Prognostic significance of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 polymorphisms on biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is a transmembrane receptor with ligand-induced tyrosine kinase activity and is involved in various biological and pathological processes. Several polymorphisms of FGFR4 are associated with the incidence and mortality of numerous cancers, including prostate cancer. In this study, we investigated whether the polymorphisms of FGFR4 influence the biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer in Chinese men after radical prostatectomy. Three common polymorphisms (rs1966265, rs2011077, and rs351855) of FGFR4 were genotyped from 346 patients with prostate cancer by using the Sequenom MassARRAY system. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard models were used for survival analysis. Results showed biochemical recurrence (BCR) free survival was significantly affected by the genotypes of rs351855 but not influenced by rs1966265 and rs2011077. After adjusting for other variables in multivariable analysis, patients with rs351855 AA/AG genotypes showed significantly worse BCR-free survival than those with the GG genotype (HR?=?1.873; 95% CI, 1.209-2.901; P?=?0.005). Hence, FGFR4 rs351855 could be a novel independent prognostic factor of BCR after radical prostatectomy in the Chinese population. This functional polymorphism may also provide a basis for surveillance programs. Additional large-scale studies must be performed to validate the significance of this polymorphism in prostate cancer.

Project description:Accurate estimation of recurrence risk is needed for optimal treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We combined classical clinicopathological predictors of biochemical recurrence (BCR) and molecular markers into a new risk score for predicting BCR after radical prostatectomy (RP). A retrospective study which included 122 PCa patients who attended our department between 2000 and 2007 was conducted. Total RNA was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded PCa tissue. Gene expression patterns were analyzed in 21 selected samples from 7 localized, 6 locally advanced, and 8 metastatic PCa patients using Illumina microarrays. Expression levels of 41 genes were validated by quantitative PCR in an independent retrospective series of 101 patients with ≥ 10 years follow-up who underwent RP for clinically localized PCa. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify individual predictors of BCR. A risk score (RS) for predicting BCR including clinicopathological and gene expression data was developed and Kaplan-Meier curves were generated. Interaction networks between the genes of the model were built by GeneMANIA Cytoscape plugin. In a median follow-up of 120 months (range 3-190), 37 patients developed BCR (36.6%). Expression levels of 7,930 transcripts differed between clinically localized and locally advanced-metastatic PCa groups (FDR<0.1). A set of 41 genes were validated by quantitative PCR. Regression analysis showed that expression of ASF1B and MCL1 as well as Gleason score, extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle invasion and positive margins were independent prognostic factors of BCR. A RS generated using these gene expression and clinicopathological variables was able to discriminate between two groups of patients with a significantly different probability of BCR (HR 6.24; CI 3.23-12.4, p<0.01), improving the individual discriminative performance of each of these variables on their own. Direct interactions between the two genes of the model were not found. In conclusion, identification of new gene expression patterns associated with a high probability of BCR in clinically localized PCa patients treated with RP, and their combination with clinicopathological variables in a robust, easy-to-use and reliable classifier may contribute to improve PCa risk stratification and, consequently, to tailor treatment and surveillance strategies in these patients.

