Downregulated genes by silencing MYC pathway identified with RNA-SEQ analysis as potential prognostic biomarkers in gastric adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: MYC overexpression is a common phenomenon in gastric carcinogenesis. In this study, we identified genes differentially expressed with a downregulated profile in gastric cancer (GC) cell lines with silenced MYC. The TTLL12, CDKN3, CDC16, PTPRA, MZT2B, UBE2T genes were validated using qRT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry in tissues of 213 patients with diffuse and intestinal GC. We identified high levels of TTLL12, MZT2B, CDC16, UBE2T, associated with early and advanced stages, lymph nodes, distant metastases and risk factors such as H. pylori. Our results show that in the diffuse GC the overexpression of CDC16 and UBE2T indicate markers of poor prognosis higher than TTLL12. That is, patients with overexpression of these two genes live less than patients with overexpression of TTLL12. In the intestinal GC, patients who overexpressed CDC16 had a significantly lower survival rate than patients who overexpressed MZT2B and UBE2T, indicating in our data a worse prognostic value of CDC16 compared to the other two genes. PTPRA and CDKN3 proved to be important for assessing tumor progression in the early and advanced stages. In summary, in this study, we identified diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of GC under the control of MYC, related to the cell cycle and the neoplastic process.

Project description:PurposeAbnormal CLEC9A expression is concerned with carcinogenesis. However, the role of CLEC9A in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unknown. The goal of this study was to reveal the role of CLEC9A in LUAD based on bioinformatics and cellular functional experiments.Materials and methodsData available from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were employed to study CLEC9A expression and mutations in LUAD. Expression and alterations of CLEC9A were analyzed using UALCAN and cBioPortal, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the effect of CLEC9A on the survival of LUAD. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was built using GeneMANIA analysis. The similar genes of CLEC9A were obtained using GEPIA analysis, while co-expression genes correlated with CLEC9A were identified using LinkedOmics analysis. The effects of CLEC9A expression on immune cell infiltration was assessed. The effect of CLEC9A on the proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and invasion of human LUAD cells was detected in the LUAD cell line.ResultsCLEC9A was downregulated and the CLEC9A gene was often altered in LUAD. The survival of LUAD patients was correlated with the expression level of CLEC9A. The similar genes of CLEC9A were linked to functional networks involving positive regulation of interleukin-12 production, plasma membrane and CD40 receptor binding, primary immunodeficiency, intestinal immune network for IgA production, and cell adhesion molecules pathways. Cell cycle, apoptosis, EMT, and RAS/MAPK were significantly enriched pathways in positive and negative correlation genes with CLEC9A. A difference in the immune infiltration level of immune cell between the high and low CLEC9A expression groups was observed. Somatic cell copy number alternations (CNAs) of the CLEC9A, including arm-level gain and arm-level deletion, observably changed the infiltration levels of B cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and neutrophils in LUAD. Except for LAG3, the expression of CD274, CTLA4, PDCD1, and TIGIT was positively correlated with the expression level of CLEC9A. After transfection, overexpression and knockdown of CLEC9A could affect the proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and invasion of LUAD cells.ConclusionCLEC9A is associated with prognosis and tumor immune microenvironment of LUAD, suggesting that CLEC9A may be considered as a novel biomarker for LUAD.
