Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
肝細胞癌(肝癌)の治療後に免疫チェックポイント阻害剤(ICI)が投与された例を用い、再発予防と関連する免疫関連分子の解析を行った。32例に関し、免疫染色(IHC)にて評価した腫瘍免疫微小環境(TME)とICI投与下での再発の関連を解析した。免疫染色による腫瘍免疫環境(TME)の解析にはb-カテニン、GS、PD-1、PD-L1、CD8、とFoxp3を用い、腫瘍ゲノムの解析にはThermo FischerのTML assayにより、409の癌関連遺伝子変異、コピー数変化(CNV)、tumor mutation load (TML)を解析した。またRosheのCAPP-Seqにより血漿からctDNA検出を検出し、mlあたりvariant alleleが10コピー以上検出された場合をMRD陽性と判定した。 b-カテニンとGSの染色結果より肝癌をb-catenin経路活性化群、非活性化群、TME状態により4群(hot型、exhausted型、cold型、Treg型)に分類した。ICI投与による術後無再発生存期間(RFS)はb-カテニン経路非活性化群で活性化群より有意に長く(p=0.0191)、またhot/exhausted型はcold/Treg型に比較して有意に長かった(p<0.0001)。次に肝癌コホートでb-カテニン活性化に関わるCNVに注目した。b-カテニンにより活性化される転写因子TCF3, 4、およびMYCのlocusにCNVのある例はない例と比べて再発例が多く、PD-1抗体投与下での根治術後のRFSが有意に短いという結果が得られた。腫瘍組織のTMBとPD-1投与下での再発に関しては、再発例と無再発例でTMB量に差がなく、またRFSにも差がなかった。MRDに関しては、この症例数では有意差はないものの、根治術後にMRD陽性例ではRFSが短い傾向にあった。

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
本研究計画では、肝癌根治術後のアジュバント療法としての免疫チェックポイント阻害剤を使用中に腫瘍が再発した例での遺伝子変異の特徴、チロシンキナーゼ阻害剤による腫瘍反応後に再増悪を来した例の遺伝子変異の特徴を、血中circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA)を用いて解析することを目的としている。今回は前年度の成果から、さらに癌関連遺伝子変異、コピー数変化(CNV)、tumor mutation load (TML)をより詳細に解析した。今回の肝癌コホートではβカテニン遺伝子の変異例が1例、APC変異例が2例しかなかったため、βカテニン経路活性化変異に加え、βカテニンにより活性化される転写因子TCF3, 4、およびMYCのcopy number gain (CNG)に注目した。興味深いことに、これらのlocusにCNVのある例はない例と比べて再発例が多く、PD-1抗体投与下での根治術後のRFSが有意に短いという結果が得られた。また、症例背景に関して血中AFP値との関連を見たところ、術後でもAFPが8ng/ml以上の例では全例MRD陽性であり、血中AFP値が5未満の例でも約半数がMRD陽性となっていた。すなわち、肝癌術後に腫瘍マーカーが低下しても、約半数残存腫瘍がある可能性が示唆された。上記の成果より、本研究は概ね順調の進展していると言える。
|
Strategy for Future Research Activity |
今後は、より長期間のフォローによりイベント数が増えてから再解析する予定である。また、研究計画に基づき、チロシンキナーゼ阻害剤(TKI)における耐性変異クローンを同定する目的で、TKI投与により、腫瘍縮小が得られた症例中、治療前に手術あるいは腫瘍生検によるパラフィン包埋組織が利用可能な例を対象として、治療前の腫瘍組織の遺伝子異常をOncomine Tumor Mutation Load Assayにて、治療開始後、及び腫瘍の再増悪時のcfDNA の遺伝子変異をAVENIO ctDNA Surveillance panel にて解析する。
|
Causes of Carryover |
ほぼ予定通りの支出である。標本作成数に変更があり、若干の次年度使用額が生じたが、次年度の標本作成に使用する予定である。
