There have been several reports about the potential for predicting prognosis of neuroblastoma patients using microarray gene expression profiling of the tumors. However these studies have revealed an apparent diversity in the identity of the genes in their predictive signatures. To test the contribution of the platform to this discrepancy we applied the z-scoring method to minimize the impact of platform and combine gene expression profiles of neuroblastoma (NB) tumors from two different platforms, cDNA and Affymetrix. A total of 12442 genes were common to both cDNA and Affymetrix arrays in our data set. Two-way ANOVA analysis was applied to the combined data set for assessing the relative effect of prognosis and platform on gene expression. We found that 26.6% (3307) of the genes had significant impact on survival. There was no significant impact of microarray platform on expression after application of z-scoring standardization procedure. Artificial neural network (ANN) analysis of the combined data set in a leave-one-out prediction strategy correctly predicted the outcome for 90% of the samples. Hierarchical clustering analysis using the top-ranked 160 genes showed the great separation of two clusters, and the majority of matched samples from the different platforms were clustered next to each other. The ANN classifier trained with our combined cross-platform data for these 160 genes could predict the prognosis of 102 independent test samples with 71% accuracy. Furthermore it correctly predicted the outcome for 85/102 (83%) NB patients through the leave-one-out cross-validation approach. Our study showed that gene expression studies performed in different platforms could be integrated for prognosis analysis after removing variation resulting from different platforms.  相似文献

Gene expression profiling has been used to characterize prognosis in various cancers. Earlier studies had shown that side population cells isolated from Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) cell lines exhibit cancer stem cell properties. In this study we apply a systems biology approach to gene expression profiling data from cancer stem like cells isolated from lung cancer cell lines to identify novel gene signatures that could predict prognosis. Microarray data from side population (SP) and main population (MP) cells isolated from 4 NSCLC lines (A549, H1650, H460, H1975) were used to examine gene expression profiles associated with stem like properties. Differentially expressed genes that were over or under-expressed at least two fold commonly in all 4 cell lines were identified. We found 354 were upregulated and 126 were downregulated in SP cells compared to MP cells; of these, 89 up and 62 downregulated genes (average 2 fold changes) were used for Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and MetaCore™ pathway analysis. The pathway analysis demonstrated representation of 4 up regulated genes (TOP2A, AURKB, BRRN1, CDK1) in chromosome condensation pathway and 1 down regulated gene FUS in chromosomal translocation. Microarray data was validated using qRT-PCR on the 5 selected genes and all showed robust correlation between microarray and qRT-PCR. Further, we analyzed two independent gene expression datasets that included 360 lung adenocarcinoma patients from NCI Director''s Challenge Set for overall survival and 63 samples from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) for recurrence free survival. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test analysis predicted poor survival of patients in both data sets. Our results suggest that genes involved in chromosome condensation are likely related with stem-like properties and might predict survival in lung adenocarcinoma. Our findings highlight a gene signature for effective identification of lung adenocarcinoma patients with poor prognosis and designing more aggressive therapies for such patients.  相似文献

To investigate whether specific obesity/metabolism‐related gene expression patterns affect the survival of patients with ovarian cancer. Clinical and genomic data of 590 samples from the high‐grade ovarian serous carcinoma (HGOSC) study of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and 91 samples from the Australian Ovarian Cancer Study were downloaded from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) portal. Clustering of mRNA microarray and reverse‐phase protein array (RPPA) data was performed with 83 consensus driver genes and 144 obesity and lipid metabolism‐related genes. Association between different clusters and survival was analyzed with the Kaplan–Meier method and a Cox regression. Mutually exclusive, co‐occurrence and network analyses were also carried out. Using RNA and RPPA data, it was possible to identify two subsets of HGOSCs with similar clinical characteristics and cancer driver mutation profiles (e.g. TP53), but with different outcome. These differences depend more on up‐regulation of specific obesity and lipid metabolism‐related genes than on the number of gene mutations or copy number alterations. It was also found that CD36 and TGF‐ß are highly up‐regulated at the protein levels in the cluster with the poorer outcome. In contrast, BSCL2 is highly up‐regulated in the cluster with better progression‐free and overall survival. Different obesity/metabolism‐related gene expression patterns constitute a risk factor for prognosis independent of the therapy results in the Cox regression. Prognoses were conditioned by the differential expression of obesity and lipid metabolism‐related genes in HGOSCs with similar cancer driver mutation profiles, independent of the initial therapeutic response.  相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors and the third of cancer mortality worldwide. Although the study of HCC has made great progress, the molecular mechanism and signal pathways of HCC are not yet clear. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the early diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers for HCC. The aim of this study is to screen the relevant genes and study the association of gene expression with the survival status of HCC patients using bioinformatics approaches, in the hope of establishing marker genes for diagnosis and prognosis of HCC. The gene expression data and corresponding clinical information of HCC samples were downloaded from the The Cancer Genome Atlas database. We performed to study the relationship between gene expression and prognosis of HCC and screen significantly relevant genes associated with prognosis of HCC by analyzing survival and function enrichment of genes. In this study, we collected 421 samples with gene expression data, including 371 tumor samples and 50 normal samples. By using single factor Cox regression analysis, we screened 1,197 genes significantly associated with survival time in the modeling data containing 117 samples and also searched six genes as the best markers to predict living status of HCC patients. Besides, we established score system of survival risk of HCC. Our study recognized six genes (PGBD3, PGM5P3-AS1, RNF5, UTP11, BAG6, and KCND2) to be significantly associated with diagnosis and prognosis of HCC, providing novel targets for studying potential mechanism about the progression of HCC.  相似文献

