BACKGROUND: Treatment options for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCC) are limited in chemotherapy. However, not all patients could benefit form standard platinum regimen. Considering the dismal prognosis of patients with advanced SCC, a greater focus on selecting sensitive chemotherapy regimens remains of upmost importance to improve outcomes in this disease. In this study, we used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry to detect pre-chemotherapy serum peptides in advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma patients acceptingpaclitaxel combined with platinum chemotherapy and to analyze the correlation between serum peptides and chemotherapy efficacy. METHODS:Patients with advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma received paclitaxel combining with platinum chemotherapy and evaluated the efficacy every two cycles. Evaluation of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) patients defined as sensitive group, progressive disease (PD) patients defined as resistant group. Serum samples were collected from patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma. Eighty-one patients were randomly divided into training group (sensitive group I and resistant group I) and validation group (sensitive group II and resistant group II) according to the ratio of 3:1. Serum samples were pretreated and Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to detect serum peptide fingerprints. ClinProTools software was used to analyze the differences between the sensitive group I and the resistant group I. Three kinds of biological algorithms (SNN, GA, QC) built in CPT software were used to establish the curative effect prediction model respectively and the optimal algorithm was selected. The validation group was used for blind verification. RESULTS:Thirty sensitive patients and 31 resistant patients were enrolled in the training group. Ten sensitive patients and 10 resistant patients were included in the validation group. The training group had 96 differentially expressed peptides in the sensitive and resistant patients, with 16 statistically significant peptides (P<0.001). The predictive model was established by 5 polypeptides (1,897.75 Da, 2,023.93 Da, 3,683.36 Da, 4,269.56 Da, 5,341.29 Da). The recognition rate of this model was 89.18% and the cross validation rate was 95.11%. The accuracy of the model was 85%, the sensitivity was 90.0% and the specificity was 80.0%. The median PFS in the sensitive group was better than patients in the resistant group (7.2 months 95%CI: 4.4-14.5 vs 1.8 months 95%CI: 0.7-3.5). The results showed that the differential peptides 4,232.04 Da and 4,269.56 Da were correlated with PFS in patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: MALDI-TOF-MS was used to detect the difference of serum peptides between sensitive and resistant groups. The preliminary curative effect prediction model was used to predict the efficacy of paclitaxel combined with platinum regimen. However, this model need further investigations to verify the accuracy and the sensitivity.

肺癌(lung cancer)目前是临床上最常见的恶性肿瘤。其中80%为非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC),最常见的病理类型包括:肺鳞癌(squamous cell carcinoma of lung, SCC)与肺腺癌(adenocarcinoma of lung)[。尽管抗血管生成治疗、免疫治疗、靶向治疗等已被食品药品监督管理局(Food and Drug Administration, FDA)批准为晚期SCC患者的二线或多线治疗手段。晚期SCC的临床治疗仍停留在以传统化疗为主的阶段,铂二联方案化疗依然是晚期SCC患者主要的一线治疗手段[。但是对于不同SCC患者,其化疗疗效却不相同。近年来虽然进行了多项针对单基因标志物如ERCC1、RRM1、TUBB3及XRCC1的研究,并初步显示出一定意义,但在进一步扩大样本验证的随机对照Ⅲ期临床研究中均未能有效预测疗效[。所以迄今为止无一标志物可用于指导临床化疗药物的选择。因此临床上亟需一种可以更有效预测SCC化疗疗效的方法。质谱检测蛋白质组学研究已广泛应用于肿瘤学的各个领域[,既往研究发现化疗药物耐药性及药物代谢酶多态性可导致不同的患者对于化疗药物的获益不同。因此本研究应用MALDI-TOF-MS技术从蛋白质及多肽等更微观的角度了解初治晚期SCC患者化疗前血清多肽与化疗疗效的关系,期望为实现晚期SCC患者的个体化化疗奠定基础。
