Increased VEGF-A in solid type of lung adenocarcinoma reduces the patients’ survival

Abstract The histological classification of lung adenocarcinoma includes 5 types: lepidic, acinar, papillary, micropapillary and solid. The complex gene interactions and anticancer immune response of these types are not well known. The aim of this study was to reveal the survival rates, genetic alte...

This study reviewed the histological findings of 517 patients with lung adenocarcinoma from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and classified them into five types.

Our study focused on the solid type, which had the poorest prognosis. The solid type was related to adaptive immune resistance associated with elevated CD8 T cells and high CD274 (encoding PD-L1) expression. In the pathway analyses, the solid type was significantly related to high vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A expression, reflecting tumor angiogenesis.
