Impact of RBM10 and PD-L1 expression on the prognosis of pathologic N1–N2 epidermal growth factor receptor mutant lung adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND: Impact of RNA-binding motif protein 10 (RBM10) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the postoperative prognosis of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutation (EGFR-Mt) lung adenocarcinoma with pathological lymph node metastasis is still unclear. METHODS: Patients wh...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Impact of RNA-binding motif protein 10 (RBM10) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the postoperative prognosis of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutation (EGFR-Mt) lung adenocarcinoma with pathological lymph node metastasis is still unclear. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative surgery for pN1–N2 EGFR-Mt lung adenocarcinoma (n=129) harboring the EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation (Ex19) (n=66) or EGFR exon 21 L858R mutation (Ex21) (n=63) between January 2010 and December 2020 were included in this retrospective study. The prognoses of patients with low/high cytoplasmic RBM10 expression and PD-L1 negativity/positivity based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) of resected specimens were compared using the log-rank test. The effects of RBM10 and PD-L1 expression on overall survival (OS) were examined via multivariable analysis using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The effects of RBM10 and PD-L1 expression on progression-free survival (PFS) of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy among patients with recurrent pN1–N2 EGFR-Mt lung adenocarcinoma (n=67) were examined using log-rank tests. RESULTS: The RBM10 low expression group showed significantly better 5-year OS than the RBM10 high expression group (89.4% vs. 71.5%, P=0.020), and the PD-L1 negative group tended to have longer 5-year OS than the PD-L1 positive group (86.4% vs. 68.4%, P=0.050). Multivariable analysis showed that high RBM10 expression [hazard ratio (HR), 3.12; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19–8.17; P=0.021] and PD-L1 positivity (HR, 3.80; 95% CI: 1.64–8.84; P=0.002) were independent poor prognostic factors for OS. PFS of patients with relapse and first-line EGFR-TKI treatment was significantly better in the PD-L1-negative group than in the PD-L1-positive group (34.5 vs. 12.1 months, P=0.045). PFS of patients with Ex21 relapse and first-line EGFR-TKI treatment was significantly better in the RBM10 low expression group than in the RBM10 high expression group (25.5 vs. 13.0 months, P=0.025). CONCLUSIONS: High RBM10 expression and PD-L1 positivity are poor prognostic factors for OS in patients with pN1–N2 EGFR-Mt lung adenocarcinoma after curative surgery. In patients with recurrent pN1–N2 EGFR-Mt lung adenocarcinoma, PD-L1 and RBM10 expression may influence response to EGFR-TKIs. |
