Logistic regression analysis for the identification of the metastasis-associated signaling pathways of osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common histological type of primary bone cancer. The present study was designed to identify the key genes and signaling pathways involved in the metastasis of OS. Microarray data of GSE39055 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, which included 19 OS biopsy specimens before metastasis (control group) and 18 OS biopsy specimens after metastasis (case group). After the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray Analysis package, hierarchical clustering analysis and unsupervised clustering analysis were performed separately, using orange software and the self-organization map method. Based upon the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery tool and Cytoscape software, enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were conducted, respectively. After function deviation scores were calculated for the significantly enriched terms, hierarchical clustering analysis was performed using Cluster 3.0 software. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis was used to identify the terms that were significantly different. Those terms that were significantly different were validated using other independent datasets. There were 840 DEGs in the case group. There were various interactions in the PPI network [including intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1), transforming growth factor ?1 (TGFB1), TGFB1-platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGFB) and PDGFB-platelet?derived growth factor receptor-? (PDGFRB)]. Regulation of cell migration, nucleotide excision repair, the Wnt signaling pathway and cell migration were identified as the terms that were significantly different. ICAM1, PDGFB, PDGFRB and TGFB1 were identified to be enriched in cell migration and regulation of cell migration. Nucleotide excision repair and the Wnt signaling pathway were the metastasis-associated pathways of OS. In addition, ICAM1, PDGFB, PDGFRB and TGFB1, which were involved in cell migration and regulation of cell migration may affect the metastasis of OS.

Project description:Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy of the bones, and is associated with a high rate of metastasis and a poor prognosis. A tight association between the tumor microenvironment (TME) and osteosarcoma metastasis has been established. In the present study, the Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE) algorithm was applied to calculate the immune and stromal scores of patients with osteosarcoma based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. A metagene approach and deconvolution method were used to reveal distinct TME landscapes in patients with osteosarcoma. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with metastasis and immune infiltration in osteosarcoma, and a risk model was constructed using the DEGs with potential prognostic significance. Subsequently, gene set enrichment and Spearman's correlation analyses were used to delineate the biological processes associated with these prognostic biomarkers. Finally, immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis was performed to evaluate the expression levels of immune infiltrates and prognostic biomarkers in clinical osteosarcoma tissues. The results of the ESTIMATE demonstrated that patients with non-metastatic osteosarcoma presented with higher immune/stromal scores and a more favorable prognosis compared with those with metastatic osteosarcoma. The TME landscapes in patients with osteosarcoma suggested that high levels of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) may suppress metastasis. Increased numbers of CD56bright natural killer cells, immature B cells, M1 macrophages and neutrophils, and lower levels of M2 macrophages were observed in the non-metastatic tissues compared with those in the metastatic tissues. A total of 69 DEGs were identified to be associated with metastasis and immune infiltration in osteosarcoma. Of these, GATA3, LPAR5, EVI2B, RIAM and CFH exhibited prognostic potential and were highly expressed in non-metastatic osteosarcoma tissues based on the IHC analysis results. These biomarkers were involved in various immune-related biological processes and were positively associated with multiple TIICs and immune signatures. The risk model constructed using these prognostic biomarkers demonstrated high predictive accuracy for the prognosis of osteosarcoma. In conclusion, the present study proposed a five-biomarker prognostic signature for the prediction of metastasis and immune infiltration in patients with osteosarcoma.
