ERBB2-Mutant Gastrointestinal Tumors Represent Heterogeneous Molecular Biology, Particularly in Microsatellite Instability, Tumor Mutation Burden, and Co-Mutated Genes: An In Silico Study
During recent years, activating mutations in ERBB2 have been reported in solid tumors of various organs, and clinical trials targeting ERBB2-mutant tumors have been conducted. However, no effective treatment has been established for gastrointestinal tumors targeting ERBB2 mutations. ERBB2-mutant tum...

description | During recent years, activating mutations in ERBB2 have been reported in solid tumors of various organs, and clinical trials targeting ERBB2-mutant tumors have been conducted. However, no effective treatment has been established for gastrointestinal tumors targeting ERBB2 mutations. ERBB2-mutant tumors have a higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) than ERBB2 non-mutant tumors, but not all ERBB2-mutant tumors are TMB- and MSI-high. Thus, a more detailed classification of ERBB2-mutant tumors based on the underlying molecular mechanisms is required. Herein, we classified ERBB2 mutations into three groups—group 1: both ERBB2 mutations and amplifications; group 2: ERBB2 mutations annotated as putative driver mutations but without amplifications; group 3: ERBB2 mutations annotated as non-driver mutations (passenger mutations or unknown significance) and those that were not amplified in gastrointestinal tumors. Esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer presented significantly higher MSI and TMB in the ERBB2-mutant group than in the ERBB2-wild-type group. The proportions of TMB- and MSI-high tumors and frequency of co-mutated downstream genes differed among the groups. We identified TMB- and MSI-high groups; this classification is considered important for guiding the selection of drugs for ERBB2-mutant tumors with downstream genetic mutations. |
