Project description:Cumulative studies have shown that RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play an important role in numerous malignant tumors and are related to the occurrence and progression of tumors. However, the role of RBPs in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is not fully understood. In this study, we first downloaded gene expression data and corresponding clinical information of KIRC from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, respectively. A total of 137 differentially expressed RBPs (DERBPs) were then identified between normal and tumor tissue, including 38 downregulated and 99 upregulated RBPs. Nine RBPs (EIF4A1, RPL36A, EXOSC5, RPL28, RPL13, RPS19, RPS2, EEF1A2, and OASL) were served as prognostic genes and exploited to construct a prognostic model through survival analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves analysis showed that the low-risk group had a better survival outcome when compared with the high-risk group. The area under the curve (AUC) value of the prognostic model was 0.713 in the TCGA data set (training data set), 0.706 in the ICGC data set, and 0.687 in the GSE29609 data set, respectively, confirming a good prognostic model. The prognostic model was also identified as an independent prognostic factor for KIRC survival by performing cox regression analysis. In addition, we also built a nomogram relying on age and the prognostic model and internal validation in the TCGA data set. The clinical benefit of the prognostic model was revealed by decision curve analysis (DCA). Gene set enrichment analysis revealed several crucial pathways (ERBB signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, MTOR signaling pathway, WNT signaling pathway, and TGF BETA signaling pathway) that may explain the underlying mechanisms of KIRC. Furthermore, potential drugs for KIRC treatment were predicted by the Connectivity Map (Cmap) database based on DERBPs, including several important drugs, such as depudecin and vorinostat, that could reverse KIRC gene expression, which may provide reference for the treatment of KIRC. In summary, we developed and validated a robust nine-RBP signature for KIRC prognosis prediction. A nomogram with risk score and age can be applied to promote the individualized prediction of overall survival in patients with KIRC. Moreover, the two drugs depudecin and vorinostat may contribute to KIRC treatment.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor with very poor patient median survival. To identify a microRNA (miRNA) expression signature that can predict GBM patient survival, we analyzed the miRNA expression data of GBM patients (n=222) derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. We divided the patients randomly into training and testing sets with equal number in each group. We identified 10 significant miRNAs using Cox regression analysis on the training set and formulated a risk score based on the expression signature of these miRNAs that segregated the patients into high and low risk groups with significantly different survival times (hazard ratio [HR]=2.4; 95% CI=1.4-3.8; p<0.0001). Of these 10 miRNAs, 7 were found to be risky miRNAs and 3 were found to be protective. This signature was independently validated in the testing set (HR=1.7; 95% CI=1.1-2.8; p=0.002). GBM patients with high risk scores had overall poor survival compared to the patients with low risk scores. Overall survival among the entire patient set was 35.0% at 2 years, 21.5% at 3 years, 18.5% at 4 years and 11.8% at 5 years in the low risk group, versus 11.0%, 5.5%, 0.0 and 0.0% respectively in the high risk group (HR=2.0; 95% CI=1.4-2.8; p<0.0001). Cox multivariate analysis with patient age as a covariate on the entire patient set identified risk score based on the 10 miRNA expression signature to be an independent predictor of patient survival (HR=1.120; 95% CI=1.04-1.20; p=0.003). Thus we have identified a miRNA expression signature that can predict GBM patient survival. These findings may have implications in the understanding of gliomagenesis, development of targeted therapy and selection of high risk cancer patients for adjuvant therapy.

