A Plasma Long Noncoding RNA Signature for Early Detection of Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The early detection of lung cancer is a major clinical challenge. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have important functions in tumorigenesis. Plasma lncRNAs directly released from primary tumors or the circulating cancer cells might provide cell-free cancer biomarkers. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the lncRNAs could be used as plasma biomarkers for early-stage lung cancer. By using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction, we determined the diagnostic performance of 26 lung cancer-associated lncRNAs in plasma of a development cohort of 63 lung cancer patients and 33 cancer-free individuals, and a validation cohort of 39 lung cancer patients and 28 controls. In the development cohort, 7 of the 26 lncRNAs were reliably measured in plasma. Two (SNHG1 and RMRP) displayed a considerably high plasma level in lung cancer patients vs. cancer-free controls (all P < .001). Combined use of the plasma lncRNAs as a biomarker signature produced 84.13% sensitivity and 87.88% specificity for diagnosis of lung cancer, independent of stage and histological type of lung tumor, and patients' age and sex (all P > .05). The diagnostic value of the plasma lncRNA signature for lung cancer early detection was confirmed in the validation cohort. The plasma lncRNA signature may provide a potential blood-based assay for diagnosing lung cancer at the early stage. Nevertheless, a prospective study is warranted to validate its clinical value.

A plasma miRNA signature for lung cancer early detection.

Project description:The early detection of lung cancer continues to be a major clinical challenge. Using whole-transcriptome next-generation sequencing to analyze lung tumor and the matched noncancerous tissues, we previously identified 54 lung cancer-associated microRNAs (miRNAs). The objective of this study was to investigate whether the miRNAs could be used as plasma biomarkers for lung cancer. We determined expressions of the lung tumor-miRNAs in plasma of a development cohort of 180 subjects by using reverse transcription PCR to develop biomarkers. The development cohort included 92 lung cancer patients and 88 cancer-free smokers. We validated the biomarkers in a validation cohort of 64 individuals comprising 34 lung cancer patients and 30 cancer-free smokers. Of the 54 miRNAs, 30 displayed a significant different expression level in plasma of the lung cancer patients vs. cancer-free controls (all P < 0.05). A plasma miRNA signature (miRs-126, 145, 210, and 205-5p) with the best prediction was developed, producing 91.5% sensitivity and 96.2% specificity for lung cancer detection. Diagnostic performance of the plasma miRNA signature had no association with stage and histological type of lung tumor, and patients' age, sex, and ethnicity (all p > 0.05). The plasma miRNA signature was reproducibly confirmed in the validation cohort. The plasma miRNA signature may provide a blood-based assay for diagnosing lung cancer at the early stage, and thereby reduce the associated mortality and cost.

A seven-long noncoding RNA signature predicts overall survival for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common cancer and cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Increasing evidence suggested that the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were involved in cancer-related death. To explore the possible prognostic lncRNA biomarkers for NSCLC patients, in the present study, we conducted a comprehensive lncRNA profiling analysis based on 1902 patients from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. In the discovery phase, we employed 682 patients from the combination of four GEO datasets (GSE30219, GSE31546, GSE33745 and GSE50081) and conducted a seven-lncRNA formula to predict overall survival (OS). Next, we validated our risk-score formula in two independent datasets, TCGA (n=994) and GSE31210 (n=226). Stratified analysis revealed that the seven-lncRNA signature was significantly associated with OS in stage I patients from both discovery and validation groups (all P<0.001). Additionally, the prognostic value of the seven-lncRNA signature was also found to be favorable in patients carrying wild-type KRAS or EGFR. Bioinformatical analysis suggested that the seven-lncRNA signature affected patients' prognosis by influencing cell cycle-related pathways. In summary, our findings revealed a seven-lncRNA signature that predicted OS of NSCLC patients, especially in those with early tumor stage and carrying wild-type KRAS or EGFR.

An integromic signature for lung cancer early detection.

