INTRODUCTION: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and their proliferative ability in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) were not well-investigated. We developed a protocol combining an efficient viable CTC isolation and in-vitro cultivation for the CTC enumeration and proliferation to evaluate their clinical significance.
METHOD: The peripheral blood of 124 treatment-naïve LUAD patients were processed by a CTC isolation microfluidics, DS platform, followed by in-vitro cultivation. LUAD-specific CTCs were defined by immunostaining of DAPI+/CD45-/(TTF1/CK7)+ and were enumerated upon isolation and after 7-day cultivation. The CTC proliferative ability was evaluated by both the cultured number and the culture index, a ratio of cultured CTC number to the initial CTC number in 2 mL of blood.
RESULT: All but two LUAD patients (98.4%) were detected with at least one CTC per 2 mL of blood. Initial CTC numbers did not correlate with metastasis (75 ± 126 for non-metastatic, 87 ± 113 for metastatic groups; P = 0.203). In contrast, both the cultured CTC number (mean: 28, 104, and 185 in stage 0/I, II/III, and IV; P < 0.001), and the culture index (mean: 1.1, 1.7 and 9.3 in stage 0/I, II/III, and IV; P = 0.043) were significantly correlated with the stages. Overall survival analysis within the non-metastatic group (N = 53) showed poor prognosis for patients with elevated cultured counts (cutoff ≥ 30; P = 0.027).
CONCLUSION: We implemented a CTC assay in clinical LUAD patients with a high detection rate and cultivation capability. Cultured CTC count and proliferative ability, rather than the crude CTC numbers, highly associated with cancer prognosis.
