Decreased sphingomyelin (t34:1) is a candidate predictor for lung squamous cell carcinoma recurrence after radical surgery: a case-control study

Abstract Background To reduce disease recurrence after radical surgery for lung squamous cell carcinomas (SQCCs), accurate prediction of recurrent high-risk patients is required for efficient patient selection for adjuvant chemotherapy. Because treatment modalities for recurrent lung SQCCs are scarc...

Methods Recurrent (n = 5) and non-recurrent (n = 6) cases of lung SQCC patients who underwent radical surgery were assigned to recurrent and non-recurrent groups, respectively. Extracted lipids from frozen tissue samples of primary lung SQCC were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

To compare lipidomic characteristics associated with recurrent SQCCs and ADCs, a meta-analysis combining SQCC (n = 11) and ADC (n = 20) cohorts was conducted.

Among the six candidates, the top three final candidates (selected by AUC assessment) were all decreased SM(t34:1) species, showing strong performance in recurrence prediction that is equivalent to that of histopathological prognostic factors. Meta-analysis indicated that decreases in a limited number of SM species were observed in the SQCC cohort as a lipidomic characteristic associated with recurrence, in contrast, significant increases in a broad range of lipids (including SM species) were observed in the ADC cohort.
