Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, diagnosis and treatment of SMARCA4 (BRG1)-deficient carcinoma.
MethodsClinical data of 11 patients with SMARCA4 (BRG1)-deficient cancer were collected. The morphologic and immunohistochemical features of this tumour were summarized, and the relevant literature was reviewed.
ResultsAmong the 11 cases of SMARCA4 (BRG1)-deficient carcinoma, eight were male and three were female, with median age of 60. Seven patients underwent radical resection, and four underwent traditional joint targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Microscopically, the tumor cells were epithelioid, rhabdoid or spindle-shaped, with prominent eosinophilic nucleoli and frequent mitoses (>5/10 HPF). Multiple foci of necrosis were found in the tumor tissue, a large number of tumor emboli in the blood vessels and myxoid stromal degeneration. Among these cases, 11 cases showed loss of SMARCA4 (BRG1) expression, whereas the CK and Vim markers were expressed, SMARCB1 (INI1) expression was retained, and p53 mutation was detected. The tumor cells showed high proliferation activity (Ki-67>60%), and synaptophsin was moderately positive. Three cases were mismatch repair deficient and respectively showed the loss of MLH1/PMS2, PMS2 and MSH6 expression.
ConclusionThe incidence of SMARCA4 (BRG1) -dificient carcinoma is low. It can be easily confused with other tumors and is difficult to be diagnosed before operation, which requires confirmation by immunohistochemistry.

酵母交配型转换/蔗糖不发酵复合物(switch/sucrose non-fermentable complex, SWI/SNF复合物)的突变广泛分布于人类各种肿瘤中,其中SMARCA4(BRG1)是继ARID1A之后恶性肿瘤中突变第二频繁的SWI/SNF基因,具代表性的肿瘤为卵巢高血钙型小细胞癌[1],新近文献也陆续报道了一些高侵袭性的SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性未分化肿瘤,可发生于头颈部、胸腔、消化道和女性生殖道等部位,但均十分少见[2-4]。因肿瘤细胞分化原始,除SMARCA4(BRG1)等SWI/SNF复合物相关标志物外,缺乏特异性分化,诊治过程中易被误诊为各种类型的低分化或未分化肿瘤。本文回顾性分析11例SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌临床病理学特征,以提升对这类疾病的认识,减少漏诊和误诊。

SWI/SNF复合物是一类多亚基构成的染色质重塑复合物[5],包含ATP酶催化亚基SMARCA4(BRG1)/SMARCA2(BRM);高度保守核心亚基SMARCB 1(INI1、SNF5和BAF47)、SMARCC1(BAF155)和SMARCC2(BAF170);功能特异性辅助亚基PBRM 1(BAF180)和ARID1A(BAF250A)。研究发现,SWI/SNF复合物参与DNA复制、转录和修复,调控胚胎发育、组织再生、细胞衰老及凋亡等过程,在抑制肿瘤发生发展中发挥着重要作用[6]。当SWI/SNF复合物亚单位发生异常时,SWI/SNF复合物功能受到影响,可能就导致肿瘤的形成。
大家所熟知的因核心亚基 SMARCB1(INI1)突变而发生的肿瘤包括儿童中枢神经系统的不典型畸胎样/横纹肌样肿瘤、肾脏的横纹肌样肿瘤和软组织的上皮样肉瘤[7],而对催化亚基SMARCA4(BRG1)突变所致的病变研究相对较少,SMARCA4是继ARID1A之后恶性肿瘤中突变第二频繁的SWI/SNF基因,其代表性肿瘤为卵巢高钙血症小细胞癌(small cell carcinoma of ovary of hypercalcemic type,SCCOHT)。据新近研究发现,约有 5%~10%的非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)存在SMARCA4(BRG1)丢失[5]。随后,陆续报道发生于其他部位的SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌,包括食管、胃、子宫等,但均十分少见。