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly heterogeneous leading to variable prognosis and treatment responses. Therefore, it is necessary to explore novel personalized and reproducible prognostic signatures to aid clinical decision‐making. The present study combined large‐scale gene expression profiles and clinical data of 1828 patients with CRC from multi‐centre studies and identified a personalized gene prognostic signature consisting of 46 unique genes (called function‐derived personalized gene signature [FunPGS]) from an integrated statistics and function‐derived perspective. In the meta‐training and multiple independent validation cohorts, the FunPGS effectively discriminated patients with CRC with significantly different prognosis at the individual level and remained as an independent factor upon adjusting for clinical covariates in multivariate analysis. Furthermore, the FunPGS demonstrated superior performance for risk stratification with respect to other recently reported signatures and clinical factors. The complementary value of the molecular signature and clinical factors was further explored, and it was observed that the composite signature called IMCPS greatly improved the predictive performance of survival estimation relative to molecular signatures or clinical factors alone. With further prospective validation in clinical trials, the FunPGS may become a promising and powerful personalized prognostic tool for stratifying patients with CRC in order to achieve an optimal systemic therapy.  相似文献

Urinary bladder neoplasm is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been proven to be an important cause of cancer progression and poor prognosis. In the present study, we established bladder CSCs and identified the crucial differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between these cells and parental bladder cancer cells. Analyses of bioinformatics data and clinical samples from local hospitals showed that stearoyl CoA desaturase‐1 (SCD) was the key factor among the DEGs. A significant correlation between SCD gene expression and poor prognosis among patients with bladder cancer was observed in our data. Loss‐of‐function experiments further revealed that the SCD inhibitor A939572 and SCD gene interference reduced cell proliferation and invasion. The above data suggest that SCD may serve as a novel marker for the prediction of tumour progression and poor prognosis in patients with bladder cancer.  相似文献

Determination of stromal signatures in breast carcinoma   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
Many soft tissue tumors recapitulate features of normal connective tissue. We hypothesize that different types of fibroblastic tumors are representative of different populations of fibroblastic cells or different activation states of these cells. We examined two tumors with fibroblastic features, solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF), by DNA microarray analysis and found that they have very different expression profiles, including significant differences in their patterns of expression of extracellular matrix genes and growth factors. Using immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization on a tissue microarray, we found that genes specific for these two tumors have mutually specific expression in the stroma of nonneoplastic tissues. We defined a set of 786 gene spots whose pattern of expression distinguishes SFT from DTF. In an analysis of DNA microarray gene expression data from 295 previously published breast carcinomas, we found that expression of this gene set defined two groups of breast carcinomas with significant differences in overall survival. One of the groups had a favorable outcome and was defined by the expression of DTF genes. The other group of tumors had a poor prognosis and showed variable expression of genes enriched for SFT type. Our findings suggest that the host stromal response varies significantly among carcinomas and that gene expression patterns characteristic of soft tissue tumors can be used to discover new markers for normal connective tissue cells.  相似文献

Cardiovascular disease (including coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction) is one of the leading causes of death in Europe, and is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. With the recent advances in genomic tools and technologies there is potential to predict and diagnose heart disease using molecular data from analysis of blood cells. We analyzed gene expression data from blood samples taken from normal people (n = 21), non-significant coronary artery disease (n = 93), patients with unstable angina (n = 16), stable coronary artery disease (n = 14) and myocardial infarction (MI; n = 207). We used a feature selection approach to identify a set of gene expression variables which successfully differentiate different cardiovascular diseases. The initial features were discovered by fitting a linear model for each probe set across all arrays of normal individuals and patients with myocardial infarction. Three different feature optimisation algorithms were devised which identified two discriminating sets of genes, one using MI and normal controls (total genes = 6) and another one using MI and unstable angina patients (total genes = 7). In all our classification approaches we used a non-parametric k-nearest neighbour (KNN) classification method (k = 3). The results proved the diagnostic robustness of the final feature sets in discriminating patients with myocardial infarction from healthy controls. Interestingly it also showed efficacy in discriminating myocardial infarction patients from patients with clinical symptoms of cardiac ischemia but no myocardial necrosis or stable coronary artery disease, despite the influence of batch effects and different microarray gene chips and platforms.  相似文献

