A New Ferroptosis-Related lncRNA Signature Predicts the Prognosis of Bladder Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Ferroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. An increasing number of studies have induced ferroptosis as a treatment strategy for cancer. However, the predictive value of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs in bladder cancer (BC) still need to be further elucidated. The purpose of this study was to construct a predictive signature based on ferroptosis-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to predict the prognosis of BC patients. Methods: We downloaded RNA-seq data and the corresponding clinical and prognostic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and performed univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to obtain ferroptosis-related lncRNAs to construct a predictive signature. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the overall survival (OS) rate of the high-risk and low-risk groups. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore the functional differences between the high- and low-risk groups. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to explore the relationship between the predictive signature and immune status. Finally, the correlation between the predictive signature and the treatment response of BC patients was analyzed. Results: We constructed a signature composed of nine ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (AL031775.1, AL162586.1, AC034236.2, LINC01004, OCIAD1-AS1, AL136084.3, AP003352.1, Z84484.1, AC022150.2). Compared with the low-risk group, the high-risk group had a worse prognosis. The ferroptosis-related lncRNA signature could independently predict the prognosis of patients with BC. Compared with clinicopathological variables, the ferroptosis-related lncRNA signature has a higher diagnostic efficiency, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.707. When patients were stratified according to different clinicopathological variables, the OS of patients in the high-risk group was shorter than that of those in the low-risk group. GSEA showed that tumor- and immune-related pathways were mainly enriched in the high-risk group. ssGSEA showed that the predictive signature was significantly related to the immune status of BC patients. High-risk patients were more sensitive to anti-PD-1/L1 immunotherapy and the conventional chemotherapy drugs sunitinib, paclitaxel, cisplatin, and docetaxel. Conclusion: The predictive signature can independently predict the prognosis of BC patients, provides a basis for the mechanism of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs in BC and provides clinical treatment guidance for patients with BC.

Project description:Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common malignancy worldwide but a reliable prognostic biomarker of CRC is still lack. Thus, the purpose of our study was to explore whether ferroptosis - related lncRNAs could predict the prognosis of CRC. Methods: The mRNA expression profiling of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and rectum adenocarcinoma (READ) patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were downloaded. Univariate Cox and multivariate Cox regression analyses was used to obtain prognostic differently expressed ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (DE-FLs) and a risk signature was developed. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) was used to validated the different expressions of DE-FLs. The calibration curves, C-index and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the accuracy of nomogram. Gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) were carried out to explore the biological mechanism between high- and low-risk group and the potential regulated pathway of prognostic DE-FLs in CRC. Results: Forty-nine DE-FLs were identified between CRC and normal tissue. Then, a 4-DE-FLs (AC016027.1, AC099850.3, ELFN1-AS1, and VPS9D1-AS1) prognostic signature model was generated. AC016027.1 was downregulated in CRC tissue; VPS9D1-AS1 and ELFN1-AS1 were upregulated by q-PCR. The model had a better accuracy presenting by 1-, 3-, and 5-years ROC curve (AUC ≥0.6), and identified survival probability (p < 0.05) well. Moreover, the risk signature could play as an independent factor of CRC (p < 0.05). Further, a nomogram including age, pathologic stage, T stage, and risk score with good prognostic capability (C-index = 0.789) was constructed. In addition, we found biological pathways mainly related to metabolism and apoptosis were down-regulated in high-risk group who with poor outcome. Finally, the functional enrichment showed prognostic DE-FLs may significantly impact bile secretion in CRC. Conclusion: A risk model and nomogram based on ferroptosis-related lncRNAs were created to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-years survival probability of CRC patients. Our data suggested that the prognostic lncRNAs could serve as valuable prognostic marker.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients is difficult to predict or describe due to its high-level heterogeneity and complex aetiologic factors. Ferroptosis is a novel form of iron-dependent cell death that is closely related to tumour growth and progression. This study aims to clarify the predictive value of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) on the overall survival(OS) of OSCC patients.MethodsThe mRNA expression profile of FRGs and clinical information of patients with OSCC were collected from the TCGA database. Candidate differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (DE-FRGs) were identified by analysing differences between OSCC and adjacent normal tissues. A gene signature of prognosis-related DE-FRGs was established by univariate Cox analysis and LASSO analysis in the training set. Patients were then divided into high- and low-risk groups according to the cut-off value of risk scores, A nomogram was constructed to quantify the contributions of gene signature and clinical parameters to OS. Then several bioinformatics analyses were used to verify the reliability and accuracy of the model in the validation set. Finally, single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was also performed to reveal the underlying differences in immune status between different risk groups.ResultsA prognostic model was constructed based on 10 ferroptosis-related genes. Patients in high-risk group had a significantly worse OS (p < 0.001). The gene signature was verified as an independent predictor for the OS of OSCC patients (HR > 1, p < 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve displayed the favour predictive performance of the risk model. The prediction nomogram successfully quantified each indicator's contribution to survival and the concordance index and calibration plots showed its superior predictive capacity. Finally, ssGSEA preliminarily indicated that the poor prognosis in the high-risk group might result from the dysregulation of immune status.ConclusionThis study established a 10-ferroptosis-releated gene signature and nomogram that can be used to predict the prognosis of OSCC patients, which provides new insight for future anticancer therapies based on potential FRG targets.
