Integrated genomic analysis identifies subclasses and prognosis signatures of kidney cancer.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To define robust miRNA-based molecular classifiers for human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) subgrouping and prognostication. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:Multidimensional data of over 500 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) archive. Data analysis was based on a novel computational approach that selectively considers patients with extreme expression values of miRNAs to detect survival-associated molecular signatures. RESULTS:Our in silico analysis unveiled a novel ccRCC-specific 5-miRNA (miR-10b, miR-21, miR-143, miR-183, and miR-192) signature able, when combined with information from conventional TNM staging and the age of the patient, to prognosticate ccRCC outcome more accurately than known ccRCC miRNA signatures or TNM staging alone. Furthermore, our approach revealed the existence of 6 distinct subgroups of ccRCC characterized by discrete differences in overall survival, tumor stage, and mutational spectra in key ccRCC tumor suppressor genes. It also demonstrated that BAP1 mutations correlate with tumor progression rather than overall survival. CONCLUSION:Integrated analysis of multidimensional data from the TCGA archive allowed to draw a portrait of distinct molecular subclasses of human ccRCC and to define signatures for prognosticating disease outcome. Together, these results offer new prospects for more accurate stratification and prognostication of ccRCC.

Project description:BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most lethal and malignant type of cancer in the world. Abnormal expression of human microRNA-200a (hsa-miRNA-200a or miR-200a) has previously been characterized as a clinically noticeable biomarker in several cancers, but its role in CRC is still unclear.MethodsThree CRC miRNA expression datasets were integratively analyzed by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selector Operation (LASSO) and Support Vector Machine-Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE) algorithms. Nine candidate miRNAs were identified and validated for diagnostic and prognostic capability with the prediction model. The potential roles of the tumor suppressor miR-200a-3p in invasion, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of CRC cells were elaborated by in vitro studies.ResultsNine miRNAs (miR-492, miR-200a, miR-338, miR-29c, miR-101, miR-148a, miR-92a, miR-424, and miR-210) were identified as potentially useful diagnostic biomarkers in the clinic. The overall accuracy rate of the nine miRNAs in the diagnostic model was 0.94, 0.89, and 0.978 in the testing, validation, and independent validation dataset, respectively. CRC patients in the GSE29622 cohort were separated by the prognostic model into the low-risk score group and the high-risk score group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.872 and 0.783 for predicting the 1- to 10-year survival of CRC patients. The performance of the prognostic model was validated by an independent TCGA-Colon Adenocarcinoma (COAD) dataset with AUC values between 0.911 and 0.796 in predicting 1- to 10-year survival. Nomograms comprising risk scores, tumor stage, and TNM staging were generated for predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) in the GSE29622 and TCGA-COAD datasets. Colony formation, invasion, and migration in DLD1 and SW480 cells were suppressed by overexpression of miR-200a-3p. Inhibition of miR-200a-3p function contributed to abnormal colony formation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). miR-200a-3p binding sites were located within the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) mRNA.ConclusionWe developed and validated a diagnostic and prognostic prediction model for CRC. miR-200a-3p was determined to be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for CRC.

Project description:BackgroundNeoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has become a standard treatment strategy for breast cancer (BC). However, owing to the high heterogeneity of these tumors, it is unclear which patient population most likely benefit from NAC. Multi-omics offer an improved approach to uncovering genomic and transcriptomic changes before and after NAC in BC and to identifying molecular features associated with NAC sensitivity.MethodsWe performed whole-exome and RNA sequencing on 233 samples (including matched pre- and post-treatment tumors) from 50 BC patients with rigorously defined responses to NAC and analyzed changes in the multi-omics landscape. Molecular features associated with NAC response were identified and validated in a larger internal, and two external validation cohorts, as well as in vitro experiments.ResultsThe most frequently altered genes were TP53, TTN, and MUC16 in both pre- and post-treatment tumors. In comparison with pre-treatment tumors, there was a significant decrease in C > A transversion mutations in post-treatment tumors (P = 0.020). NAC significantly decreased the mutation rate (P = 0.006) of the DNA repair pathway and gene expression levels (FDR = 0.007) in this pathway. NAC also significantly changed the expression level of immune checkpoint genes and the abundance of tumor-infiltrating immune and stroma cells, including B cells, activated dendritic cells, γδT cells, M2 macrophages and endothelial cells. Furthermore, there was a higher rate of C > T substitutions in NAC nonresponsive tumors than responsive ones, especially when the substitution site was flanked by C and G. Importantly, there was a unique amplified region at 8p11.23 (containing ADGRA2 and ADRB3) and a deleted region at 3p13 (harboring FOXP1) in NAC nonresponsive and responsive tumors, respectively. Particularly, the CDKAL1 missense variant P409L (p.Pro409Leu, c.1226C > T) decreased BC cell sensitivity to docetaxel, and ADGRA2 or ADRB3 gene amplifications were associated with worse NAC response and poor prognosis in BC patients.ConclusionsOur study has revealed genomic and transcriptomic landscape changes following NAC in BC, and identified novel biomarkers (CDKAL1P409L, ADGRA2 and ADRB3) underlying chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis, which could guide the development of personalized treatments for BC.
