       最新测序技术意味着,现在有可能从全基因组范围内来观察突变差异,而且现在研究人员对肺癌已经做到了这一点,并对一种原发性肺部肿瘤(一种腺癌,来自一名男子,他15年来每天平均吸烟25支)和相邻正常组织的完整序列进行了比较。

       比较结果显示了超过5万个“点突变”,其中530个得到确认,它们当中392个在编码区域,包括以前已知的变异,如KRAS“原致癌基因”突变和放大。这些数据表明,遗传上复杂的肿瘤可能包含很多部分冗余的突变,而且要识别复发性致癌“驱动突变”(driver mutation),将需要对很多尚未测序的样本进行测序。 (生物谷Bioon.com)

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small-cell lung carcinomas in smokers being the predominant form of the disease1, 2. Although previous studies have identified important common somatic mutations in lung cancers, they have primarily focused on a limited set of genes and have thus provided a constrained view of the mutational spectrum3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Recent cancer sequencing efforts have used next-generation sequencing technologies to provide a genome-wide view of mutations in leukaemia, breast cancer and cancer cell lines9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Here we present the complete sequences of a primary lung tumour (60× coverage) and adjacent normal tissue (46×). Comparing the two genomes, we identify a wide variety of somatic variations, including >50,000 high-confidence single nucleotide variants. We validated 530 somatic single nucleotide variants in this tumour, including one in the KRAS proto-oncogene and 391 others in coding regions, as well as 43 large-scale structural variations. These constitute a large set of new somatic mutations and yield an estimated 17.7 per megabase genome-wide somatic mutation rate. Notably, we observe a distinct pattern of selection against mutations within expressed genes compared to non-expressed genes and in promoter regions up to 5?kilobases upstream of all protein-coding genes. Furthermore, we observe a higher rate of amino acid-changing mutations in kinase genes. We present a comprehensive view of somatic alterations in a single lung tumour, and provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, of distinct selective pressures present within the tumour environment.
