Dataset Information

An in silico analytical study of lung cancer and smokers datasets from gene expression omnibus (GEO) for prediction of differentially expressed genes.

ABSTRACT: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer development and several genes have been identified as potential biomarker for lungs cancer. Contributing to the present scientific knowledge of biomarkers for lung cancer two different data sets, i.e. GDS3257 and GDS3054 were downloaded from NCBI?s GEO database and normalized by RMA and GRMA packages (Bioconductor). Diffrentially expressed genes were extracted by using and were R (3.1.2); DAVID online tool was used for gene annotation and GENE MANIA tool was used for construction of gene regulatory network. Nine smoking independent gene were found whereas average expressions of those genes were almost similar in both the datasets. Five genes among them were found to be associated with cancer subtypes. Thirty smoking specific genes were identified; among those genes eight were associated with cancer sub types. GPR110, IL1RN and HSP90AA1 were found directly associated with lung cancer. SEMA6A differentially expresses in only non-smoking lung cancer samples. FLG is differentially expressed smoking specific gene and is related to onset of various cancer subtypes. Functional annotation and network analysis revealed that FLG participates in various epidermal tissue developmental processes and is co-expressed with other genes. Lung tissues are epidermal tissues and thus it suggests that alteration in FLG may cause lung cancer. We conclude that smoking alters expression of several genes and associated biological pathways during development of lung cancers.

Project description:BackgroundStomach adenocarcinomas (STAD) are the most common malignancy of the human digestive system and represent the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. As early-stage STAD are generally mild or asymptomatic, patients with advanced STAD have short overall survival. Early diagnosis of STAD has a considerable influence on clinical outcomes.MethodsThe mRNA expression data and clinical indicators of STAD and normal tissues were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The gene expression differences were analyzed by R packages, and gene function enrichment analysis was performed. Kaplan-Meier method and univariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis were used to screen differential expressed genes (DEGs) related to survival of STAD patients. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis was used to further screen and determine the prognostic DEGs in STAD patients, and to construct a multigene prognostic prediction signature. The accuracy of predictive signature was tested by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve software package, and the nomogram of patients with STAD was drawn. Cox regression was used to investigate the correlation between multigene prognostic signature and clinical factors. The predictive performance of this model was compared with two other models proposed in previous studies using KM survival analysis, ROC curve analysis, Harrell consistency index and decision curve analysis (DCA). qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to verify the expression levels of prognostic genes. The pathways and functions of possible involvement of features were predicted using the GSEA method.ResultsA total of 569 early-stage specific DEGs were retrieved from TCGA-STAD dataset, including 229 up-regulated genes and 340 down-regulated genes. Enrichment analysis showed that the early-stage specific DEGs were associated with cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, and calcium signaling pathway. Multiple Cox regression algorithm was used to identify 10 early-stage specific DEGs associated with overall survival (P < 0.01) of STAD patients, and a multi-mRNA prognosis signature was established. The patients were divided into high-risk group and low-risk group according to the risk score. In the training set, the prognostic signature was positively correlated with tumor size and stage (P < 0.05), survival curve (P < 0.001) and time-dependent ROC (AUC = 0.625). In the training dataset and test dataset, the both signatures had good predictive efficiencies. Cox regression and DCA analysis revealed that the prognostic signature was an independent factor and had a better predict effect than the conventional TNM stage classification method and the earlier published biomarkers on the prognosis of STAD patients.ConclusionIn this study, based on the early-stage specifically expressed genes, the prognostic signature constructed through TCGA and GEO datasets may become an indicator for clinical prognosis assessment of STAD and a new strategy for targeted therapy in the future.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is among the major diseases threatening human health. Although the immune response plays an important role in tumor development, its exact mechanisms are unclear.Materials and methodsHere, we used CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE algorithms to determine the proportion of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) as well as the number of immune and mesenchymal components from the data of 474 lung cancer patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. And we used data from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) for validation.ResultsWe observed that immune, stromal, and assessment scores were only somewhat related to survival with no statistically significant differences. Further investigations revealed these scores to be associated with different pathology types. GO and KEGG analyses of differentially expressed genes revealed that they were strongly associated with immunity in lung cancer. In order to determine whether the signaling pathways identified by GO and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analyses were up- or down-regulated, we performed a gene set enrichment analysis using the entire matrix of differentially expressed genes. We found that signaling pathways involved in hallmark allograft rejection, hallmark apical junction, hallmark interferon gamma response, the hallmark P53 pathway, and the hallmark TNF-α signaling via NF-ĸB were up-regulated in the high-ESTIMATE-score group. CIBERSORT analysis for the proportion of TICs revealed that different immune cells were positively correlated with the ESTIMATE score. Cox regression analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed that CPA3, C15orf48, FCGR1B, and GNG4 were associated with patient prognosis. A prognostic model was constructed wherein patients with high-risk scores had a worse prognosis (p < 0.001 using the log-rank test). The Area Under Curve (AUC)value for the risk model in predicting the survival was 0.666. The validation set C index was 0.631 (95% CI: 0.580-0.652). The AUC for the risk formula in the validation set was 0.560 that confirmed predictivity of the signature.ConclusionWe found that immune-related gene expression models could predict patient prognosis. Moreover, high- and low-ESTIMATE-score groups had different types of immune cell infiltration.

