Abstract
Introduction
Chemotherapy is the predominant option for advanced breast cancer patients. Efficacious chemotherapeutic protocols will prevent metastasis and recurrence, thereby to increase the possibility of surgical resection and to extend survival time. Single cytotoxic agents and combination chemotherapy regimens are recommended for the treatment of patients with metastatic disease (1,2). Nowadays, the optional chemotherapy specimens included anthracycline, paclitaxol and anti-metabolism medicines (3). Collective studies supported that pemetrexed effectively prolongs survival estimation in a proportion of advanced breast cancer patients, which was an optional specimen, especially followed with anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimens (4–6). However, the biomarkers which can effectively screen out suitable patients to receive pemetexed treatment is still unclear so far (5).
As a multi-targeted anti-metabolite, pemetrexed inhibits multiple targets of folic acid metabolic pathway, especially thymidylate synthase (TYMS) and other DNA synthase in folic acid metabolism (7,8). Previous researches indicated that pemetrexed efficacy was correlated with TYMS in lung adenocarcinoma and gastric cancer (9,10). Therefore, these enzymes are promising biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of pemetrexed chemotherapy. Here in our study, we investigated the correlation between clinical efficacy of pemetrexed chemotherapy and the expression of TYMS in advanced breast cancer.
Materials and methods
Patients and pemetrexed chemotherapy
Total 77 patients with advanced breast cancer at The Second Hospital of Shandong University (Jinan, China) from 2013 to 2015 were collected in this retrospective study. Pemetrexed chemotherapy was administrated in all the patients after anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimens. The regimen plan was pemetrexed (600 mg/m2) i.v. which was administered on day 1 of each 21-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient's refusal. Dexamethasone, folic acid and vitamin B12 supplement were administered according to chemotherapy protocol. Follow-up was performed to evaluate chemotherapy response after every two cycles according to RECIST. The objective response rate (ORR) was combined proportion of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). The disease control rate (DCR) was combined proportion of CR, PR, and stable disease (SD).
Tumor specimens and tissue microarray (TMA)
The resected specimens of primary breast cancer were collected for TMAs, which were stored with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. The representative areas of tumors were selected using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining slides of each tissue. TMA sections were prepared for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining at 5 µm of thickness. The pathological characteristics of each patient were determined by experienced pathologists, including histologic grade, lymph node metastasis and expression status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of The Second Hospital of Shandong University.
IHC staining and evaluation of staining
IHC staining was performed with TMAs according to the following steps: Dewaxing with dimethylbenzene, hydration with a gradient concentration of alcohol, antigen retrieval with citrate buffer (pH 6.0), endogenous peroxidase blockage with 0.3% H2O2 solution, TYMS antibody incubation (mAb; clone TYMS106/4H4B1, 1:50 dilution; Zymed, San Francisco, CA, USA) overnight at 4°C, staining with peroxidase-conjugated avidin and 3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB), hematoxylin blue counterstain. Positive control was assigned IHC positive tissues, and control IgG was used as negative control. TMAs were blindedly evaluated by experienced pathologists. By using IHC staining, TYMS is located in both cytoplasm and nucleus of cancer cells. Both percentage and intensity of positive staining were evaluated for TYMS scores with a semi-quantitative scale (11). The intensity was evaluated into three groups: 0, no staining; 1, weak staining; and 2, strong staining. Summed scores of each tissue are ranging from 0 to 2.
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 19.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The cutoff values of TYMS IHC scores were studied with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The correlation between TYMS and other clinical characteristics, therapeutic efficiency was studied with χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. The effect of potential predictive variable was analyzed with cox proportional hazards regression model. The estimated relative risks were showed as adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
Results
Patient characteristics and pemetrexed treatment response
All the 77 patients were administrated with pemetrexed chemotherapy after anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimens as followed chemotherapy for advanced disease (Table I). The median age of the patients at diagnosis was 44 years (range 26-79 years). Approximately 54.55% of the patients were HR-positive, 9.09% were HER2-positive but HR-negative, and 36.36% were triple negative. Cancer metastasis was observed in lymph nodes (37.66%), bone (31.17%), lung (25.97%), liver (19.48%) and brain (6.49%). The median duration of pemetrexed treatment was 3.66 months (range, 1.40-5.62 months), and two patients only received three cycles of pemetrexed treatment because of disease progression and serious side-effects. Efficacy assessments showed that 3 cases had CR, 21 cases PR, 26 cases SD, and 27 cases PD. The total ORR for the patients was 31.17%, and DCR was 64.94%.
Relationship between TYMS and clinicopathological parameters
IHC staining shows that TYMS was mainly localized in cytoplasm and nucleus of the breast cancer cells (Fig. 1A). As described previously, TYMS expression was also observed in a large proportion of normal tissues, which is consistent with previous report (12). To further evaluate the correlation between TYMS and clinicopathological parameters, the patients were analyzed into two groups according TYMS scores: TYMS-high and TYMS-low. The cutoff value of TYMS score was 1.09 according to ROC curves analysis (AUC=0.768, P<0.001, 95% CI: 0.651-0.886, Fig. 1B). Totally 32 patients are in TYMS-high group, and 45 patients in TYMS-low group. No significant correlation was observed between TYMS expression and age, tumor size, expression of ER, PR and HER-2 (P>0.05 for each; Table II). However, high TYMS expression correlated with high histopathological grade and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05 for each; Table II). Notably, high TYMS expression was more common in patients with the triple-negative (TN) subtype than in those with other subtypes (P=0.036; Fig. 1C and D).
