Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a lethal cancer-related disease in population. Adenocarcinoma (AC) is subclassified into several subtypes based on the new classification by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society in 2011. Correlation between original expression of Crk-like ( CRKL ) and anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase in diverse histological components of AC and epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) or ALK status was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and sequencing in present study. A total of 106 cases, including 83 patients (78.3%) with mixed-type ACs, were assessed in the present study using eligible follow-up data. The ACs consisted of 32 acinar, 12 papillary, 5 mucinous, 11 micropapillary and 46 solid-predominant ACs. In total, 69.8% samples were composed of 2 or 3 histological components, with different expression levels of CRKL and AXL . ACs with EGFR mutation had a higher level of AXL expression compared with ACs without mutation (P=0.019). Multivariate survival analysis showed that AC subtypes and EGFR mutation subtypes were significantly associated with the progression-free survival (PFS) time. Acinar AC was the subtype with the most notable PFS time (30.6 months), which was significantly different from the PFS time of papillary, mucinous, micropapillary and solid-predominant ACs (hazard ratio, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.21-0.75; P=0.005). Among the ACs with exon 19 mutation, the median PFS time (28.8 months) of patients with a lower level of AXL protein expression was increased compared with the PFS time of patients with the L858R mutation and wild-type EGFR (9.1 months and 11 months, respectively; P=0.03), whereas no significant difference in ACs with an increased level of AXL expression. However, AC patients with higher level of CRKL expression had better PFS (28.8 months) than patients with the L858R mutation and wild-type EGFR (9.1 months and 11.3 months, respectively). Exon 19 deletion is an important status that is associated with an improved response to conventional chemotherapy. The identification of EGFR mutations combined with CRKL and AXL status may potentially alter the way that lung AC is treated.

Expression level of CRKL and AXL combined with exon 19 deletion in EGFR and ALK status confer differential prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma subtypes
