Bladder cancer is one of the highly heterogeneous disorders accompanied by a poor prognosis. This study aimed to construct a model based on pyroptosis‑related lncRNA to evaluate the potential prognostic application in bladder cancer. The mRNA expression profiles of bladder cancer patients and corresponding clinical data were downloaded from the public database from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Pyroptosis‑related lncRNAs were identified by utilizing a co-expression network of Pyroptosis‑related genes and lncRNAs. The lncRNA was further screened by univariate Cox regression analysis. Finally, 8 pyroptosis-related lncRNA markers were established using Lasso regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Patients were separated into high and low-risk groups based on the performance value of the median risk score. Patients in the high-risk group had significantly poorer overall survival (OS) than those in the low-risk group (p < 0.001), and In multivariate Cox regression analysis, the risk score was an independent predictive factor of OS ( HR>1, P<0.01). The area under the curve (AUC) of the 3- and 5-year OS in the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.742 and 0.739 respectively. In conclusion, these 8 pyroptosis-related lncRNA and their markers may be potential molecular markers and therapeutic targets for bladder cancer patients.

Abstract Background Autophagy is an orderly catabolic process for degrading and removing unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components such as proteins and organelles. Although autophagy is known to play an important role in various types of cancer, the effects of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) on colon cancer have not been well studied. Methods Expression profiles from ARGs in 457 colon cancer patients were retrieved from the TCGA database (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov). Differentially expressed ARGs and ARGs related to overall patient survival were identified. Cox proportional-hazard models were used to investigate the association between ARG expression profiles and patient prognosis. Results Twenty ARGs were significantly associated with the overall survival of colon cancer patients. Five of these ARGs had a mutation rate ≥ 3%. Patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on Cox regression analysis of 8 ARGs. Low-risk patients had a significantly longer survival time than high-risk patients (p < 0.001). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the resulting risk score, which was associated with infiltration depth and metastasis, could be an independent predictor of patient survival. A nomogram was established to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival of colon cancer patients based on 5 independent prognosis factors, including the risk score. The prognostic nomogram with online webserver was more effective and convenient to provide information for researchers and clinicians. Conclusion The 8 ARGs can be used to predict the prognosis of patients and provide information for their individualized treatment.

Abstract Background. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ferroptosis and the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).Methods. RNA-seq data was collected from the LUAD dataset of The Cancer Genome Altas (TCGA) database. We used ferroptosis-related genes as the basis, and identify the differential expression genes (DEGs) between cancer and paracancer. The univariate Cox regression analysis were used to screen the prognostic-related genes. We divided the patients into training and validation sets. Then, we screened out key genes and built a 5 genes prognostic prediction model by the applications of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) 10-fold cross-validation and the multi-variate Cox regression analysis. We divided the cases by the median value of risk score and validated this model in the validation set. Meanwhile, we analyzed the somatic mutations, and estimated the score of immune infiltration in the high- and low-risk groups, as well as performed functional enrichment analysis of DEGs.Results. The result revealed that the high-risk score triggered the worse prognosis. The maximum area under curve (AUC) of the training set and the validation set of in this study was 0.7 and 0.69. Moreover, we integrated the age, gender, and tumor stage to construct the composite nomogram. The charts indicated that the AUC of cases with survival time of 1, 3 and 5 years are 0.698, 0.71 and 0.73. In addition, the mutation frequency of patients in the high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group. Simultaneously, DEGs were mainly enriched in ferroptosis-related pathways by analyzing the functional results.Conclusion. This study constructed a novel LUAD prognosis prediction model base on 5 ferroptosis-related genes, which can provide a prognostic evaluation tool for the clinical therapeutic decision.

