CT-Scan-Assessed Body Composition and Its Association with Tumor Protein Expression in Endometrial Cancer: The Role of Muscle and Adiposity Quantities
2024
Overview
Background: Endometrial cancer is strongly associated with obesity, and tumors often harbor mutations in major cancer signaling pathways. To inform the integration of body composition into targeted therapy paradigms, this hypothesis-generating study explores the association between muscle mass, body fat, and tumor proteomics. Methods: We analyzed data from 113 patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Cancer Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) cohorts and their corresponding abdominal CT scans. Among these patients, tumor proteomics data were available for 45 patients, and 133 proteins were analyzed. Adiposity and muscle components were assessed at the L3 vertebral level on the CT scans. Patients were stratified into tertiles of muscle and fat mass and categorized into three groups: high muscle/low adiposity, high muscle/high adiposity, and low muscle/all adiposities. Linear and Cox regression models were adjusted for study cohort, stage, histology type, age, race, and ethnicity. Results: Compared with the high-muscle/low-adiposity group, both the high-muscle/high-adiposity (HR = 4.3, 95% CI = 1.0–29.0) and low-muscle (HR = 4.4, 95% CI = 1.3–14.9) groups experienced higher mortality. Low muscle was associated with higher expression of phospho-4EBP1(T37 and S65), phospho-GYS(S641) and phospho-MAPK(T202/Y204) but lower expression of ARID1A, CHK2, SYK, LCK, EEF2, CYCLIN B1, and FOXO3A. High muscle/high adiposity was associated with higher expression of phospho-4EBP1 (T37), phospho-GYS (S641), CHK1, PEA15, SMAD3, BAX, DJ1, GYS, PKM2, COMPLEX II Subunit 30, and phospho-P70S6K (T389) but with lower expression of CHK2, CRAF, MSH6, TUBERIN, PR, ERK2, beta-CATENIN, AKT, and S6. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate an association between body composition and proteins involved in key cancer signaling pathways, notably the PI3K/AKT/MTOR, MAPK/ERK, cell cycle regulation, DNA damage response, and mismatch repair pathways. These findings warrant further validation and assessment in relation to prognosis and outcomes in these patients.