Project description:Complex disease such as cancer results from interactions of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Studying these factors singularly cannot explain the underlying pathogenetic mechanism of the disease. Multi-analytical approach, including logistic regression (LR), classification and regression tree (CART) and multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR), was applied in 188 lung cancer cases and 290 controls to explore high order interactions among xenobiotic metabolizing genes and environmental risk factors. Smoking was identified as the predominant risk factor by all three analytical approaches. Individually, CYP1A1*2A polymorphism was significantly associated with increased lung cancer risk (OR?=?1.69;95%CI?=?1.11-2.59,p?=?0.01), whereas EPHX1 Tyr113His and SULT1A1 Arg213His conferred reduced risk (OR?=?0.40;95%CI?=?0.25-0.65,p<0.001 and OR?=?0.51;95%CI?=?0.33-0.78,p?=?0.002 respectively). In smokers, EPHX1 Tyr113His and SULT1A1 Arg213His polymorphisms reduced the risk of lung cancer, whereas CYP1A1*2A, CYP1A1*2C and GSTP1 Ile105Val imparted increased risk in non-smokers only. While exploring non-linear interactions through CART analysis, smokers carrying the combination of EPHX1 113TC (Tyr/His), SULT1A1 213GG (Arg/Arg) or AA (His/His) and GSTM1 null genotypes showed the highest risk for lung cancer (OR?=?3.73;95%CI?=?1.33-10.55,p?=?0.006), whereas combined effect of CYP1A1*2A 6235CC or TC, SULT1A1 213GG (Arg/Arg) and betel quid chewing showed maximum risk in non-smokers (OR?=?2.93;95%CI?=?1.15-7.51,p?=?0.01). MDR analysis identified two distinct predictor models for the risk of lung cancer in smokers (tobacco chewing, EPHX1 Tyr113His, and SULT1A1 Arg213His) and non-smokers (CYP1A1*2A, GSTP1 Ile105Val and SULT1A1 Arg213His) with testing balance accuracy (TBA) of 0.6436 and 0.6677 respectively. Interaction entropy interpretations of MDR results showed non-additive interactions of tobacco chewing with SULT1A1 Arg213His and EPHX1 Tyr113His in smokers and SULT1A1 Arg213His with GSTP1 Ile105Val and CYP1A1*2C in nonsmokers. These results identified distinct gene-gene and gene environment interactions in smokers and non-smokers, which confirms the importance of multifactorial interaction in risk assessment of lung cancer.
