Project description:BackgroundThe mortality and recurrence of patients with cancer is of high prevalence. SET-binding factor 2 (SBF2) antisense RNA1 (lncRNA-SBF2-AS1) is a promising long non-coding RNA. There is increasing evidence that SBF2-AS1 is abnormally expressed in various tumors and is associated with cancer prognosis. However, the identification of the effect of lncRNA SBF2-AS1 in tumors remains necessary.Materials and methodsUp to November 2, 2020, electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Medline, and Web of Science, were searched. The results were evaluated by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsA total of 11 literatures on cancer patients were included for the present meta-analysis. The combined results revealed that high expression of SBF2-AS1 was significantly associated with unfavorable overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.34-1.62, P < 0.00001) in a variety of cancers. In additional, the increase in SBF2-AS1 expression was also correlated with tumor size ((larger vs. smaller) OR = 2.34, 95% CI: 1.47-3.70, P = 0.0003), advanced TNM stage ((III/IV vs. I/II) OR = 2.78, 95% CI: 1.75-4.41, P < 0.0001), lymph node metastasis ((Positive vs. Negative) OR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.93-4.86, P < 0.00001), and histological grade ((poorly vs. well/moderately) OR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.47-4.52, P = 0.001) in patients with cancer. Furthermore, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset valuated that SBF2-AS1 was upregulated in a variety of tumors, and predicted the worse prognosis.ConclusionsOur results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that high SBF2-AS1 expression may become a potential target for predicting the prognosis of human cancers.

Project description:A mutation in the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene is the most common mutation in diffuse lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), and it is significantly related to the prognosis of LGGs. We aimed to explore the influence of the IDH1 mutation on the immune microenvironment and develop an IDH1-associated immune prognostic signature (IPS) for predicting prognosis in LGGs. IDH1 mutation status and RNA expression were investigated in two different public cohorts. To develop an IPS, LASSO Cox analysis was conducted for immune-related genes that were differentially expressed between IDH1wt and IDH1mut LGG patients. Then, we systematically analyzed the influence of the IPS on the immune microenvironment. A total of 41 immune prognostic genes were identified based on the IDH1 mutation status. A four-gene IPS was established and LGG patients were effectively stratified into low- and high-risk groups in both the training and validation sets. Stratification analysis and multivariate Cox analysis revealed that the IPS was an independent prognostic factor. We also found that high-risk LGG patients had higher levels of infiltrating B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells, and expressed higher levels of CTLA-4, PD-1 and TIM-3. Moreover, a novel nomogram model was established to estimate the overall survival in LGG patients. The current study provides novel insights into the LGG immune microenvironment and potential immunotherapies. The proposed IPS is a clinically promising biomarker that can be used to classify LGG patients into subgroups with distinct outcomes and immunophenotypes, with the potential to facilitate individualized management and improve prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundWhile molecular insights to diffuse lower-grade glioma (dLGG) have improved the basis for prognostication, most established clinical prognostic factors come from the pre-molecular era. For instance, WHO grade as a predictor for survival in dLGG with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation has recently been questioned. We studied the prognostic role of WHO grade in molecularly defined subgroups and evaluated earlier used prognostic factors in the current molecular setting.Material and methodsA total of 253 adults with morphological dLGG, consecutively included between 2007 and 2018, were assessed. IDH mutations, codeletion of chromosomal arms 1p/19q, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) deletions were analyzed.ResultsThere was no survival benefit for patients with WHO grade 2 over grade 3 IDH-mut dLGG after exclusion of tumors with known CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion (n=157) (log-rank p=0.97). This was true also after stratification for oncological postoperative treatment and when astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas were analyzed separately. In IDH-mut astrocytomas, residual tumor volume after surgery was an independent prognostic factor for survival (HR 1.02; 95% CI 1.01-1.03; p=0.003), but not in oligodendrogliomas (HR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00-1.03; p=0.15). Preoperative tumor size was an independent predictor in both astrocytomas (HR 1.03; 95% CI 1.00-1.05; p=0.02) and oligodendrogliomas (HR 1.05; 95% CI 1.01-1.09; p=0.01). Age was not a significant prognostic factor in multivariable analyses (astrocytomas p=0.64, oligodendrogliomas p=0.08).ConclusionOur findings suggest that WHO grade is not a robust prognostic factor in molecularly well-defined dLGG. Preoperative tumor size remained a prognostic factor in both IDH-mut astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas in our cohort, whereas residual tumor volume predicted prognosis in IDH-mut astrocytomas only. The age cutoffs for determining high risk in patients with IDH-mut dLGG from the pre-molecular era are not supported by our results.