本文共收集了11例SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌,发生部位包括子宫、胃、结直肠和肝脏。本组病例显示肿瘤好发于中老年人(中位年龄60岁),性别无明显差异,就诊时肿瘤体积较大,患者大多处于中晚期。镜下形态:肿瘤组织内见多灶状凝固性坏死,显示大量脉管侵犯,肿瘤细胞呈弥漫片状、巢状排列。大部分肿瘤细胞形态一致,显示失黏附性,胞浆丰富、红染,呈现上皮样或横纹肌样形态,但少数病例显示肿瘤细胞具多形性,或呈梭形细胞形态,或形成腺样结构,肿瘤间质可发生黏液样变性。
免疫组织化学标记显示,11例均失表达SMARCA4(BRG1),SMARCB1(INI1)表达保留,1例SMARCA2(BRM)失表达,肿瘤细胞同时表达上皮源性和间叶源性标记。值得指出的是,上皮源性标记在子宫及胃肠道SMARCA4缺失性癌中表达明显减少,甚至为阴性,而发生于肝脏者为强阳性。本文3例子宫SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌中2例为阴性,1例仅少许细胞表达;6例胃肠道SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌中3例局灶细胞表达,3例部分细胞表达,其他上皮性标记物CK7、CK20也常为阴性。朱培培等[8]报道9例胃肠道SMARCA4缺失性未分化癌中3例上皮性标记为阴性,5例仅个别细胞表达。Chang等[9]报道的19例胃肠道SMARCA4缺失性未分化癌也呈现同样的结果,其中11例上皮性标记不表达或表达明显减低。本文11例波形蛋白均为强阳性表达,给诊断带来了很大的挑战,尤其对于活检标本,易误诊为肉瘤或其他恶性肿瘤。SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌常表达原始细胞标记,本文7例表达SALL4,2例表达CD34,2例均为阴性。有趣的是SALL4和CD34并不同时表达,临床工作中需同时检测两者。神经内分泌标志物在SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌中有不同程度的表达,11例均检测到Syn表达,细胞呈弱-中等强度阳性,而其他神经内分泌标记CD56、CgA仅散在或少数细胞表达。发生于子宫的SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌,细胞缺乏ER、PR表达,本文3例激素标记均为阴性。发生于胃肠道者缺乏SATB2、CDX2表达。
DNA错配修复蛋白检测显示,本文8例消化系统SMARCA4缺失性癌均为pMMR(MMR-proficient)。既往文献报道2例肠道SMARCA4缺失肠癌二代测序显示1例存在BRAF V600E和p53突变,2例均为MSS[10]。Tsuruta等[11]检测了54例胃低分化实性腺癌SWI/SNF复合物表达状态,结果显示26例SMARCA4缺失,且其中13例呈dMMR(MMR-deficient),缺失率达50%,提示SMARCA4缺失更易引起dMMR,该结果与本文检测结果相差较大,可能与本文入组病例数量较少有关,后期会收集更多样本进行检测。本文3例子宫SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌均出现一个或两个错配修复蛋白的缺失,其中1例经Sanger测序检测证实为高度微卫星不稳定型(microsatellite instable-high, MSI-H)。以上结果与Tessier-Cloutier等[12]研究一致,其检测了44例子宫SWI/SNF复合物表达缺失的未分化癌,结果显示38例呈dMMR,其中17例SMARCA4缺失。
需要与本病鉴别诊断的肿瘤包括:(1)SMARCB1(INI1)缺失性癌:两者形态学表现有重叠,最主要的鉴别在于SMARCA4(BRG1)标志物检测。(2)神经内分泌癌:肿瘤细胞常弥漫性表达2个以上的神经内分泌标志物,而SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌虽不同程度表达神经内分泌标志物,但多为灶性或部分表达,而且很少同时表达两种及两种以上神经内分泌标记。(3)上皮样胃肠道间质瘤:发生于胃肠道的SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失需与之鉴别,典型病例表达CD34、CD117、DOG-1,且大多数病例具有C-Kit、PDGFRA基因活化突变。(4)淋巴造血系统肿瘤:如间变性大细胞淋巴瘤、弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤:SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌呈弥漫分布,黏附性差,需与之鉴别。肿瘤细胞表达T细胞或B细胞标记,不表达上皮标记物,必要时可行T或B细胞受体基因重排检测辅助诊断。(5)黑色素瘤:消化系统及子宫原发黑色素瘤少见,多为转移来源,结合病史及相关免疫组织化学标志物(MelanA、HMB45、SOX10等)可以鉴别。
目前对SMARCA4(BRG1)缺失性癌缺乏有效的治疗手段,常规治疗包括积极手术治疗,辅助传统的放化疗及靶向药物治疗等,但效果较差,患者常在短期内死亡。Machado等[13]回顾性分析41例未分化胃癌病例,其中5例SWI/SNF缺失性癌存在大量淋巴细胞浸润,提示其对免疫治疗可能更加敏感。有研究发现SMARCA4缺失性肺癌可以从免疫检查点抑制剂[14]和以铂类为主的化疗[15]中获益。Schoenfeld等[16]观察接受免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的445例SMARCA4缺失性肺癌患者,发现SMARCA4突变的患者较SMARCA4野生型具有更高的客观缓解率,生存率有显著提高。部分胸腔SMARCA4缺失性肿瘤病例也在此治疗中获得了一定的疗效[17]。其他针对SMARCA4表达改变的肿瘤治疗热点还包括氧化磷酸化抑制剂和CDK4/6抑制剂,且现有多项涉及SWI/SNF突变型肿瘤相关治疗的药物正处于临床试验阶段,相信在未来会有更多的治疗手段来改善患者预后。
