Multi-Omics Data Analyses Construct a Six Immune-Related Genes Prognostic Model for Cervical Cancer in Tumor Microenvironment.

ABSTRACT: The cross-talk between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) is an important factor in determining the tumorigenesis and progression of cervical cancer (CC). However, clarifying the potential mechanisms which trigger the above biological processes remains a challenge. The present study focused on immune-relevant differences at the transcriptome and somatic mutation levels through an integrative multi-omics analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The objective of the study was to recognize the specific immune-related prognostic factors predicting the survival and response to immunotherapy of patients with CC. Firstly, eight hub immune-related prognostic genes were ultimately identified through construction of a protein-protein interaction network and Cox regression analysis. Secondly, 32 differentially mutated genes were simultaneously identified based on the different levels of immune infiltration. As a result, an immune gene-related prognostic model (IGRPM), including six factors (chemokine receptor 7 [CCR7], CD3d molecule [CD3D], CD3e molecule [CD3E], and integrin subunit beta 2 [ITGB2], family with sequence similarity 133 member A [FAM133A], and tumor protein p53 [TP53]), was finally constructed to forecast clinical outcomes of CC. Its predictive capability was further assessed and validated using the Gene Expression Omnibus validation set. In conclusion, IGRPM may be a promising prognostic signature to predict the prognoses and responses to immunotherapy of patients with CC. Moreover, the multi-omics study showed that IGRPM could be a novel therapeutic target for CC, which is a promising biomarker for indicating the immune-dominant status of the TME and revealing the potential mechanisms responsible for the tumorigenesis and progression of CC.

Project description:N6-methylandrostenedione (m6A) methylation plays a very important role in the development of malignant tumors. The immune system is the key point in the progression of tumors, particularly in terms of tumor treatment and drug resistance. Tumor immunotherapy has now become a hot spot and a new approach for tumor treatment. However, as far as the stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is concerned, the in-depth research is still a gap in the m6A-associated immune markers. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases is extremely important for our research, where we obtained gene mutation, gene expression data and relevant clinical information of STAD patients. Firstly, the samples from GEO were used as external validation groups, while the TCGA samples were divided into a training group and an internal validation group randomly. Using the way of Single factor COX-LASSO- and multi-factor Cox to construct the prognostic model. Then, all samples were subjected to cluster analysis to generate high and low expression groups of immune gene. Meanwhile, we also collected the correlation between these types and tumor microenvironment. On this basis, a web version of the dynamic nomogram APP was developed. In addition, we performed microenvironmental correlation, copy number variation and mutation analyses for model genes. The prognostic model for STAD developed here demonstrated a very strong predictive ability. The results of cluster analysis manifested that the immune gene low expression group had lower survival rate and higher degree of immune infiltration. Therefore, the immune gene low expression group was associated with lower survival rates and a higher degree of immune infiltration. Gene set enrichment analysis suggested that the potential mechanism might be related to the activation of immunosuppressive functions and multiple signaling pathways. Correspondingly, the web version of the dynamic nomogram APP produced by the DynNom package has successfully achieved rapid and accurate calculation of patient survival rates. Finally, the multi-omics analysis of model genes further enriched the research content. Interference of RAB19 was confirmed to facilitate migration of STAD cells in vitro, while its overexpression inhibited these features. The prognostic model for STAD constructed in this study is accurate and efficient based on multi-omics analysis and experimental validation. Additionally, the results of the correlation analysis between the tumor microenvironment and m6Ascore are the basics of further exploration of the pathophysiological mechanism in STAD.
