Prognosis prediction model based on competing endogenous RNAs for recurrence of colon adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients who develop recurrence have poor prognosis. Our study aimed to establish effective prognosis prediction model based on competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for recurrence of COAD.

Methods

COAD expression profilings downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used as training dataset, and expression profilings of GSE29623 retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were set as validation dataset. Differentially expressed RNAs (DERs) between non-recurrent and recurrent specimens in training dataset were screened, and optimum prognostic signature DERs were revealed to establish prognostic score (PS) model. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted for PS model, and GEO dataset was used for validation. Prognosis prediction efficiencies were evaluated by area under curve (AUC) and C-index. Meanwhile, ceRNA regulatory network was constructed by using signature mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs.

Results

We identified 562 DERs including 42 lncRNAs, 36 miRNAs, and 484 mRNAs. PS prediction model, consisting of 17 optimum prognostic signature DERs, showed that high risk group had significantly poorer prognosis (5-year AUC?=?0.951, C-index?=?0.788), which also validated in GSE29623. Prognosis prediction model incorporating multi-RNAs with pathologic distant metastasis (M) and pathologic primary tumor (T) (5-year AUC?=?0.969, C-index?=?0.812) had better efficiency than clinical prognosis prediction model (5-year AUC?=?0.712, C-index?=?0.680). In the constructed ceRNA regulatory network, lncRNA NCBP2-AS1 could interact with hsa-miR-34c and hsa-miR-363, and lncRNA LINC00115 could interact with hsa-miR-363 and hsa-miR-4709. SIX4, GRAP, NKAIN4, MMAA, and ERVMER34-1 are regulated by hsa-miR-4709.

Conclusion

Prognosis prediction model incorporating multi-RNAs with pathologic M and pathologic T may have great value in COAD prognosis prediction.

Project description:BackgroundAfter curative surgical resection, about 30-75% lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients suffer from recurrence with dismal survival outcomes. Identification of patients with high risk of recurrence to impose intense therapy is urgently needed.Materials and methodsGene expression data of LUAD were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were calculated by comparing the recurrent and primary tissues. Prognostic genes associated with the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of LUAD patients were identified using univariate analysis. LASSO Cox regression and multivariate Cox analysis were applied to extract key genes and establish the prediction model.ResultsWe detected 37 DEGs between primary and recurrent LUAD tumors. Using univariate analysis, 31 DEGs were found to be significantly associated with RFS. We established the RFS prediction model including thirteen genes using the LASSO Cox regression. In the training cohort, we classified patients into high- and low-risk groups and found that patients in the high-risk group suffered from worse RFS compared to those in the low-risk group (P < 0.01). Concordant results were confirmed in the internal and external validation cohort. The efficiency of the prediction model was also confirmed under different clinical subgroups. The high-risk group was significantly identified as the risk factor of recurrence in LUAD by the multivariate Cox analysis (HR = 13.37, P = 0.01). Compared to clinicopathological features, our prediction model possessed higher accuracy to identify patients with high risk of recurrence (AUC = 96.3%). Finally, we found that the G2M checkpoint pathway was enriched both in recurrent tumors and primary tumors of high-risk patients.ConclusionsOur recurrence-specific gene-based prognostic prediction model provides extra information about the risk of recurrence in LUAD, which is conducive for clinicians to conduct individualized therapy in clinic.

Project description:Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis. However, the relationship between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) and its competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network with the prognosis of PAAD patients remains unclear. To investigate this relationship, we calculated the difference in CRGs between PAAD tissues and normal tissues using the 'limma' R package. Additionally, we employed least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis to construct a prognostic signature for CRGs. Survival analysis of patients with PAAD was performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Furthermore, we used bioinformatics tools to screen for CRGs-related MicroRNA (miRNA) and lncRNAs. To validate these findings, we conducted real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), CCK-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays to assess the effect of DLAT in vitro. Our results revealed a cuproptosis-related prognostic signature consisting of 3 prognostic genes (DLAT, LIAS, and LIPT1). Notably, patients with a high-risk score for the CRGs signature exhibited poor prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) (P < .05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the prognostic signature of CRGs. The results showed that the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year area under the curve values for predicting OS were 0.62, 0.66, and 0.79, respectively. Additionally, the CRGs-related ceRNA network revealed the regulatory axis of LINC00857/has-miR-1179/DLAT in PAAD. In vitro experiments demonstrated that knockdown of LINC00857 and DLAT inhibited the growth and invasion of PAAD cells. This study identified a CRG-related prognostic signature consisting of 3 biomarkers (DLAT, LIAS, and LIPT1) for PAAD. Furthermore, ceRNA network analysis suggested the involvement of the LINC00857/has-miR-1179/DLAT axis in the development of PAAD. Overall, this study provides theoretical support for the investigation of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as potential therapeutic targets in PAAD.

