Project description:Kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) is a type of low-grade malignant renal cell carcinoma. Huge challenges remain in the treatment of KIRP. Cell division cycle associated 3 (CDCA3) participates in human physiological and pathological processes. However, its role in KIRP has not been established. Here, we evaluated the prognostic value of CDCA3 in KIRP using a comprehensive bioinformatics approach. Data for CDCA3 expression in KIRP were obtained from online database. Different expression genes between high and low CDCA3 expression groups were identified and evaluated by performing Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses. A gene set enrichment analysis was performed to elucidate the function and pathway differences between the different. Differences in immune cell infiltration between low and high CDCA3 expression groups were analyzed by a single-sample GSEA method for immune cells. A protein-protein interaction network was generated and hub genes were identified. UALCAN was used to analyze associations between the mRNA expression levels of CDCA3 in KIRP tissues with clinicopathologic parameters. The diagnostic efficacy of CDCA3 for KIRP was analyzed by ROC analysis. Logistic regression was used to analyze relationships between the clinicopathological characteristics and CDCA3 expression. Our results indicated that high CDCA3 mRNA expression is significantly associated with some clinicopathologic parameters in KIRP patients High CDCA3 mRNA expression associated with a shorter overall survival, progression-free interval, and disease-special survival. Taken together, CDCA3 is a potential target for the development of anti-KIRP therapeutics and is an efficient prognostic marker.

Project description:BackgroundPapillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) ranks second in renal cell carcinoma and the prognosis of pRCC remains poor. Here, we aimed to screen and identify a novel prognostic cancer-related lncRNA signature in pRCC.MethodsThe RNA-seq profile and clinical feature of pRCC cases were downloaded from TCGA database. Significant cancer-related lncRNAs were obtained from the Immlnc database. Differentially expressed cancer-related lncRNAs (DECRLs) in pRCC were screened for further analysis. Cox regression report was implemented to identify prognostic cancer-related lncRNAs and establish a prognostic risk model, and ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate its precision. The correlation between RP11-63A11.1 and clinical characteristics was further analyzed. Finally, the expression level and role of RP11-63A11.1 were studied in vitro.ResultsA total of 367 DECRLs were finally screened and 26 prognostic cancer-related lncRNAs were identified. Among them, ten lncRNAs (RP11-573D15.8, LINC01317, RNF144A-AS1, TFAP2A-AS1, LINC00702, GAS6-AS1, RP11-400K9.4, LUCAT1, RP11-63A11.1, and RP11-156L14.1) were independently associated with prognosis of pRCC. These ten lncRNAs were incorporated into a prognostic risk model. In accordance with the median value of the riskscore, pRCC cases were separated into high and low risk groups. Survival analysis indicated that there was a significant difference on overall survival (OS) rate between the two groups. The area under curve (AUC) in different years indicated that the model was of high efficiency in prognosis prediction. RP11-63A11.1 was mainly expressed in renal tissues and it correlated with the tumor stage, T, M, N classifications, OS, PFS, and DSS of pRCC patients. Consistent with the expression in pRCC tissue samples, RP11-63A11.1 was also down-regulated in pRCC cells. More importantly, up-regulation of RP11-63A11.1 attenuated cell survival and induced apoptosis.ConclusionsTen cancer-related lncRNAs were incorporated into a powerful model for prognosis evaluation. RP11-63A11.1 functioned as a cancer suppressor in pRCC and it might be a potential therapeutic target for treating pRCC.

