A transcriptome profile in gallbladder cancer based on annotation analysis of microarray studies.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present study was to identify aberrantly expressed genes for gallbladder cancer based on the annotation analysis of microarray studies and to explore their potential functions. Differential gene expression was investigated in cholesterol polyps, gallbladder adenoma and gallbladder cancer using microarrays. Subsequently, microarray results were comprehensively analyzed. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to determine the affected biological processes or pathways. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of cholesterol polyps, gallbladder adenoma and gallbladder cancer were identified. Following comprehensive analysis, 14 genes were found to be differentially expressed in the gallbladder wall of both gallbladder cancer and gallbladder adenoma. The 20 most significantly upregulated genes were only upregulated in the gallbladder wall of gallbladder cancer, but not in the gallbladder wall of cholesterol polyps and gallbladder adenoma. In addition, 182 DEGs were upregulated in the gallbladder wall of gallbladder adenoma compared with the gallbladder wall of cholesterol polyps. A total of 20 most significant DEGs were found in both the tumor and gallbladder wall of gallbladder cancer. In addition, the most significant DEGs that were identified were only upregulated in the tumor of gallbladder cancer. GO and KEGG analysis indicated that the aforementioned DEGs could participate in numerous biological processes or pathways associated with the development of gallbladder cancer. The present findings will help improve the current understanding of tumorigenesis and the development of gallbladder cancer.

Project description:BackgroundGallbladder carcinoma is the most common cancer of the biliary tract, and the immune checkpoint blockade showed promising efficacy in the treatment of advanced gallbladder carcinoma. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.MethodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing was used to reveal immune cell dynamics in an anti-PD-1 responder with gallbladder carcinoma liver metastases. Gene set variation analysis, pseudotime analysis, single-cell regulatory network inference and clustering analysis, and CellChat analysis were used to identify the functions of each cell cluster. Immunohistochemistry and multicolored immunohistochemistry analysis were applied to confirm the intratumoral cell types, and the prognostic value of CXCL13+CD8+T cells in patients with gallbladder carcinoma liver metastases with immunotherapy was evaluated. Four biliary tract carcinoma and 3 immunotherapy bulk RNA-seq datasets were analyzed to investigate the prognostic value of CXCL13+CD8+T cells and SPP1+TAMs.ResultA total of 19,648 high-quality single-cell transcriptome data were obtained from liver metastasis before and after aPD-1 therapy. We discovered improved cytotoxic activity in CD8+T cells and enhanced proinflammatory phenotypes in myeloid cells. The identified SPP1+TAMs were related to poor prognosis. The increased effector/memory T cells represented characteristics similar to exhausted T cells in transitory status after aPD-1therapy, which may play a crucial role in the antitumor immune response. We further revealed that CXCL13+T cells in a high subtype of biliary tract carcinoma were characterized as a 'hot tumor' profile with high immune scores, correlated to the immunostimulatory context with favorable survival, and can predict effective responses to immunotherapy.ConclusionsOur study provided an overview of immune cell dynamics in gallbladder carcinoma liver metastases after aPD-1 treatment and highlighted the importance of CXCL13+T cells in biliary tract carcinoma and effective responses to immunotherapy, which would advance the understanding and treatment of the disease.
