Clinical significance and immune landscape of angiogenesis-related genes in bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Angiogenesis is a major promotor of tumor progression and metastasis. Nevertheless, it is undetermined how angiogenesis-related genes (ARGs) influence bladder cancer.

Methods

The profiles of bladder cancer gene expression were collected from the TCGA-BLCA cohort. The LASSO regression analysis was used to build an angiogenesis-related signature (ARG_score) with the prognostic ARGs. Verification analyses were conducted across the GSE48075 dataset to demonstrate the robustness of the signature. Differences between the two risk groups based on clinical outcomes, immune landscape, mutation status, chemotherapeutic effectiveness for anticancer drugs, and immunotherapy efficacy were analyzed. A nomogram was developed to improve the clinical efficacy of this predictive tool. The expression levels of model genes in normal bladder epithelial cell lines (SV-HUC-1) and bladder cancer cell lines (T24 and 5637) were detected by qRT-PCR assay.

Results

Four angiogenesis-associated gene signature was constructed based on the LASSO regression algorithm. The signature showed independent risk factors of overall survival for bladder cancer, validated using two external survival datasets. Additionally, we built a prognostic nomogram to improve the practicality of the ARG_score. High-risk individuals showed stronger immunocyte infiltration, immune-related functions, elevated expression of immune checkpoints, reduced TIDE score, and higher combined IPS-PD-1 and IPS-CTLA4 scores, suggesting a heightened responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Furthermore, patients with low and high risk showed distinct responsiveness to anticancer drugs. The expression levels of 5 model genes (COL5A2, JAG1, MSX1, OLR1, and STC) were significantly increased in bladder cancer cell lines (T24 and 5637) compared with the normal bladder epithelial cell line SV-HUC-1.

Conclusions

The model constructed based on ARGs may have wide application in predicting outcomes and therapeutic responses.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Pyroptosis is a newly discovered type of programmed cell death that is typically accompanied by a strong inflammatory response. Accumulating evidence suggests that pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) may have important roles in the development of malignant tumors. However, the association between PRG expression and clinical outcomes in CRC remain unclear. In the present study, the genetic variations and transcriptional patterns of 52 PRGs were comprehensively analyzed using cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus and the mRNA expression levels of 7 PRGs in collected CRC samples were validated using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Using LASSO-Cox analysis, a PRG score was then generated and the relationship between the PRG score and prognosis, immune cell infiltration and drug sensitivity in CRC was uncovered. In the present study, the mutation and expression patterns of PRGs were analyzed and it was found that these genes were differentially expressed in CRC tissues compared with normal tissues. Based on the expression patterns of the PRGs, patients with CRC were divided into two subtypes (cluster A and B), of which cluster B had an improved prognosis and a higher abundance of immune cells. Next, differentially expressed genes between clusters A and B were identified and a PRG risk score closely related to the prognosis of CRC was constructed. Then, a nomogram for evaluating the overall survival of patients was constructed. Furthermore, a low PRG risk score was characterized by immune activation and closely related to the microsatellite instability-high pattern. Additionally, the PRG risk score was notably correlated with drug sensitivity. In conclusion, the mutation and expression characteristics of PRGs in CRC were comprehensively analyzed and a prognostic PRG signature was constructed in the present study. This signature may predict immune cell infiltration and therapeutic response in CRC, providing new insights into the prognosis and treatment of CRC.