Accurate prediction of survival of cancer patients is still a key open problem in clinical research. Recently, many large-scale gene expression clusterings have identified sets of genes reportedly predictive of prognosis; however, those gene sets shared few genes in common and were poorly validated using independent data. We have developed a systems biology-based approach by using either combined gene sets and the protein interaction network (Method A) or the protein network alone (Method B) to identify common prognostic genes based on microarray gene expression data of glioblastoma multiforme and compared with differential gene expression clustering (Method C). Validations of prediction performance show that the 23-prognostic gene classifier identified by Method A outperforms other gene classifiers identified by Methods B and C or previously reported for gliomas on 17 of 20 independent sample cohorts across five tumor types. We also find that among the 23 genes are 21 related to cellular proliferation and two related to response to stress/immune response. We further find that the increased expression of the 21 genes and the decreased expression of the other two genes are associated with poorer survival, which is supportive with the notion that cellular proliferation and immune response contribute to a significant portion of predictive power of prognostic classifiers. Our results demonstrate that the systems biology-based approach enables to identify common survival-associated genes.  相似文献

Circadian rhythm describes the 24-h oscillation in physiology and behavior of living organisms and presents a timing controller for life activity. Studies in recent years have reported that the abnormal expression of clock genes is closely related to the development of common abdominal malignant tumors. The expression of the 14 kinds of clock genes in 6 abdominal malignant tumors from Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data was integrated and analyzed using R and Perl programming languages to show the association between clock gene expression and prognosis of cancer patients. Analysis of TCGA data indicated that the overexpression of Per1-3, Cry2, CLOCK, NR1D2 and RORA with underexpression of Timeless and NPAS2 was associated with a favorable prognosis in kidney cancer. In liver cancer, high expressions of Cry2 and RORA were correlated with prolonged overall survival (OS) in patients, while high expressions of NPAS2 and Timeless were correlated with a poor survival. High expression of CLOCK was positively correlated with OS in colon cancer patients. High expression of Cry2 and low expression of DEC1 were associated with a favorable prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients, respectively. Most of these clock-genes expressions were closely related to the clinical stage and degree of tumor differentiation of patients. Aberrant clock gene expression is related to the biological characteristics of abdominal malignant tumors, which likely has a causal role in cancer development and survival.  相似文献

Thyroid cancer is a frequently diagnosed malignancy and the incidence has been increased rapidly in recent years. Despite the favorable prognosis of most thyroid cancer patients, advanced patients with metastasis and recurrence still have poor prognosis. Therefore, the molecular mechanisms of progression and targeted biomarkers were investigated for developing effective targets for treating thyroid cancer. Eight chip datasets from the gene expression omnibus database were selected and the inSilicoDb and inSilicoMerging R/Bioconductor packages were used to integrate and normalize them across platforms. After merging the eight gene expression omnibus datasets, we obtained one dataset that contained the expression profiles of 319 samples (188 tumor samples plus 131 normal thyroid tissue samples). After screening, we identified 594 significantly differentially expressed genes (277 up-regulated genes plus 317 down-regulated genes) between the tumor and normal tissue samples. The differentially expressed genes exhibited enrichment in multiple signaling pathways, such as p53 signaling. By building a protein–protein interaction network and module analysis, we confirmed seven hub genes, and they were all differentially expressed at all the clinical stages of thyroid cancer. A diagnostic seven-gene signature was established using a logistic regression model with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.967. Seven robust candidate biomarkers predictive of thyroid cancer were identified, and the obtained seven-gene signature may serve as a useful marker for thyroid cancer diagnosis and prognosis.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Medullary thyroid carcinoma occurs both as a sporadic and a familial disease. Inherited MTC (iMTC) patients usually exhibit better prognosis than patients with sporadic form of MTC (sMTC), however, in both subtypes the outcome is unpredictable. No molecular markers contributing to the prognosis or predicting the type of therapy have been introduced to clinical practice until now. The aim of this study was to analyze gene expression pattern of MTC by high density oligonucleotide microarray. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 24 samples were studied: 12 MTC and 12 corresponding normal tissues, (Affymetrix HG-U 133A). Among MTC patients there were half inherited cases and half sporadic ones. RESULTS: First, the differences between MTC and thyroid tissue were analyzed by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) which indicated three main modes determining the variability of gene expression profile: the first two were related to the tumor/normal tissue difference and the third one was related to the immune response. The characteristic expression pattern, beside of numerous changes within cancer- related genes, included many up-regulated genes specific for thyroid C cells. Further analysis of the second component revealed two subgroups of MTC, but the subdivision was not related to the iMTC/sMTC difference. Recursive Feature Replacement (RFR) confirmed the very similar expression profile in both forms of MTC. With subsequent ANOVA analysis some genes with differential expression could be specified, among them monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) and gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABRR1) which were consistently up-regulated in sMTC. In contrary, some genes involved in regulation of cell proliferation: opioid growth factor receptor(OGFR) and synaptotagmin V (SYT 5) were up-regulated in iMTC. CONCLUSIONS: The obtained data indicate a very similar gene expression pattern in inherited and sporadic MTC. Minor differences in their molecular profile require further analysis.  相似文献
