    Abstract: To identify molecular predictors of grade 3/4 neutropenic or leukopenic events (NLE) after chemotherapy using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Experimental Design: A GWAS was performed on patients in the phase III chemotherapy study SUCCESS-A (n = 3,322). Genotyping was done using the Illumina HumanOmniExpress-12v1 array. Findings were functionally validated with cell culture models and the genotypes and gene expression of possible causative genes were correlated with clinical treatment response and prognostic outcomes. Results: One locus on chromosome 16 (rs4784750; NLRC5; P = 1.56E-8) and another locus on chromosome 13 (rs16972207; TNFSF13B; P = 3.42E-8) were identified at a genome-wide significance level. Functional validation revealed that expression of these two genes is altered by genotype-dependent and chemotherapy-dependent activity of two transcription factors. Genotypes also showed an association with disease-free survival in patients with an NLE. Conclusions: Two loci in NLRC5 and TNFSF13B are associated with NLEs. The involvement of the MHC I regulator NLRC5 implies the possible involvement of immuno-oncological pathways.

    Abstract: A survival benefit has been consistently observed for tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) among ovarian cancer patients; however, prior studies consist of predominantly white women and little work has been conducted in racially diverse cohorts. Here, we investigate racial differences in the tumor immune landscape and survival among African-American (AA) and white women with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), the most common histotype of ovarian cancer. Leveraging two population-based case-control studies of ovarian cancer, the African-American Cancer Epidemiology Study and the North Carolina Ovarian Cancer Study, treatment-naïve AA women with HGSOC were matched to white women with HGSOC by stage and age. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded whole tissue sections to measure TILs (CD3+) and T-cell subsets, cytotoxic (CD3+CD8+) and regulatory (CD3+FoxP3+) T-cells. Image analysis was completed on three regions of interest (ROI) selected from the intratumoral region. We categorized immune cell abundance within the tumor, stroma, and overall as & lt;1% and ≥1% positive cells. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to examine the association between immune cell abundance and survival overall and by race. Among 121 AA and 121 white women with HGSOC, more than half (56%) had a higher TIL infiltrate overall, while 33% and 11% had higher levels of cytotoxic and regulatory T-cells, respectively. No differences in immune cell abundance were observed by race. Mean follow-up time was 4.3 ± 5.2 years, and 72% of the women are deceased. Higher levels of TILs and cytotoxic T-cells were associated with better outcomes overall (hazard ratio [HR]=0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] =0.53, 0.88 and HR=0.59, 95% CI=0.44, 0.80, respectively) and these associations were similar irrespective of tumor/stroma. No association with survival was observed for T-regulatory cells overall and in the tumor; however, improved survival was noted for higher levels of T-regulatory cells in the stroma (HR=0.69, 95% CI=0.49, 0.96). Associations with survival among white women were consistent with the overall findings, but among AA women, all associations were attenuated and not statistically significant. For example, white women with higher overall TILs had a 42% lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR=0.58, 95% CI=0.41, 0.82), whereas the association among AA women was weaker and not statistically significant (HR=0.79, 95% CI=0.54, 1.17). Adjusting for frontline treatment did not substantively impact these findings. Our results add to the existing evidence that a robust TIL infiltrate confers a survival advantage among women with HGSOC; however, AA women may not experience the same survival benefit as white women with HGSOC. An external replication in a larger cohort of ovarian cancer patients and additional investigation, particularly further characterization of the T-cells (e.g., exhaustion, activation) and their co-localization with other prognostically relevant immune cells, is warranted.

    Abstract: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) confer a survival benefit among patients with ovarian cancer; however, little work has been conducted in racially diverse cohorts. Methods: The current study investigated racial differences in the tumor immune landscape and survival of age- and stage-matched non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White women with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) enrolled in two population-based studies (n = 121 in each racial group). We measured TILs (CD3+), cytotoxic T cells (CD3+CD8+), regulatory T cells (CD3+FoxP3+), myeloid cells (CD11b+), and neutrophils (CD11b+CD15+) via multiplex immunofluorescence. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression was used to estimate the association between immune cell abundance and survival overall and by race. Results: Overall, higher levels of TILs, cytotoxic T cells, myeloid cells, and neutrophils were associated with better survival in the intratumoral and peritumoral region, irrespective of tissue compartment (tumor, stroma). Improved survival was noted for T-regulatory cells in the peritumoral region and in the stroma of the intratumoral region, but no association for intratumoral T-regulatory cells. Despite similar abundance of immune cells across racial groups, associations with survival among non-Hispanic White women were consistent with the overall findings, but among non-Hispanic Black women, most associations were attenuated and not statistically significant. Conclusions: Our results add to the existing evidence that a robust immune infiltrate confers a survival advantage among women with HGSOC; however, non-Hispanic Black women may not experience the same survival benefit as non-Hispanic White women with HGSOC. Impact: This study contributes to our understanding of the immunoepidemiology of HGSOC in diverse populations.

