EP300 mutation is associated with tumor mutation burden and promotes antitumor immunity in bladder cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Currently, immunotherapy has become a worthwhile therapy for bladder cancer. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has been regarded as the most prevalent biomarker to predict immunotherapy. Bladder cancer is reported to have the third highest mutation rate. However, whether these gene mutations are related to TMB and immune response remain unknown. In this study, we downloaded somatic mutation data of bladder cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) datasets, and found 11 frequently mutated genes were covered by both two cohorts including FGFR3, TTN, XIRP2, CREBBP, PIK3CA, TP53, MUC16, EP300 (E1A binding protein P300), ARID1A, ERBB2, and KDM6A. Among them, EP300 mutation was associated with higher TMB and indicated a favorable clinical prognosis. Furthermore, based on Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and CIBERSORT algorithm, we observed that EP300 mutation upregulated signaling pathways involved in immune system and enhanced antitumor immune response. In conclusion, EP300 is frequently mutated in bladder cancer, and its mutation is associated with increased TMB and promotes antitumor immunity, which may serve as a biomarker to predict immune response.

Project description:Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. At present, immunotherapy has become a valuable method for the treatment of COAD. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is considered to be the most common biomarker for predicting immunotherapy. According to reports, the mutation rate of COAD ranks third. However, whether these gene mutations are related to TMB and immune response is still unknown. Here, COAD somatic mutation data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) databases. Bioinformatics methods were used to study the relationships among gene mutations, COAD survival prognosis, and tumor immune response. A total of 22 of the top 40 mutations in TCGA and ICGC databases were the same. Among them, the USH2A mutation was associated with high TMB and poor clinical prognosis. According to Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and the CIBERSORT algorithm, we determined that the USH2A mutation upregulates signaling pathways involved in the immune system and the antitumor immune response. In cases with a USH2A mutation, the immune score and MSI score of TCGA samples increased, the expression of immune checkpoint genes decreased significantly, and the TIDE score decreased significantly. Dependent on the presence or absence of a USH2A mutation, TCGA COAD samples were analyzed for differentially expressed genes, 522 of which were identified. Using a univariate Cox analysis and LASSO COX analysis of these differential genes, a prediction model was established, which established significant differences in the infiltration of immune cells, immune checkpoint gene expression, immune score, MSI score, TMB, and TIDE in patients in high- and low-risk groups. In conclusion, mutation of USH2A is frequent in COAD and is related to an increase in TMB and the antitumor immunity. The differential genes screened by USH2A mutation allowed the construction of a risk model for predicting the survival and prognosis of cancer patients, in addition to providing new ideas for COAD immunotherapy.

Project description:PurposeTumor mutation burden (TMB) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been well recognized as molecular determinants of immunotherapy responsiveness. In this study, we aimed to construct a TMB prognostic model and explore biomarkers that have predictive potential for prognosis and therapeutic effect in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).Patients and methodsThe TCGA, GEO and Immport databases were used to analyze the mutation profiles and immune infiltration of LUAD. TMB scores were calculated and differential analysis was conducted to identify TMB-related genes. Then, Cox regression model and survival analysis were applied to identify the prognostic genes and construct a TMB prognostic model. The expression and prognostic value of CD1B were further verified by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 92 patient tissue samples. GSEA was performed to analyze the signaling pathways associated with CD1B expression.ResultsHigh-TMB samples exhibited higher infiltration of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ memory T cells, and M1 macrophages. A total of 397 TMB-related differentially expressed genes were identified, of which 47 were immune-related genes. Cox regression analyses determined 3 hub TMB-related immune genes (CD1B, SCGB3A1, and VEGFD) with prognostic effects, and a TMB prognostic model was constructed. The model demonstrated robust predictive ability in both the training (TCGA) and testing (GEO) datasets. Notably, CD1B was identified as an independent prognostic factor. IHC of clinical samples showed that low expression of CD1B was related to poor overall survival and advanced pathological stages. In addition, there was a strong positive correlation between CD1B and most immune checkpoint molecules, including PD-L1. CD1B expression was associated with immune cell infiltration and immune activation in LUAD.ConclusionOur study constructed a TMB prognostic model that effectively predicted the prognosis of LUAD patients. CD1B expression is correlated with better prognosis and promotes antitumor immunity in LUAD, which may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and immune-related therapeutic target for LUAD.
