      摘 要: [目的] 利用生物信息学方法对结直肠癌(colorectal cancer,CRC)中的DNA聚合酶ε(POLE)和DNA聚合酶δ1(POLD1)的突变情况进行分析,并探索两者对CRC预后及免疫治疗的影响。[方法] 基于TCGA数据库的数据集,利用cBioPortal工具对所有癌症中的POLE/POLD1的改变及其预后进行分析,利用MSIsensor、MANTIS两种评分系统对POLE/POLD1野生型和突变型的CRC患者微卫星不稳定性进行评价,并利用TIMER数据库分析CRC的免疫细胞浸润以及免疫检查点表达与POLE/POLD1突变之间相关性。[结果] 在CRC中POLE/POLD1基因的改变频率为6%,且均以错义突变为主。在泛癌中POLE的突变后患者无进展生存期(P<0.001)、无病生存期(P<0.001)及疾病特异性生存期(P=0.017 8)均显著延长。POLE/POLD1突变型CRC患者的微卫星不稳定性占比相比较于野生型患者显著提高(P<0.001),且免疫检查点相关基因CD274、HAVCR2、PDCD1、CTLA4、LAG3、TIGIT和PDCD1LG2的表达均显著上升。CRC中POLE和POLD1基因表达均与肿瘤突变负荷显著相关。此外,CRC中POLE/POLD1突变还与CD8+ T细胞、中性粒细胞、树突状细胞等免疫细胞的浸润相关。 [结论] POLE/POLD1基因的改变在CRC中较为常见,在泛癌中POLD1突变与患者预后相关。POLE/POLD1基因突变后可能造成微卫星不稳定性增高、免疫检查点的表达上调和免疫细胞浸润程度增加,其可能成为免疫治疗的新靶点。
英文摘要:
      Abstracts:[Objective] To investigate the mutations of DNA polymerase ε (POLE) and DNA polymerase δ1(POLD1) in colorectal cancer(CRC) and their relation with immunotherapy and prognosis of patients. [Methods] Using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database, the mutations of POLE/POLD1 gene and prognosis of pan-cancer patients were analyzed with the cBioPortal tool. The microsatellite instability(MSI) of wild-type and mutant-type POLE/POLD1 of CRC patients were detected by the two scoring systems of MSIsensor and MANTIS. The correlation of POLE/POLD1 mutation with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint expression in CRC was analyzed by the TIMER database. [Results] The mutation frequency of the POLE/POLD1 gene in CRC was 6%, predominantly consisting of missense mutations. In pan-cancer, patients with mutations in POLE showed significantly prolonged progression-free survival(PFS)(P<0.001), disease-free survival(DFS)(P<0.001), and disease-specific survival(DSS)(P=0.017 8). The CRC patients with mutated type of POLE/POLD1 exhibited a significantly higher MSI percentage and up-regulated expression of immune checkpoint-related genes CD274, HAVCR2, PDCD1, CTLA4, LAG3, TIGIT and PDCD1LG2, compared to CRC patients with the wild-type(P<0.001). The expression of POLE and POLD1 genes in CRC was significantly correlated with tumor mutation burden. Furthermore, the mutation in POLE/POLD1 in CRC was associated with the infiltration of immune cells such as CD8+ T cells, neutrophils and dendritic cells. [Conclusion] Mutations on POLE/POLD1 are relative common in CRC, and mutations of POLD1 are related to the prognosis of patients in pan-cancer. Mutations on the POLE/POLD1 gene may cause increased MSI, up-regulated expression of immune checkpoint genes, and increased immune cell infiltration, indicating that POLE/POLD1 gene might be used as a novel target for immunotherapy.
