Distinct diagnostic and prognostic values of ?-aminobutyric acid type A receptor family genes in patients with colon adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, the significance of GABAA genes in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) were investigated from the view of diagnosis and prognosis. All data were achieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Overall survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier analyses and Cox regression model and the hazard ratios and 95% confidence interval were calculated for computation. The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery, and the Biological Networks Gene Ontology (BiNGO) softwares were applied to assess the biological processes and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) was used for pathway analysis to predict the biological function of GABAA genes. The associated Gene Ontology and KEGG pathways were conducted by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). From receiver operating characteristics curves analysis, it was found that the expression of GABR, ?-aminobutyric acid type A receptor GABRA2, GABRA3, GABRB2, GABRB3, GABRG2, GABRG3, GABRD, GABRE were correlated with COAD occurrence [P<0.0001, area under the curve (AUC)>0.7]. The low expression of the GABRB1, GABRD, GABRP and GABRQ in genes after tumor staging adjustment were positively correlated with the overall survival rate [P=0.049, hazard ratio (HR)=1.517, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.001-2.297; P=0.006, HR=1.807, 95% CI=1.180-2.765; P=0.005, HR=1.833, 95% CI=1.196-2.810; P=0.034, HR=1.578, 95% CI=1.036-2.405). GSEA showed enrichment of cell matrix adhesion, integrin binding, angiogenesis, endothelial growth factor and endothelial migration regulation in patients with COAD with GABRD overexpression. GABRB1, GABRD, GABRP and GABRQ were associated with the prognostic factors of COAD. The expression levels of GABRA2, GABRA3, GABRB2, GABRB3, GABRG2, GABRD and GABRE may allow differentiation between tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues.

Project description:The integrin α (ITGA) subfamily genes play a fundamental role in various cancers. However, the potential mechanism and application values of ITGA genes in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remain elusive. The present study investigated the significance of the expression of ITGA genes in COAD from the perspective of diagnosis and prognosis. A COAD RNA‑sequencing dataset was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The present study investigated the biological function of the ITGA subfamily genes through bioinformatics analysis. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was applied to investigate the distribution of integrin α8 (ITGA8) expression in COAD tumors and adjacent normal tissues. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that ITGA genes were noticeably enriched in cell adhesion and the integrin‑mediated signaling pathway, and co‑expressed with each other. It was also revealed through observation that the majority of gene expression was significantly low in tumor tissues (P<0.05), and diagnostic receiver operating characteristic curves revealed that most of the genes could serve as significant diagnostic markers in COAD (P<0.05), especially ITGA8 which had a high diagnostic value with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.989 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.980‑0.997] in COAD (P<0.0001). In addition, ITGA8 expression was verified in clinical samples and it was revealed that it was higher in adjacent normal tissues (P=0.041) compared to COAD tissues, and the AUC was 0.704 (95% CI, 0.577‑0.831; P<0.0085). Multivariate survival analysis indicated that integrin α (ITGA5) may be an independent prognostic indicator for COAD overall survival. Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that ITGA5 may participate in multiple biological processes and pathways. The present study revealed that ITGA genes were associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of COAD. The mRNA expression of ITGA8 may be a potential diagnosis biomarker and ITGA5 may serve as an independent prognosis indicator for COAD.

Project description:Background: Immune-related genes (IRGs) are critically involved in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). Here, the study was mainly designed to establish a prognostic model of IRGs to predict the survival of COAD patients. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Immunology Database and Analysis Portal (ImmPort) database, and Cistrome database were utilized for extracting data regarding the expression of immune gene- and tumor-related transcription factors (TFs), aimed at the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), differentially expressed IRGs (DEIRGs), and differentially expressed TFs (DETFs). Univariate Cox regression analysis was subsequently performed for the acquisition of prognosis-related IRGs, followed by establishment of TF regulatory network for uncovering the possible molecular regulatory association in COAD. Subsequently, multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to further determine the role of prognosis-related IRGs for prognostic prediction in COAD. Finally, the feasibility of a prognostic model with immunocytes was explored by immunocyte infiltration analysis. Results: A total of 2450 DEGs, 8 DETFs, and 79 DEIRGs were extracted from the corresponding databases. Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed 11 prognosis-related IRGs, followed by establishment of a regulatory network on prognosis-related IRGs at transcriptional levels. Functionally, IRG GLP2R was negatively modulated by TF MYH11, whereas IRG TDGF1 was positively modulated by TF TFAP2A. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was subsequently performed to establish a prognostic model on the basis of seven prognosis-related IRGs (GLP2R, ESM1, TDGF1, SLC10A2, INHBA, STC2, and CXCL1). Moreover, correlation analysis of immunocyte infiltration also revealed that the seven-IRG prognostic model was positively associated with five types of immunocytes (dendritic cell, macrophage, CD4 T cell, CD8 T cell, and neutrophil), which may directly reflect tumor immune state in COAD. Conclusions: Our present findings indicate that the prognostic model based on prognosis-related IRGs plays a crucial role in the clinical supervision and prognostic prediction of COAD patients at both molecular and cellular levels.