Project description:ObjectiveTo summarize the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) and to construct clinical and molecular prognostic nomograms using existing databases.MethodsClinical prognostic models were developed using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, while molecular prognostic models were constructed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Cox regression and LASSO regression were employed to identify clinicopathological features and molecular markers related to prognosis. The accuracy of the prognostic models was assessed using ROC curves, C-index, decision curve analysis (DCA) curves, and calibration plots.ResultsIn the 2004-2015 SEER cohort, Cox regression analysis revealed that age, grade, AJCC stage, N stage, M stage, and surgery were independent predictors of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in pRCC patients. ROC curves, C-index, and DCA curves indicated that the prognostic nomogram based on clinical independent predictors had better predictive ability than TNM staging and SEER staging. Additionally, in the TCGA cohort, M stage, clinical stage, and the molecular markers IDO1 and PLK1 were identified as independent risk factors. The prognostic nomogram based on molecular independent risk factors effectively predicted the 3-year and 5-year OS and CSS for pRCC patients.ConclusionsThe clinical and molecular nomograms constructed in this study provide robust predictive tools for individualized prognosis in pRCC patients, offering better accuracy than traditional staging systems.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to identify long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-based prognostic biomarkers in papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). lncRNA expression data and corresponding clinical data from patients with pRCC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. R software and packages were used for data analysis. Univariate Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were performed to identify key lncRNAs, which were then used to construct a prognostic model using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups, and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted. The C-index was calculated to estimate the model's prognostic power. The hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI), and statistical significance of each key lncRNA were also calculated by multivariate Cox regression. Based on the result of the multivariate Cox regression analysis, KM survival plots were plotted for each significantly associated lncRNA. The subcellular locations of the prognostic biomarkers were predicted using lncRNAMap and lncLocator. A total of 17 lncRNA signatures were identified as key lncRNAs. Overall survival rate was significantly higher in the low-risk group compared with the high-risk group. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.93 (3-year ROC) and 0.902 (5-year ROC), and the C-index was 0.915. A forest plot was used to illustrate the HR and 95% CI of key lncRNAs. KM survival analysis revealed the prognostic significance of two protective biomarkers, AC024022.1 and GAS6-AS1, and three adverse biomarkers, AC087379.2, AL352984.1, and AL499627.1. It was predicted that AC024022.1 and AC087379.2 may be located in the cytoplasm and GAS6-AS1 may be located in the cytosol. The present study may contribute to the management of pRCC and serve as a foundation for further investigations into the underlying mechanism of tumorigenesis and progression of pRCC.

Project description:Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) is a low-grade renal neoplasm with morphological characteristics mimicking both clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC). However, despite some overlapping features, their morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular profiles are distinct. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and are involved in various biological processes, including cancer development. To better understand the biology of this tumor, we aimed to analyze the miRNA expression profile of a set of CCPRCC using microarray and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. A total of 15 cases diagnosed as CCPRCC were used in this study. Among the most differentially expressed miRNA in CCPRCC, we found miR-210, miR-122, miR-34a, miR-21, miR-34b*, and miR-489 to be up-regulated, whereas miR-4284, miR-1202, miR-135a, miR-1973, and miR-204 were down-regulated compared with normal renal parenchyma. To identify consensus of differentially regulated miRNA between CCPRCC, CCRCC, and PRCC, we additionally determined differential miRNA expression using 2 publically available microarray data sets from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE41282 and GSE3798). This comparison revealed that the miRNA expression profile of CCPRCC shows some overlapping characteristics between CCRCC and PRCC. Moreover, CCPRCC lacks dysregulation of important miRNAs typically associated with aggressive behavior. In summary, we describe the miRNA expression profile of a relatively infrequent type of renal cancer. Our results may help in understanding the molecular underpinning of this newly recognized entity.

Project description:BackgroundAutophagy was a significant catabolic process which played a critical role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and viability in a stressed state. The dysregulation of autophagy was correlated with various diseases. The aim of our study was to develop a prognostic signature for papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC).MethodsFirst, 40 differently expressed genes related with autophagy (ARGs) were examined via high-throughput sequencing and large-scale databases. Then, functional enrichment analysis was performed to explore the biological attributes of these ARGs. The Cox proportional hazard regression hinted that four ARGs (P4HB, BIRC5, NGR1 and PRKN) were significantly correlated with overall survival (OS). Thus, we got genes with prognostic value. Finally, a prognostic index (PI) was constructed.ResultsAfter identifying the 4 ARGs, we profiled our risk signature. Based on the PI we developed, papillary RCC patients were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups. High-risk patients had significant shorter OS than low-risk patients (P<0.001) and the mortality of high scoring patients was higher than low scoring patients. Additionally, we explored the relationship between the 4 ARGs and clinical parameters and found that the expression of P4HB, BIRC5 and NGR1 was correlated with clinicopathological features.ConclusionsOur study suggested that the four-gene signature was an independent prognostic factor which could act as a novel indicator for the prognosis of papillary RCC.