Project description:The objective of this study was to utilize a microarray platform to determine the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in prostate cancer tissue from patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and were followed for an average of 47 months. The GeneChip® miRNA Array (Affymetrix) contains more than 46,000 probes, and more than 1,100 mature human miRNAs and transcripts. An expression level higher or lower than 1.1 with a p<0.05 were considered to be differentially expressed. When tumors with a GS<7 were compared with those with a GS≥7, five miRNAs were down-regulated and nine were up-regulated. In comparing tumors from patients with PSA <10 ng/mL vs. those with PSA ≥10 ng/mL, 21 miRNAs were down-regulated and 29 were overexpressed. There was decreased expression of 21 miRNAs and increased expression of 22 miRNAs when pT2 and pT3 tumors were compared. The comparison of the expression profiles of men with vs. without recurrent disease (PSA>0.2 ng/mL) revealed that 14 miRNAs were down-regulated and 17 were up-regulated. Considering the three prognostic factors and biochemical recurrence, miR-335 was overexpressed in pT3 tumors in patients with PSA>10 ng/mL, miR-1202 was overexpressed in recurrent tumors in which PSA >10 ng/mL, and miR-885 and miR-1226 were overexpressed in recurrent pT3 tumors. Six miRNAs (miR- 361, 378, 548, 574, 652 and 892) had decreased expression in pT3 tumors in patients with PSA >10 ng/mL. miR-16 was down-regulated in recurrent pT3 tumors. miR-92 and miR-450 exhibited decreased expression in recurrent tumors in patients with PSA > 10 ng/mL. miR-28 was down-regulated in pT3 adenocarcinomas with a GS ≥ 7. The differentially expressed miRNAs in recurrent tumors were validated using qRT-PCR in 74 additional specimens. miR-21 was overexpressed in recurrent tumors, and in the Cox model, expression levels higher than 0.64 were indicative of biochemical recurrence with a risk of 2.4. These results, which were based on clinical specimens from patients treated in a standardized way and followed for an average of 47 months, provide an initial understanding of the role of miRNAs in prostatecancer progression; the foremost representative is miR-21, which has been implicated in the progression of various human cancers.

Fifty-three patients underwent a radical prostatectomy performed by the same surgeon (MS) to treat localized PC between August 2000 and June 2002. The mean age was 65 years (SD: 7.5, range: 49 - 77). The mean Gleason score was 7 (SD: 1.1, range: 5 - 10); 15 tumors had a score of 5 or 6, and 38 had a score between 7 and 10. Twenty-four (45.3%) of the patients had pT2 tumors, and 29 (54.7%) had pT3 tumors. The control group consisted of three patients with lower urinary tract symptoms, a mean age of 55.3 years and a diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who consented to open surgery.

Project description:Background: Biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy indicates poor prognosis in patients with prostate cancer (PCA). DNA methylation (DNAm) is a critical factor in tumorigenesis and has attracted attention as a biomarker for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of PCA. However, the predictive value of DNAm-derived differentially expressed genes (DMGs) in PCA with BCR remains elusive. Methods: We filtered the methylated genes and the differentially expressed genes (DGEs) for more than 1,000 clinical samples from the TCGA cohort using the chAMP and DESeq2 packages of R language, respectively. Next, we integrated the DNAm beta value and gene expression data with the Mithymix package of R language to obtain the DMGs. Then, 1,000 times Cox LASSO regression with 10-fold cross validation was performed to screen signature DMGs and establish a predictive classifier. Univariate and multivariate cox regressive analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors to build a predictive model, and its performance was measured by receiver operating characteristic, calibration curves, and Harrell's concordance index (C-index). Additionally, a GEO dataset was used to validate the prognostic classifier. Results: One hundred DMGs were mined using the chAMP and Methymix packages of R language. Of these, seven DMGs (CCK, CD38, CYP27A1, EID3, HABP2, LRRC4, and LY6G6D) were identified to build the prognostic classifier (Classifier) through LASSO analysis. Moreover, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis determined that the Classifier and pathological T stage (pathological_T) were independent predictors of BCR (hazard ratio (HR 2.2), (95% CI 1.4-3.5), p < 0.0012, and (HR 1.8), (95% CI 1.0-3.2), p < 0.046). A nomogram based on the Classifier was constructed, with high prediction accuracy for BCR-free survival in TCGA and GEO datasets. GSEA enrichment analysis showed that the DMGs were mainly enriched in the metabolism pathways. Conclusion: We identified and validated the nomogram of BCR-free survival for PCA patients, which has the potential to guide treatment decisions for patients at differing risks of BCR. Our study deepens the understanding of DMGs in the pathogenesis of PCA.
