Abstract Text | Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a common form of liposarcoma with challenging treatment modalities. Pan-TRK immunopositivity can be often observed without NTRK gene fusion in soft tissue sarcomas with myogenic differentiation. Expression and the role of NTRK in DDLPS are under-studied. We sought to identify activating mutations of the NTRK genes.131 DDLPS patients were selected for pan-TRK immunohistochemistry and positive cases were analyzed by Sanger sequencing for NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes. Functional assays were performed using a lentiviral transduction system to study the effect of NTRK variants in fibroblast, immortalized fibroblast, and dedifferentiated liposarcoma cell lines.Out of the 131 DDLPS cases, 75 immunohistochemical staining positive cases, 46 were successfully Sanger sequenced. A recurrent somatic mutation pair in cis position (NGS) of the NTRK1 c.1810C>T (p.H604Y) and c.1838G>T (p.G613V) was identified in six cases (13%) that have never been reported in DDLPS. NTRK fusions were excluded in all six cases by FISH and NGS. The phospho-AKT immunopositivity among the six mutated cases suggested downstream activation of the NTRK signaling pathway. Functional assays showed no transforming effects, but resistance to first- and second-line TRK inhibitors of the p.G613V and p.H604Y variant.We detected (de novo/somatic) missense mutation variants in cis position of the NTRK1 gene in a subset of DDLPS indicating modifying mutations that may contribute to tumorigenesis in a subset of DDLPS. These variants beget resistance to TRK inhibitors indicating an interesting biomarker for other studies with TRK inhibitors. |

NTRK1 | G613V | missense | unknown | NTRK1 G613V lies within the protein kinase domain of the Ntrk1 protein (UniProt.org). G613V is not transforming in culture, but results in increased phosphorylation of Akt in combination with NTRK1 H604Y in patient samples and has been associated with resistance to NTRK inhibitors in cell culture (PMID: 38531265), but has not been individually biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Nrtk1 protein function is unknown. | Y |
