Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of multiplex immunohistochemistry, and particularly relates to a multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry detection panel for rare lung tumors, a detection kit and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past 30 years, the incidence and mortality of respiratory tract cancers have been rising globally, especially tracheal, bronchial and lung cancers, and respiratory tract cancers have the trend of becoming the first cancer. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung, as one of the rare lung tumors, has an incidence of only 0.04% to 0.2% of lung tumors. It occurs in the trachea or carina, and large bronchus. It grows along the wall of the tube, can invade the surrounding tissues and organs, and block the bronchial lumen, causing chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and even hemoptysis, which greatly affects the quality of life. Unlike common lung cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma has a wide age range, mostly concentrated in young adults, and children can also be affected. At present, due to its rarity, the disease is relatively difficult to diagnose, and the treatment methods are relatively single, such as surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, surgical resection is prone to recurrence, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy methods cannot effectively improve the survival time of patients, so immunological checkpoints, ADC drugs and CAR-T related treatment methods have entered the field of vision and are increasingly valued.

[0003] The treatment of lung cancer has gradually moved from the era of chemotherapy to the era of targeted therapy, and then to the era of Check-point inhibitors. However, small cell lung cancer, as a rare tumor accounting for less than 10% of lung cancer, has no standard treatment options after the second line, so immunotherapy may be a promising and challenging new method in clinical practice. A large number of clinical trials are exploring the clinical value of immune inhibitors in the treatment of small cell lung cancer patients. Clinical trials have confirmed that the efficacy of immunotherapy is not inferior to that of non-standard chemotherapy regimens, but there is no definite data to confirm the clinical benefit of adding immunotherapy to standard chemotherapy regimens, while increasing the incidence of adverse events and treatment-related mortality. Under the condition of a small number of patients enrolled in the trial, a number of patients have died, prompting deep thinking about the method of immunotherapy.

[0004] The efficacy of SCLC immunotherapy is lower than that of other malignant tumors. On the one hand, it may be due to the high malignancy and strong tumor heterogeneity of SCLC, and there may be other special immune therapy targets in the tumor cells that have not been discovered yet. On the other hand, SCLC has a short doubling time and progresses rapidly, while immune therapy takes a relatively long time to take effect. By the time the immune therapy has reached its maximum benefit, SCLC may have progressed and metastasized. Therefore, it is necessary to find better biomarkers, such as MET, EGFR, etc., to guide clinical treatment, and to expect that the field of SCLC treatment will soon open a new chapter.

[0005] In addition, immune checkpoint inhibitors relieve the inhibition of T cell activity by blocking the interaction of immune checkpoint molecules with ligands, enhancing T cell-mediated anti-tumor immune response. Related therapies have achieved great success in lung cancer treatment, and are also an opportunity for more targets to enter immunotherapy. However, the existing immunohistochemical techniques for detecting lung cancer, such as those in Chinese patents CN201910032641.8 and CN202311150519.3, have defects such as single immune microenvironment or single drug-related target, and the utilization rate of multiple immunohistochemical channels is a great waste.

[0031] Beneficial effects: the present application provides a multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemical detection panel for rare tumors in the lung, which simultaneously involves six tumor cell-related target proteins (ROS1, HER2, HER3, ALK, MET, EGFR). The present application uses the multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemical (mIHC) detection method and its kit for lung cancer, especially the simultaneous detection of multiple drug-related target proteins (ROS1, HER2, HER3, ALK, MET, EGFR) in rare subtypes of lung cancer, such as lung adenoid cystic carcinoma and small cell lung cancer, and combines the advantages of "multi-channel + drug-related target + rare lung cancer application", which provides a reliable basis for targeted treatment of lung cancer.

[0032] The ROS1, HER2, HER3, ALK, MET, EGFR protein target multiplex immunohistochemical detection is carried out on a single slice, the sample quantity is saved while the spatial position information of each protein target is increased; the multiplex immunohistochemical advantage is that arbitrary two targets can be recognized in the same cell co-localization positive, part of ALK positive cells exist in the position of EGFR positive, and the two do not completely coincide, so that the sample slice quantity is saved while the detection target flux is increased. The six protein targets are realized multiplex fluorescence staining of complex structure rare lung cancer samples in a specific staining order and fluorescence channel matching, false positives caused by staining crosstalk of each channel are prevented; the high sensitivity and strong specificity of the biotin-streptavidin system make up for the defects of the conventional 780 near-infrared spectrum channel which is weak and prone to false negatives, and realize the improvement of more than 10 times fluorescence intensity of conventional staining. The biotin-streptavidin system can complete the detection of complex structure samples such as lung adenoid cystic carcinoma and small cell lung cancer which need high signal-to-noise ratio and signal amplification, by virtue of its high sensitivity and strong specificity.

[0033] The targets detected in the detection Panel of the application have associated drugs on the market or in the clinical stage, such as EGFR overexpression corresponding drugs (cetuximab, necitumumab), ALK / ROS1 rearrangement and overexpression can use corresponding ALK / ROS1 inhibitors (such as crizotinib, lorlatinib), MET amplification / overexpression can use corresponding MET inhibitors (such as capmatinib, tepotinib), and HER2 / HER3 abnormalities may indicate that HER family targeted drugs (such as ADC drug dacetuzumab or TKI class drugs) can be used. The multiplex detection method used in the application can detect six drug-related targets at a time, and the detection results reflect the expression amount of the related targets in the sample, which can be used as a reference for clinical drug use. Unlike the prior art which detects only a single immune microenvironment or a single drug-related target, the actual utilization rate of the Panel channel is increased, which provides the possibility for the majority of patients to benefit more practically.
