S100 family genes encode low molecular weight, acidic-Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding proteins implicating in a wide spectrum of biological processes. S100 family contains at least 20 members, most of which are frequently dysregulated in human malignancies including breast cancer. However, the prognostic roles of each individual S100, especially the mRNA level, in breast cancer patients remain elusive. In the current study, we used "The Kaplan-Meier plotter" (KM plotter) database to investigate the prog ...[more]

Project description:IntroductionAquaporins (AQPs), also called water channels, have been shown to have functions in the migration, invasion, and proliferation of human breast tumor cells. Most AQP mRNA expression levels were tested by cell lines, mouse models, and even human breast tissues. However, the mRNA expression of individual AQPs in different clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic values according to different kinds of classifications of breast cancer patients remains unclear.Materials and methodsIn the current study, we used the Oncomine database, Breast cancer Gene-Expression Miner v4.1, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, and cBioPortal to investigate the expression distribution and prognostic values of AQPs in breast cancer patients.ResultsOur study revealed that the mRNA expression levels of AQP8, AQP9, and AQP10 were upregulated, while those of AQP3, AQP4, AQP5, and AQP7 were downregulated in breast cancer. The clinical database showed that lower mRNA levels of AQP1 were associated with a high Scarff-Bloom-Richardson grade, but AQP9 showed the opposite trend. Further survival analyses indicated that high mRNA expression levels of AQP0, AQP1, AQP2, AQP4, AQP6, AQP8, AQP10, and AQP11 were significantly associated with better relapse-free survival (RFS). Conversely, AQP3 and AQP9 were associated with worse RFS in breast cancer patients, suggesting that these two genes might be potential targets in future chemotherapy.DiscussionThese significant AQP members might be further explored as new biomarkers for breast cancer prognosis, but this needs further study.

Project description:Objective: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a common malignant tumor worldwide. S100 family (S100s) is wildly involved in regulating the occurrence, development, invasion, metastasis, apoptosis, and drug resistance of many malignant tumors. However, the expression pattern, prognostic value, and oncological role of individual S100s members in PAAD need to be elucidated. Methods: The transcriptional expression levels of S100s were analyzed through the Oncomine and GEPIA, respectively. The protein levels of S100s members in PAAD were studied by Human Protein Atlas. The correlation between S100 mRNA expression and overall survival and tumor stage in PAAD patients was studied by GEPIA. The transcriptional expression correlation and gene mutation rate of S100s members in PAAD patients were explored by cBioPortal. The co-expression networks of S100s are identified using STRING and Gene MANIA to predict their potential functions. The correlation of S100s expression and tumor-infiltrating immune cells was tested by TIMER. Pathway activity and drug target analyzed by GSCALite. Results: 13 S100s members were upregulated in PAAD tissues. 15 S100s members were associated with TP53 mutation. Expression levels of S100A3/A5/A6/A10/A11/A14/A16/B/P/Z were significantly correlated with the pathological stage. Prognosis analysis demonstrated that PAAD patients with low mRNA levels of S100A1/B/Z or high levels of S100A2/A3/A5/A10/A11/A14/A16 had a poor prognosis. Immuno-infiltration analysis showed that the mRNA levels of S100A10/A11/A14/A16 were correlated with the infiltration degree of macrophages in PAAD. Drug sensitivity analysis showed that PAAD expressing high levels of S100A2/A6/A10/A11/A13/A14/A16 maybe resistant to small molecule drugs. Conclusion: This study identifies the clinical significance and biological functions of the S100s in PAAD, which may provide novel insights for the selection of prognostic biomarkers.

