Abstract

The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement defines a distinct molecular subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the excellent initial efficacy of ALK inhibitors in patients with ALK+ lung cancer, resistance occurs almost inevitably. To date, there is no reliable biomarker allowing the identification of patients at higher risk of relapse. Here, we analysed a subset of 53 ALK+ tumors with and without TP53 mutation and ALK+ NSCLC cell lines by NanoString nCounter technology. We found that the co-occurrence of early TP53 mutations in ALK+ NSCLC can lead to chromosomal instability: 24% of TP53-mutated patients showed amplifications of known cancer genes such as MYC (14%), CCND1 (10%), TERT (5%), BIRC2 (5%), ORAOV1 (5%), and YAP1 (5%). MYC-overexpressing ALK+ TP53-mutated cells had a proliferative advantage compared to wild-type cells. ChIP-Seq data revealed MYC-binding sites within the promoter region of EML4, and MYC overexpression in ALK+ TP53-mutated cells resulted in an upregulation of EML4-ALK, indicating a potential MYC-dependent resistance mechanism in patients with increased MYC copy number. Our study reveals that ALK+ NSCLC represents a more heterogeneous subgroup of tumors than initially thought, and that TP53 mutations in that particular cancer type define a subset of tumors that harbour chromosomal instability, leading to the co-occurrence of pathogenic aberrations.
