Popis: Background: The etiology of lung cancer among never-smokers has not been adequately elucidated despite that globally15% of lung cancer cases in men and 53% in women are not smoking-related. Epigenetic modifications, including changes in DNA methylation (DNAm), have been suggested as possible underlying mechanisms. However, only a few prospective epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of lung cancer incidence have been conducted, all exclusively focused on DNAm in peripheral blood cells and included a minimal number of never-smokers. We aimed to investigate genome-wide DNAm associations and epigenetic age acceleration with future risk of lung cancer among never-smokers using pre-diagnostic oral rinse samples. Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 80 never-smoking incident lung cancer cases and 83 comparable never-smoking controls nested in two large prospective cohorts: the Shanghai Women’s Health Study and Shanghai Men’s Health Study. DNAm was measured using the Illumina EPIC array. The top 50 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were identified from a discovery sample and tested for replication in a validation sample using robust linear regression models. We also conducted an EWAS in the pooled sample. We examined functional overlap enrichment across chromatin states and histone mark broadPeaks for the top 1000 DMPs using eFORGE and constructed enrichment biological pathways analyses. Results: Across discovery and pooled EWAS, we identified four DMPs associated with lung cancer at the epigenome-wide significance level of P Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first prospective EWAS of lung cancer among never-smokers using oral rinse samples. Our results show that DNAm in pre-diagnostic oral rinse samples can provide new insights into lung cancer etiology and risk factors. Citation Format: Mohammad L. Rahman, Charles E.
