Integrative analyses of noncoding RNAs reveal the potential mechanisms augmenting tumor malignancy in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Precise noncoding RNA (ncRNA)-based network prediction is necessary to reveal ncRNA functions and pathological mechanisms. Here, we established a systemic pipeline to identify prognostic ncRNAs, predict their functions and explore their pathological mechanisms in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). After in silico and experimental validation based on evaluations of prognostic value in multiple LUAD cohorts, we selected the PTTG3P pseudogene from among other prognostic ncRNAs (MIR497HG, HSP078, TBX5-AS1, LOC100506990 and C14orf64) for mechanistic studies. PTTG3P upregulation in LUAD cells shortens the metaphase to anaphase transition in mitosis, increases cell viability after cisplatin or paclitaxel treatment, facilitates tumor growth that leads to poor survival in orthotopic lung models, and is associated with a poor survival rate in LUAD patients in the TCGA cohort who received chemotherapy. Mechanistically, PTTG3P acts as an ncRNA that interacts with the transcription factor FOXM1 to regulate the transcriptional activation of the mitotic checkpoint kinase BUB1B, which augments tumor growth and chemoresistance and leads to poor outcomes for LUAD patients. Overall, we established a systematic strategy to uncover prognostic ncRNAs with functional prediction methods suitable for pan-cancer studies. Moreover, we revealed that PTTG3P, due to its upregulation of the PTTG3P/FOXM1/BUB1B axis, could be a therapeutic target for LUAD patients.

Project description:Background: Adrenocortical adenocarcinoma (ACC) is known to be a relatively uncommon malignant tumor of the adrenal gland with patients having a poor prognosis. At present, few reports are available concerning the m6A modifications of lncRNAs as well as their clinical and immunological significance in the occurrence and progression of ACC. Materials and Methods: In the present research, 21 m6A-related genes were analyzed. Both multivariate and univariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to examine the prognostic m6A-related lncRNAs. A sum of 165 m6A-related lncRNAs was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Based on the expressions of m6A-related lncRNAs, all ACC patients were classified into distinct subgroups using the consistent clustering method. Finally, m6A-related lncRNAs that were shown to have prognostic value were utilized to develop an m6A-related lncRNA risk model, which may be employed in the prediction of prognosis and survival. Results: Using TCGA data set, 26 m6A-associated lncRNAs having putative prognostic values were identified according to their expression levels, TCGA-AAC patients were classified into two clusters with the aid of consistent clustering analysis. The correlation between the two clusters was low, in which cluster1 consisted of 42% of all ACC patients. The survival analysis showed that cluster1 was associated with an unfavorable prognosis relative to cluster2. A risk model was constructed incorporating 26 m6A-associated lncRNAs that were correlated with patient prognosis. The model was subsequently validated by univariate and multivariate Cox, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and survival analyses. We also observed that the m6A-related risk model performed well in anticipating prognoses and survival status of patients with AAC. The overall survival (OS) of the high-risk cohort, as predicted by the model, was lower as opposed to that of the low-risk cohort. Conclusion: In the present research, we developed a risk model consisting of 4 m6A-related long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which can exert independent predictive values in patients with ACC. Our findings demonstrated that these 4 m6A-related lncRNAs perform integral functions in the tumor immune microenvironment, and also revealed the possibility of using these lncRNAs to guide the development of prognostic classifications and therapy approaches for ACC patients.

Project description:BackgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents more than about 80% of the lung cancer. The early stages of NSCLC can be treated with complete resection with a good prognosis. However, most cases are detected at late stage of the disease. The average survival rate of the patients with invasive lung cancer is only about 4%. Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) is an intermediate subtype of lung adenocarcinoma that exhibits early stage growth patterns but can develop into invasion.MethodsIn this study, we used RNA-seq data from normal, AIS, and invasive lung cancer tissues to identify a gene module that represents the distinguishing characteristics of AIS as AIS-specific genes. Two differential expression analysis algorithms were employed to identify the AIS-specific genes. Then, the subset of the best performed AIS-specific genes for the early lung cancer prediction were selected by random forest. Finally, the performances of the early lung cancer prediction were assessed using random forest, support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) on four independent early lung cancer datasets including one tumor-educated blood platelets (TEPs) dataset.ResultsBased on the differential expression analysis, 107 AIS-specific genes that consisted of 93 protein-coding genes and 14 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified. The significant functions associated with these genes include angiogenesis and ECM-receptor interaction, which are highly related to cancer development and contribute to the smoking-free lung cancers. Moreover, 12 of the AIS-specific lncRNAs are involved in lung cancer progression by potentially regulating the ECM-receptor interaction pathway. The feature selection by random forest identified 20 of the AIS-specific genes as early stage lung cancer signatures using the dataset obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) lung adenocarcinoma samples. Of the 20 signatures, two were lncRNAs, BLACAT1 and CTD-2527I21.15 which have been reported to be associated with bladder cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer. In blind classification for three independent tissue sample datasets, these signature genes consistently yielded about 98% accuracy for distinguishing early stage lung cancer from normal cases. However, the prediction accuracy for the blood platelets samples was only 64.35% (sensitivity 78.1%, specificity 50.59%, and AUROC 0.747).ConclusionsThe comparison of AIS with normal and invasive tumor revealed diseases-specific genes and offered new insights into the mechanism underlying AIS progression into an invasive tumor. These genes can also serve as the signatures for early diagnosis of lung cancer with high accuracy. The expression profile of gene signatures identified from tissue cancer samples yielded remarkable early cancer prediction for tissues samples, however, relatively lower accuracy for boold platelets samples.
