Abstract Background The cancer genome contains several driver mutations. However, in some cases, no known drivers have been identified; these remaining areas of unmet needs, leading to limited progress in cancer therapy. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can identify non-coding alterations associated with the disease. Consequently, exploration of non-coding regions using WGS and other omics data such as ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) to discern novel alterations and mechanisms related to tumorigenesis have been attractive these days. Methods Integrated multi-omics analyses, including WGS, ChIP-seq, DNA methylation, and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), were conducted on samples from patients with non-clinically actionable genetic alterations (non-CAGAs) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Second-level cluster analysis was performed to reinforce the correlations associated with patient survival, as identified by RNA-seq. Subsequent differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify potential druggable targets. Results Differences in H3K27ac marks in non-CAGAs LUAD were found and confirmed by analyzing RNA-seq data, in which mastermind-like transcriptional coactivator 2 (MAML2) was suppressed. The down-regulated genes whose expression was correlated to MAML2 expression were associated with patient prognosis. WGS analysis revealed somatic mutations associated with the H3K27ac marks in the MAML2 region and high levels of DNA methylation in MAML2 were observed in tumor samples. The second-level cluster analysis enabled patient stratification and subsequent analyses identified potential therapeutic target genes and treatment options. Conclusions We overcome the persistent challenges of identifying alterations or driver mutations in coding regions related to tumorigenesis through a novel approach combining multi-omics data with clinical information to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying non-CAGAs LUAD, stratify patients to improve patient prognosis, and identify potential therapeutic targets. This approach may be applicable to studies of other cancers with unmet needs. |
