FXYD5 (Dysadherin) upregulation predicts shorter survival and reveals platinum resistance in high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients.


ABSTRACT:

Background

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is generally associated with a very dismal prognosis. Nevertheless, patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics can have markedly different clinical outcomes. Our aim was the identification of novel molecular determinants influencing survival.

Methods

Gene expression profiles of extreme HGSOC survivors (training set) were obtained by microarray. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and enriched signalling pathways were determined. A prognostic signature was generated and validated on curatedOvarianData database through a meta-analysis approach. The best prognostic biomarker from the signature was confirmed by RT-qPCR and by immunohistochemistry on an independent validation set. Cox regression model was chosen for survival analysis.

Results

Eighty DEGs and the extracellular matrix-receptor (ECM-receptor) interaction pathway were associated to extreme survival. A 10-gene prognostic signature able to correctly classify patients with 98% of accuracy was identified. By an 'in-silico' meta-analysis, overexpression of FXYD domain-containing ion transport regulator 5 (FXYD5), also known as dysadherin, was confirmed in HGSOC short-term survivors compared to long-term ones. Its prognostic and predictive power was then successfully validated, both at mRNA and protein level, first on training than on validation sample set.

Conclusion

We demonstrated the possible involvement of FXYD5 and ECM-receptor interaction signal pathway in HCSOC survival and prognosis.
