Random forest-based modelling to detect novel biomarkers for prostate cancer progression


ABSTRACT: The clinical course of prostate cancer (PCa) is highly variable, demanding an individualized approach to therapy and robust prognostic markers for treatment decisions. We here present a random forest-based classification model to predict aggressive behaviour of PCa. DNA methylation changes between PCa cases with good or poor prognosis (discovery cohort with n=78) were used as input. The model was validated with data from two independent PCa cohorts from ICGC and TCGA. Ranking of cancer progression-related DNA methylation changes allowed selection of candidate genes for additional validation by immunohistochemistry. We identified loss of ZIC2 protein expression as a promising novel prognostic biomarker for PCa in >12,000 tissue micro-array tumors. The prognostic value of ZIC2 proved to be independent from established clinico-pathological variables including Gleason, stage, nodal stage and PSA. In summary, we have developed a PCa classification model which either directly or via expression analyses of the identified top ranked candidate genes might help in decision making related to the treatment of prostate cancer patients.
