Comprehensive Analysis of BAP1 Somatic Mutation in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma to Explore Potential Mechanisms in Silico.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) somatic mutation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and explore potential therapeutic pathways and molecules. Patients and methods: In this study, we analyzed 445 ccRCC cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Comprehensive analysis including survival, transcriptome and methylation between BAP1 mutated and wild-type cases was performed using bioinformatics tools in silico. Pathways and molecules related to BAP1 mutation were analyzed using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Results: BAP1 mutated ccRCC patients had a worse overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) than BAP1 wild-type patients. We found 583 up-regulated and 1216 down-regulated different expressed genes (DEGs) in BAP1 mutated tumors. Up-regulated DEGs were enriched in molecular functions and biological processes like protein binding, protein transport and ubiquitin protein ligase binding. Down-regulated DEGs were enriched in pathways like Rap1 signaling pathway, Notch pathway and altered molecular functions like metal ion binding and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Furthermore, CAD, TSPO, CTNNB1 and MAPK3 were top hub genes selected using PPI network analysis. Finally, BAP1 mutation had a strong correlation with CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Conclusion: Our study provides a comprehensive understanding of BAP1 functional somatic mutation in ccRCC patients. Several hub genes like CAD and TSPO may become potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most prevalent histologic subtype of kidney cancers in adults, which could be divided into two distinct subgroups according to the BRCA1 associated protein-1 (BAP1) mutation status. In the current study, we comprehensively analyzed the genome-wide microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in ccRCC, with the aim to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs between BAP1 mutant and wild-type tumors, and generate a BAP1 mutation-specific miRNA signature for ccRCC patients with wild-type BAP1. Methods: The BAP1 mutation status and miRNA profiles in BAP1 mutant and wild-type tumors were analyzed. Subsequently, the association of the differentially expressed miRNAs with patient survival was examined, and a BAP1 mutation-specific miRNA signature was generated and examined with Kaplan-Meier survival, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Finally, the bioinformatics methods were adopted for the target prediction of selected miRNAs and functional annotation analyses. Results: A total of 350 treatment-naïve primary ccRCC patients were selected from The Cancer Genome Atlas project, among which 35 (10.0%) subjects carried mutant BAP1 and had a shorter overall survival (OS) time. Furthermore, 33 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed between BAP1 mutant and wild-type tumors, among which 11 (miR-149, miR-29b-2, miR-182, miR-183, miR-21, miR-365-2, miR-671, miR-365-1, miR-10b, miR-139, and miR-181a-2) were significantly associated with OS in ccRCC patients with wild-type BAP1. Finally, a BAP1 mutation-specific miRNA signature consisting of 11 miRNAs was generated and validated as an independent prognostic parameter. Conclusions: In summary, our study identified a total of 33 miRNAs differentially expressed between BAP1 mutant and wild-type tumors, and generated a BAP1 mutation-specific miRNA signature including eleven miRNAs, which could serve as a novel prognostic biomarker for ccRCC patients with wild-type BAP1.
