A transcriptome study of p53-pathway related prognostic gene signature set in bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: p53 pathway is important in tumorigenesis. However, no study has been performed to specifically investigate the role of p53 pathway genes in bladder cancer (BLCA). In this study, transcriptomics data of muscle invasive bladder cancer patients (n = 411) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were investigated. Using the hallmark p53 pathway gene set, the Non-Negative Matrix factorization (NMF) analysis identified two subtypes (C1 and C2). Clinical, survival, and immunological analysis were done to validate distinct characteristics of the subtypes. Pathway enrichment analysis showed the subtype C1 with poor prognosis having enrichment in genes of the immunity related pathways, where C2 subtype with better prognosis being enriched in genes of the steroid synthesis and drug metabolism pathways.