Project description:Evidences shows that immune and stroma related genes in the tumour microenvironment (TME) play a key regulator in the prognosis of Osteosarcomas (OSs). The purpose of this study was to develop a TME-related risk model for assessing the prognosis of OSs. 82 OSs cases aged ?25 years from TARGET were divided into two groups according to the immune/stromal scores that were analyzed by the Estimate algorithm. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two groups were analyzed and 122 DEGs were revealed. Finally, three genes (COCH, MYOM2 and PDE1B) with the minimum AIC value were derived from 122 DEGs by multivariate cox analysis. The three-gene risk model (3-GRM) could distinguish patients with high risk from the training (TARGET) and validation (GSE21257) cohort. Furthermore, a nomogram model included 3-GRM score and clinical features were developed, with the AUC values in predicting 1, 3 and 5-year survival were 0.971, 0.853 and 0.818, respectively. In addition, in the high 3-GRM score group, the enrichment degrees of infiltrating immune cells were significantly lower and immune-related pathways were markedly suppressed. In summary, this model may be used as a marker to predict survival for OSs patients in adolescent and young adults.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, increasing study have found that DNA methylation plays an important role in tumor, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).MethodsWe used the DNA methylation dataset of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to construct a 31-CpG-based signature which could accurately predict the overall survival of ccRCC. Meanwhile, we constructed a nomogram to predict the prognosis of patients with ccRCC.ResultThrough LASSO Cox regression analysis, we obtained the 31-CpG-based epigenetic signature which were significantly related to the prognosis of ccRCC. According to the epigenetic signature, patients were divided into two groups with high and low risk, and the predictive value of the epigenetic signature was verified by other two sets. In the training set, hazard ratio (HR) = 13.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 8.0-21.2, P < 0.0001; testing set: HR = 4.1, CI 2.2-7.7, P < 0.0001; entire set: HR = 7.2, CI 4.9-10.6, P < 0.0001, Moreover, combined with clinical indicators, the prediction of 5-year survival of ccRCC reached an AUC of 0.871.ConclusionsOur study constructed a 31-CpG-based epigenetic signature that could accurately predicted overall survival of ccRCC and staging progression of ccRCC. At the same time, we constructed a nomogram, which may facilitate the prediction of prognosis for patients with ccRCC.

Project description:Recently, growing evidence has revealed the significant effect of reprogrammed metabolism on pancreatic cancer in relation to carcinogenesis, progression, and treatment. However, the prognostic value of metabolism-related genes in pancreatic cancer has not been fully revealed. We identified 379 differentially expressed metabolic-related genes (DEMRGs) by comparing 178 pancreatic cancer tissues with 171 normal pancreatic tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression project (GTEx) databases. Then, we used univariate Cox regression analysis together with Lasso regression for constructing a prognostic model consisting of 15 metabolic genes. The unified risk score formula and cutoff value were taken into account to divide patients into two groups: high risk and low risk, with the former exhibiting a worse prognosis compared with the latter. The external validation results of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (IGCC) cohort and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cohort further confirm the effectiveness of this prognostic model. As shown in the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under curve (AUC) values of the risk score for overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were 0.871, 0.885, and 0.886, respectively. Based on the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), the 15-gene signature can affect some important biological processes and pathways of pancreatic cancer. In addition, the prognostic model was significantly correlated with the tumor immune microenvironment (immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint expression, etc.) and clinicopathological features (pathological stage, lymph node, and metastasis, etc.). We also built a nomogram based on three independent prognostic predictors (including individual neoplasm status, lymph node metastasis, and risk score) for the prediction of 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of pancreatic cancer, which may help to further improve the treatment strategy of pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Earlier studies had shown that side population cells isolated from established non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines exhibit cancer stem cell properties. Microarray data from side population (SP) and main population (MP) cells isolated from 4 NSCLC lines (A549, H1650, H460, H1975) were used to examine gene expression profiles associated with stemness. Total RNA extracted from SP and MP samples were used to generate cRNA targets, which were hybridized to Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 probe arrays. Raw data was processed and the mean center expression level for each gene was determined. Four cell lines (A549, H1650, H460, H1975), each having 1 SP and 1 MP sample.

Project description:This study aimed to explore an immune response-related gene signature to predict the clinical prognosis and tumor immunity of stomach adenocarcinomas (STAD). Based on the expression and clinical data of STAD in the TCGA database, the immune cell infiltration status was evaluated using CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE methods. Samples were grouped into "hot" and "cold" tumors based on immune cell infiltration status and consensus clustering. The infiltration abundance of activated memory CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells had a significant effect on the overall survival of STAD patients. Among the three clusters, cluster 2 had a higher immune score and a significantly higher abundance of CD8 T cells and activated memory CD4 T cells were assigned as a hot tumor, while cluster 1 and 3 were assigned as a cold tumor. DEGs between hot and cold tumors were mainly enriched in immune-related biological processes and pathways. Total of 13 DEGs were related to the overall survival (OS). After the univariate and multivariable Cox regression analysis, three signature genes (PEG10, DKK1, and RGS1) was identified to establish a prognostic model. Patients with the high-risk score were associated with worse survival, and the risk score had an independent prognostic value. Based on TIMER online tool, the infiltration levels of six immune cell types showed significant differences among different copy number statuses of PEG10, DKK1, and RGS1. In this study, an immune-related prognostic model containing three genes was established to predict survival for STAD patients.