    Abstract: Tumor infiltrating regulatory T cells (Tregs) appear to play a role in survival in a number of solid tumors, including ovarian cancer. We assessed genetic variation via tag SNPs (N=749) in 25 Treg associated genes (CD28, CTLA4, FOXP3, IDO1, IL10, IL10RA, IL15, 1L17RA, IL23A, IL23R, IL2RA, IL6, IL6R, IL8, LGALS1, LGALS9, MAP3K8, STAT5A, STAT5B, TGFB1, TGFB2, TGFB3, TGFBR1, TGRBR2, and TGFBR3) in relation to ovarian cancer survival. SNPs were selected based on r2 ≥ 0.8, MAF ≥ 0.05, 5 kb upstream and downstream from the gene. We had SNP and outcome data for ovarian cancer from 10,084 combined ovarian cancer cases, including 5,248 high grade serous, 1,452 endometrioid, 661 mucinous, and 795 clear cell cases of European descent across multiple studies from the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC). Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to estimate per-allele hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations with overall survival, adjusting for age at diagnosis, population substructure PCs, study site, histology (for the all case analysis), tumor stage, tumor grade and oral contraceptive use. The strongest associations were found for endometrioid histologic subtype and IL2RA SNPs (maximum r2=0.67) rs11256497 [HR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.22-1.64; p=5.7 x 10−6], rs791587 [HR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.17-1.57; p=6.2 x 10−5] , rs2476491 [HR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.19-1.64; p=5.6 x 10−5], and rs10795763 [HR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.17-1.57; p=7.9 x 10−5] , as well as clear cell ovarian cancer and CTLA4 SNP rs231775 [HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.54-0.82; p=9.3 x 10−5]. No other associations were observed at p & lt;1 x 10−4. Overall, this study provided evidence that variation in genes related to Tregs, particularly IL2RA and CTLA4, influence ovarian cancer survival.

    Abstract: Genetic risk factors are important contributors to the development of colorectal cancer. Following the definition of a linkage signal at 9q22-31, we fine mapped this region in an independent collection of colon cancer families. We used a custom array of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) densely spaced across the candidate region, performing both single-SNP and moving-window association analyses to identify a colon neoplasia risk haplotype. Through this approach, we isolated the association effect to a five-SNP haplotype centered at 98.15 Mb on chromosome 9q. This haplotype is in strong linkage disequilibrium with the haplotype block containing HABP4 and may be a surrogate for the effect of this CD30 Ki-1 antigen. It is also in close proximity to GALNT12, also recently shown to be altered in colon tumors. We used a predictive modeling algorithm to show the contribution of this risk haplotype and surrounding candidate genes in distinguishing between colon cancer cases and healthy controls. The ability to replicate this finding, the strength of the haplotype association (odds ratio, 3.68), and the accuracy of our prediction model (∼60%) all strongly support the presence of a locus for familial colon cancer on chromosome 9q.

