Integrative analysis of mRNA and miRNA expression profiles and somatic variants in oxysterol signaling in early-stage luminal breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Oxysterols, oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, act in breast cancer (BC) as selective estrogen receptor modulators and affect cholesterol homeostasis, drug transport, nuclear and cell receptors, and other signaling proteins. Using data from three highly overlapping sets of patients (N = 162 in total) with early-stage estrogen-receptor-positive luminal BC-high-coverage targeted DNA sequencing (113 genes), mRNA sequencing, and full micro-RNA (miRNA) transcriptome microarrays-we describe complex oxysterol-related interaction (correlation) networks, with validation in public datasets (n = 538) and 11 databases. The ESR1-CH25H-INSIG1-ABCA9 axis was the most prominent, interconnected through miR-125b-5p, miR-99a-5p, miR-100-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-199b-5p, miR-376a-3p, and miR-376c-3p. Mutations in SC5D, CYP46A1, and its functionally linked gene set were associated with multiple differentially expressed oxysterol-related genes. STARD5 was upregulated in patients with positive lymph node status. High expression of hsa-miR-19b-3p was weakly associated with poor survival. This is the first study of oxysterol-related genes in BC that combines DNA, mRNA, and miRNA multiomics with detailed clinical data. Future studies should provide links between intratumoral oxysterol signaling depicted here, circulating oxysterol levels, and therapy outcomes, enabling eventual clinical exploitation of present findings.

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common types of malignant cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. Although the prognosis of patients with GC is associated with grade, stage and lymph node metastases, these traditional clinical features are inadequate to predict the outcome of GC. Therefore, there has been an increased focus on identifying novel molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis, in order to improve outcomes in GC. In the present study, an integrative analysis of microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles, mRNA expression profiles and clinical characteristics was performed in a large cohort of patients with GC in order to identify an integrative prognostic model for improving postoperative risk classification. An integrative mRNA/miRNA signature (IMMIS), comprised of three miRNAs and one mRNA, was identified from a large number of differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. The prognostic value of the IMMIS was validated in the discovery cohort, testing cohort and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. The present results suggested that the identified signature had a reliable predictive performance and could classify the patients into high- and low-risk groups with significantly different overall survival times. In the discovery cohort, the hazard ratio (HR) was 2.805 with a 95% CI=1.722-4.567 (P<0.001). The median overall survival time as 1.49 vs. 3.85 years. In the testing cohort, the HR was 1.625 with a 95% CI=1.004-2.638 (P=0.039) and the median overall survival time was 2.17 vs. 4.62 years. In the TCGA cohort, the HR was 2.139 with a 95% CI=1.519-3.012 (P<0.001) and the median overall survival time was 1.53 vs. 4.62 years. The IMMIS constituted a reliable independent prognostic factor compared with clinical covariates, including age, sex, grade and stage, as indicated by multivariate and stratified analyses. Furthermore, comparative analysis revealed that the predictive value of the IMMIS was superior to the mRNA-based signature alone. The present results suggested the potential value of the IMMIS as a promising novel biomarker for improving the clinical management of patients with GC.