Project description:Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzymes have been reported as a potential diagnostic marker for pancreatic cancer, but their prognostic value in pancreatic cancer remains unclear. The aim of this investigation was to identify the prognostic value of ADH genes in human patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD).An RNA sequencing dataset and corresponding survival profiles of PAAD were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Survival analysis and gene set enrichment analysis were used to investigate the prediction value and potential mechanism of ADH genes in PAAD prognosis.Survival analysis of ADH genes suggests that a high expression of ADH1A (adjusted P=0.037, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] =0.627, 95% CI =0.404-0.972) and ADH6 (adjusted P=0.018, adjusted HR =0.588, 95% CI =0.378-0.914) were associated with a significantly decreased risk of death, while a high expression of ADH5 was associated with a significantly increased risk of death (adjusted P=0.043, adjusted HR =1.564, 95% CI =1.013-2.414). Joint effects analysis of three ADH gene prognostic markers suggests that the prognosis difference for any marker combination was more significant than that for any individual marker. The potential mechanism of ADH1A and ADH6 in PAAD prognosis was that a high expression of ADH1A and ADH6 was involved in the P450 pathway and biological processes, while high ADH5 expression was involved in transforming growth factor β regulation-related pathways and biological processes, Wnt, the cell cycle, ErbB, and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways.Our data suggest that ADH1A, ADH5, and ADH6 expression may be potential prognostic markers of PAAD and in combination have a strong interaction and better predictive value for PAAD prognosis.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Exhibiting high consistence in sequence and structure, S100 family members are interchangeable in function and they show a wide spectrum of biological processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, migration, inflammation and differentiation and the like. While the prognostic value of each individual S100 in ovarian cancer is still elusive. In current study, we investigated the prognostic value of S100 family members in the ovarian cancer. METHODS:We used the Kaplan Meier plotter (KM plotter) database, in which updated gene expression data and survival information are from 1657 ovarian cancer patients, to assess the relevance of individual S100 family mRNA expression to overall survival in various ovarian cancer subtypes and different clinicopathological features. RESULTS:It was found that high expression of S100A2 (HR?=?1.18, 95%CI: 1.04-1.34, P?=?0.012), S100A7A (HR?=?1.3, 95%CI: 1.04-1.63, P?=?0.02),S100A10 (HR?=?1.2, 95%CI: 1.05-1.38, P?=?0.0087),and S100A16 (HR?=?1.23, 95%CI: 1-1.51, P?=?0.052) were significantly correlated with worse OS in all ovarian cancer patients, while the expression of S100A1 (HR?=?0.87, 95%CI: 0.77-0.99, P?=?0.039), S100A3 (HR?=?0.83, 95%CI: 0.71-0.96, P?=?0.0011), S100A5 (HR?=?0.84, 95%CI: 0.73-0.97, P?=?0.017), S100A6 (HR?=?0.84, 95%CI: 0.72-0.98, P?=?0.024), S100A13 (HR?=?0.85, 95%CI:0.75-0.97, P?=?0.014) and S100G (HR?=?0.86, 95%CI: 0.74-0.99, P?=?0.041) were associated with better prognosis. Furthermore, we assessed the prognostic value of S100 expression in different subtypes and the clinicopathological features, including pathological grades, clinical stages and TP53 mutation status, of ovarian cancer patients. CONCLUSION:Comprehensive understanding of the S100 family members may have guiding significance for the diagnosis and outcome of ovarian cancer patients.

Project description:Chromobox (CBX) family proteins are canonical components in polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1), with epigenetic regulatory function and transcriptionally repressing target genes via chromatin modification. A plethora of studies have highlighted the function specifications among CBX family members in various cancer, including lung cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer. Nevertheless, the functions and prognostic roles of distinct CBX family members in breast cancer (BC) remain elusive. In this study, we reported the prognostic values of CBX family members in patients with BC through analysis of a series of databases, including CCLE, ONCOMINE, Xena Public Data Hubs, and Kaplan-Meier plotter. It was found that the mRNA expression of CBX family members were noticeably higher in BC than normal counterparts. CBX2 was highly expressed in Basal-like and HER-2 subtypes, while CBX4 and CBX7 expressions were enriched in Luminal A and Luminal B subtypes of BC. Survival analysis revealed that CBX1, CBX2 and CBX3 mRNA high expression was correlated to worsen relapse-free survival (RFS) for all BC patients, while CBX4, CBX5, CBX6 and CBX7 high expression was correlated to better RFS in this setting. Noteworthily, CBX1 and CBX2 were associated with chemoresistance whereas CBX7 was associated with tamoxifen sensitivity, as well as chemosensitivity in breast tumors. Therefore, we propose that CBX1, CBX2 and CBX7 are potential targets for BC treatment. The results might be beneficial for better understanding the complexity and heterogeneity in the molecular underpinning of BC, and to develop tools to more accurately predict the prognosis of patients with BC.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is the second most frequent cause of cancer-related mortality in the world, with Eastern Asia having the highest incidence rates. E2F is a family of transcription factor proteins that has a variety of functions, which include control of cell cycle, cell differentiation, DNA damage response and cell death. E2F transcription factors are divided into two subfamilies: transcription activators (E2F transcription factors 1 (E2F1), 2 (E2F2) and 3a (E2F3a)) and repressors (E2F3b, E2F transcription factors 4 (E2F4), 5 (E2F5), 6 (E2F6), 7 (E2F7) and 8 (E2F8)). Studies have demonstrated that E2F had prognostic significance in a number of cancers. However, the entirety of the prognostic roles of E2F mRNA expression in GC has not yet been apparently determined. In the present study, the prognostic value of individual family members of E2F mRNA expression for overall survival (OS) was evaluated by using online Kaplan-Meier Plotter (KM Plotter) database. Our result demonstrated that high expressions of three family members of E2F (E2F1, E2F3, E2F4) mRNA were significantly associated with unfavourable OS in all GC patients. However, increased expressions of E2F2, E2F5, E2F6 and E2F7 were significantly associated with favourable OS, especially for higher clinical stages in GC patients. These results provided a better insight into the prognostic functions of E2F mRNA genes in GC. Although the results should be further verified in clinical trials, our findings may be a favourable prognostic predictor for the development of newer therapeutic drugs in the treatment of GC.