Project description:BackgroundCD86 has great potential to be a new target of immunotherapy by regulating cancer immune response. However, it remains unclear whether CD86 is a friend or foe in lower-grade glioma (LGG).MethodsThe prognostic value of CD86 expression in pan-cancer was analyzed using Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analysis with data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA). Cancer types where CD86 showed prognostic value in overall survival and disease-specific survival were identified for further analyses. The Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) dataset were utilized for external validation. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot (WB), and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) were conducted for further validation using surgical samples from Jiangsu Province hospital. The correlations between CD86 expression and tumor immunity were analyzed using the Estimation of Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumours using Expression data (ESTIMATE) algorithm, Tumor IMmune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database, and expressions of immune checkpoint molecules. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using clusterprofiler r package to reveal potential pathways.ResultsPan-cancer survival analysis established CD86 expression as an unfavorable prognostic factor in tumor progression and survival for LGG. CD86 expression between Grade-II and Grade-III LGG was validated using qRT-PCR and WB. Additionally, CD86 expression in LGG with unmethylated O(6)-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter was significantly higher than those with methylated MGMT (P<0.05), while in LGG with codeletion of 1p/19q it was significantly downregulated as opposed to those with non-codeletion (P<2.2*10-16). IHC staining validated that CD86 expression was correlated with MGMT status and X1p/19q subtypes, which was independent of tumor grade. Multivariate regression validated that CD86 expression acts as an unfavorable prognostic factor independent of clinicopathological factors in overall survival of LGG patients. Analysis of tumor immunity and GSEA revealed pivotal role of CD86 in immune response for LGG.ConclusionsIntegrated analysis shows that CD86 is an unfavorable prognostic biomarker in LGG patients. Targeting CD86 may become a novel approach for immunotherapy of LGG.

Project description:Immune-related gene pairs (IRGPs) have been associated with prognosis in various cancer types, but few studies have examined their prognostic capabilities in glioma patients. Here, we gathered the gene expression and clinical profile data of primary lower-grade glioma (LGG) patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA, containing CGGAseq1 and CGGAseq2), the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO: GSE16011), and Rembrandt datasets. In the TCGA dataset, univariate Cox regression was performed to detect overall survival (OS)-related IRGs, Lasso regression, and multivariate Cox regression were used to screen robust prognosis-related IRGs, and 19 IRGs were selected for the construction of an IRGP prognostic signature. All patients were allotted to high- and low-risk subgroups based on the TCGA dataset median value risk score. Validation analysis indicated that the IRGP signature returned a stable prognostic value among all datasets. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that the IRG -signature could efficiently predict the prognosis of primary LGG patients. The IRGP-signature-based nomogram model was built, revealing the reliable ability of the IRGP signature to predict clinical prognosis. The single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) suggested that high-risk samples contained higher numbers of immune cells but featured lower tumor purity than low-risk samples. Finally, we verified the prognostic ability of the IRGP signature using experiments performed in LGG cells. These results indicated that the IRGP signature could be regarded as a stable prognostic assessment predictor for identifying high-risk primary LGG patients.

Project description:Background: Diffuse lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) are infiltrative and heterogeneous neoplasms. Gene signature including multiple protein-coding genes (PCGs) is widely used as a tumor marker. This study aimed to construct a multi-PCG signature to predict survival for LGG patients. Methods: LGG data including PCG expression profiles and clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). Survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and random survival forest algorithm (RSFVH) were used to identify the prognostic PCG signature. Results: From the training (n = 524) and test (n = 431) datasets, a five-PCG signature which can classify LGG patients into low- or high-risk group with a significantly different overall survival (log rank P < 0.001) was screened out and validated. In terms of prognosis predictive performance, the five-PCG signature is stronger than other clinical variables and IDH mutation status. Moreover, the five-PCG signature could further divide radiotherapy patients into two different risk groups. GO and KEGG analysis found that PCGs in the prognostic five-PCG signature were mainly enriched in cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA replication pathways. Conclusions: The new five-PCG signature is a reliable prognostic marker for LGG patients and has a good prospect in clinical application.

