Ferroptosis-Related Long Noncoding RNAs as Prognostic Marker for Colon Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) has been increasing over time. Although ferroptosis and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been extensively reported to participate in the tumorigenesis and development of COAD, few studies have investigated the role of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs in the prognosis of COAD.

Methods

Gene-sequencing and clinical data for COAD were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The coexpression network was constructed using known ferroptosis-related genes. Cox and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used to screen ferroptosis-related lncRNAs with prognostic value and to identify a predictive model of COAD. Patients with COAD were divided into low- and high-risk groups according to their risk score. Cases of COAD in the International Cancer Genome Consortium database were included as the testing cohort.

Results

In total, nine lncRNAs (LINC02381, AC105219.1, AC009283.1, LINC01011, ELFN1-AS1, EIF3J-DT, NKILA, LINC01063, and SNHG16) were considered prognostic factors for COAD. Then, a risk score model was established. The overall survival rate of COAD patients was negatively associated with the risk score. Kaplan-Meier analyses in the original and testing cohorts showed similar results. The expression of the lncRNAs in tissue was consistent with the risk score, and the relationship with tumor mutation burden, immunity, and drug sensitivity presented a marked link between the signature and COAD. A nomogram was established for clinical applications.

Conclusions

Nine ferroptosis-related lncRNAs and the established signature have a certain predictive value for prognosis of COAD patients and can be used as potential research targets for exploring treatment of COAD.

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly malignant gynecologic tumor with few treatments available and poor prognosis with the currently available diagnostic markers and interventions. More effective methods for diagnosis and treatment are urgently needed. Although the current evidence implicates ferroptosis in the development and therapeutic responses of various types of tumors, it is unclear to what extent ferroptosis affects OC. To explore the potential of ferroptosis-related genes as biomarkers and molecular targets for OC diagnosis and intervention, this study collected several datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas-OC (TCGA-OC), analyzed and identified the coexpression profiles of 60 ferroptosis-related genes and two subtypes of OC with respect to ferroptosis and further examined and analyzed the differentially expressed genes between the two subtypes. The results indicated that the expression levels of ferroptosis genes were significantly correlated with prognosis in patients with OC. Single-factor Cox and LASSO analysis identified eight lncRNAs from the screened ferroptosis-related genes, including lncRNAs RP11-443B7.3, RP5-1028K7.2, TRAM2-AS1, AC073283.4, RP11-486G15.2, RP11-95H3.1, RP11-958F21.1, and AC006129.1. A risk scoring model was constructed from the ferroptosis-related lncRNAs and showed good performance in the evaluation of OC patient prognosis. The high- and low-risk groups based on tumor scores presented obvious differences in clinical characteristics, tumor mutation burden, and tumor immune cell infiltration, indicating that the risk score has a good ability to predict the benefit of immunotherapy and may provide data to support the implementation of precise immunotherapy for OC. Although in vivo tests and research are needed in the future, our bioinformatics analysis powerfully supported the effectiveness of the risk signature of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs for prognosis prediction in OC. The findings suggest that these eight identified lncRNAs have great potential for development as diagnostic markers and intervention targets for OC and that patients with high ferroptosis-related lncRNA expression will receive greater benefits from conventional chemotherapy or treatment with ferroptosis inducers.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of ferroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in bladder cancer remains elusive. This study is aimed at examining the prognostic role of ferroptosis-related lncRNAs in bladder cancer.Materials and methodsThe transcriptomic matrix and clinical information of patients with bladder cancer were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. A ferroptosis-related lncRNA signature was developed via the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis using data from the training cohort, and the signature was further validated using data from the test cohort. The role of AC006160.1, the most significant lncRNA in the risk signature, was examined in various cell lines including SV-HUC-1, BIU-87, HT-1376, T24, RT4, RT-112, 5637, and UMUC3. The pcDNA3.1-AC006160.1 plasmid was constructed and transfected into the bladder cancer cell lines T24 and BIU-87. In addition, cell proliferation, colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays were performed to examine the biological function of AC006160.1 in T24 and BIU-87 cell lines.ResultsTwo clusters were identified through consensus clustering based on prognostic ferroptosis-related lncRNAs. A 5-lncRNA risk signature was successfully constructed using data from the training cohort and validated using data from the test cohort. The risk signature had excellent ability to predict survival outcomes, clinical stages, pathological grades, expression of immune checkpoints, and immunotherapeutic responses in bladder cancer samples. Furthermore, AC006160.1 expression was found to be lower in the cancer cell lines BIU-87, T24, RT4, RT-112, and 5637 than in the normal control cell line SV-HUC-1. Cell proliferation, colony formation, transwell migration, and wound healing assays validated that overexpression of AC006160.1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and invasion abilities of both T24 and BIU-87 cells. Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that patients with high expression of AC006160.1 were sensitive to metformin and methotrexate, and the results were further validated via in vitro drug experiments.ConclusionsFerroptosis-related lncRNAs play a vital role in predicting the multiomic characteristics of bladder cancer. The lncRNA AC006160.1 serves as a protective factor for the development of bladder cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is one of the most common and fatal malignant tumors, which increases the difficulty of prognostic predictions. Thus, new biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of COAD should be explored. Ferroptosis is a recently identified programmed cell death process that has the characteristics of iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation. However, the predictive value of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) for COAD still needs to be further clarified. AIM To identify some critical FRGs and construct a COAD patient prognostic signature for clinical utilization. METHODS The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus databases were the data sources for mRNA expression and corresponding COAD patient clinical information. Differentially expressed FRGs were recognized using R and Perl software. We constructed a multi-FRG signature of the TCGA-COAD cohort by performing a univariate Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression analysis. COAD patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus cohort were utilized for verification. RESULTS Our research showed that most of the FRGs (85%) were differentially expressed between the corresponding adjacent normal tissues and cancer tissues in the TCGA-COAD cohort. Seven FRGs were related to overall survival (OS) in the univariate Cox analysis (all P < 0.05). A model with five FRGs (AKR1C1, AKR1C3, ALOX12, CRYAB, and FDFT1) was constructed to divide patients into high- and low-risk groups. The OS of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower than that of the low-risk group (all P < 0.01 in the TCGA and Gene Expression Omnibus cohorts). The risk score was an independent prognosticator of OS in the multivariate Cox analysis (hazard ratio > 1, P < 0.01). The predictive capacity of the model was verified by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. In addition, a nomogram based on the expression of five hub FRGs and risk score can precisely predict the OS of individual COAD cancer patients. Immune correlation analysis and functional enrichment analysis results revealed that immunology-related pathways were abundant, and the immune states of the high-risk group and the low-risk group were different. CONCLUSION In conclusion, a novel five FRG model can be utilized for predicting prognosis in COAD. Targeting ferroptosis may be a treatment option for COAD.
