[Gene Expression Validation Set] Protein-coding and MicroRNA Biomarkers of Recurrence of Prostate Cancer Following Radical Prostatectomy

ABSTRACT: To identify biomarkers predictive of biochemical recurrence, we isolated the RNA from 70 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) radical prostatectomy specimens with known long term outcome to perform DASL expression profiling with a custom-designed panel of 522 prostate cancer relevant genes that we designed. We identified a panel of ten protein-coding genes and two miRNA genes that could be used to separate patients with and without biochemical recurrence (p < 0.001), as well as for the subset of 42 Gleason score 7 patients (p < 0.001). We performed an independent validation analysis on 40 samples and found that the biomarker panel was also significant at prediction of recurrence for all cases (p = 0.013) and for a subset of 19 Gleason score 7 cases (p = 0.010), both of which were adjusted for relevant clinical information including T-stage, PSA and Gleason score. Importantly, these biomarkers could significantly predict clinical recurrence for Gleason 7 patients. These biomarkers may increase the accuracy of prognostication following radical prostatectomy using formalin-fixed specimens.