Project description:Background: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process. Recent studies have found that ferroptosis inducers hold promising potential in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the comprehensive analysis about the prognostic value of ferroptosis-related genes in LUAD remains to be elucidated. Methods: The RNA sequencing data and corresponding clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. A total of 259 ferroptosis-related genes were extracted from FerrDb website. The ferroptosis-related prognostic signature was developed by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis in TCGA LUAD cohort, and then validated by 5 independent GEO cohorts. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to identify the difference in biological processes and functions between different risk groups. The expression levels of core prognostic genes were then verified in LUAD samples by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and erastin-treated LUAD cell lines by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The potential roles of GPX2 and DDIT4 as ferroptosis drivers in LUAD cell line were further confirmed by in vitro experiments. Results: A total of 20 intersecting genes between 70 ferroptosis-related DEGs and 45 potential prognostic genes were obtained for LASSO Cox regression analysis. The ferroptosis-related prognostic signature was developed by 7 core prognostic DEGs, and stratified LUAD patients into two risk groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of LUAD patients in the high-risk group was significantly worse than that of the low-risk group. External validation of 5 independent GEO cohorts further confirmed that the ferroptosis-related prognostic signature was an ideal biomarker for predicting the survival of LUAD patients. Significant enrichment of fatty acid metabolism and cell cycle-related pathways were found in different risk groups. The expression patterns of 7 core prognostic genes in LUAD and adjacent normal lung tissues were validated by IHC, which was almost consistent with the results from public database. Furthermore, the changes related to cell cycle and ferroptosis after erastin treatment were also validated in LUAD cell lines. In addition, silencing GPX2 or DDIT4 could partially reverse the erastin-induced ferroptosis. Conclusion: In summary, the ferroptosis-related prognostic signature based on 7 core prognostic DEGs indicated superior predictive performance of LUAD patients. Targeting ferroptosis holds potential to be a therapeutic alternative for LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundMetastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a highly heterogeneous disease from a clinical, molecular, and immunological perspective. Current predictive models rely primarily in tissue based genetic analysis, which not always correlate with inflammatory response. Here we evaluated the role of a circulating inflammatory signature as a prognostic marker in mCRC.MethodsTwo hundred eleven newly diagnosed patients with mCRC were enrolled in the study. One hundred twenty-one patients had unresectable metastases, whereas ninety patients had potentially resectable liver metastases at presentation. Analysis of miR-21, IL-6, and IL-8 in the plasma of peripheral blood was performed at baseline. Patients with high circulating levels of ≥2 of the three inflammation markers (miR-21, IL-6, and IL-8) were considered to have the "Inflammation phenotype-positive CISIG".ResultsPositive CISIG was found in 39/90 (43%) and 50/121 (45%) patients in the resectable and unresectable cohort, respectively. In the resectable population the median relapse-free survival was 18.4 compared to 31.4 months (p = 0.001 HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.2-3.67) for positive vs. negative CISIG. In contrast, the individual components were not significant. In the same population the median overall survival was 46.2 compared to 66.0 months (p = 0.0003, HR 2.57, 95% CI 1.26-5.27) for positive vs. negative CISIG, but not significant for the individual components. In the unresectable population, the median overall survival was 13.5 compared to 25.0 months (p = 0.0008, HR 2.49, 95% CI 1.46-4.22) for positive vs. negative CISIG. IL-6 was independently prognostic with overall survival of 16.2 compared to 27.0 months (p = 0.004, HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.24-3.11) for high vs. low IL-6, but not the other components. Using a Cox regression model, we demonstrated that CISIG is an independent predictive marker of survival in patients with unresectable disease (HR 1.8, 95% CI 1.2, 2.8, p < 0.01).ConclusionIn two different cohorts, we demonstrated that CISIG is a strong prognostic factor of relapse-free and overall survival of patients with mCRC. Based on these data, analysis of circulating inflammatory signaling can be complimentary to traditional molecular testing.
