Molecular characteristics of gastric cancer with ERBB2 amplification

Gastric cancer is a prevalent malignancy with a high degree of heterogeneity, which has led to a poor therapeutic response. Though there are numerous HER2-targeted medicines for HER2+ gastric cancer, many trials have not indicated an improvement in overall survival. Here 29 ERBB2 amplification (ERBB...

description Gastric cancer is a prevalent malignancy with a high degree of heterogeneity, which has led to a poor therapeutic response. Though there are numerous HER2-targeted medicines for HER2+ gastric cancer, many trials have not indicated an improvement in overall survival. Here 29 ERBB2 amplification (ERBB2-Amp) type gastric cancer samples with WES and RNA-seq data were selected for investigation, which copy-number aberration (CNA) was +2. Initially, the somatic mutation and copy number variant (CNV) of them, which might cause resistance to HER2-targeted therapies, were systematically investigated evaluated, as well as their mutation signatures. Moreover, 37 modules were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), including the blue module related to DFS status and lightcyan module correlated with ARHGAP26_ARHGAP6_CLDN18 rearrangement. In addition, focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction pathways were considerably enriched in the turquoise module with ERBB2 gene. ExportNetworkToCytoscape determined that MIEN1 and GRB7 are tightly connected to ERBB2., Finally, 14 single-cell intestinal gastric cancer samples were investigated, and it was shown that the TFAP2A transcription factor regulon was highly expressed in ERBB2high group, as was the EMT score. Overall, our data provide comprehensive molecular characteristics of ERBB2-Amp type gastric cancer, which offers additional information to improve HER2-targeted gastric cancer treatment.