Project description:Diffuse gliomas represent the most prevalent class of primary brain tumor. Despite significant recent advances in the understanding of glioblastoma (WHO IV), its most malignant subtype, lower-grade (WHO II and III) glioma variants remain comparatively understudied, especially in light of their notably variable clinical behavior. To examine the foundations of this heterogeneity, we performed multidimensional molecular profiling, including global transcriptional analysis, on 101 lower-grade diffuse astrocytic gliomas collected at our own institution, and validated our findings using publically available gene expression and copy number data from large independent patient cohorts. We found that IDH mutational status delineated molecularly and clinically distinct glioma subsets, with IDH mutant (IDH mt) tumors exhibiting TP53 mutations, PDGFRA overexpression, and prolonged survival, and IDH wild-type (IDH wt) tumors exhibiting EGFR amplification, PTEN loss, and unfavorable disease outcome. Furthermore, global expression profiling revealed three robust molecular subclasses within lower-grade diffuse astrocytic gliomas, two of which were predominantly IDH mt and one almost entirely IDH wt. IDH mt subclasses were distinguished from each other on the basis of TP53 mutations, DNA copy number abnormalities, and links to distinct stages of neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ). This latter finding implicates discrete pools of neuroglial progenitors as cells of origin for the different subclasses of IDH mt tumors. In summary, we have elucidated molecularly distinct subclasses of lower-grade diffuse astrocytic glioma that dictate clinical behavior and demonstrate fundamental associations with both IDH mutational status and neuroglial developmental stage. 80 tumor samples, one normal tissue sample (brain)

Project description:Expression level of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RHPN1-AS1 in glioma tissues was detected to determine potential risk factors influencing prognosis of glioma. This study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying tumorigenesis of glioma and thus to improve therapeutic efficacy of glioma. RHPN1-AS1 levels in glioma tissues (n=105) and normal brain tissues (n=105) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between RHPN1-AS1 level and pathological indicators of glioma patients was analyzed. Glioma patients were followed up for 5 years. Overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) in glioma patients were tested by Kaplan-Meier and log-rank method. Potential factors influencing prognosis of glioma were analyzed by Cox regression model. RHPN1-AS1 was upregulated in glioma tissues. Its level was correlated to histological grade, Karnofsky (KPS) score and postoperative recurrence of glioma patients, rather than sex, age, pathological and tumor size. Glioma patients expressing high level of RHPN1-AS1 suffered worse OS and RFS than those with low level. Advanced histological grade, KPS score <80 and high level of RHPN1-AS1 were considered to be risk factors influencing postoperative prognosis of glioma. High level of RHPN1-AS1 is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of glioma, which may be utilized as a prognostic hallmark.

Project description:BackgroundHypoxia-related genes are demonstrated to correlate with the prognosis of various cancers. However, the role of hypoxia-related long non-coding RNAs (HRLs) in lower-grade glioma (LGG) remains unclear.MethodsA total of 700 LGG samples were extracted from TCGA and CGGA databases. Pearson correlation analysis was used to identify HRLs. Lasso analysis was adopted to construct the HRL signature. TIDE algorithm was used to predict responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Cell proliferation was estimated by cell counting kit-8 assay, colony formation assay, and EdU assay.ResultsWe identified 340 HRLs and constructed a novel risk signature composed of 19 HRLs. The risk score exhibited potent value in predicting the prognosis of LGG patients and was significantly associated with the prognosis of LGG patients. Moreover, HRL signature could distinguish patients with similar expression levels of immune checkpoints and might predict the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Additionally, hypoxia-related pathways and immune pathways were enriched in high-risk group, and high risk score indicated low tumor purity and high immune infiltration. Two major HRLs, LINC00941 and BASP1-AS1, could significantly affect the proliferation of glioma cells.ConclusionsOur study constructed a novel HRL signature that could predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response of LGG patients. HRLs could be novel biomarkers to predict the prognosis of LGG patients and potential targets for LGG treatment.
