Characteristics of MYC Amplification and Their Association with Clinicopathological and Molecular Factors in Patients with Breast Cancer.
MYC amplification is detected in ∼15% of breast tumors and is associated with poor prognosis by mediating acquired resistance to anticancer therapies. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of MYC amplifications in Chinese women with breast cancer (BRCA) and investigate the correlation between MYC amplification and clinicopathological and molecular characteristics and its clinical implications. We analyzed MYC alterations in tissue specimens from 410 women diagnosed with BRCA in our hospital from June 1, 2017 to September 27, 2018. We compared our results with publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) BRCA cohort (n = 1079). MYC amplification was identified in 12.4% (51/410) of our cohort, with mean copy number (CN) of 4.42 (range: 2.84-11.27). In TCGA cohort, MYC amplification was identified in 21.2% (229/1079) and was associated with age, estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, and molecular subtype, whereas in our cohort, MYC amplification was associated with smaller tumor size (T1-2, p = 0.023) and higher Ki-67 levels (≥20%; p = 0.031). Analysis of molecular profiles revealed that MYC-amplified breast tumors had significantly more concurrent CN variations compared with MYC nonamplified BRCA in both Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (GDPH) and TCGA cohorts (p < 0.001). Pathway mapping analysis demonstrated that MYC-amplified tumors had more mutations involved in 15 different but interrelated pathways critical in DNA repair, cell cycle, and cell proliferation. Patients in TCGA cohort with MYC-amplified hormone receptor (HR)-positive/HER2-positive BRCA (p = 0.038) and MYC nonamplified triple-negative BRCA (p = 0.027) had significantly shorter overall survival. In conclusion, this study contributes to a better understanding that MYC-amplified breast tumors had distinct clinicopathological and molecular features compared with MYC nonamplified breast tumors. Further research with a larger sample size is necessary to further elucidate the clinical and survival implications of MYC amplifications.