Clinical response and TYMS expression
The duration of response to pemetrexed chemotherapy in TYMS-high group was shorter than TYMS-low group (10.60 vs. 16.95 months, P<0.001; Fig. 2A). TYMS-high patients showed significant lower overall response rate (ORR) compared with TYMS-low ones (3.13 vs. 46.67%, P<0.001; Fig. 2B). TYMS-high patients also showed significant lower DCR than TYMS-low ones (40.63 vs. 82.22%, P<0.001; Fig. 2C). Notably, significantly higher TYMS scores were observed in the disease-progression patients in comparison with those responses to chemotherapy (P=0.0002; Fig. 2D).
Relationship between therapeutic outcomes and TYMS expression
Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to evaluate therapeutic outcomes of pemetrexed treated patients. As shown in Table III, elevated TYMS expression significantly correlated with poor PFS (HR, 4.775; 95% CI, 2.004-11.379, P<0.001) and OS (HR, 3.786; 95% CI, 1.734-8.265; P=0.001). Multivariate analysis also showed that high TYMS expression was a detrimental factor in DFS (HR, 4.321; 95% CI, 1.442-12.943; P=0.009), and also for OS (HR, 4.569; 95% CI, 1.657-12.595; P=0.003). Moreover, ER expression was also correlated to a better prognosis for pemetrexed treated advanced breast cancer patients in multivariate analysis (HR, 0.139; 95% CI, 0.027-0.706; P=0.017). However, HER2 expression was a detrimental factor for both DFS and OS (HR, 4.281; 95% CI, 1.222-14.996; P=0.023; HR, 5.035; 95% CI, 1.686-15.040; P=0.004).

Discussion
Pemetrexed chemotherapy was a choice for advanced breast cancer patients (13). However, only a part of patients benefit from pemetrexed chemotherapy. Our study indicated that TYMS expression correlated with high histopathological grade and lymph node metastasis. More importantly, high TYMS expression predicts therapeutic sensitivity of pemetrexed chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer, suggesting that it may be a useful biomarker to choose chemotherapy regimens.
Anthracycline- and taxane-based chemotherapy regimens is a common treatment for advanced breast cancer. As a third-line chemotherapy specimen, pemetrexed is a multitarget anti-metabolite chemotherapy drug that inhibits folate metabolism and DNA synthesis enzymes. It has been widely used in non-small cell lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer during recent years (14–16). However, variable treatment response of pemetrexed chemotherapy was observed in patients with different pathological type of tumors (17). Here in this study, 77 patients with advanced breast cancer who received pemetrexed chemotherapy were evaluated for treatment efficiency. The ORR of these patients was 31.17% and DCR was 64.94%, which were similar to the efficacy of pemetrexed combined with cyclophosphamide in the treatment of advanced breast cancer (6). A large proportion of patients suffered disease progression during pemetrexed treatment (5,17). Thus, appropriate chemotherapy options are valuable for advanced breast cancer patients.
Previous studies have shown that gene expression differences are responsible for chemotherapeutic response variability between individuals (18). Selected patients according to biomarker will improve the chemotherapy efficacy (19). TYMS participates in deoxythymidine monophosphate synthesis, which is critical for DNA synthesis and repair. Breast cancer specimens have showed increased mRNA and protein expression level of TYMS. The breast cancer with TYMS expression showed a significant aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis (20,21). Among the 77 patients in this study, the TYMS scores are variable from 0 to 2 by IHC staining, suggesting the diversity of TYMS expression in different breast cancer patients. Elevated TYMS expression is correlated with high histological grade and lymph node metastasis, rather than ER, PR and HER2 expression, which is consistent with previous report (22). Our study indicated that TYMS was involved in disease progression and treatment resistance of advanced breast cancer (23).
As a multitargeted antifolate, pemetrexed inhibits several de novo synthesis enzymes for purine and pyrimidine, including TYMS. Previous clinical and in vitro studies showed that cancer cell lines with TYMS expression showed poor sensitivity to cisplatin- and taxane-based chemotherapy regimens (24,25). Pemetrexed treatment in non-small cell lung cancer patients indicated that low TYMS mRNA expression was associated with increased ORR (26), and TYMS was an appropriate biomarker for pemetrexed chemotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer (9,10,27). Furthermore, breast cancer with elevated TYMS expression showed poor prognosis in a long-term follow-up study (10,28). Our study indicated that the expression of TYMS was correlated with treatment resistance to pemetrexed in advanced breast cancer. More importantly, significantly elevated TYMS expression was observed in the patients with resistance than those with objective response. Moreover, TYMS low expression group showed significantly higher ORR than those with high expression group. Consistent with above conclusions, our study further confirmed that TYMS is an important marker for pemetrexed chemotherapy efficacy. Previous studies suggested pemetrexed resistance correlated with membrane transport deficiency and acidic microenvironment (7,29). Further studies will be performed to verify their correlation to TYMS expression.
As a candidate option, pemetrexed chemotherapy efficacy provided a promising choice for advanced breast cancer patients (6,30). However, our study only analyzed short-term clinical efficacy of pemetrexed treatment of advanced breast cancer due to limited cases and short observation time. Moreover, it was reported that breast cancer patients with TYMS polymorphism of a 6-bp deletion within TYMS 3′-UTR would benefit from 5-FU and capecitabine chemotherapy (28,31–33). Further studies will be employed to analyze the long-term efficacy and gene sequencing in the future, which will provide a firm evidence for best chemotherapy options by detecting TYMS expression levels.
In conclusion, TYMS expression levels predicts therapeutic sensitivity of pemetrexed chemotherapy in advanced breast cancer. The breast cancer cells with high TYMS expression are more likely resistant to pemetrexed chemotherapy. These patients should be excluded from pemetrexed chemotherapy candidate.
