中文摘要
背景:肺类癌(pulmonary carcinoids, PCs)包括不典型类癌(atypical carcinoids, ACs)和典型类癌(typical carcinoids, TCs),是一类罕见的肺癌,以低至中度恶性为特征。然而,从全球范围来看,人们对PCs相关的基因组和免疫特征了解有限。
方法:本研究纳入126例可手术切除的PC患者,包括44例ACs和82例TCs。采用578基因panel进行二代测序,并进行PD-L1和CD8的免疫组化染色。
发现:PCs中最常发生改变的基因为EGFR(n=16,18%)、KMT2C(n=11,12%)、LRP1B(n=10,11%)、MEN1(n=10,11%)和NOTCH2(n=9,10%)。这些PCs中普遍观察到RTK/RAS、NOTCH和PI3K通路的失调。我们的研究揭示,仅有4.6%的PC患者被鉴定为PD-L1阳性,且早期PCs中TMB和CD8+ T细胞浸润较低,表现为"免疫排斥"或"免疫荒漠"型微环境。我们确定年龄、性别、TNM分期、肿瘤类型、吸烟状态、TMB和LRP1B突变为预后不良的指标。我们发现,对于那些携带LRP1B突变的可手术切除早期PC患者,其肿瘤相关死亡和复发风险增加,并据此进一步提出了基于LRP1B突变状态的分子分型。
解读:我们描绘了PCs的遗传和免疫图谱,并提出了基于LRP1B突变的分子分型。我们的研究为PCs的生物学机制提供了新的见解,有助于PC患者的个体化治疗。

Background: Pulmonary carcinoids (PCs), encompassing atypical carcinoids (ACs) and typical carcinoids (TCs), represent a rare category of lung cancer characterized by low to moderate malignancy. However, there is a limited understanding of the genomic and immune characteristics associated with PCs on a global scale.
Methods: This study enrolled 126 surgically resectable PC patients, comprising 44 ACs and 82 TCs. Next-generation sequencing utilizing a 578-gene panel was conducted and immunohistochemical staining for PD-L1 and CD8 was also carried out.
Findings: The most frequently altered genes in PCs were identified as EGFR (n=16, 18%), KMT2C (n=11, 12%), LRP1B (n=10, 11%), MEN1 (n=10, 11%), and NOTCH2 (n=9, 10%). Dysregulation of the RTK/RAS, NOTCH, and PI3K pathways was commonly observed in these PCs. Our study unveiled that only 4.6% of the PC patients were identified as PD-L1 positivity, and TMB and CD8+ T cell infiltration were found to be low in early-stage PCs, as manifested by the “immune-excluded” or “immune-desert” microenvironment. We identified age, gender, TNM stage, tumor type, smoking status, TMB, and LRP1B mutation as indicators of poor prognosis. We found that for those surgically resectable early-stage PC patients with LRP1B mutation, patients exhibit an increased risk for tumor-related mortality and recurrence, and subsequently further proposed a molecular classification based on the status of LRP1B mutation.
Interpretation: We depicted the genetic and immune landscape of PCs and proposed a LRP1B mutation based molecular classification. Our research offers novel insights into the biological mechanisms of PCs which contributes to the individualized treatment for PC patients.
