Different gene expression profiles between de novo and progressive muscle invasive bladder cancer: prognostic implications
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Progressive muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has more aggressive behavior than de novo MIBC. This study aimed to ascertain the differences in gene expression profiles between both MIBC groups and to identify prognostic biomarkers to improve the treatment in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective multicentre study in which 212 MIBC patients (104 progressive and 108 de novo) who underwent radical cystectomy in the Hospital Clinic (Barcelona) and Radboud UMC (Nijmegen) were included. Total RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples was obtained. Gene expression profiles of 27,965 coding transcripts were determined in 26 patients using Illumina microarrays. Expression levels of 94 genes selected from microarray data and literature were studied by quantitative PCR in an independent series of 186 de novo and progressive MIBC patients. Survival analysis was performed with the Kaplan-Meier method. R-software and SPSSv23 were used for all calculations. RESULTS: A total of 480 genes were found differently expressed (FDR<0.01) between progressive and de novo MIBC samples. Differential expression of 23 out of the 94 genes selected was validated in an independent set of samples. Survival analysis showed that expression of eight genes were prognostic factors of BCR. CONCLUSION: De novo and progressive MIBC patients show different gene expression profiles. In addition, we have identified eight genes with prognostic value which may contribute to improve BC risk stratification and, consequently, to tailor treatment and surveillance strategies in these patients.
