High Frequency of PIK3CA Mutations in Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinomas of Japanese Patients
The frequency of KRAS/BRAF mutations associated with low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSC)/serous borderline tumors (SBTs) in Japan is unknown. We aimed to identify genetic variations in KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and ERBB2 in LGSC/SBT/serous cystadenomas (SCAs) in a Japanese population. We performed a...

description | The frequency of KRAS/BRAF mutations associated with low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSC)/serous borderline tumors (SBTs) in Japan is unknown. We aimed to identify genetic variations in KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and ERBB2 in LGSC/SBT/serous cystadenomas (SCAs) in a Japanese population. We performed a mutation analysis (by Sanger sequencing) of 33 cases of LGSC/SBT/SCA and 4 cases of LGSC with synchronous SBTs using microdissected paraffin-embedded sections. Immunohistochemistry of p53 and ARID1A was also performed. The frequency of oncogenic mutations in PIK3CA was 60.0% (6/10) in LGSCs, 63.6% (7/11) in SBTs, and 8.3% (1/12) in SCAs. All cases harbored wild-type KRAS. The frequency of BRAF mutations was 20.0% (2/10) in LGSCs, whereas all SBTs and SCAs harbored the wild-type allele. The frequency of ERBB2 mutations was 30.0% (3/10) in LGSCs, 0.0% (0/11) in SBTs, and 16.7% (2/12) in SCAs. ARID1A staining was positive in all cases. p53 staining was positive in 0% (0/10) LGSCs, 9.1% (1/11) SBTs, and 0.0% (0/12) SCAs. One LGSC case had two PIK3CA mutations (G1633A and G3149A) in both LGSC and SBT lesions, but a BRAF mutation was detected only in an LGSC lesion. These results suggest that, compared with the values in Western populations (16–54%), the KRAS mutation frequency in LGSCs/SBTs is lower and that of PIK3CA mutations in LGSCs/SBTs is much higher in Japanese populations. Therefore, the main carcinogenesis signaling pathways may be different between Japanese and Western LGSCs. Molecular therapies targeting the PIK3CA/AKT pathway may be effective in LGSCs in Japan. |
