A chemoresistance lncRNA signature for recurrence risk stratification of colon cancer patients with chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Chemotherapy is considered the nonsurgical treatment of choice for colon cancer patients. However, no precise molecular markers are available to determine which patients can actually benefit from it. In this study, we identified 55 chemotherapy-specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) of colon cancer patients through a systematic assessment of lncRNA expression profiles from a public database. These were taken from multiple cohorts of colon cancer patients who had received chemotherapy, or not. Based on these data, a chemoresistance lncRNA signature, named CRLSig, was constructed and successfully applied to divide chemotherapy patients into two groups with different recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that patients with low CRLSig had more infiltrating CD8+ T cells and macrophages, while those with high CRLSig had more infiltrating natural killer T cells. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that the low CRLSig group had more activated metabolic pathways compared with those in the high CRLSig group, indicating better response to chemotherapy. Single-cell sequencing analysis revealed that stromal cells and epithelial cells had higher CRLSig. Thus, we have constructed an auxiliary prognostic tool, CRLSig, able to discriminate patients at high risk of RFS, despite having received standard adjuvant chemotherapy treatment.

Project description:Background Energy metabolism disorder, especially lipid metabolism disorder, is an important biological characteristic of colon cancer. This research sought to examine the association between lipid metabolism-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and prognoses among colon cancer patients. Methods The transcriptome profile and clinical data of patients with colon cancer were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Using consensus clustering, cases were divided into two clusters and Kaplan–Meier analysis was executed to analyze differences in their prognoses. The gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to discover biological processes and signaling pathways. A lipid metabolism-related lncRNA prognostic model (lipid metabolism-LncRM) was created utilizing the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. The tumor microenvironment was evaluated on the basis of the composition of immune and stromal cells. Results The patients in Cluster 2 were found to have a better prognosis and higher expression of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) relative to Cluster 1. The results of GSEA showed the enrichment of energy metabolism pathways in Cluster 2. LASSO regression was used to identify the five LncRNAs that were shown to be most substantially linked to patient prognosis. These were NSMCE1-DT, LINC02084, MYOSLID, LINC02428, and MRPS9-AS1. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and survival analysis illustrated that the lipid metabolism-LncRM had a significant prognostic value. Further analysis showed that high- and low-risk groups were significantly different in terms of clinical characteristics and immune cells infiltration. Conclusions Lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs could predict the prognoses and tumor microenvironment of colon cancer and might be important biomarkers relevant to immunotherapy.

Project description:PurposeGastric cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis is fatal. Delay in detection of peritoneal metastases contributes to high mortality, highlighting the need to develop biomarkers that can help identify patients at high risk for peritoneal recurrence or metastasis.Experimental designWe performed a systematic discovery and validation for the identification of peritoneal recurrence prediction and peritoneal metastasis detection biomarkers by analyzing expression profiling datasets from 249 patients with gastric cancer, followed by analysis of 426 patients from three cohorts for clinical validation.ResultsGenome-wide expression profiling identified a 12-gene panel for robust prediction of peritoneal recurrence in patients with gastric cancer (AUC = 0.95), which was successfully validated in a second dataset (AUC = 0.86). Examination of 216 specimens from a training cohort allowed us to establish a six gene-based risk-prediction model [AUC = 0.72; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.66-0.78], which was subsequently validated in an independent cohort of 111 patients with gastric cancer (AUC = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.67-0.83). In both cohorts, combining tumor morphology and depth of invasion further improved the predictive accuracy of the prediction model (AUC = 0.84). Thereafter, we evaluated the performance of the identical six-gene panel for its ability to detect peritoneal metastasis by analyzing 210 gastric cancer specimens (prior 111 patients plus additional 99 cases), which discriminated patients with and without peritoneal metastasis (AUC = 0.72). Finally, our biomarker panel was also remarkably effective for identifying peritoneal micrometastasis (AUC = 0.72), and its diagnostic accuracy was significantly enhanced when depth of invasion was included in the model (AUC = 0.85).ConclusionsOur novel transcriptomic signature for risk stratification and identification of high-risk patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis might serve as an important clinical decision making in patients with gastric cancer.

Project description:Background and aimsTumor recurrence is frequent even in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and improved strategies are needed to identify patients at highest risk for such recurrence. We performed genome-wide expression profile analyses to discover and validate a gene signature associated with recurrence in patients with ICC.Approach and resultsFor biomarker discovery, we analyzed genome-wide transcriptomic profiling in ICC tumors from two public data sets: The Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 27) and GSE107943 (n = 28). We identified an eight-gene panel (BIRC5 [baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5], CDC20 [cell division cycle 20], CDH2 [cadherin 2], CENPW [centromere protein W], JPH1 [junctophilin 1], MAD2L1 [mitotic arrest deficient 2 like 1], NEIL3 [Nei like DNA glycosylase 3], and POC1A [POC1 centriolar protein A]) that robustly identified patients with recurrence in the discovery (AUC = 0.92) and in silico validation cohorts (AUC = 0.91). We next analyzed 241 specimens from patients with ICC (training cohort, n = 64; validation cohort, n = 177), followed by Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, to develop an integrated transcriptomic panel and establish a risk-stratification model for recurrence in ICC. We subsequently trained this transcriptomic panel in a clinical cohort (AUC = 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.79-0.95), followed by evaluating its performance in an independent validation cohort (AUC = 0.86; 95% CI = 0.80-0.90). By combining our transcriptomic panel with various clinicopathologic features, we established a risk-stratification model that was significantly superior for the identification of recurrence (AUC = 0.89; univariate HR = 6.08, 95% CI = 3.55-10.41, P < 0.01; and multivariate HR = 3.49, 95% CI = 1.81-6.71, P < 0.01). The risk-stratification model identified potential recurrence in 85% of high-risk patients and nonrecurrence in 76% of low-risk patients, which is dramatically superior to currently used pathological features.ConclusionsWe report a transcriptomic signature for risk-stratification and recurrence prediction that is superior to currently used clinicopathological features in patients with ICC.
