      Background

      Blockade of immune checkpoints with monoclonal antibodies has recently emerged as a novel therapy against cancer. Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is a potent immunoregulatory molecule which regulate T- cell activation and proliferation. The most studied +49A/G polymorphism (rs231775) of the CTLA-4 gene has been associated with several autoimmune diseases and cancer.This study aimed to investigate the relationship between +49A/G polymorphism can predict the prognosis of patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgical resection in Brazilian population.

      Genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted from fresh-frozen NSCLC tissue using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, USA) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. The CTLA-4 gene was customized in a amplicon-based assay for targeted resequencing by TruSeq Custom Amplicon v1.5kit (TSCA, Illumina) on an Illumina MiSeq instrument (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF) of 0.05 or higher were included. X2 test was used to assess the association between CTLA-4 49A/G SNP and categorical clinicopathologic parameters. The overall survival (OS) estimates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. p <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

      Seventy-five patients with diagnosed NSCLC have been enrolled into this study. According to the pathological reports, the samples included adenocarcinoma (AC,n=52), adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC,n=5), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC,n=15) and large cell carcinoma (LCC, n=3). The CTLA-4 +49A/G genotype frequencies in NSCLC patients were detected with the following disposition: the frequencies of AA, AG and GG genotype were 53,3% (40/75), 33,3% (25/75) and 13.4% (10/75), respectively. We observed that patients with the GG-genotype of CTLA-4 rs231775 had longer OS compared with patients with an AG or AA genotype.

      This study suggests that CTLA-4 rs231775 could potentially be used as a prognostic biomarker.
