Multi-Omics Analysis of Cancer Cell Lines with High/Low Ferroptosis Scores and Development of a Ferroptosis-Related Model for Multiple Cancer Types.

ABSTRACT: Background: Ferroptosis is a newly identified regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and subsequent membrane oxidative damage, which has been implicated in multiple types of cancers. The multi-omics differences between cancer cell lines with high/low ferroptosis scores remain to be elucidated. Methods and Materials: We used RNA-seq gene expression, gene mutation, miRNA expression, metabolites, copy number variation, and drug sensitivity data of cancer cell lines from DEPMAP to detect multi-omics differences associated with ferroptosis. Based on the gene expression data of cancer cell lines, we performed LASSO-Logistic regression analysis to build a ferroptosis-related model. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), esophageal cancer (ESCA), bladder cancer (BLCA), cervical cancer (CESC), and head and neck cancer (HNSC) patients from the TCGA database were used as validation cohorts to test the efficacy of this model. Results: After stratifying the cancer cell lines into high score (HS) and low score (LS) groups according to the median of ferroptosis scores generated by gene set variation analysis, we found that IC50 of 66 agents such as oxaliplatin (p < 0.001) were significantly different, among which 65 were higher in the HS group. 851 genes such as KEAP1 and NRAS were differentially muted between the two groups. Differentially expressed genes, miRNAs and metabolites were also detected-multiple items such as IL17F (logFC = 6.58, p < 0.001) differed between the two groups. Unlike the TCGA data generated by bulk RNA-seq, the gene expression data in DEPMAP are from pure cancer cells, so it could better reflect the traits of tumors in cancer patients. Thus, we built a 15-signature model (AUC = 0.878) based on the gene expression data of cancer cell lines. The validation cohorts demonstrated a higher mutational rate of NFE2L2 and higher expression levels of 12 ferroptosis-related genes in HS groups. Conclusion: This article systemically analyzed multi-omics differences between cancer cell lines with high/low ferroptosis scores and a ferroptosis-related model was developed for multiple cancer types. Our findings could improve our understanding of the role of ferroptosis in cancer and provide new insight into treatment for malignant tumors.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines are widely used pre-clinical model systems. Comprehensive insights into their molecular characteristics may improve model selection for biomedical studies.We have performed DNA, RNA and protein profiling of 34 cell lines, including (i) targeted deep sequencing (n = 612 genes) to detect single nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions; (ii) high resolution DNA copy number profiling; (iii) gene expression profiling at exon resolution; (iv) small RNA expression profiling by deep sequencing; and (v) protein expression analysis (n = 297 proteins) by reverse phase protein microarrays.The cell lines were stratified according to the key molecular subtypes of CRC and data were integrated at two or more levels by computational analyses. We confirm that the frequencies and patterns of DNA aberrations are associated with genomic instability phenotypes and that the cell lines recapitulate the genomic profiles of primary carcinomas. Intrinsic expression subgroups are distinct from genomic subtypes, but consistent at the gene-, microRNA- and protein-level and dominated by two distinct clusters; colon-like cell lines characterized by expression of gastro-intestinal differentiation markers and undifferentiated cell lines showing upregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and TGF? signatures. This sample split was concordant with the gene expression-based consensus molecular subtypes of primary tumors. Approximately ¼ of the genes had consistent regulation at the DNA copy number and gene expression level, while expression of gene-protein pairs in general was strongly correlated. Consistent high-level DNA copy number amplification and outlier gene- and protein- expression was found for several oncogenes in individual cell lines, including MYC and ERBB2.This study expands the view of CRC cell lines as accurate molecular models of primary carcinomas, and we present integrated multi-level molecular data of 34 widely used cell lines in easily accessible formats, providing a resource for preclinical studies in CRC.

Project description:Immunotherapy for neuroblastoma remains unsatisfactory due to heterogeneity and weak immunogenicity. Exploring powerful signatures for the evaluation of immunotherapy outcomes remain the primary purpose. We constructed a ferroptosis-related gene (FRG) signature by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and Cox regression, identified 10 independent prognostic FRGs in a training cohort (GSE62564), and then verified them in an external validation cohort (TCGA). Associated with clinical factors, the signature accurately predicts overall survival of 3, 5, and 10 years. An independent prognostic nomogram, which included FRG risk, age, stage of the International Neuroblastoma Staging System, and an MYCN status, was constructed. The area under the curves showed satisfactory prognostic predicting performance. Through bulk RNA-seq and proteomics data, we revealed the relationship between hub genes and the key onco-promoter MYCN gene and then validated the results in MYCN-amplified and MYCN-non-amplified cell lines with qRT-PCR. The FRG signature significantly divided patients into high- and low-risk groups, and the differentially expressed genes between the two groups were enriched in immune actions, autophagy, and carcinogenesis behaviors. The low-risk group embodied higher positive immune component infiltration and a higher expression of immune checkpoints with a more favorable immune cytolytic activity (CYT). We verified the predictive power of this signature with data from melanoma patients undergoing immunotherapy, and the predictive power was satisfactory. Gene mutations were closely related to the signature and prognosis. AURKA and PRKAA2 were revealed to be nodal hub FRGs in the signature, and both were shown to have significantly different expressions between the INSS stage IV and other stages after immunohistochemical validation. With single-cell RNA-seq analysis, we found that genes related to T cells were enriched in TNFA signaling and interferon-γ hallmark. In conclusion, we constructed a ferroptosis-related gene signature that can predict the outcomes and work in evaluating the effects of immunotherapy.