    Abstract: Using data from patients with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer, we sought to examine whether overall survival was associated with common inherited variation in candidate genes and genomic regions including those involved in angiogenesis, mitosis, and regions of interest from genome-wide association and expression studies. We conducted a two-stage analysis based on Mayo Clinic patients with replication of peak results in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Ovarian cancer patients (N=312) seen at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed from 1999 to 2006 with median follow-up of 3.7 years (range, 0.1 − 9.5 years) and 172 observed deaths were analyzed at 993 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 179 genes. For all patients and for serous patients only (N=192 with 129 observed deaths), Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each SNP, adjusted for other prognostic factors. Twenty-nine SNPs in ten genes revealed p & lt; 0.01 among all cases or among serous cases only, including 21 independent SNP at r2=0.9; analyses within four genes (HGF, PLG, PRKACB, and DCTN5) yielded p & lt; 0.001. The strongest result was in HGF at rs1800793 (all cases: HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3 − 2.2, p-trend 1.9 E-5; serous cases: HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2 − 2.2, p-trend 1.8 E-3). A correlated SNP rs2214825 also showed association (r2=0.76; all cases: HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1 − 1.8, p-trend 3.3 E-3; serous cases: HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0 − 1.9, p-trend 0.03), and PCA gene-level tests of the HGF locus were also significantly associated with survival (all cases, p=3.7 E-4; serous cases, p=0.01). Among all cases, differential survival was also associated with DCTN5 rs12447304 (HR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3-2.6; p=7.1 E-4), and among serous cases, with PLG rs783173 (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2 − 2.0, p = 8.1 E-4) and PRKACB rs1402694 (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3 − 2.2, p=3.2 E-4). We then examined SNPs in the most suggestive gene, HGF, using data from TCGA which had genotyped four overlapping HGF SNPs in 350 invasive cases (188 deaths). Covariate-adjusted TCGA analysis at rs2214825 revealed consistent results (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.2, p=1.4 E-4) as did analyses of three other HGF SNPs (HR range 1.3 to 1.5, p range 3.4 E-3 to 0.049); correlation between SNP genotypes and HGF expression was also observed (p=1.4 E-3, rs2214825, probe 210997_at). While this is the first report of SNPs in HGF, it has long been known that the HGF signaling pathway, activated by HGF ligation of c-MET, plays a key role ovarian cancer cell growth, migration, and invasion. c-MET is overexpressed in 40%-60% of ovarian tumors, and high overexpression is associated with lower overall survival. In addition, HGF has been shown to enhance the response of ovarian cancer cells to low doses of paclitaxel and cisplatin by activating the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, leading to cancer cell death. These results now suggest that inherited differences in HGF among women with invasive disease may play a role in survival, holding potential clues for tailored avenues of treatment.

    Abstract: As the leading cause of mortality among gynecologic cancers, it is critical to increase understanding of ovarian cancer pathogenesis, which remains largely unknown. Several xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes are responsible for processing and inactivating carcinogens that could initiate ovarian carcinogenesis. Here, we hypothesize that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes may be associated with differential risk of ovarian cancer. Cases with epithelial ovarian cancer (N=930) and controls (N=1,037), frequency-matched on age and geographic residence, were enrolled at Mayo Clinic and Duke University, and genotyped at 163 tagSNPs in EPHX1, SULT1E1, ADH5, ADH4, ADH6, ADH1A, ADH1B, ADH1C, NQO2, NAT1, NAT2, GSTP1, CYP19A1, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and NQO1 using an Illumina GoldenGate™ BeadArray array. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and adjust for population structure and other potential confounders, including oral contraceptive use, parity, and family history. SNP-specific statistical analyses identified several noteworthy results including an association with increased risk of ovarian cancer with a SNP (rs2917666) in NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 1 (NQO1) (per-allele OR 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.33, p=0.04). The SNP rs1051740 in epoxide hydrolase 1, microsomal (xenobiotic) (EPHX1) was suggestive of increased risk of invasive serous disease (TT v CT OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.66-1.09, TT v CC 1.29, 95% CI 0.89-1.88, p=0.09). In an effort to replicate these observations, a subset of 11 SNPs with a p-value & lt; 0.10 were then genotyped in 727 invasive cancer cases and 1,065 controls from an Australian ovarian cancer study using a Sequenom iPlex assay. Results of combined analyses confirmed an association between EPHX1 rs1051740 and increased invasive serous ovarian cancer risk (TT v CT OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.77-1.29, TT v CC OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.23-2.11, p=0.001; recessive OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.25-2.09, p=0.001). This gene is involved in the activation and detoxification of tobacco-derived carcinogens, and smoking has been associated with the mucinous histologic subtype of ovarian cancer. Analyses by histological subtype and gene-environment interaction analyses considering genotype in conjunction with tobacco use and alcohol intake are underway. Due to the important role of EPHX1 in metabolizing pro-carcinogens and the observed association between rs1051740 and risk of invasive serous disease, an examination of this SNP in a larger ovarian cancer consortium is warranted.

