ALK重排的肺腺鳞癌长期靶向治疗中SMARCA4 缺失获得性演变1 例并文献复习

Acquired SMARCA4 deficiency during long-term targeted therapy in ALK-rearranged pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma: A case report and literature review

  • 摘要: 非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)的精准治疗依赖于精准的分子分型。随着基因检测技术的发展进步和对肿瘤相关通路研究的深入,更多的与NSCLC治疗相关的基因及位点被发现。本文报道一例NSCLC病例,性别男,初诊年龄:46 岁。二代测序检测发现两种非常少见的共突变,间变性淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK)重排伴SWI/SNF 相关、基质相关、肌动蛋白依赖的染色质调节因子亚家族A成员4(SWI/SNF Related,Matrix Associated,Actin Dependent Regulator Of Chromatin,Subfamily A,Member 4,SMARCA4)缺失。患者自2018 年于我院就诊至最后一次随访结束已7 年有余,7 年靶向治疗过程中,患者病理形态由腺癌转变为腺鳞癌;基因检测结果显示最初即出现EML4(echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4,EML4)-ALK融合,于6 年后新增SMARCA4 突变。这提示了长期靶向治疗背景下肿瘤可能通过表观遗传调控基因缺失实现免疫逃逸和组织学转化的机制。

     

    Abstract: Precision therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) relies on accurate molecular subtyping. Driven by advances in genetic testing technologies and in-depth research on tumor-associated signaling pathways, an increasing number of genes and loci relevant to NSCLC treatment have been identified. Herein, we report a male NSCLC patient initially diagnosed at the age of 46 years. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed two rare concurrent mutations: anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement combined with SMARCA4 deletion. The patient has been followed up for more than seven years since first presenting to our hospital in 2018. During 7 years of targeted therapy, the pathological subtype of the tumor transformed from adenocarcinoma to adenosquamous carcinoma. EML4-ALK fusion was detected on the initial genetic assay, and a de novo SMARCA4 (SWI/SNF Related, Matrix Associated, Actin Dependent Regulator Of Chromatin, Subfamily A, Member 4) mutation emerged 6 years later. These findings suggest that under long-term targeted treatment pressure, tumors may acquire immune evasion and undergo histological transformation via epigenetically regulated gene deletion.
