Abstract [en]

The complex interaction between cancer cells and the microenvironment plays an essential role in all stages of tumourigenesis. Despite the significance of this interplay, alterations in protein composition underlying tumour-stroma interactions are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify stromal proteins with clinical relevance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A list encompassing 203 stromal candidate genes was compiled based on gene expression array data and available literature. The protein expression of these genes in human NSCLC was screened using the Human Protein Atlas. Twelve proteins were selected that showed a differential stromal staining pattern (BGN, CD99, DCN, EMILIN1, FBN1, PDGFRB, PDLIM5, POSTN, SPARC, TAGLN, TNC, VCAN). The corresponding antibodies were applied on tissue microarrays, including 190 NSCLC samples, and stromal staining was correlated with clinical parameters. Higher stromal expression of CD99 was associated with better prognosis in the univariate (p=0.037) and multivariate (p=0.039) analysis. The association was independent from the proportion of tumour stroma, the fraction of inflammatory cells, and clinical and pathological parameters like stage, performance status and tumour histology. The prognostic impact of stromal CD99 protein expression was confirmed in an independent cohort of 240 NSCLC patients (p=0.008). Furthermore, double-staining confocal fluorescence microscopy showed that CD99 was expressed in stromal lymphocytes as well as in cancer associated fibroblasts. Based on a comprehensive screening strategy the membrane protein CD99 was identified as a novel stromal factor with clinical relevance. The results support the concept that stromal properties have an important impact on tumour progression.

Abstract [en]

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) constitutes a clinically, histologically, and genetically heterogeneous disease entity that represents a major cause of cancer-related death. Early-stage patients, who undergo surgery with curative intent, experience high recurrence rates and the effect of adjuvant treatment is modest. Prognostic biomarkers would be of particular relevance to guide intensified treatment depending on expected outcome and moreover often infer a biological role in tumourigenesis.

This thesis presents a translational study approach to establish a well-characterised NSCLC frozen-tissue cohort and to obtain a profile of each specimen with regard to genome-wide copy number alterations, global gene expression levels and somatic mutations in selected cancer-related genes. Furthermore, the generation of a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue microarray enabled validation of findings on the protein level using immunohistochemistry. The comprehensive molecular characterisation, combined with data on clinical parameters, enabled the analysis of biomarkers linked to disease outcome. In Paper I, single nucleotide polymorphism arrays were applied to assess copy number alterations in NSCLC and associations with overall survival in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma were described. In Paper II, we evaluated expression levels of selected stromal proteins in NSCLC using immunohistochemistry and the adhesion molecule CD99 was identified as an outcome-related biomarker in two independent cohorts. Paper III presents a strategy for prognostic biomarker discovery based on gene expression profiling, meta-analysis, and validation of protein expression on tissue microarrays, and suggests the putative tumour suppressor CADM1 as a candidate biomarker. In Paper IV, we propose a prognostic role for tumour-infiltrating IGKC-expressing plasma cells in the local tumour microenvironment, indicating an involvement of the humoral immune response in anti-tumor activity. In Paper V, we combined next-generation deep sequencing with statistical analysis of the TP53 database to define novel parameters for database curation.

In summary, this thesis exemplifies the benefits of a translational study approach, based on a comprehensive tumour characterisation, and describes molecular markers associated with clinical outcome in NSCLC.

Abstract [en]

Proteins are essential building blocks in every living cell, and since the complete human genome was sequenced in 2004, researchers have attempted to map the human proteome, which is the functional representation of the genome. One such initiative is the Human Protein Atlas programme (HPA), which generates monospecific antibodies towards all human proteins and uses these for high-throughput tissue profiling on tissue microarrays (TMAs). The results are publically available at the website www.proteinatlas.org.

In this thesis, TMAs were used for analysis of expression patterns in various research areas. Different search queries in the HPA were tested and evaluated, and a number of potential biomarkers were identified, e.g. proteins exclusively expressed in islets of Langerhans, but not in exocrine glandular cells or other abdominal organs close to pancreas. The identified candidates were further analyzed on TMAs with pancreatic tissues from normal and diabetic individuals, and colocalization studies with insulin and glucagon revealed that several of the investigated proteins (DGCR2, GBF1, GPR44 and SerpinB10) appeared to be beta cell specific. Moreover, a set of proteins differentially expressed in lung cancer stroma was further analyzed on a clinical lung cancer cohort in the TMA format, and one protein (CD99) was significantly associated with survival. In addition, TMAs with tissue samples from different species were generated, e.g. for mapping of influenza virus attachment in various human and avian tissues. The results showed that the gull influenza virus H16N3 attached to human respiratory tract and eye, suggesting possible transmission of the virus between gull and human. TMAs were also used for analysis of protein expression differences between humans and other primates, and two proteins (TCF3 and SATB2) proved to be significantly differentially expressed on the human lineage at both the protein level and the RNA level.  

In conclusion, this thesis exemplifies the potential of the TMA technology, which can be used for analysis of expression patterns in a large variety of research fields, such as biomarker discovery, influenza virus research or further understanding of human evolution.
