A New Prognostic Risk Model Based on PPAR Pathway-Related Genes in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Objective:This study is aimed at using genes related to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway to establish a prognostic risk model in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Methods:For this study, we first found the PPAR pathway-related genes on the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) website and found the KIRC mRNA expression data and clinical data through TCGA database. Subsequently, we used R language and multiple R language expansion packages to analyze the expression, hazard ratio analysis, and coexpression analysis of PPAR pathway-related genes in KIRC. Afterward, using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) website, we established the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of genes related to the PPAR pathway. After that, we used LASSO regression curve analysis to establish a prognostic survival model in KIRC. Finally, based on the model, we conducted correlation analysis of the clinicopathological characteristics, univariate analysis, and multivariate analysis. Results:We found that most of the genes related to the PPAR pathway had different degrees of expression differences in KIRC. Among them, the high expression of 27 genes is related to low survival rate of KIRC patients, and the high expression of 13 other genes is related to their high survival rate. Most importantly, we used 13 of these genes successfully to establish a risk model that could accurately predict patients' prognosis. There is a clear correlation between this model and metastasis, tumor, stage, grade, and fustat. Conclusions:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to analyze the entire PPAR pathway in KIRC in detail and successfully establish a risk model for patient prognosis. We believe that our research can provide valuable data for future researchers and clinicians.

Project description:Objective: We aimed to investigate the potential role of ERBB signaling pathway-related genes in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and establish a new predictive risk model using various bioinformatics methods. Methods: We downloaded the KIRC dataset and clinicopathological information from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Univariate Cox analysis was used to identify essential genes significantly associated with KIRC progression. Next, we used the STRING website to construct a protein-protein interaction network of ERBB signaling pathway-related molecules. We then used the least the absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis to build a predictive risk model for KIRC patients. Next, we used multiple bioinformatics methods to analyze the copy number variation, single-nucleotide variation, and overall survival of these risk model genes in pan-cancer. At last, we used the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer to investigate the correlation between the mRNA expression of genes associated with this risk model gene and drug sensitivity. Results: Through the LASSO regression analysis, we constructed a novel KIRC prognosis-related risk model using 12 genes: SHC1, GAB1, SOS2, SRC, AKT3, EREG, EIF4EBP1, ERBB3, MAPK3, transforming growth factor-alpha, CDKN1A, and PIK3CD. Based on this risk model, the overall survival rate of KIRC patients in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (p = 1.221 × 10-15). Furthermore, this risk model was associated with cancer metastasis, tumor size, node, stage, grade, sex, and fustat in KIRC patients. The receiver operating characteristic curve results showed that the model had better prediction accuracy. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the model's risk score was an independent risk factor for KIRC. The Human Protein Atlas database was used to validate the protein expression of risk model-associated molecules in tumors and adjacent normal tissues. The validation results were consistent with our previous findings. Conclusions: We successfully established a prognostic-related risk model for KIRC, which will provide clinicians with a helpful reference for future disease diagnosis and treatment.

Project description:Background: Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is a common and clinically significant subtype of kidney cancer. A potential therapeutic target in KIRC is disulfidptosis, a novel mode of cell death induced by disulfide stress. The aim of this study was to develop a prognostic model to explore the clinical significance of different disulfidptosis gene typings from KIRC. Methods: A comprehensive analysis of the chromosomal localization, expression patterns, mutational landscape, copy number variations, and prognostic significance of 10 disulfide death genes was conducted. Patients were categorized into distinct subtypes using the Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) typing method based on disulfidptosis gene expression patterns. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was used on the KIRC dataset to identify differentially expressed genes between subtype clusters. A risk signature was created using LASSO-Cox regression and validated by survival analysis. An interaction between risk score and immune cell infiltration, tumor microenvironment characteristics and pathway enrichment analysis were investigated. Results: Initial findings highlight the differential expression of specific DRGs in KIRC, with genomic instability and somatic mutation analysis revealing key insights into their role in cancer progression. NMF clustering differentiates KIRC patients into subgroups with distinct survival outcomes and immune profiles, and hierarchical clustering identifies gene modules associated with key biological and clinical parameters, leading to the development of a risk stratification model (LRP8, RNASE2, CLIP4, HAS2, SLC22A11, and KCTD12) validated by survival analysis and predictive of immune infiltration and drug sensitivity. Pathway enrichment analysis further delineates the differential molecular pathways between high-risk and low-risk patients, offering potential targets for personalized treatment. Lastly, differential expression analysis of model genes between normal and KIRC cells provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying KIRC, highlighting potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of KIRC and provides a potential prognostic model using disulfidptosis gene for personalized management in KIRC patients. The risk signature shows clinical applicability and sheds light on the biological mechanisms associated with disulfide-induced cell death.
