Lung Cancer Cheat Sheet Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

One Minute Pitch

Lung tumors are highly hetero­gen­eous, with great variab­ility between individual patients, cancer types, and stages, as well as intra-­tumor hetero­gen­eity. This variab­ility poses a consid­erable challenge in identi­fying and validating clinically relevant lung cancer biomar­kers. Theref­ore­, s­pat­ial­ly-­mapped gene expression at the cellular level is crucial to understand the cell-t­o-cell intera­ctions in the tumor and the cellular makeup within the complex tumor microe­nvi­ronment (TME).

Key Selling Point

Assessment of predictive markers for lung cancer
When antibodies are not available e.g. ARNTL2
Charac­ter­ization of secreted proteins
Validation of transc­riptome data
Detection of lncRNAs in lung cancer - e.g. LINC00473 could be used as a surrogate biomarker for LKB1 in lung cancer samples.
Detection of lncRNAs in lung cancer - ACD60 NSCLC lncRNA study
Detection of immune cell checkpoint and functional lung cancer biomarkers in the TME - ACD 60 NSCLC immuno­-on­cology study

Special Case: MET-delta 14 in lung cancer

Nearly all of the MET exon 14 mutations described to date cause skipping of MET exon 14 during pre-mRNA splicing.
Skipping of exon 14 in the MET gene results in impaired c-Met receptor degrad­ation, consti­tutive activation of the MET receptor, and oncogenic transf­orm­ation of MET.
This variant, referred to as METΔ14, is a gain-o­f-f­unction phenotype that can respond positively to some therap­eutics and is present in a variety of cancer types, partic­ularly lung cancer, where it is present in approx­imately 3% of non-small cell lung carcinoma cases.
Detection of altera­tions in MET exon 14 could aid in identi­fying patients likely to benefit from MET inhibi­tors. The BaseScope assay for exon junction detection is the solution here.
