Association of tumour mutation burden with prognosis and its clinical significance in stage III gastric cancer

Introduction: To explore the correlation between the tumour mutation burden (TMB) and prognosis and its clinical significance among patients with stage III gastric cancer (GC). Methods: Patients with stage III GC were divided into a high TMB and low TMB group in both a study cohort of 38 patients a...

description Introduction: To explore the correlation between the tumour mutation burden (TMB) and prognosis and its clinical significance among patients with stage III gastric cancer (GC). Methods: Patients with stage III GC were divided into a high TMB and low TMB group in both a study cohort of 38 patients and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort of 173 patients. In the study cohort, next-generation sequencing was used to detect mutated GC genes and obtain TMB data. In the TCGA cohort, gene set enrichment analysis was performed, and the relationship between TMB, prognosis and clinicopathologic factors was analysed. Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the expression levels of both proteins and genes. Cell viability was measured using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium and transwell cell assays. Results: Patients in the high TMB group had better overall survival (OS) rates than patients in the low TMB group for both cohorts and TMB was associated with age, mutation signature 1 and mutation signature 17. The Cox regression analysis revealed that age, not TMB, was an independent prognosis factor. Furthermore, genes with high-frequency mutations were significantly enriched in the RTK-RAS and Notch signalling pathways. The activation of these pathways was lower in the high TMB compared with the low TMB group, and the proliferation and migration abilities of GC cells showed a similar pattern in both TMB groups. Conclusion: Patients in the high TMB group had better OS rates than patients in the low TMB group. Genes with high-frequency mutations were significantly enriched in the RTK-RAS and Notch pathways. Hence, TMB could serve as a prognosis biomarker with potential clinical significance.
