Establishment of a prognostic risk model for prostate cancer based on Gleason grading and cuprotosis related genes.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) is common in aging males, diagnosed via the Gleason grading system. The study explores the unexamined prognostic value of cuprotosis, a distinct cell death type, alongside Gleason grades in PCa. We explored Cuprotosis-related genes (CRGs) in prostate cancer (PCa), using NMF on TCGA-PRAD data for patient classification and WGCNA to link genes with Gleason scores and prognosis. A risk model was crafted via LASSO Cox regression. STX3 knockdown in PC-3 cells, analyzed for effects on cell behaviors and tumor growth in mice, highlighted its potential therapeutic impact. We identified five genes crucial for a prognostic risk model, with higher risk scores indicating worse prognosis. Survival analysis and ROC curves confirmed the model's predictive accuracy in TCGA-PRAD and GSE70769 datasets. STX3 was a key adverse prognostic factor, with its knockdown significantly reducing mRNA and protein levels, impairing PC-3 cell functions. In vivo, STX3 knockdown in PC-3 cells led to significantly smaller tumors in nude mice, underscoring its potential therapeutic value. Our prognostic model, using five genes linked to Gleason scores, effectively predicts prostate cancer outcomes, offering a novel treatment strategy angle.

Project description:PurposeProstate cancer (PCa) is one of the major tumor diseases that threaten men's health globally, and biochemical recurrence significantly impacts its prognosis. Disulfidptosis, a recently discovered cell death mechanism triggered by intracellular disulfide accumulation leading to membrane rupture, is a new area of research in the context of PCa. Currently, its impact on PCa remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the correlation between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with disulfidptosis and the prognosis of PCa, seeking potential connections between the two.MethodsTranscriptomic data for a PCa cohort were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas database. Disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs (DDRLs) were identified through differential expression and Pearson correlation analysis. DDRLs associated with biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS) were precisely identified using univariate Cox and LASSO regression, resulting in the development of a risk score model. Clinical factors linked to BRFS were determined through both univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. A prognostic nomogram combined the risk score with key clinical variables. Model performance was assessed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, Decision Curve Analysis (DCA), and calibration curves. The functional impact of a critical DDRL was substantiated through assays involving CCK8, invasion, migration, and cell cloning. Additionally, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for the disulfidptosis-related protein SLC7A11 was conducted.ResultsThe prognostic signature included AC026401.3, SNHG4, SNHG25, and U73166.1 as key components. The derived risk score from these signatures stood as one of the independent prognostic factor for PCa patients, correlating with poorer BRFS in the high-risk group. By combining the risk score with clinical variables, a practical nomogram was created, accurately predicting BRFS of PCa patients. Notably, silencing AC026401.3 significantly hindered PCa cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and colony formation. IHC staining revealed elevated expression of the dithiosulfatide-related protein SLC7A11 in tumor tissue.ConclusionsA novel prognostic signature for PCa DDRLs, possessing commendable predictive power, has been constructed, simultaneously providing potential therapeutic targets associated with disulfidptosis, among which AC026401.3 has been validated in vitro and demonstrated inhibition of PCa tumorigenesis after its silencing.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious research has shown the heterogeneity of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for the different effects and prognoses of the same treatment. Cuprotosis is a newly discovered form of programmed cell death involved in the development of tumors. Therefore, it is important to study the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that regulate cuprotosis to identify molecular subtypes and predict survival of LUAD.MethodsThe expression profile, clinical, and mutation data of LUAD were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and the "ConsensusClusterPlus" package was used to cluster LUADs based on cuprotosis-related lncRNAs (CR-lncRNAs). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox regression were used to construct a prognostic model. CIBERSORT and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were used for assessing immune cells infiltration and immune function. The tumor microenvironment (TME) score was calculated by ESTIMATE, and the tumor mutational burden (TMB) and Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) were used to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy.ResultsFirstly, 501 CR-lncRNAs were identified based on the co-expression relationship of 19 cuprotosis genes. And univariate Cox further obtained 34 prognosis-related CR-lncRNAs. The unsupervised consensus clustering divided LUAD samples into cluster A and cluster B, and showed cluster A had better prognosis, more immune cells infiltration, stronger immune function, and a higher TME score. Subsequently, we used Lasso Cox regression to construct a prognostic model, and univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed the risk score could be an independent prognostic indicator. Immune cells infiltration, immune function, and TME score were increased markedly in the low-risk group, while TMB and TIDE suggested the efficacy of immunotherapy might be increased in high-risk group.ConclusionsOur research identified two new molecular subtypes and constructed a novel prognostic model of LUAD which could provide new direction for its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
