Development and Verification of a Hypoxic Gene Signature for Predicting Prognosis, Immune Microenvironment, and Chemosensitivity for Osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Hypoxic tumors contribute to local failure and distant metastases. Nevertheless, the molecular hallmarks of hypoxia remain ill-defined in osteosarcoma. Here, we developed a hypoxic gene signature in osteosarcoma prognoses. Methods: With the random survival forest algorithm, a prognostic hypoxia-related gene signature was constructed for osteosarcoma in the TARGET cohort. Overall survival (OS) analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, multivariate cox regression analysis, and subgroup analysis were utilized for assessing the predictive efficacy of this signature. Also, external validation was presented in the GSE21257 cohort. GSEA was applied for signaling pathways involved in the high- and low-risk samples. Correlation analyses between risk score and immune cells, stromal/immune score, immune checkpoints, and sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs were performed in osteosarcoma. Then, a nomogram was built by integrating risk score, age, and gender. Results: A five-hypoxic gene signature was developed for predicting survival outcomes of osteosarcoma patients. ROC curves confirmed that this signature possessed the well predictive performance on osteosarcoma prognosis. Furthermore, it could be independently predictive of prognosis. Metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 and nitrogen metabolism were activated in the high-risk samples while cell adhesion molecules cams and intestinal immune network for IgA production were enriched in the low-risk samples. The low-risk samples were characterized by elevated immune cell infiltrations, stromal/immune scores, TNFRSF4 expression, and sensitivity to cisplatin. The nomogram accurately predicted 1-, 3-, and 5-years survival duration. Conclusion: These findings might offer an insight into the optimization of prognosis risk stratification and individualized therapy for osteosarcoma patients.

Project description:ObjectiveOsteosarcoma (OS) is a common bone malignancy with poor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the relationship between cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLncs) and the survival outcomes of patients with OS.MethodsTranscriptome and clinical data of 86 patients with OS were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The GSE16088 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The 10 cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) were obtained from a recently published article on cuproptosis in Science. Combined analysis of OS transcriptome data and the GSE16088 dataset identified differentially expressed CRGs related to OS. Next, pathway enrichment analysis was performed. Co-expression analysis obtained CRLncs related to OS. Univariate COX regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis were used to construct the risk prognostic model of CRLncs. The samples were divided evenly into training and test groups to verify the accuracy of the model. Risk curve, survival, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and independent prognostic analyses were performed. Next, principal component analysis (PCA) and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) analysis were performed. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to explore the correlation between the risk prognostic models and OS immune microenvironment. Drug sensitivity analysis identified drugs with potential efficacy in OS. Real-time quantitative PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry analyses verified the expression of CRGs in OS. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to verify the expression of CRLncs in OS.ResultsSix CRLncs that can guide OS prognosis and immune microenvironment were obtained, including three high-risk CRLncs (AL645608.6, AL591767.1, and UNC5B-AS1) and three low-risk CRLncs (CARD8-AS1, AC098487.1, and AC005041.3). Immune cells such as B cells, macrophages, T-helper type 2 (Th2) cells, regulatory T cells (Treg), and immune functions such as APC co-inhibition, checkpoint, and T-cell co-inhibition were significantly downregulated in high-risk groups. In addition, we obtained four drugs with potential efficacy for OS: AUY922, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and Z.LLNle.CHO. The expression of LIPT1, DLAT, and FDX1 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly elevated in OS cell lines compared with normal osteoblast hFOB1.19. The mRNA expression level of AL591767.1 was decreased in OS, and that of AL645608.6, CARD8-AS1, AC005041.3, AC098487.1, and UNC5B-AS1 was upregulated in OS.ConclusionCRLncs that can guide OS prognosis and the immune microenvironment and drugs that may have a potential curative effect on OS obtained in this study provide a theoretical basis for OS survival research and clinical decision-making.
