Identification of mortality-risk-related missense variant for renal clear cell carcinoma using deep learning.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRCC) is a highly heterogeneous and lethal cancer that can arise in patients with renal disease. DeepSurv combines a deep feed-forward neural network with a Cox proportional hazards function and could provide optimized survival results compared with convenient survival analysis.

Methods

This study used an improved DeepSurv algorithm to identify the candidate genes to be targeted for treatment on the basis of the overall mortality status of KIRCC subjects. All the somatic mutation missense variants of KIRCC subjects were abstracted from TCGA-KIRC database.

Results

The improved DeepSurv model (95.1%) achieved greater balanced accuracy compared with the DeepSurv model (75%), and identified 610 high-risk variants associated with overall mortality. The results of gene differential expression analysis also indicated nine KIRCC mortality-risk-related pathways, namely the tRNA charging pathway, the D-myo-inositol-5-phosphate metabolism pathway, the DNA double-strand break repair by nonhomologous end-joining pathway, the superpathway of inositol phosphate compounds, the 3-phosphoinositide degradation pathway, the production of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species in macrophages pathway, the synaptic long-term depression pathway, the sperm motility pathway, and the role of JAK2 in hormone-like cytokine signaling pathway. The biological findings in this study indicate the KIRCC mortality-risk-related pathways were more likely to be associated with cancer cell growth, cancer cell differentiation, and immune response inhibition.

Conclusion

The results proved that the improved DeepSurv model effectively classified mortality-related high-risk variants and identified the candidate genes. In the context of KIRCC overall mortality, the proposed model effectively recognized mortality-related high-risk variants for KIRCC.

Project description:BackgroundImmunity exerts momentous functions in the progression and treatment of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). A better understanding of the relationship between KIRC and immunity may make a great contribution to evaluating the prognosis and immune-related therapeutic response of KIRC.MethodsA series of information such as RNA sequence, clinical data, and tumor mutation burden (TMB) of KIRC patients were downloaded through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Next, combining the survival information and gene expression data of TCGA and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), we established an immune gene-related prognosis model (IGRPM) and analyzed it. Then we constructed a nomogram which was convenient for clinicians to judge the prognosis of KIRC. Last but not the least, the expressions of some genes used to construct IGRPM in early KIRC, and adjacent normal tissues were verified through real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Perl (strawberry-perl-5.30.0.1-64bit), R software (4.0.3), and GraphPad Prism 7 were used to process the relevant data.ResultsThe single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) showed that there were significant differences in StromalScore, ImmuneScore, ESTIMATEScore, TumorPurity, 22 kinds of human immune cells infiltration, and HLA genes expression between high immunity group (Immunity_H) and low immunity group (Immunity_L). The Immunity_H expressed more immune-related genes and enriched more immune-related functions than the Immunity_L. In addition, compared with the low-risk group, the high-risk group had worse survival outcome and higher TMB. Combining IGRPM-based risk characteristic and TMB, we found that low-TMB + low-risk was the most beneficial to the survival outcome of KIRC patients. The risk characteristic based on IGRPM could be used as an independent prognostic factor for KIRC, and the nomogram constructed for evaluating the prognosis of KIRC showed excellent predictive potential. The RT-qPCR results suggested that not all the genes used to construct IGRPM showed differential expression in early KIRC compared with adjacent normal tissues, but all these genes had significant influence on the prognosis of KIRC.ConclusionThese comprehensive immune assessments and survival predictions, integrating multiple aspects of data and clinical information, can provide additional value to the current Tumor Node Metastasis staging system for risk stratification of KIRC and may facilitate the development of KIRC immunotherapy.
