Abstract [en]

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an enzyme that has been extensively investigated as a prognostic marker in cancer. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previous results regarding the prognostic impact of COX-2 expression are inconsistent. Therefore we evaluated the association between transcript levels and overall survival in nine publicly available gene expression data sets (total n=1337) and determined in situ compartment-specific tumor and stromal cell protein expression in two independent cohorts (n=616). Gene expression did not show any correlation with clinical parameters or with overall survival. Protein expression in tumor and stromal cells did not correlate with any clinical parameter or with overall survival in one of the analyzed cohorts, while a significant association of high stromal expression with longer survival was observed in both univariate and multivariate analysis in the other cohort. Stromal expression of COX-2 has not been separately evaluated in NSCLC previously and may be a subject of further investigation, whereas the presented findings from this comprehensive compartment specific evaluation clearly reject the hypothesis of COX-2 tumor cell expression having a prognostic value in NSCLC.

Abstract [en]

Despite improvements in therapy, the prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains poor, and cure is only possible in localized tumors after surgical resection. A new generation of targeted cancer drugs has led to the expectation that lung cancer therapy can be significantly improved, but these drugs are today only an option in a small subset of NSCLC patients, and their effect is temporary. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to characterize NSCLC in order to find new treatment targets and to evaluate biomarkers that further optimize therapy selection.

In Paper I, the expression of the potential treatment targets claudin 6 and claudin 18.2 were evaluated based on immunohistochemical- and gene expression analysis. High ectopic protein and gene expression were demonstrated for both claudins in small subgroups of NSCLC. Clinical trials using humanized monoclonal antibodies against both proteins are ongoing in other cancer forms and may be extended to NSCLC.

In Paper II, the prognostic impact of the inflammatory mediator cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) was evaluated. No prognostic significance was found in a meta-analysis incorporating gene expression data of 1337 NSCLC patients. Likewise, COX-2 protein expression in tumor cells was not associated with survival in two independent NSCLC cohorts. However, in one of the analyzed cohorts, higher COX-2 expression in the tumor stroma was associated with longer survival and may therefore be a subject for further investigation.

In Paper III, tumor and stromal COX-2 protein expression was examined in patients treated with the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib in order to evaluate if COX-2 expression is a predictive biomarker for benefit of celecoxib therapy. Celecoxib did not prolong overall survival neither in the whole cohort nor in patients stratified according to COX-2 expression in tumor or stromal cells. Noteworthy, a tendency towards longer survival was again demonstrated in patients with high COX-2 stromal expression.

In Paper IV, the diagnostic methods for identification of ALK rearrangements were assessed in a large representative Swedish NSCLC population. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), as the diagnostic standard, was compared to two immunohistochemical assays. ALK gene expression levels were incorporated to supplement the molecular data. The frequency of ALK rearrangements was lower than previously reported. The different methods to detect the ALK fusion demonstrated overlapping results. However, the overlap was poor, so the methods cannot be regarded as interchangeable and should thereby be interpreted with caution when used in clinical diagnostics.

In summary, this thesis applied an integrative translational approach to characterize potential new treatment targets and to evaluate the detection of existing predictive biomarkers in NSCLC.
