A three-lncRNA signature predicts clinical outcomes in low-grade glioma patients after radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Although radiation therapy (RT) plays a critical role in the treatment of low-grade glioma (LGG), many patients suffer from adverse effects without experiencing survival benefits. In various carcinomas, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to pathogenic processes, including tumorigenesis, metastasis, chemoresistance, and radioresistance. Currently, the role of lncRNAs in the radiosensitivity of LGG is largely unknown. Here, we downloaded clinical data for 167 LGG patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and divided them between radiosensitive and radioresistant groups based on their clinical outcomes after receiving radiotherapy. We identified 37 lncRNAs that were differentially expressed (DElncRNAs) between the groups. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that their potential target mRNAs were mainly enriched in the PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways and in DNA damage response. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that increased expression of six lncRNAs was significantly associated with radiosensitivity. We then developed a risk signature based on three of the DElncRNAs that served as an independent biomarker for predicting LGG patient outcomes after radiotherapy. In vitro experiments further validated the biological function of these lncRNAs on low-grade glioma radiation response.

Project description:Energy metabolic processes play important roles for tumor malignancy, indicating that related protein-coding genes and regulatory upstream genes (such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs)) may represent potential biomarkers for prognostic prediction. This study will develop a new energy metabolism-related lncRNA-mRNA prognostic signature for lower-grade glioma (LGG) patients. A GSE4290 dataset obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus was used for screening the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and lncRNAs (DELs). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was used as the prognosis training set, while the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) was for the validation set. Energy metabolism-related genes were collected from the Molecular Signatures Database (MsigDB), and a coexpression network was established between energy metabolism-related DEGs and DELs to identify energy metabolism-related DELs. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis was performed to filter the prognostic signature which underwent survival analysis and nomogram construction. A total of 1613 DEGs and 37 DELs were identified between LGG and normal brain tissues. One hundred and ten DEGs were overlapped with energy metabolism-related genes. Twenty-seven DELs could coexpress with 67 metabolism-related DEGs. LASSO regression analysis showed that 9 genes in the coexpression network were the optimal signature and used to construct the risk score. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that patients with a high risk score had significantly worse OS than those with a low risk score (TCGA: HR = 3.192, 95%CI = 2.182-4.670; CGGA: HR = 1.922, 95%CI = 1.431-2.583). The predictive accuracy of the risk score was also high according to the AUC of the ROC curve (TCGA: 0.827; CGGA: 0.806). Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed age, IDH1 mutation, and risk score as independent prognostic factors, and thus, a prognostic nomogram was established based on these three variables. The excellent prognostic performance of the nomogram was confirmed by calibration and discrimination analyses. In conclusion, our findings provided a new biomarker for the stratification of LGG patients with poor prognosis.
