研究概要

我们开发并验证了一个框架(CMS-ML),用于在 LGG 中发现与特定分子改变、免疫微环境、预后和治疗反应相关的 CMS。

研究思路结论见上方概要

低级别胶质瘤(LGG)在临床、组织学和分子标准上具有异质性。我们旨在通过开发和验证稳健的细胞形态学亚型(CMS)来个体化LGG患者的诊断和治疗,并揭示这些亚型背后的分子特征。

细胞形态计量生物标志物(CMBs)通过人工智能技术从TCGA-LGG队列中识别。共识聚类用于定义CMS。进行生存分析以评估CMBs和CMS的临床影响。构建列线图以预测LGG患者的3年和5年总生存期(OS)。使用Mann-Whitney U检验分析亚型之间的肿瘤突变负荷(TMB)和免疫细胞浸润。使用免疫组织化学(IHC)对重要的免疫治疗相关生物标志物进行双盲验证。

我们开发了一个机器学习(ML)流程,从组织组织学的全切片图像中提取CMBs;在多中心队列中识别并外部验证LGG的稳健CMS。这些亚型在所有三个独立队列中具有独立的预测OS。在TCGA-LGG队列中,预后不良亚型内的患者对主要治疗和后续治疗反应不佳。预后不良亚型内的LGG以高突变负荷、高频率的拷贝数改变以及高水平的TIL(肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞)和免疫检查点基因为特征。通过IHC染色确认了更高水平的PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4。此外,从LGG学到的亚型展示了对胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)的转化影响。

Lower-grade gliomas (LGG) are heterogeneous diseases by clinical, histological, and molecular criteria. We aimed to personalize the diagnosis and therapy of LGG patients by developing and validating robust cellular morphometric subtypes (CMS) and to uncover the molecular signatures underlying these subtypes.

Cellular morphometric biomarkers (CMBs) were identified with artificial intelligence technique from TCGA-LGG cohort. Consensus clustering was used to define CMS. Survival analysis was performed to assess the clinical impact of CMBs and CMS. A nomogram was constructed to predict 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) of LGG patients. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) and immune cell infiltration between subtypes were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The double-blinded validation for important immunotherapy-related biomarkers was executed using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

We developed a machine learning (ML) pipeline to extract CMBs from whole-slide images of tissue histology; identifying and externally validating robust CMS of LGGs in multicenter cohorts. The subtypes had independent predicted OS across all three independent cohorts. In the TCGA-LGG cohort, patients within the poor-prognosis subtype responded poorly to primary and follow-up therapies. LGGs within the poor-prognosis subtype were characterized by high mutational burden, high frequencies of copy number alterations, and high levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and immune checkpoint genes. Higher levels of PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 were confirmed by IHC staining. In addition, the subtypes learned from LGG demonstrate translational impact on glioblastoma (GBM).

We developed and validated a framework (CMS-ML) for CMS discovery in LGG associated with specific molecular alterations, immune microenvironment, prognosis, and treatment response.
