Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of gene detection, and specifically relates to miRNA markers and uses thereof for lung cancer diagnosis, risk assessment and / or prognosis prediction. Background Art

[0002] Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide. In 2018 alone, there were an estimated 2.09 million new cases of lung cancer and 1.76 million deaths from lung cancer worldwide. In terms of pathological histology, lung cancer can be divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, the latter of which can be further divided into squamous cell carcinoma, large cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Among them, non-small cell carcinoma is currently the main type of lung cancer, accounting for more than 80% of all lung cancer cases.

[0003] The development of lung cancer is complex, with genetic and environmental factors interacting throughout the development process. Environmental risks include, but are not limited to, smoking, radiation exposure, and environmental toxins such as asbestos, arsenic, and chromium. Early-stage, non-metastatic lung tumors are most often treated with surgical resection, but advanced or metastatic lung cancer requires chemotherapy alone or in combination with radiation therapy. The disease presentation of advanced lung cancer, the heterogeneity of histological subtypes, the limited understanding of tumor biology, and the development of drug resistance are key reasons for the poor prognosis of lung cancer.

[0004] At present, the early diagnosis of lung cancer has improved slightly. Through the use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening, the mortality rate of high-risk groups for lung cancer was reduced by 20% in 2010. However, the LDCT screening method has a high false positive rate, which can lead to overdiagnosis, unnecessary radiation exposure, and economic and psychological burden on patients. In order to improve the diagnosis and understanding of lung cancer, it is still necessary to have a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of lung cancer and its tumors from the perspective of genetics and genomics.

[0005] In recent years, small molecules of about 20-24 nucleotides called microRNAs have attracted attention. As a type of non-coding short RNA, they play a role in regulating gene expression. miRNAs can recognize and bind to complementary sites in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs to inhibit translation or degradation of target gene mRNAs, thereby controlling the activity of most protein-coding genes and playing a prominent role in tumorigenesis by regulating cell cycle, metastasis, angiogenesis, metabolism and apoptosis.

[0006] The expression levels of miRNAs vary greatly in different organisms and can serve as potential cancer markers. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0149] The present invention may be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the basic attributes of the present invention. It should be understood that, without conflict, any and all embodiments of the present invention may be combined with the technical features in any other embodiment or multiple other embodiments to obtain other embodiments. The present invention includes other embodiments obtained by such combination.

[0150] All publications and patents mentioned in this disclosure are hereby incorporated by reference into this disclosure in their entirety. If the usage or terminology used in any publication or patent incorporated by reference conflicts with the usage or terminology used in this disclosure, the usage and terminology of this disclosure shall prevail.

[0151] The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described.

[0152] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meaning as commonly used in the field to which the present invention belongs. For the purpose of interpreting this specification, the following definitions will apply, and where appropriate, terms used in the singular will also include the plural form, and vice versa.

[0153] Unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the expressions "a", "an" and "an" as used herein include plural references. For example, reference to "a cell" includes a plurality of such cells and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.

[0154] As shown in the present disclosure, the term "about" means a range of ±20% of the value thereafter. In some embodiments, the term "about" means a range of ±10% of the value thereafter. In some embodiments, the term "about" means a range of ±5% of the value thereafter.

[0155] The numerical ranges used in the present disclosure should be understood to have listed all the numbers within the range. For example, a range of 1 to 20 should be understood to include any number, number combination or sub-range from the following group: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20. At least 20 should be understood to include any number, number combination or sub-range greater than or equal to 20: 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 40, 50, ..., 75.

[0156] As used in this disclosure, the term "comprises" or "comprising" means "including but not limited to". The term is intended to be open-ended to specify the presence of any stated features, elements, integers, steps, or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, integers, steps, components, or groups thereof. Therefore, the term "comprising" includes the more restrictive terms "consisting of" and "consisting essentially of". In one embodiment, the term "comprising" used throughout the application, especially in the claims, may be replaced by the term "consisting of".

[0157] As used herein, the terms "optional", "either", "any", or "any" mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs or does not occur. The terms "a" and "an" used herein are used herein to refer to one or more than one of the grammatical objects.

[0158] As shown in the present disclosure, “and / or” should be understood to mean any one of the optional items or a combination of any two or more of the optional items.

[0159] As shown in the present disclosure, the term "miRNA" or "microRNA" refers to a class of non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules with a length of 19-25nt encoded by endogenous genes. MicroRNA is partially complementary to one or more messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, and its main function is to downregulate gene expression in various ways, including translation inhibition, mRNA shearing and deadenylation. The miRNA gene is replicated and transcribed in the cell, and the primary transcription product pri-miRNA with a length of 300-1000 bases is first formed during transcription. Pri-miRNA is cut into a hairpin structure precursor miRNA with a length of 70-90nt by the Drosha enzyme, called pre-miRNA, which is not a mature miRNA at this time and needs to be further processed in the cytoplasm to become a mature and functional miRNA.

