Large-scale gene expression analysis reveals robust gene signatures for prognosis prediction in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. High mortality in LUAD motivates us to stratify the patients into high- and low-risk groups, which is beneficial for the clinicians to design a personalized therapeutic regimen. To robustly predict the risk, we identified a set of robust prognostic gene signatures and critical pathways based on ten gene expression datasets by the meta-analysis-based Cox regression model, 25 of which were selected as predictors of multivariable Cox regression model by MMPC algorithm. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified the Aurora-A pathway, the Aurora-B pathway, and the FOXM1 transcription factor network as prognostic pathways in LUAD. Moreover, the three prognostic pathways were also the biological processes of G2
