Clinicopathological characteristics of thyroid transcription factor 1-negative small cell lung cancers.

Abstract:

:Limitations in obtaining surgically resected or biopsy samples of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors make comprehensive biological analyses difficult. The loss of thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) has been associated with the aggressive behavior of non-small cell lung cancer; however, clinicopathological features of TTF-1-negative SCLC remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of TTF-1-negative SCLC. We studied the associations between the expression of TTF-1 and the clinicopathological factors associated with SCLC, including survival and expression of neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin, chromogranin A, and CD56), neuroendocrine cell-specific transcription factors (ASCL1, BRN2), a proliferation marker (Ki-67 labeling index), and an oncogene (NF1B). Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections of SCLC tumors were subjected to immunohistochemistry and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analyses. In a case-control cohort matched for basic clinical factors, expression of ProGRP, synaptophysin, chromogranin A, and ASCL1 was significantly decreased in TTF-1-negative SCLC samples. In contrast, there was no significant correlation between Ki-67 labeling index and TTF-1. In a larger serial case cohort, TTF-1-negative SCLC cases were older at diagnosis, but there was no significant difference in the overall survival of patients with TTF-1-negative and TTF-1-positive SCLC. In conclusion, TTF-1-negative SCLC showed decreased neuroendocrine differentiation, and significantly worse clinical outcomes were not observed.