[0160] As shown in the present disclosure, the term "lung cancer", which means primary bronchial lung cancer, is the most common primary lung malignancy originating from the trachea, bronchial mucosa or glands.

In addition, in the following description, the description of known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention. Such structures and technologies are also described in the publication of many publications.

[0170] With respect to the expression distribution of miRNA in actual clinical practice, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are mainly:

[0171] First, the detailed information of all 2611 miRNAs was obtained from miRBase (https: / / www.mirbase.org);

[0172] Then, based on the samples of clinical lung cancer patients and healthy people, the data of the training cohort and the validation cohort were randomly divided. Further, hypothesis testing methods such as t-test were used to screen and select 75 miRNAs with significant differences between healthy people and lung cancer people from 2611 miRNAs, which are miRNA markers for lung cancer, including but not limited to HSA-MIR-1260B, HSA-MIR-1290, HSA-MIR-199A-5P, HSA-MIR-328-3P, HSA-MIR-451A, HSA-MIR-582-5P, HSA-MIR-627-5P, HSA-MIR-654-3P, HSA-MIR-744-5P and other miRNAs;

[0173] Finally, the present invention analyzed the actual clinical lung cancer data, used a training cohort to establish the model and a validation cohort to verify the results, and the results showed that the 75 screened miRNA markers could effectively and relatively accurately predict the samples, and randomly selecting 20 miRNA markers from the 75 miRNA markers could achieve better sample discrimination ability on the basis of controlling the number of miRNA markers as much as possible.

[0174] Example 1: Screening for miRNA markers of lung cancer in peripheral blood

[0175] 1.1: Study cohort and clinical information

[0176] The present invention also incorporates 96 actual Chinese clinical samples to screen miRNA markers for lung cancer in peripheral blood in clinical scenarios. The actual clinical research data includes 33 healthy people, 20 stage I lung cancer patients, 18 stage II lung cancer patients and 25 stage III patients, and all samples were collected from different hospital centers in China. Each enrolled patient was given an accurate lung cancer diagnosis based on the results of pathological examination. Among the 96 samples, they were randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort, with a total of 64 samples in the training cohort and a total of 32 samples in the validation cohort. Table 1 shows the clinical information of all enrolled samples, including gender, age, pathological diagnosis results and other related information. The analysis results show that there is no significant difference in the proportion of gender, age and pathological diagnosis between the two groups of samples.

[0178]

[0179] 1.2: Screening of miRNA markers for lung cancer

[0180] Based on actual clinical samples, the present invention uses NGS sequencing technology to construct and sequence the RNA extracted from whole blood to analyze the expression of miRNA. Based on the expression of all miRNAs, the present invention uses a two-sample t-test hypothesis test method to calculate the statistical test value for samples from lung cancer patients and samples from healthy people. The formula is as follows:

[0181]

[0182] in and are the average expression levels of the miRNA in healthy people and lung cancer patients, n healthy and n cancer are the number of samples of healthy people and lung cancer patients, s p is the mean variance of lung cancer patients and healthy people. Assume that the sample standard deviations of healthy people and lung cancer patients are s healthy and cancer ,but:

[0183]

[0184] According to the test statistic, the p value of the difference between a certain miRNA in healthy people and lung cancer population is obtained, and the miRNA markers that can distinguish healthy people from lung cancer patients are screened in turn. In the actual clinical data of this time, a total of 2611 miRNAs entered the screening algorithm of miRNA markers, and finally 75 lung cancer miRNA markers were obtained as shown in Table 2.

[0185] Table 2. Summary of lung cancer miRNA markers

[0186]

[0187]

[0188]

[0189] Example 2: Construction of miRNA marker model for lung cancer screening

[0190] Based on the data of the training cohort provided in Example 1, a support vector machine (SVM) model was used, that is, for the expression level of each miRNA marker selected from healthy and cancer samples, assuming that the interval between cancer and healthy samples is:

[0191] wx+b=0;

[0192] Where w is the normal vector, b is the bias term, and x is the vector. Based on this calculation, the division model of healthy and cancer populations is obtained:

[0193]

[0194] Where yi is the predicted value. ⅰ is a vector that can contain k variables (e.g., the expression levels of 75 miRNA markers).

[0195] Using the Leave One Out Cross Validation (LOOCV) method, 75 selected miRNA markers were used in all samples of the training cohort to finally obtain the model parameters based on the training cohort.

[0196] Based on the data of the training cohort (data of 75 miRNAs), the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was calculated and plotted. Through a comprehensive evaluation of the specificity and sensitivity values ​​of each point on the ROC curve, an appropriate value was comprehensively selected as the final judgment threshold. When the predicted value of the model is greater than or equal to the threshold, the model can be considered to have determined that the sample is a lung cancer patient; when the predicted value of the model is less than the threshold, the model can be considered to have determined that the sample is a healthy person.

