Long-term validation of a molecular progression-associated gene classifier for prediction of muscle invasion in primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study reported a clinically applicable prognostic gene classifier for primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The present study aimed to perform long-term validation of this classifier in the prediction of muscle-invasive disease. Previously published gene expression profiles were used from 176 patients with NMIBC with extended follow-up. Progression was defined as development of muscle invasion or metastasis, and the progression risk score was calculated using the previously developed eight-gene progression classifier. During median follow-up of 72.8 (interquartile range, 37.0-118.7) months, 26 (14.8%) patients progressed to muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The molecular progression risk score was significantly associated with clinicopathological variables, including tumor number, stage, grade and multivariate risk assessment tools (P<0.05 in each case). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that molecular progression risk score was an independent predictor of development of invasive tumor, either as a continuous variable [hazard ratio (HR), 1.489; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.216-1.823; P<0.001] or as a categorical variable (HR, 5.026; 95% CI, 1.619-15.608; P=0.005). In conclusion, the present results confirmed the clinical utility of the progression-associated gene classifier for prediction of development of muscle invasion in NMIBC. The molecular progression risk score may aid in selecting patients who could benefit from more aggressive therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Purpose: We aimed to develop and validate a novel gene signature from published data and improve the prediction of survival in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Methods: We searched the published gene signatures associated with the overall survival (OS) of MIBC and compiled all 274 genes to develop a novel gene signature. RNAseq data of TCGA (the Cancer Genome Atlas) bladder cohort were downloaded. All genes were included in a univariate Cox hazard ratio model. We then used a reduced multivariate Cox regression model, which included only genes achieving P < 0.05 in the univariate model. A total of 172 patients at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) and 61 patients from GEO datasets were used as an external validation set. Results: A total of 327 patients in the TCGA cohort were enrolled. We identified 274 genes from eight published papers on the OS of MIBC. Using the TCGA database, we identified 12 genes that correlated with OS (P < 0.05 in both univariate and multivariate analyses). By integrating these genes with the RT-qPCR data in our validation dataset and GEO datasets, we confirmed that the power for predicting OS of the 12-gene panel (AUC of 0.741 and 0.727, respectively) was higher than just clinical data (including gender, age, T stage, grade, and N stage) alone in the TCGA and FUSCC cohort (AUC of 0.667 and 0.631, respectively). Additionally, upon combining the clinical data and 12-gene panel together, the AUC increased to 0.768, 0.757, and 0.88 in the TCGA, FUSCC and GSE13507 cohorts, respectively. Conclusions: Applying published gene signatures and TCGA data, we successfully built and externally validated a novel 12-gene signature for the survival of MIBC.Brief explanationWe systemically reviewed all published prognostic gene signatures of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and integrated the genes in the TCGA MIBC cohort. This new gene panel was validated in a newly established MIBC cohort in GEO and FUSCC. This method can help update the previous established panels in a new way.