AbstractLong non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a prognostic biomarker for many types of cancer. Here, we aimed to study the prognostic value of lncRNA in Breast Invasive Carcinoma (BRCA). We downloaded expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. Subsequently, we screened the differentially expressed genes between normal tissues and tumor tissues. Univariate Cox, LASSO regression, and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to construct a lncRNA prognostic model. Finally, a nomogram based on the lncRNAs model was developed, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to predict mRNAs related to the model, and to perform function and pathway enrichment. We constructed a 6-lncRNA prognostic model. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the 6-lncRNA model could be used as an independent prognostic factor for BRCA patients. We developed a nomogram based on the lncRNAs model and age, and showed good performance in predicting the survival rates of BRCA patients. Also, functional pathway enrichment analysis showed that genes related to the model were enriched in cell cycle-related pathways. Tumor immune infiltration analysis showed that the types of immune cells and their expression levels in the high-risk group were significantly different from those in the low-risk group. In general, the 6-lncRNA prognostic model and nomogram could be used as a practical and reliable prognostic tool for invasive breast cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is known as “the king of cancer,” and ubiquitination/deubiquitination-related genes are key contributors to its development. Our study aimed to identify ubiquitination/deubiquitination-related genes associated with the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients by the bioinformatics method and then construct a risk model. In this study, the gene expression profiles and clinical data of pancreatic cancer patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Genotype-tissue Expression (GTEx) database. Ubiquitination/deubiquitination-related genes were obtained from the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify differentially expressed ubiquitination-related genes selected from GSEA which were associated with the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Using multivariate Cox regression analysis, we detected eight optimal ubiquitination-related genes (RNF7, NPEPPS, NCCRP1, BRCA1, TRIM37, RNF25, CDC27, and UBE2H) and then used them to construct a risk model to predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Finally, the eight risk genes were validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database, the results showed that the protein expression level of the eight genes was generally consistent with those at the transcriptional level. Our findings suggest the risk model constructed from these eight ubiquitination-related genes can accurately and reliably predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. These eight genes have the potential to be further studied as new biomarkers or therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer.

Background. This study aims to develop novel signatures for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Methods. GBM expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were downloaded and DEGs between tumor and normal samples were identified by differential expression analysis (DEA). A risk signature was developed by applying weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and Cox regression analysis. Patients were divided into high and low risk group, followed by evaluating the performance of the signature via Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. In addition, the prognostic significance of the signature was further validated using an independent validation dataset from Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). DEGs between high and low risk group were subjected to functional annotation. Results. A total of 748 DEGs were identified between primary tumor and normal samples. Following WGCNA and Cox regression analysis, 6 DEGs were identified and used to construct a risk signature. The signature showed high performance in both training and validation dataset. Subsequently, 397 DEGs were identified between high and low risk group. These DEGs were mainly enriched in terms related to calcium signaling, cAMP-mediated signaling, and synaptic transmission. Conclusions. The risk signature may contribute to GBM diagnosis in future clinical practice.

Background: Survival rates for highly invasive bladder cancer (BC) patients have been very low, with a 5-year survival rate of 6%. Accurate prediction of tumor progression and survival is important for diagnosis and therapeutic decisions for BC patients. Our study aims to develop an autophagy-related-gene (ARG) signature that helps to predict the survival of BC patients. Methods: RNA-seq data of 403 BC patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma (TCGA-BLCA) database. Univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify overall survival (OS)-related ARGs. The Lasso Cox regression model was applied to establish an ARG signature in the TCGA training cohort (N = 203). The performance of the 11-gene ARG signature was further evaluated in a training cohort and an independent validation cohort (N = 200) using Kaplan-Meier OS curve analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, as well as univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: Our study identified an 11-gene ARG signature that is significantly associated with OS, including APOL1, ATG4B, BAG1, CASP3, DRAM1, ITGA3, KLHL24, P4HB, PRKCD, ULK2, and WDR45. The ARGs-derived high-risk bladder cancer patients exhibited significantly poor OS in both training and validation cohorts. The prognostic model showed good predictive efficacy, with the area under the ROC curve (AUCs) for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival of 0.702 (0.695), 0.744 (0.640), and 0.794 (0.658) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A prognostic nomogram, which included the ARGs-derived risk factor, age and stage for eventual clinical translation, was established. Conclusion: We identified a novel ARG signature for risk-stratification and robust prediction of overall survival for BC patients.

Abstract Background Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies and has a relatively poor outcome worldwide. In this study, we attempted to construct a novel metabolism-related gene (MRG) signature for predicting the survival probability of BC patients. Methods First, differentially expressed MRGs between BC and normal samples were identified and used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and perform mutation analysis. Next, univariate Cox regression analysis was utilized to select prognostic genes, and multivariate Cox regression analysis was applied to establish an MRG signature for predicting the survival probability of BC patients. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were performed to evaluate the predictive capability of the MRG signature. Finally, a nomogram based on the MRG signature was established to better predict the survival of BC. Results In the present study, 27 differentially expressed MRGs were identified, most of which presented mutations in BC patients, and LRP1 showed the highest mutation rate. Next, an MRG signature, including MAOB, FASN and LRP1, was established by using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Furthermore, survival analysis indicated that BC patients in the high-risk group had a dramatically lower survival probability than those in the low-risk group. Finally, Cox regression analysis showed that the risk score was an independent prognostic factor, and a nomogram integrating age, pathological tumor stage and risk score was established and presented good predictive ability. Conclusion We successfully constructed a novel MRG signature to predict the prognosis of BC patients, which might contribute to the clinical treatment of BC.
