Gene expression profiling in human lung development: an abundant resource for lung adenocarcinoma prognosis.

ABSTRACT: A tumor can be viewed as a special "organ" that undergoes aberrant and poorly regulated organogenesis. Progress in cancer prognosis and therapy might be facilitated by re-examining distinctive processes that operate during normal development, to elucidate the intrinsic features of cancer that are significantly obscured by its heterogeneity. The global gene expression signatures of 44 human lung tissues at four development stages from Asian descent and 69 lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) tissue samples from ethnic Chinese patients were profiled using microarrays. All of the genes were classified into 27 distinct groups based on their expression patterns (named as PTN1 to PTN27) during the developmental process. In lung ADC, genes whose expression levels decreased steadily during lung development (genes in PTN1) generally had their expression reactivated, while those with uniformly increasing expression levels (genes in PTN27) had their expression suppressed. The genes in PTN1 contain many n-gene signatures that are of prognostic value for lung ADC. The prognostic relevance of a 12-gene demonstrator for patient survival was characterized in five cohorts of healthy and ADC patients [ADC_CICAMS (n = 69, p = 0.007), ADC_PNAS (n = 125, p = 0.0063), ADC_GSE13213 (n = 117, p = 0.0027), ADC_GSE8894 (n =? 2, p = 0.01), and ADC_NCI (n = 282, p = 0.045)] and in four groups of stage I patients [ADC_CICAMS (n = 22, p = 0.017), ADC_PNAS (n = 76, p = 0.018), ADC_GSE13213 (n = 79, p = 0.02), and ADC_qPCR (n = 62, p = 0.006)]. In conclusion, by comparison of gene expression profiles during human lung developmental process and lung ADC progression, we revealed that the genes with a uniformly decreasing expression pattern during lung development are of enormous prognostic value for lung ADC.

Project description:Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the main types of lung cancer. Because of its low early diagnosis rate, poor late prognosis, and high mortality, it is of great significance to find biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. Methods: Five hundred and twelve LUADs from The Cancer Genome Atlas were used for differential expression analysis and short time-series expression miner (STEM) analysis to identify the LUAD-development characteristic genes. Survival analysis was used to identify the LUAD-unfavorable genes and LUAD-favorable genes. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) was used to score individual samples against the two gene sets. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to explore the diagnostic and prognostic ability of the two GSVA score systems. Two independent data sets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were used for verifying the results. Functional enrichment analysis was used to explore the potential biological functions of LUAD-unfavorable genes. Results: With the development of LUAD, 185 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were gradually upregulated, of which 84 genes were associated with LUAD survival and named as LUAD-unfavorable gene set. While 237 DEGs were gradually downregulated, of which 39 genes were associated with LUAD survival and named as LUAD-favorable gene set. ROC curve analysis and univariate/multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses indicated both of LUAD-unfavorable GSVA score and LUAD-favorable GSVA score were a biomarker of LUAD. Moreover, both of these two GSVA score systems were an independent factor for LUAD prognosis. The LUAD-unfavorable genes were significantly involved in p53 signaling pathway, Oocyte meiosis, and Cell cycle. Conclusion: We identified and validated two LUAD-development characteristic gene sets that not only have diagnostic value but also prognostic value. It may provide new insight for further research on LUAD.
