Because of the 8% cancer risk, many vulvar HSIL patients undergo aggressive and mutilating treatments. Characterizing HSIL by their progression risk can help individualize treatment strategies. Accordingly, copy number alterations (CNAs) and DNA methylation have been identified as biomarkers for cancer risk stratification of HSIL. Here, we assessed their potential correlation, and relation to HPV16 (sub)lineages and progression to vulvar cancer. Eighty-two vulvar formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, including controls, HSIL, HSIL adjacent to VSCC and VSCC, with previously determined DNA methylation profiles, were analysed for CNAs using mFAST-SeqS. Genome-wide z-scores were calculated to determine overall aneuploidy (aneuploidy scores), and compared to the methylation levels and status of marker panel ZNF582/SST/miR124-2. For 52 HPV16-positive cases, HPV (sub)lineages were determined by Sanger sequencing. HPV16 lineage A was predominant (86.4%), followed equally by lineages B, C, and D. Frequent chromosomal alterations included chr1pq, chr3q, chr9q gains, and chr2q, chr4q losses. Median aneuploidy scores increased across disease categories, from 0 in controls, to 3 in HSIL, 16 in HSIL adjacent to VSCC and 29 in VSCC. A positive relationship between aneuploidy scores and DNA methylation levels was found (ρ = 0.61, Spearman's rank correlation test). Aneuploidy scores were significantly higher in methylation-positive samples (p < .001).

Thus, CA9 has been proposed as a theranostic target for radioligand therapy (RLT). However, ccRCC tends to be radioresistant and may not effectively respond to RLT. Alternatively, CA9 can be targeted for near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) of ccRCC. Here, we sought to test NIR-PIT using CA9 in a preclinical model of ccRCC to determine its potential as a therapeutic strategy. Tissue microarray analysis showed that membrane CA9 was expressed in the majority of ccRCC cases. In vitro, CA9-targeted NIR-PIT induced cell membrane damage and cell killing in all CA9-expressing ccRCC cell lines specifically, UOK154, UOK220, and UOK122. In vivo, CA9-targeted NIR-PIT significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival in UOK154 and UOK220 subcutaneous xenograft models. Notably, 70%-80% of mice achieved complete remission after a single treatment of NIR-PIT. Additionally, remaining tumors after the first NIR-PIT persistently expressed CA9, suggesting that remaining tumors can be treated with repeated NIR-PIT. Furthermore, CA9-targeted NIR-PIT induced significant cytoplasmic damages on ccRCC cells in UOK154 orthotopic xenograft models. In conclusion, CA9-targeted NIR-PIT, which allow for safe and repeated application on the same lesion, is a promising treatment for ccRCC, especially in the management of multiple primary ccRCC (e.g., von Hippel-Lindau syndrome) and oligometastatic ccRCC.</p>","PeriodicalId":180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143397552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
