Development of a prognostic index for predicting disease progression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

ABSTRACT: Although recent advances in high-throughput technology and data-driven approach have provided many insights into non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), previous studies are still limited in their ability to predict the clinical behavior of NMIBC including response to intravesical therapy. We aim to develop a prognostic index (PI) consisting of a small gene group that predicts the NMIBC progression and response to intravesical bacillus calmette-guérin (BCG) therapy. We analyzed progression-associated genes using Cox regression analysis and validated their predictive values using a fully connected neural network (FNN) algorithm. By applying a pathway enrichment analysis to these genes, a PI system consisting of small core genes for NMIBC progression was developed. Gene expression profiling in NMIBC patients identified a prognostic gene set for predicting NMIBC progression in multiple patient cohorts. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed a 23-gene signature. We incorporated these genes into the PI system, which was a significant prognostic indicator of NMIBC progression. The PI system was shown to be an independent risk factor by a multivariate analysis and subset stratification according to stage and grade. The subset analysis also revealed that the PI system could identify patients who would benefit from BCG immunotherapy. The 23-gene-based PI represents a promising diagnostic tool for identifying high-risk NMIBC patients who would display different clinical behaviors and response to BCG immunotherapy.

Project description:Full title: Predictive Gene Signatures as Strong Prognostic Indicators of the Effectiveness of Bacillus Calmetteâ??GuÃ©rin (BCG) Immunotherapy in Primary pT1 Bladder Cancers Intravesical BCG immunotherapy is effective in prevention of recurrence and progression in many cases of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, but many patients fail to respond. This study identified predictive gene signatures in primary pT1 bladder cancer with BCG immunotherapy. Fourty-Eight patients with primary pT1 bladder cancer treated with BCG immunotherapy were used. Microarray gene expression analysis of the 48 primary bladder cancers was carried out. Predictive gene signatures were individually selected based on the recurrence and progression status. Among 43,148 unique genes, 424 and 287 candidate predictive genes that could predict recurrence and progression, respectively, were selected. Time to recurrence or progression was shorter for patients with poor-predictive gene signatures than good-predictive gene signatures (log-rank test, p <0.001, respectively). Validation of predictive gene signatures with RT-PCR was nearly identical to those of microarray (log-rank test, p <0.05, respectively). In multivariate regression analysis, predictive gene signatures were the only independent predictors of recurrence (HR 3.38, p = 0.048) or progression (HR 10.49, p = 0.048) in validation cohorts. Predictive gene signatures have strong diagnostic value for determining the response to intravesical BCG immunotherapy in primary pT1 bladder cancer. Keywords: Gene expression, Bladder cancer, BCG Total RNA, extracted from the fresh frozen tissues of 48 pT1 bladder cancers, was isolated by TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies, NY, USA), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The quality and integrity of the RNA were confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining, followed by visual examination under ultraviolet light. Five-hundred nanograms of total RNA were used for labeling hybridization according to the manufacturerâ??s protocol (Illumina HumanWG-6 BeadChip, version 2, Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Arrays were scanned with an Illumina Bead Array Reader confocal scanner (BeadStation 500GXDW; Illumina, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Initial microarray gene expression data were obtained using Bead Studio software with gene expression analysis module (version 3.1.3, Illumina, Inc.).