    Abstract: Defective microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis contributes to the development and progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In this study, we examined the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in miRNA biogenesis genes may influence EOC risk. In an initial investigation, 318 SNPs in 18 genes were evaluated among 1,815 EOC cases and 1,900 controls, followed up by a replicative joint meta-analysis of data from an additional 2,172 cases and 3,052 controls. Of 23 SNPs from 9 genes associated with risk (empirical P & lt; 0.05) in the initial investigation, the meta-analysis replicated 6 SNPs from the DROSHA, FMR1, LIN28, and LIN28B genes, including rs12194974 (G & gt;A), an SNP in a putative transcription factor binding site in the LIN28B promoter region (summary OR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.82–0.98; P = 0.015) which has been recently implicated in age of menarche and other phenotypes. Consistent with reports that LIN28B overexpression in EOC contributes to tumorigenesis by repressing tumor suppressor let-7 expression, we provide data from luciferase reporter assays and quantitative RT-PCR to suggest that the inverse association among rs12194974 A allele carriers may be because of reduced LIN28B expression. Our findings suggest that variants in LIN28B and possibly other miRNA biogenesis genes may influence EOC susceptibility. Cancer Res; 71(11); 3896–903. ©2011 AACR.

    Abstract: Background. The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signaling pathway regulates key cellular functions related to tumor invasion and metastasis including cell motility, cell proliferation, and morphogenesis. We previously found that minor alleles at a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs5745709) in the gene encoding the cytokine HGF was associated with poorer overall survival in women with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) enrolled at Mayo Clinic (MAY) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.3-1.9, p=8.9×10−5). In addition, we found that that genotype correlated with HGF expression in ovarian cancer tissue from TCGA women, suggesting that genetically-regulated expression of HGF may play a role in post-diagnosis survival. To further examine this possibility, we evaluated intensity of antibody immunostaining for HGF, MET (HGF's transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor), and phospho-MET (pMET; MET's activated form) in tumor cells using tissue microarrays (TMAs) created from genotyped primary peritoneal and EOC cases, and correlated these expression levels with overall survival and HGF SNP genotypes. Methods. Participants were 326 white non-Hispanic women over 20 years of age with histologically-confirmed invasive EOC diagnosed between 1998 and 2009. All cases were enrolled at MAY within one year of diagnosis. Five μm sections of TMAs including three 0.6 mm cores per case were immunostained with HGF, MET, and pMET primary antibodies. Staining levels were classified according to combinations of staining extent and intensity as negative ( & lt; 10% cells stained), weak, moderate, or strong. The maximal expression value recorded over the multiple cores for each case was used. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to examine associations of overall survival with HGF, MET and pMET expression levels, adjusted for relevant clinical variables. Associations between expression levels and HGF SNP rs5745709 genotypes were examined using linear regression models. Results. HGF and MET expression were not associated with overall survival in our series of EOC cases (p=0.48 and 0.90, respectively). pMET expression was associated with survival, but in the opposite direction of that hypothesized (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.39-1.52 for moderate expression; HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.27-1.10 for strong expression; each referent to negative/weak, p=0.01). Expression levels were not significantly associated with HGF rs5745709 genotypes (p=0.80 for HGF expression, p=0.89 for MET, p=0.41 for pMET). Conclusion. HGF expression levels were not associated with overall survival or with HGF SNP genotypes that correlated with survival in a previous study. Functional studies such as this one are crucial as a follow-up to discovery-based studies in order to assess biologic plausibility of observed results.

    Abstract: Both genetic and epigenetic factors influence the development and progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, there is an incomplete understanding of the interrelationship between these factors and whether they interact to impact disease risk. Given that the development of ovarian cancer is complex, we aimed to identify DNA methylation marks that are candidates for mediating ovarian cancer genetic risk. We used 214 cases and 214 age-matched controls from the Mayo Clinic Ovarian Cancer Study. Pretreatment, blood-derived DNA was profiled for genome-wide methylation (Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadArray) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, Illumina Infinium HD Human610-Quad BeadArray). We employed a three-step filtering procedure, followed by the Causal Inference Test (CIT), to distinguish CpG sites that mediate genetic risk, from those that are consequential or independently acted on by genotype. Controlling for the estimated distribution of immune cells and other key covariates, we identified 1,993 out of 25,926 (7.7%) CpGs that were significantly differentially methylated between cases and controls (FDR, q & lt; 0.05). The relationship between methylation and case-control status among these 1,993 CpGs was found to be highly consistent with the results of an independent study. Implementation of the CIT test revealed 13 CpG/SNP pairs, comprising 13 unique CpGs and 17 unique SNPs, which represent potential methylation-mediated relationships between genotype and EOC risk. These findings provide additional insight into EOC etiology and may serve as novel biomarkers for EOC susceptibility. Citation Format: Devin C. Koestler, Prabhakar Chalise, Mine S. Cicek, Julie M.
