该研究共招募了18名转移性头颈鳞癌(HNSCC)、结直肠癌(CRC)以及黑色素瘤(MEL)患者(每个癌种各6人)。研究人员对HNSCC患者的血液样本和组织样本采集之后,使用RosetteSep™ Human CD45 Depletion kit进行CTCs分离,并通过EpCAM和EGFR标签对HNSCC来源的CTCs进行鉴定。基于已知的HNSCC突变基因panel[4],进行外显子组测序。Germline、FFPE、cfDNA和CTCs的RAW data测序深度分别是158倍、83倍、74倍和47倍。其中HNSCC01.1和HNSCC02.1样本属于high-input样本(cfDNA>30ng),而HNSCC03.1、HNSCC04.1和HNSCC05.1为low-input样本(cfDNA<30ng)(HNSCC06.1组织样本并没有检测到相关突变,因此没有进行组织突变与血液突变一致性的分析)。结果显示当cfDNA的总量大于30ng,cfDNA突变与组织突变检测结果的一致性更高,约为50%(图1-2)。当cfDNA总量<30ng,cfDNA中突变检出个数以及与组织突变的一致率都会降低(图3-4)。
在high-input cfDNA的HNSCC01.1和HNSCC02.1组织样本与cfDNA同时检测到的突变有ACACA、ATR、LAMA2、PIK3CA、SMARCA4;ARID1A、EYA1、INPP5D、KCNT2、NEUROD6是组织中特异性突变(图1)。研究人员认为部分突变基因从组织进入循环系统后到进行液态活检的这段时间以几何倍数扩增,从而在血液中被检测到,而在组织中无法检测。通过组织样本反向验证血液中的基因突变,结果显示组织中也能检测到的cfDNA突变有EZH2、LAMA2、PIK3CA、SMARCA4;EGFR、HFM1、KDM5B、LTBP1、MYH10是cfDNA特异性突变(图2)。这些结果表明液体活检能够用来辅助和参与检测肿瘤的相关突变。
