Integrative Analysis of Hypoxia-Associated Signature in Pan-Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is serving crucial roles in cancers. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the molecular features and clinical relevance of a well-defined hypoxia-associated signature in pan-cancer using multi-omics data. Data were acquired from TCGA, CCLE, GDSC, and GEO. RNA expression pattern, copy number variation (CNV), methylation, and mutation of the signature were analyzed. The majority of the 15 genes were upregulated in cancer tissues compared with normal tissue, and RNA expression was negatively associated with methylation level. CNV occurred in almost all the cancers, whereas mutation frequency was low across different cancer types. The signature was also closely related to cancer hallmarks and cancer-related metabolism pathways. NDRG1 was upregulated in kidney cancer tissues as indicated by immunohistochemistry. Besides, most of the 15 genes were risk factors for patients' overall survival. Our results provide a valuable resource that will guide both mechanistic and therapeutic analyses of the hypoxia signature in cancers.

Project description:Background: PDZ binding kinase (PBK) is a serine/threonine kinase, which belongs to the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) family. It has been shown to be a critical gene in the regulation of mitosis and tumorigenesis, but the role of PBK in various cancers remains unclear. In this study, we systematically explored the prognostic and predictive value of PBK expression in 33 cancer types. Methods: Public databases including the cBioPortal database, GDSC database, GTEx database, CCLE database, and TCGA database were used to detect the PBK expression and its association with the prognosis, clinicopathologic stage, TMB, MSI, immune microenvironment, immune checkpoints, immune cell infiltration, enrichment pathways, and IC50 across pan-cancer. The statistical analyses and visualization were conducted using R software. Results: PBK expression is relatively high in most cancers compared to their normal counterparts, and this gene is barely expressed in normal tissues. High expression of PBK is significantly associated with poor prognosis and clinicopathologic stages I, II, and III in different cancers. Furthermore, PBK expression is strongly associated with TMB in 23 cancer types and associated with MSI in nine cancer types. Moreover, the correlation analysis of the microenvironment and immune cells indicated that PBK is negatively correlated with the immune infiltration levels but positively correlated with the infiltration levels of M0 and M1 macrophages, T cells CD4 memory activated, and T cells follicular helper. GSEA analysis revealed that the biological function or pathways relevant to the cell cycle and mitosis were frequently enriched at the level of high expression of PBK. Conclusion: These results revealed the oncogenic role of PBK, which is significantly upregulated in various cancers and indicated poor prognosis and immune infiltration in multiple cancers. It also suggested that PBK may serve as a biomarker in multiple tumor progress and patient survival.
