The analysis included 179 patients with stage 3 and stage 4 cutaneous melanoma with known BRAF/NRAS mutational status. The paraffin blocks were forwarded from four Dalmatian hospitals (Split: 139 cases, Zadar: 17 cases, Šibenik: 13 cases, Dubrovnik: 10 cases). BRAF/NRAS mutation analysis was performed at the Institute of Pathology, Clinical Hospital Center Split, Croatia, in the period from the second half of 2017 to the end of 2022. For DNA extraction analysis, hematoxylin and eosin stained slides from each submitted sample were reviewed by a pathologist, and tumor tissue was identified for analysis. For all tissue specimens, DNA was extracted from sections (10 mm thick) using the cobas® DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Roche Molecular Diagnostics), following the manufacturer's protocol. The amount of genomic DNA was quantified using the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer (Life Technologies) and adjusted to a fixed concentration to be added to the amplification/detection mixture. For mutation analysis, the target DNA was amplified and detected on the cobas z 480 analyzer using the amplification and detection reagents provided in the Roche BRAF/NRAS mutation test (LSR) kit, according to the manufacturer's protocol. The test results were reported as follows: BRAF exon 11 mutation detected, BRAF V600E/E2/D mutation detected, BRAF V600K mutation detected, BRAF V600R mutation detected, BRAF K601E mutation detected, NRAS (G12X, G13X, A18T, Q61X, other NRAS Ex3/4) mutation detected, mutation not detected, or invalid result (no result was obtained on the cobas test). BRAF mutation was observed in 87 patients (48.6%), NRAS mutation was found in 27 patients (15.1%), while 65 patients (36.3%) were without BRAF/NRAS mutation (Table 1). In the group of BRAF mutated melanomas, 61 cases (70.1%) had V600E/E2/D mutation, 20 cases (23%) had V600K mutation, 3 cases (3.4%) had exon 11 mutation, 2 cases (2.3%) had V600R mutation, and 1 case (1.2%) had K601E mutation (Table 2). The observed frequency of BRAF mutated melanomas in this study was similar to the frequency reported in our previous study (48.6% and 47.5%, respectively) (3). The vast majority were BRAF V600 mutations, while BRAF non-V600 mutations were rare (95.4% and 4.6%, respectively). In the group of BRAF V600 mutations, V600E/E2/D mutations predominated, followed by V600K mutations, while V600R mutations were rare. Greaves et al. reported similar frequency of BRAF V600 mutations in a group of 499 BRAF-mutated cutaneous melanomas, with V600E/E2/D mutations observed in 77.2% cases, followed by V600K mutations observed in 17.2% cases, and V600R mutations observed in 2.6% cases (4).

摘要

然而,不同的I类BRAF突变对靶向治疗的敏感性是不同的。关于 BRAF/MEK 联合抑制的大型随机对照试验显示,对于最常见的 V600E 和 V600K 突变的黑色素瘤,总体反应良好(63%-68%),无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)也有所改善,而 Menzer 等人的研究则显示,在 BRAF V600 突变(V600E/K 除外)的转移性黑色素瘤组中,MAPK 通路抑制的反应率较低(45%)。同一组 BRAF 非 V600 突变(II 类和 III 类突变)的黑色素瘤对 MAPK 通路抑制的总体反应率仅为 18%(7)。在我们这组BRAF突变的皮肤转移性黑色素瘤中,我们发现只有6例(6.9%)对MAPK通路抑制剂的反应率预期较低:2例为V600R突变(I类非V600E/K突变),1例为K601E突变(II类突变),3例为外显子11突变(II类和III类突变)。

Spectrum and Frequency of BRAF Mutations in Skin Melanomas in the Dalmatian Region of Croatia.

Mutation of the BRAF oncogene is one of the most common mutations detected in human neoplasia, occurring in 40-60% of all cutaneous melanoma. BRAF is a serine/threonine protein kinase which is an essential part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. It is physiologically activated by RAS, but in mutated form, due to molecular conformational change, BRAF becomes constitutively active with subsequent persistent activation of downstream cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins (MEK, ERK, ETS), which finally leads to gene expression that promotes cell growth and survival. Inhibition of the altered MAPK pathway by BRAF inhibitors and combined BRAF/MEK inhibitors in BRAF mutated melanoma has become a standard therapeutic approach (1,2). We recently reported the frequency and clinicopathological features of BRAF V600E mutated melanomas in the Dalmatian region of Croatia. This report included 80 cutaneous melanomas with BRAF analyses performed at our institution until the second half of 2017, using a kit which detected only BRAF V600E mutation (3). From the second half of 2017, we started using a kit which detects several types of BRAF mutations along with NRAS mutation. The aim of this report was to determine the spectrum and frequency of different BRAF mutations in a group of skin melanomas in the Dalmatian region of Croatia and to comment on the relationship between type of BRAF mutation and therapeutic response to MAPK pathway inhibition. The analysis included 179 patients with stage 3 and stage 4 cutaneous melanoma with known BRAF/NRAS mutational status. The paraffin blocks were forwarded from four Dalmatian hospitals (Split: 139 cases, Zadar: 17 cases, Šibenik: 13 cases, Dubrovnik: 10 cases). BRAF/NRAS mutation analysis was performed at the Institute of Pathology, Clinical Hospital Center Split, Croatia, in the period from the second half of 2017 to the end of 2022. For DNA extraction analysis, hematoxylin and eosin stained slides from each submitted sample were reviewed by a pathologist, and tumor tissue was identified for analysis. For all tissue specimens, DNA was extracted from sections (10 mm thick) using the cobas® DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Roche Molecular Diagnostics), following the manufacturer's protocol.