Project description:We previously developed three microRNAs (miRs-21, 210, and 486-5p), two long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) (SNHG1 and RMRP), and two fucosyltransferase (FUT) genes (FUT8 and POFUT1) as potential plasma biomarkers for lung cancer. However, the diagnostic performance of the individual panels is not sufficient to be used in the clinics. Given the heterogeneity of lung tumors developed from multifactorial molecular aberrations, we determine whether integrating the different classes of molecular biomarkers can improve diagnosis of lung cancer. By using droplet digital PCR, we analyze expression of the seven genes in plasma of a development cohort of 64 lung cancer patients and 33 cancer-free individuals. The panels of three miRNAs (miRs-21, 210, and 486-5p), two lncRNAs (SNHG1 and RMRP), and two FUTs (FUT8 and POFUT1) have a sensitivity of 81-86% and a specificity of 84-87% for diagnosis of lung cancer. From the seven genes, an integromic plasma signature comprising miR-210, SNHG1, and FUT8 is developed that produces higher sensitivity (95.45%) and specificity (96.97%) compared with the individual biomarker panels (all p<0.05). The diagnostic value of the signature was confirmed in a validation cohort of 40 lung cancer patients and 29 controls, independent of stage and histological type of lung tumor, and patients' age, sex, and smoking status (all p>0.05). The integration of the different categories of biomarkers might improve diagnosis of lung cancer.

Plasma MicroRNA Signature Validation for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Specific microRNA (miRNA) signatures in biological fluids can facilitate earlier detection of the tumors being then minimally invasive diagnostic biomarkers. Circulating miRNAs have also emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. In this study, we investigated the performance of a specific signature of miRNA in plasma samples to design a robust predictive model that can distinguish healthy individuals from those with CRC or advanced adenomas (AA) diseases. METHODS:Case control study of 297 patients from 8 Spanish centers including 100 healthy individuals, 101 diagnosed with AA, and 96 CRC cases. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription was used to quantify a signature of miRNA (miRNA19a, miRNA19b, miRNA15b, miRNA29a, miRNA335, and miRNA18a) in plasma samples. Binary classifiers (Support Vector Machine [SVM] linear, SVM radial, and SVM polynomial) were built for the best predictive model. RESULTS:Area under receiving operating characteristic curve of 0.92 (95% confidence interval 0.871-0.962) was obtained retrieving a model with a sensitivity of 0.85 and specificity of 0.90, positive predictive value of 0.94, and negative predictive value of 0.76 when advanced neoplasms (CRC and AA) were compared with healthy individuals. CONCLUSIONS:We identified and validated a signature of 6 miRNAs (miRNA19a, miRNA19b, miRNA15b, miRNA29a, miRNA335, and miRNA18a) as predictors that can differentiate significantly patients with CRC and AA from those who are healthy. However, large-scale validation studies in asymptomatic screening participants should be conducted.

Combined eight-long noncoding RNA signature: a new risk score predicting prognosis in elderly non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Project description:The elderly are the majority of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Compared to the overall population's predictive guidance, an effective predictive guidance for elderly patients can better guide patients' postoperative treatment and improve overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Recently, the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been found to play an important role in predicting tumor prognosis. To identify potential lncRNAs to predict survival in elderly patients with NSCLC, in the present study, we chose 456 elderly patients with NSCLC and analyzed differentially expressed lncRNAs from four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE30219, GSE31546, GSE37745 and GSE50081). We then constructed an eight-lncRNA formula to predict elderly patients' prognosis in NSCLC. Furthermore, we validated the prognostic values of the new risk model in two independent datasets, TCGA (n=670) and GSE31210 (n=130). Our data suggested a significant association between risk model and patients' prognosis. Finally, stratification analysis further revealed the eight-lncRNA signature was an independent factor to predict OS and DFS in stage I elderly patients from both the discovery and validation groups. Functional prediction revealed that 8 lncRNAs have potential effects on tumor immune processes such as lymphocyte activation and TNF production in NSCLC. In summary, our data provides evidence that the eight-lncRNA signature could serve as an independent biomarker to predict prognosis in elderly patients with NSCLC especially in elderly stage I patients.

Transcriptome sequencing uncovers a three-long noncoding RNA signature in predicting breast cancer survival.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in tumorigenesis. The aim of this study is to identify lncRNA signature that can predict breast cancer patient survival. RNA expression data from 1064 patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas project. Cox regression, Kaplan-Meier, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to construct a model for predicting the overall survival (OS) of patients and evaluate it. A model consisting of three lncRNA genes (CAT104, LINC01234, and STXBP5-AS1) was identified. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and ROC curves proved that the model could predict the prognostic survival with good sensitivity and specificity in both the validation set (AUC?=?0.752, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.651-0.854) and the microarray dataset (AUC?=?0.714, 95%CI: 0.615-0.814). Further study showed the three-lncRNA signature was not only pervasive in different breast cancer stages, subtypes and age groups, but also provides more accurate prognostic information than some widely known biomarkers. The results suggested that RNA-seq transcriptome profiling provides that the three-lncRNA signature is an independent prognostic biomarker, and have clinical significance. In addition, lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA interaction network indicated lncRNAs may intervene in breast cancer pathogenesis by binding to miR-190b, acting as competing endogenous RNAs.

