An integrated lncRNA, microRNA and mRNA signature to improve prognosis prediction of colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Although the outcome of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) has improved significantly, prognosis evaluation still presents challenges due to the disease heterogeneity. Increasing evidences revealed the close correlation between aberrant expression of certain RNAs and the prognosis. We envisioned that combined multiple types of RNAs into a single classifier could improve postoperative risk classification and add prognostic value to the current stage system. Firstly, differentially expressed RNAs including mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs were identified by two different algorithms. Then survival and LASSO analysis was conducted to screen survival-related DERs and build a multi-RNA-based classifier for CRC patient stratification. The prognostic value of the classifier was self-validated in the TCGA CRC cohort and further validated in an external independent set. Finally, survival receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to assess the performance of prognostic prediction. We found that the multi-RNA-based classifier consisted by 12 mRNAs, 1miRNA and 1 lncRNA, which could divide the patients into high and low risk groups with significantly different overall survival (training set: HR 2.54, 95%CI 1.67-3.87, p<0.0001; internal testing set: HR 2.54, 95%CI 1.67-3.87, p<0.0001; validation set: HR 5.02, 95% CI 2.2-11.6; p=0·0002). In addition, the classifier is not only independent of clinical features but also with a similar prognostic ability to the well-established TNM stage (AUC of ROC 0.83 versus 0.74, 95% CI = 0.608-0.824, P =0.0878). Furthermore, combination of the multi-RNA-based classifier with clinical features was a more powerful predictor of prognosis than either of the two parameters alone. In conclusion, the multi-RNA-based classifier may have important clinical implications in the selection of patients with CRC who are at high risk of mortality and add prognostic value to the current stage system.

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:BackgroundGastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and has a poor prognosis. Hypoxia is related to the poor prognosis of cancer patients. We searched for hypoxia-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to predict both overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of gastric cancer patients.MethodsWe obtained hypoxia-related lncRNA expression profiles and clinical follow-up data of patients with gastric cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Molecular Signatures Database. The patients were randomly divided into a training group, test group and combined group. The hypoxia-related prognostic signature was constructed by Lasso regression and Cox regression models, the prognoses in different groups were compared by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis, and the accuracy of the prognostic model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.ResultsA hypoxia-related prognostic signature comprising 10 lncRNAs was constructed to predict both OS and DFS in gastric cancer. In the training, test and combined groups, patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups according to the formula. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients in the high-risk group have poor prognoses, and the difference was significant in the subgroup analyses. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the predictive power of the model prediction is more accurate than that of standard benchmarks. The signature differed across Helicobacter pylori (Hp) status and T stages. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the signature is an independent risk factor for both OS and DFS. A clinically predictive nomogram combining the lncRNA signature and clinical features was constructed; the nomogram accurately predicted both OS and DFS and had high clinical application value. Weighted correlation network analysis combined with enrichment analysis showed that the primary pathways were the PI3K-Akt, JAK-STAT, and IL-17 signaling pathways. The target genes NOX4, COL8A1, and CHST1 were associated with poor prognosis in the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, Gene Expression Omnibus, and K-M Plotter databases.ConclusionsOur 10-lncRNA prognostic signature and nomogram are accurate, reliable tools for predicting both OS and DFS in gastric cancer.
