LRP1B deletion

In the POPLAR/OAK cohort, nsqNSCLCs with LRP1B-del demonstrated improved PFS benefits from atezolizumab over docetaxel (hazard ratio (HR) =0.70, P=0.046), whereas this benefit was negligible in those without LRP1B-del (HR=1.05, P=0.64)...Consistent results were observed in the in-house CHOICE-01 cohort, in which nsqNSCLCs with LRP1B-del and sqNSCLCs without LRP1B-del benefited more from toripalimab plus chemotherapy than from chemotherapy alone (Pinteraction=0.008). This multi-cohort study delineates the antithetical impacts of LRP1B-del in nsqNSCLCs and sqNSCLCs on predicting the benefits from ICI alone or with chemotherapy over chemotherapy alone. Our findings highlight the distinct clinical utility of LRP1B-del in guiding treatment choices for nsqNSCLCs and sqNSCLCs, emphasizing the necessity for a detailed analysis based on pathological subtypes when investigating biomarkers for cancer therapeutics.

Taken together, our work implicates LRP1B deletion as a potential biomarker for identifying treatment resistant HPV+ OPSCC cases.

Proteomic analysis of the clones' secretome identified differentially expressed proteins that had not been previously associated with LRP1B alterations. This study demonstrates that the dual sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 strategy can effectively edit LRP1B in GB cells, providing new insights into the impact of LRP1B deletions in GBM biology.

Further investigation demonstrated that silencing LRP1B expression enhanced the sensitivity of HCC cells to doxorubicin...Additionally, we probed the genomic alterations of LRP1B in HCC and the impact on the prognosis of patients. Collectively, our results suggest that LRP1B plays an essential role in the promotion of HCC progression by regulating the PERK-ATF4-CHOP signaling pathway, which is a potential prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target of HCC.