A Combined Long Noncoding RNA Signature as a Candidate Prognostic Biomarker for Ovarian Cancer.

Project description:AimsDysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) contributing to ovarian cancer (OC) development may serve as prognostic biomarker. We aimed to explore a lncRNA signature to serve as prognostic biomarker of OC.MethodsUnivariate Cox regression was conducted on the lncRNA expression dataset from the TCGA cohort, and 246 genes significantly associated with survival were retained for building a model. A random forest survival model was carried out, and a model was developed using 6 genes with the highest frequency. The selected genes were applied in a Cox multivariate regression model for prognostic prediction by calculating the risk score. We also used CCK-8, EdU, and colony formation assays to validate the function of these lncRNAs in OC cells.ResultsThis study confirmed that the 6-lncRNA combined signature was related to OC prognosis. Systematic analysis demonstrated that lncRNA-associated genes were enriched in oncogenic signalling pathways. Five out of the 6 lncRNAs participated in OC proliferation.ConclusionWe established a 6-lncRNA combined signature for OC prognosis, which may serve as powerful prognostic biomarker for OC after further validation.

Project description:PurposeColorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant primary tumors, prone to metastasis, and associated with a poor prognosis. As autophagy is closely related to the development and treatment of colorectal cancer, we investigated the potential prognostic value of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) associated with autophagy in colorectal cancer.MethodsIn this study, we acquired information on the expression of lncRNAs in colorectal cancer from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and found that 860 lncRNAs were associated with autophagy-related genes. Subsequently, univariate Cox regression analysis was used to investigate 32 autophagy-related lncRNAs linked to colon cancer prognosis. Subsequently, eight of the 32 autophagy-related lncRNAs (i.e., long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 1503 [LINC01503], ZEB1 antisense RNA 1 [ZEB1-AS1], AC087481.3, AC008760.1, AC073896.3, AL138756.1, AL022323.1, and TNFRSF10A-AS1) were selected through multivariate Cox regression analysis. Based on these autophagy-related lncRNAs, a risk signature was constructed, and the patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups.ResultsThe high-risk group's overall survival time was significantly shorter than that of the low-risk group (p < 0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to further confirm the validity of the model (area under the curve: 0.689). Moreover, multivariate regression suggested that the risk score was a significant prognostic risk factor in colorectal cancer. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that these gene sets are significantly enriched in cancer-related pathways, such as Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) signaling.ConclusionThe risk signature of eight autophagy-related lncRNAs has prognostic potential for colorectal cancer. These autophagy-related lncRNAs may play a vital role in the biology of colorectal cancer.

Long Noncoding RNA SBF2-AS1 Is Critical for Tumorigenesis of Early-Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Emerging evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are deeply involved in the development of various cancers. This study identified that SBF2-AS1, an early-stage-specific lncRNA, is critical for the tumorigenesis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We first analyzed LUAD transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the GEO database by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Five early LUAD-specific lncRNAs were filtered out, and only SBF2-AS1 was upregulated in LUAD. High expression of SBF2-AS1 indicates poor survival of LUAD, especially the early-stage LUAD, but not lung squamous cell carcinoma. SBF2-AS1 promotes LUAD cells proliferation in vitro, and RNA-sequencing data shows that many cell-cycle-related genes were downregulated after SBF2-AS1 knockdown. Mechanically, SBF2-AS1 could competitively bind with miR-338-3p and miR-362-3p to increase E2F1 expression. Finally, we show that the SBF2-AS1-miR-338-3p/362-3p-E2F1 axis could promote LUAD tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Our study demonstrates that SBF2-AS1, an early-stage-specific lncRNA, promotes LUAD tumorigenesis by sponging miR-338-3p and miR-362-3p and increasing E2F1 expression. The SBF2-AS1-miR-338-3p/362-3p-E2F1 regulatory axis may serve as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for LUAD.
