein-3) and AD (TTF-1 and napsin A) were different between SCC and AD. We confirmed their performance with an IHC and also confirmed the findings in another group of 74 patients.