Project description:Background: Inhibitory κB kinases (IKKs) play a key role in modulating proinflammatory and growth stimulating signals through their regulation of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) cascade. Therefore, the level of expression of IKKs represents a viable prognostic predictor with regard to various pathological processes. The prognostic value of IKKs expression in gastric cancer remains unclear. Methods: We used the 'Kaplan-Meier plotter' (KM plotter) online database, to explore the predictive prognostic value of individual IKKs members' mRNA expression to overall survival (OS) in different clinical data including pathological staging, histology, and therapies employed. Results: Our results revealed that a higher mRNA expression of inhibitor of NF-κB kinase subunit α (IKKα) was correlated to better OS, whereas higher mRNA expression of IKKβ, inhibitor of NF-κB kinase subunit γ (IKKγ), inhibitor of NF-κB kinase subunit ε (IKKε), and suppressor of IKKε (SIKE) were generally correlated to unfavorable OS in gastric cancer. Increased mRNA expression of IKKε also showed better outcomes in stage IV gastric cancer. Further a correlation between elevated levels of mRNA expression of both IKKε and SIKE was found to have favorable OS in diffuse type gastric cancer. It was also revealed that high expression of SIKE had favorable OS when treated with other adjuvant therapies, while worse OS when treated only with 5FU therapy. Conclusion: Our results suggest that mRNA expression of individual IKKs and SIKE are associated with unique prognostic significance and may act as valuable prognostic biomarkers and potential targets for future therapeutic interventions in gastric cancer.

Project description:The replication protein A (RPA)1-4 family are single-stranded DNA-binding proteins that are essential components of DNA replication, repair and recombination, and cell cycle regulation. The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the RPA family members in patients with gastric cancer (GC), using datasets retrieved from the Oncomine public database. Datasets were retrieved for the purpose of comparing the RPA expression levels between GC and normal tissues. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the overall survival (OS) times of GC patients that expressed different levels of RPA proteins. RPA1, 2, and 3 expression levels were all significantly upregulated in gastric intestinal-type, diffuse gastric, and gastric mixed adenocarcinomas, compared with those in normal mucosal tissues. Moreover, high mRNA expression levels of RPA3 and 4 predicted poorer OS times in all GCs, as well as patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative and -positive GC. The high-risk group, separated by RPA signature, showed a poorer outcome than the low-risk group. RPA3 was the most strongly correlated with CD4+ T-cell levels. In conclusion, RPAs are novel prognostic indicators in GC, and can also predict the features of immunological diseases. Future experimental investigation into the roles of RPAs concerning the pathogenesis and development of GC may provide a novel biomarker or therapeutic target, improving the prognosis of patients with GC.

Project description:Accumulated studies have provided controversial evidences of expression patterns and prognostic value of the GATA family in human ovarian cancer. In the present study, we accessed the distinct expression and prognostic roles of 7 individual members of GATA family in ovarian cancer (OC) patients through Oncomine analysis, CCLE analysis, Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Kaplan-Meier plotter (KM plotter) database, cBioPortal and Metascape. Our results indicated that GATA1, GATA3, GATA4 and TRPS1 mRNA and protein expression was significantly higher in OC than normal samples. High expression of GATA1, GATA2, and GATA4 were significantly correlated with better overall survival (OS), while increased GATA3 and GATA6 expression were associated with worse prognosis in OC patients. GATA1, GATA2, GATA3 and GATA6 were closely related to the different pathological histology, pathological grade, clinical stage and TP53 mutation status of OC. The genetic variation and interaction of the GATA family may be closely related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of OC, and the regulatory network composed of GATA family genes and their neighboring genes are mainly involved in Notch signaling pathway, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation and Hippo signaling pathway. Transcriptional GATA1/2/3/4/6 could be prognostic markers and potential therapeutic target for OC patients.

Project description:The "A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motif" (ADAMTS) family of genes is involved in the occurrence and development of different cancers. However, the prognostic value of these genes in gastric cancer (GC) has not been revealed. The present study was thus conducted to determine the prognostic value for the ADAMTS family of genes in GC. First, we evaluated the mRNA expression levels of the ADAMTS family in GC patients using a GEPIA dataset. Thereafter, we determined the prognostic value of these genes by analyzing their mRNA level using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database. The mRNA expression level of ADAMTS12 was randomly validated by qRT-PCR and meta-analysis while its coexpression genes were derived using Coexpedia. Finally, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses using the OmicShare Tools. Compared to normal tissues, expression of ADAMTS2 and 12 was significantly higher while that of ADAMTS1, 13, and 15 was significantly lower in GC tissues. According to the RNA-seq and gene chip data, the ADAMTS family (6, 7, 12, 15, and 18) of genes was closely related to the prognosis of GC, and their high expression levels were associated with poor prognosis and survival time. In addition, ADAMTS12 was highly expressed in 20 pairs of GC tissues based on RT-PCR (P=0.016) and meta-analysis (SMD: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.32-1.14, P < 0.001). GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that the ADAMTS12 coexpressed genes were enriched in the pathways of extracellular matrix organization, extracellular matrix structural constituent, extracellular matrix, and protein digestion and absorption. Herein, we discovered the prognostic values and biological roles of the ADAMTS genes in GC.
