Detection of activated K-ras in non-small cell lung cancer by membrane array: a comparison with direct sequencing.

Abstract:

:The ability to detect K-ras oncogene may provide additional information for the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study, we detected the K-ras oncogene in 76 patients with NSCLC by two methods: direct sequencing of K-ras in tumor tissues and membrane array detection of the gene overexpression specific for activated K-ras in peripheral blood. The results showed that 28 (36.8%) of the 76 Taiwanese NSCLC patients had K-ras mutations, with a frequency of 36.4% (20/55) in adenocarcinomas and 38.1% (8/21) in squamous cell carcinomas. The K-ras mutations were more frequently found in smokers than in non-smokers (51.4 vs. 24.4%, P=0.015). The incidences of K-ras mutation in the subgroups of non-smokers and squamous cell carcinomas are relatively higher in Taiwan than in other countries. On the other hand, the membrane array method could positively detect circulating activated K-ras in all of the 27 NSCLC patients with K-ras mutations at codons 12, 13 and 61, and in 4 of the 48 patients with wild-type K-ras. Our results suggest that the K-ras oncogene membrane array serves as a sensitive and convenient tool for the detection of K-ras oncogene, and therefore, has a great potential for clinical applications.