Project description:Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) crucially modulate DNA damage responses/repair in cancer cells. However, the underlying regulatory role of genome integrity and its clinical value in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remains unclear. This study links genome instability to lncRNA using computational biology techniques, in attempt to propose novel biomarkers of immunotherapy outcome, and investigated a potential competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) as a molecular regulatory mechanism. Methods: TCGA-COAD patients were divided into genome unstable (GU)-like and genome stable (GS)-like clusters via hierarchical clustering to predict immunotherapy outcomes. Multivariate Cox model was established to predict the overall survival rate in COAD patients. Additionally, SVM and LASSO algorithms were applied to obtain hub lncRNAs. A novel genome instability-related ceRNA network was predicted with the Starbase 2.0 database. To better understand how these genes fundamentally interact during tumor progression and development, the mutation analysis and single-gene analysis for each gene was performed. Results: In contrast to those in the GS-like cluster, GU-like-cluster patients demonstrated a higher tumor mutational burden (TMB)/microsatellite instability (MSI), DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE) mutation rate, and immune checkpoint expression, all indicate a greater predictive power for response rate for immunotherapy. The novel prognostic signature demonstrated an outstanding predictive performance (AUC > 0.70). The genes in the genome insatiability-related ceRNA network (including four axes: AL161772.1-has-miR-671-5p (hsa-miR-181d-5p, has-miR-106a-5p)-NINL, AL161772.1-has-miR-106a-5p-TNFSF11, AC124067.4-hsa-miR-92b-3p (hsa-miR-589-5p)-PHYHIPL, and BOLA3-AS1-has-miR-130b-3p-SALL4) were identified as critical regulators of tumor microenvironment infiltration, cancer stemness, and drug resistance. qPCR was performed to validate the expression patterns of these genes. Furthermore, the MSI-high proportion was greater in patients with mutated type than in those with the wild type according to all four target genes, indicating that these four genes modulate genomic integrity and could serve as novel immunotherapy biomarkers. Conclusion: We demonstrated that genome instability-related lncRNA is a novel biomarker for immunotherapy outcomes and prognosis. A novel ceRNA network that modulates genomic integrity, including four lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axes, was proposed.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify novel microRNA (miRNA) or long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) signatures of laryngeal cancer recurrence and to investigate the regulatory mechanisms associated with this malignancy. Datasets of recurrent and nonrecurrent laryngeal cancer samples were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE27020 and GSE25727) to examine differentially expressed miRNAs (DE‑miRs), lncRNAs (DE‑lncRs) and mRNAs (DEGs). miRNA‑mRNA and lncRNA‑miRNA networks were constructed by investigating the associations among these RNAs in various databases. Subsequently, the interactions identified were combined into a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network. Feature genes in the miRNA‑mRNA network were identified via topological analysis and a recursive feature elimination algorithm. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was established using the betweenness centrality values in the miRNA‑mRNA network, consisting of 32 optimal feature‑coding genes. The classification effect was tested using two validation datasets. Furthermore, coding genes in the ceRNA network were examined via pathway enrichment analyses. In total, 21 DE‑lncRs, 507 DEGs and 55 DE‑miRs were selected. The SVM classifier exhibited an accuracy of 94.05% (79/84) for sample classification prediction in the TCGA dataset, and 92.66 and 91.07% in the two validation datasets. The ceRNA regulatory network comprised 203 nodes, corresponding to mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs, and 346 lines, corresponding to the interactions among RNAs. In particular, the interactions with the highest scores were HLA complex group 4 (HCG4)‑miR‑33b, HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR)‑miR‑1‑MAGE family member A2 (MAGEA2), EMX2 opposite strand/antisense RNA (EMX2OS)‑miR‑124‑calcitonin related polypeptide α (CALCA) and EMX2OS‑miR‑124‑γ‑aminobutyric acid type A receptor γ2 subunit (GABRG2). Gene enrichment analysis of the genes in the ceRNA network identified that 11 pathway terms and 16 molecular function terms were significantly enriched. The SVM classifier based on 32 feature coding genes exhibited high accuracy in the classification of laryngeal cancer samples. miR‑1, miR‑33b, miR‑124, HOTAIR, HCG4 and EMX2OS may be novel biomarkers of recurrent laryngeal cancer, and HCG4‑miR‑33b, HOTAIR‑miR‑1‑MAGEA2 and EMX2OS‑miR‑124‑CALCA/GABRG2 may be associated with the molecular mechanisms regulating recurrent laryngeal cancer.
