Extrachromosomal circular DNAs in prostate adenocarcinoma: global characterizations and a novel prediction model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of focal amplifications and extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is still uncertain in prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD). Here, we first mapped the global characterizations of eccDNA and then investigate the characterization of eccDNA-amplified key differentially expressed encoded genes (eKDEGs) in the progression, immune response and immunotherapy of PRAD.

Methods

Circular_seq was used in conjunction with the TCGA-PRAD transcriptome dataset to sequence, annotate, and filter for eccDNA-amplified differentially expressed coding genes (eDEGs) in PRAD and para-cancerous normal prostate tissues. Afterwards, risk models were created and eKDEGs linked to the PRAD prognosis were identified using Cox and Lasso regression analysis. The immune microenvironment of th
