Resumen

Platinum analogues are commonly used for cancer treatment. There is increasing interest in finding biomarkers which could predict and overcome resistance, because to date there is no reliable predictive/prognostic marker for these compounds. Here we studied the immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of proteins involved in DNA damage response and repair (γH2AX, 53BP1, ERCC1, MLH1, and MSH2) in primary tumor tissues from patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Levels and localization of HSP27 and phospho-(Thr5/7)-HSP90α (p-HSP90α) were also determined. The implications in clinical response, disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analysed. High γH2AX and 53BP1 expressions were associated with poor clinical response. Nuclear p-HSP90α, as well as nuclear absence and low cytoplasmic expression of HSP27 correlated with good response. Patients with high γH2AX and high cytoplasmic HSP27 expressions had shorter OS and DFS. MLH1, MSH2 or ERCC1 were not associated with clinical response or survival. We report the potential utility of p-HSP90α, HSP27, γH2AX and 53BP1 as predictive/prognostic markers for platinum-based chemotherapy. We present the first study that evaluates the predictive and prognostic value of p-HSP90α in primary tumors. Our research opens new possibilities for clinical oncology and shows the usefulness of IHC for predicting chemotherapy response and prognosis in cancer.
