Prognostic Significance of HMGA1 Expression in Lung Cancer Based on Bioinformatics Analysis.

ABSTRACT: High-mobility group protein 1 (HMGA1) participates in the processes of DNA transcription, replication, recombination, and repair. The HMGA1 gene is expressed abundantly during embryogenesis and is reactivated during carcinogenesis. HMGA1 gene expression has been associated with a high degree of malignancy, metastatic tendency, and poor survival in breast, colon, ovary, and pancreatic cancers. However, its prognostic significance in lung cancer remains unclear. Using publicly available data, HMGA1 was shown to be overexpressed in both small and non-small lung tumors, with higher expression compared to both the adjacent non-malignant lung tissues and non-tumor lung tissues of healthy individuals. Elevated HMGA1 expression could result from lowered HMGA1 methylation and was connected with some clinicopathological features like sex, age, and stage of the disease. The high HMGA1 expression level was connected with shorter overall and first progression survival time among lung adenocarcinoma patients, but not lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. HMGA1 could interact with proteins involved in cellular senescence and cell cycle control (TP53, RB1, RPS6KB1, and CDK1), transcription regulation (EP400 and HMGA2), chromatin assembly and remodeling (LMNB1), and cholesterol and isoprene biosynthesis (HMGCR and INSIG1). Taken together, HMGA1 overexpression could be an essential element of lung carcinogenesis and a prognostic feature in lung cancer.

Project description:As the major component of the tumor matrix, collagen greatly influences tumor invasion and prognosis. The present study compared the remodeling of collagen and collagenase in 56 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) using Sirius red stain and immunohistochemistry, exploring the relationship between collagen remodeling and the prognosis of CRC. Weak or strong changes in collagen fiber arrangement in birefringence were observed. With the exception of a higher density, weak changes equated to a similar arrangement in normal collagen, while strong changes facilitated cross‑linking into bundles. Compared with normal tissues, collagen I (COL I) and III (COL III) deposition was significantly increased in CRC tissues, and was positively correlated with the metastasis status. In tissues without distant metastasis, collagen IV (COL IV) levels were higher than that in normal tissues, while in tissues with distant metastasis, collagen IV expression was significantly lower. Furthermore, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‑1, MMP‑2, MMP‑7, MMP‑9 and lysyl oxidase‑like 2 (LOXL2) was found to be elevated in the cancer stroma, which contributed to the hyperactive remodeling of collagen. The association between collagen‑related genes and the occurrence and prognosis of CRC were analyzed using biometric databases. The results indicated that patients with upregulated expression of a combination of coding genes for collagen and collagenase exhibited poorer overall survival times. The coding genes COL1A1‑2, COL3A1, COL4A3, COL4A6 and MMP2 may therefore be used as biomarkers to predict the prognosis of patients with CRC. Furthermore, the results of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis suggest that collagen may promote tumor development by activating platelets. Collectively, the abnormal collagen remodeling, including associated protein and coding genes is associated with the tumorigenesis and metastasis, affecting the prognosis of patients with CRC.
