Ferroptosis-related gene CHAC1 is a valid indicator for the poor prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the validity of CHAC1 for predicting the prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and to explore its therapeutic potential for KIRC, we conducted several bioinformatic analyses using the sequencing data and clinical information derived from online databases. We found CHAC1 is down-regulated in KIRC samples when compared with normal samples but up-regulated in KIRC samples with relatively higher malignancy and later stages. Univariate cox analysis and multivariate cox regression analysis were conducted and the results revealed up-regulated CHAC1 is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of KIRC. Further, the nomogram model based on the result of multivariate cox regression analysis was constructed and effectively predicted patients' 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival respectively. The correlation analyses showed CHAC1 is associated with the immune pathway markers of memory B cell, natural killer cell and type1 T helper cell as well as the checkpoint genes like ADORA2A, CD200, CD44, CD70, HHLA2, NRP1, PDCD1LG2 and TNFRSF18. Furthermore, experiments in vitro indicated CHAC1 could induce cell death in KIRC cell lines but had limited influence on cell migration and cell invasion. In conclusion, CHAC1 is found a valid indicator for poor prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.

Project description:Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC or ccRCC) is the most notorious subtype of renal cell carcinoma for its poor prognosis. Mounting evidence has highlighted the key role of PRKCE in the initiation and development of several types of human cancer, including kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). However, the mechanism of PRKCE aberrant expression and the specific clinical correlation of PRKCE expression with immune cell infiltration in KIRC remains elusive. Therefore, we analyzed the relationship between PRKCE and KIRC using many databases, including Oncomine, TCGA, GTEx, TIMER, and GEO. We found that PRKCE decreased in KIRC tumor tissue compared to normal tissue. The Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis and Univariate and Multivariate Cox analyses were used to evaluate the association between PRKCE and clinicopathological variables and prognosis. Low PRKCE expression was associated with poor survival and histologic grade, T stage, pathologic stage, and M stage. Besides, the C-indexes and calibration plots of the nomogram based on multivariate analysis showed an effective predictive performance for KIRC patients. In addition, PRKCE may be positively correlated with inflammation and negatively correlated with proliferation, metastasis, and invasion as identified by CancerSEA. Moreover, overexpression of PRKCE suppressed ACHN and Caki-1 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Additionally, methylation level data acquired from UALCAN, DiseaseMeth, CCLE, LinkedOmics, and MEXPRESS was used to investigate the relationship between PRKCE expression and PRKCE methylation level. Furthermore, upstream potential miRNA predictions were further performed to explore the mechanism of PRKCE decreased expression in KIRC using multiple online databases available on publicly assessable bioinformatics platforms. High PRKCE methylation levels and hsa-miR-21-5p may contribute to PRKCE low expression in KIRC. Finally, an analysis of immune infiltration indicated that PRKCE was associated with immune cell infiltration. Importantly, PRKCE may affect prognosis partially by regulating immune infiltration in KIRC. In summary, PRKCE may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker reflecting immune infiltration level and a novel therapeutic target in KIRC.