[0197] In the actual clinical data of this study, a training cohort consisting of 64 samples was used. That is, the leave-one-out cross-validation method (LOOCV) and SVM model were used to calculate and plot the ROC curves at each numerical point for 75 miRNAs in the 64 samples of the training cohort ( Figure 1 ), select a suitable threshold point and calculate the area under the ROC curve (Area Under Curve, AUC value). The optimal threshold value based on the ROC curve is threshold = 0.235.

[0198] That is, when the model prediction value of a sample is greater than or equal to 0.235, it is judged as a cancer patient, otherwise, it is judged as a healthy person. Figure 1 It is calculated that under this threshold, this group of lung cancer miRNA biomarkers can predict the training cohort with a specificity of 0.955 and a sensitivity of 0.929. At the same time, the AUC value of the ROC curve is 0.965.

[0199] Example 3: Expression of lung cancer miRNA markers in clinical samples

[0200] In order to evaluate the lung cancer miRNA markers screened, the samples of the above validation cohort were selected for analysis and calculation. The threshold value of 0.235 selected in the training cohort was used to establish an SVM model for predictive evaluation of the expression levels of 75 miRNAs in the 32 validation cohorts, and its specificity and sensitivity were calculated:

[0201] Specificity = number of truly negative samples / number of truly negative samples + number of false positive samples,

[0202] Sensitivity = number of true positive samples / number of true positive samples + number of false negative samples.

[0203] The analysis results are shown in Table 3. The lung cancer miRNA markers obtained by the screening algorithm of the present invention not only have good performance in the training cohort, but also have a specificity of 0.818 (9 / 9+2) and a sensitivity of 0.714 (15 / 15+6) in the validation cohort. The evaluation and verification of actual clinical data once again proves that the lung cancer miRNA markers of the present invention are effective and accurate, and can distinguish between healthy people and sick people.

[0204] Table 3. Prediction results of the validation cohort based on the model established based on lung cancer miRNA markers

[0205]

[0206] Example 4: Performance comparison of different numbers of lung cancer miRNA markers

[0207] In the training cohort, all 2611 miRNAs were used as lung cancer miRNA markers. In the same training cohort of 64 samples, the specificity was 0.909 and the sensitivity was 0.929 (e.g. Figure 2 shown).

[0208] It can be seen that in the training cohort, the specificity and sensitivity of the 75 lung cancer miRNA markers screened out are basically equivalent to those of all 2611 miRNA markers, which can largely reflect the miRNA differences between lung cancer and healthy people, and provide a good basis for subsequent judgment.

[0209] Based on the 75 lung cancer miRNA markers screened above, this experiment used the random algorithm package in the python program and the Mersenne Twister algorithm to randomly select any 5 to 25 different numbers of miRNA markers from the 75 lung cancer miRNA markers. Similarly, the LOOCV and SVM models were used in the 64 samples of the training cohort to obtain the ROC curves under different numbers of markers and calculate the corresponding AUC values. Repeat and randomly perform this process 3000 times to obtain the AUC values ​​under different numbers of lung cancer miRNA biomarkers each time, and calculate the average and standard deviation of the 3000 repetitions (such as Figure 3 It was found that among the 75 miRNA markers, when the number of randomly selected miRNA markers reached 20, it could not only provide a basis for subsequent analysis with a relatively small number of markers, but also ensure the ability to distinguish between lung cancer and healthy people to the greatest extent possible.

[0210] In order to further illustrate the discriminative ability of 20 miRNA markers selected from 75 lung cancer miRNA markers, this experiment used the random algorithm package in the python program and the Mersenne Twister algorithm to randomly select 20 non-repeated samples and screen out the 20 miRNA markers with the highest scores for analysis. The specific miRNAs are shown in Table 4. The LOOCV and SVM models were used to finally obtain the ROC curve ( Figure 4 ), and its AUC was 0.971. Based on the evaluation of each point on the ROC, 0.480 was selected as the threshold for screening healthy people and lung cancer patients, and a prediction evaluation was performed on the validation cohort of 32 samples, and its specificity and sensitivity were calculated:

[0211] Specificity = number of truly negative samples / number of truly negative samples + number of false positive samples,

[0212] Sensitivity = number of true positive samples / number of true positive samples + number of false negative samples.

[0213] The final results showed that randomly selecting 20 of the 75 lung cancer miRNA markers, as shown in Table 5, also achieved good results of 0.818 specificity and 0.810 sensitivity in the evaluation of the validation cohort, which once again proved that these miRNA markers have good accuracy in distinguishing healthy people from lung cancer patients.
