Function of low ADARB1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Adenosine deaminase RNA-specific B1 (ADARB1), an adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA-editing enzyme, has been found to play an essential role in the development of cancer. However, the specific function of ADARB1 in lung cancer, especially in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), is still not fully understood and requires further study. In our study, integrative bioinformatics were used to analyze the detailed function of ADARB1 in LUAD. By conducting bioinformatics analyses of several public databases, such as Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), GE-mini, and Oncomine, we found significantly decreased ADARB1 expression in LUAD cells and tissues. Moreover, RT-PCR and Western blot showed lower ADARB1 expression in H358 and A549 LUAD cells compared to human bronchial epithelial Beas-2B cells. Wound Healing Assay indicated that knockdown ADARB1 could promote LUAD cell metastasis. By using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter tool, we found that downregulation of ADARB1 was related to shorter first progression (FP), overall survival time (OS) and post-progression survival time (PPS). The relevant clinical data acquired from the Wanderer database indicated that the expression and methylation values of ADARB1 were significantly associated with the clinical characteristics of LUAD. Using DNA methylation inhibitor, we found DNMT inhibitor 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-azaD) could promote the expression of ADARB1 and reverse the inhibition effect of ADARB1 in migration. In addition, functional enrichment analysis of ADARB1-associated coexpression genes was further conducted. Our investigation demonstrated that low levels of ADARB1 were specifically found in LUAD, and this gene might be a potential target in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of LUAD patients.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin 6 (IL6) is both a pleiotropic cytokine and an immune-related gene. Interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R) is the receptor for IL6. It may be closely connected to the development of lung cancer. This research aims to explore the prognostic value of IL6R and prevent overtreatment of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).MethodsIn this study, the expression of IL6R in tumor tissues and surrounding tissues was first analyzed by immunohistochemistry in the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (NTU) cohort. Secondly, we downloaded information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) for the TCGA cohort and used this information to explore the messenger RNA (mRNA) level of IL6R. We then used Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, univariate and multivariate Cox analyses, nomogram models, and decision curve analyses to assess the prognostic value of IL6R. In addition, we also analyzed immune cell infiltration and the signaling pathways related to IL6R through Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).ResultsThrough the data analysis of the NTU cohort and the TCGA cohort, it was found that the expression of IL6R in normal tissues around the tumor was higher than that in tumor tissue, and was positively correlated with the overall survival (OS) of LUAD patients. Additionally, low expression of IL6R was found to be an independent predictor of poor prognosis among the patients in these two research cohorts. Next, using GO, KEGG, and GSEA analyses, we found that partially infiltrated tumor immune cells might be related to earlier staging and better prognosis of patients with LUAD. Finally, the study of the 3-5-year survival rate of LUAD patients through the nomogram showed that the expression of IL6R could improve the accuracy of prediction to prevent the overtreatment of some LUAD patients.ConclusionsIn summary, our study indicated that the low expression of IL6R was associated with poor prognosis among LUAD patients and that low expression of IL6R is a potential independent risk factor that could provide a basis for strengthening postoperative classification management of such patients.
