Integrative analysis of DCE-MRI and gene expression profiles in construction of a gene classifier for assessment of hypoxia-related risk of chemoradiotherapy failure in cervical cancer

ABSTRACT: We have previously identified a prognostic 31-gene expression signature in locally advanced cervical cancer that is associated with tumor hypoxia and reflected by the dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) image parameter ABrix. To bring the signature closer to clinical use, we here aimed to construct a classifier with key signature genes that retained an association to ABrix and separated the patients into groups with different hypoxia status and chemoradiotherapy outcome. A training cohort of 42 patients and two independent cohorts of 108 and 131 patients were included. Gene expression data were generated from tumor biopsies by two Illumina array generations (WG6, HT12), and for a subset of 74 patients, by the RT-qPCR platform. The amplitude ABrix in the Brix pharmacokinetic model was extracted from DCE-MR images of 64 patients and used as a measure of hypoxia. Different classifiers were constructed in the training cohort. By evaluating their ability to separate the patients correctly according to ABrix, a 6-gene classifier with strong correlation to ABrix was identified. In validation analyses, the classifier separated the patients into two groups with 5-years progression-free survival probabilities of 85% and 60%. Both the prognostic value and ABrix-association were confirmed in an independent cohort, and robustness across array generations and assay platforms was demonstrated. The prognostic value was independent of existing clinical markers. A robust, prognostic hypoxia classifier has been constructed, and might be used alone or combined with DCE-MR imaging to achieve an early indication of a patient’s risk of failure and allocate high risk patients to adjuvant hypoxia-targeted therapy.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: The number of patients with HCV-related cirrhosis is increasing, leading to a rising risk of complications and death. Prognostic stratification in patients with early-stage cirrhosis is still challenging. We aimed to develop and validate a clinically useful prognostic index based on genomic and clinical variables to identify patients at high risk of disease progression. DESIGN: We developed a prognostic index, comprised of a 186-gene signature validated in our previous genome-wide profiling study, bilirubin (>1?mg/dL) and platelet count (<100?000/mm3), in an Italian HCV cirrhosis cohort (training cohort, n=216, median follow-up 10?years). The gene signature test was implemented using a digital transcript counting (nCounter) assay specifically developed for clinical use and the prognostic index was evaluated using archived specimens from an independent cohort of HCV-related cirrhosis in the USA (validation cohort, n=145, median follow-up 8?years). RESULTS: In the training cohort, the prognostic index was associated with hepatic decompensation (HR=2.71, p=0.003), overall death (HR=6.00, p<0.001), hepatocellular carcinoma (HR=3.31, p=0.001) and progression of Child-Turcotte-Pugh class (HR=6.70, p<0.001). The patients in the validation cohort were stratified into high-risk (16%), intermediate-risk (42%) or low-risk (42%) groups by the prognostic index. The high-risk group had a significantly increased risk of hepatic decompensation (HR=7.36, p<0.001), overall death (HR=3.57, p=0.002), liver-related death (HR=6.49, p<0.001) and all liver-related adverse events (HR=4.98, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A genomic and clinical prognostic index readily available for clinical use was successfully validated, warranting further clinical evaluation for prognostic prediction and clinical trial stratification and enrichment for preventive interventions. 145 liver tissue needle biopsy specimens from U.S. HCV cirrhosis cohort patients with histologically proven cirrhosis lacking evidence and a history of hepatic decompensation or HCC.

Project description:Objective: Globally, esophageal cancer is among the most deadly cancer forms. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are frequently found to have important regulatory roles. We aim to assess the lncRNA expression profile of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and identify prognosis related lncRNAs. Design: LncRNA expression profiles were studied by microarray in paired tumor and normal tissues from 119 ESCC patients, and validated by qRT-PCR. The 119 patients were subsequently divided randomly into training (n=60) and test (n=59) groups. A prognostic signature was developed from the training group using a random forest supervised classification algorithm and a nearest shrunken centroid algorithm, and validated in test group and further in an independent cohort (n=60). The independence of the signature in survival prediction was evaluated by Multivariable Cox regression analysis. Results: LncRNAs showed significantly altered expression in ESCC tissues. From the training group, we identified a three-lncRNA signature (including the lncRNAs ENST00000435885•1, XLOC_013014, and ENST00000547963•1) which classified the patients into two groups with significantly different overall survival (median survival 19•2 months vs. not reached, p<0•0001). The signature was applied to the test group (median survival 21•5 months vs. not reached, p=0•0030) and independent cohort (median survival 25•8 months vs. not reached, p=0•0187) and showed similar prognostic values in both. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that the signature was an independent prognostic factor for ESCC patients. Stratified analysis suggested that the signature was prognostic within clinical stages. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the three-lncRNA signature can serve as a novel biomarker for the prognosis of ESCC patients. Application of it allows for more accurate survival prediction. The lncRNA expression profiles of cancer and adjacent normal tissues form 119 ESCC patients were studied by microarray and an lncRNA signature that can perdict the survival of ESCC patients was identified.