Project description:The histomorphological subtyping of papillary renal cell carcinomas (pRCCs) has improved the predictions of patients' long-term survival. Based on our previous results, we hypothesized that the MYC proto-oncogene would show differential expression in pRCC subtypes. Using a multi-institutional cohort of 204 pRCC patients we assessed the additional value of the immunohistochemical markers MYC, MINA53, and Ki67 in predicting patient's long-term survival. The clinical endpoints were overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Nomograms were constructed to predict each patient's risk of death (OS). The incorporation of the MYC staining patterns allowed the stratification of pRCC type 1 patients into better and worse prognostic groups. None of the patients with pRCC type 1 tumors and favorable MYC staining patterns died from tumor-related causes. This prognostic value was independent of the patient's age at surgery, the pathological tumor stage and presence of lymph node invasion. we could show that the immunohistochemical assessment of MYC and the histomorphological subtyping of pRCC stratifies pRCC type 1 tumors with regard to OS and CSS. The determination of the histomorphologic pRCC subtype in combination with the MYC immunohistochemical staining patterns allows a more accurate prediction of patients' individual risk of death.

Project description:BackgroundPapillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) can be divided into type 1 (PRCC1) and type 2 (PRCC2) and PRCC2 share a more invasive phenotype and worse prognosis. This study aims to identify potential prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in PRCC2.MethodsA cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas and two datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus were examined. Common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and potential biomarkers were explored by using Kaplan-Meier method and cox regression analysis. Functional enrichment analysis was utilized to evaluate the potential biological functions. Tumor infiltrating immune cells were estimated by CIBERSORT algorithm. Ninety-two PRCC2 samples from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were obtained, and immunostaining was performed to validate prognostic and therapeutic significance of the potential biomarker.ResultsPRCC2 has worse overall survival and shares distinct molecular characteristics from PRCC1. There was significant higher expression level of Targeting protein for Xklp2 (TPX2) in PRCC2 compared with normal tissues. Higher expression level of TPX2 was significantly associated with worse overall survival in PRCC2 and kinesin family genes expression were found significantly elevated in high risk PRCC2. Abundance of tumor infiltrating M1 macrophage was significantly higher in PRCC2 and it was also associated with worse overall survival. In the FUSCC cohort, higher TPX2 expression was significantly correlated with worse overall and progression-free survival. Retrospective analysis indicated that mTOR inhibitor (everolimus) had greater efficacy in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group (overall response rate: 28.6% vs. 16.7%) and that everolimus had greater efficacy than sunitinib in the high-risk group (overall response rate: 28.6% vs. 20%).ConclusionsTPX2 was a prognostic and therapeutic biomarker in PRCC2. Higher abundance of tumor infiltrating M1 macrophage was significantly associated with worse overall survival in PRCC2. mTOR inhibitors may have good efficacy in patients with high-risk PRCC2.

Project description:BackgroundPapillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is a heterogeneous multifocal or isolated tumor with an invasive phenotype. Previous studies presented that alternative splicing, as a crucial posttranscriptional regulator in gene expression, is associated with tumorigenesis. However, the association between alternative splicing and pRCC has not been clarified.MethodsThe RNA sequencing data and clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and mRNA splicing profiles from TCGASpliceSeq. The percent spliced in data of alternative splicing merged with survival information was firstly calculated by univariate Cox regression analysis to screen for survival-associated alternative splicing events, and survival-associated alternative splicing events were then analyzed by Gene Ontology categories using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Meanwhile, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox analysis and multivariate Cox analysis were performed to calculate the prognostic index for each alternative splicing type. In addition, clinical factors were introduced to assess the performance of prognostic index.ResultsA total of 4,084 candidate survival-associated alternative splicing events in 2,558 genes were screened out. Patients were divided into the low-risk group and the high-risk group based on the median prognostic index value. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (p < 0.05) and receiver operating characteristics curves (AUC>0.9) indicated that prognostic index was effective and stable for predicting the prognosis of pRCC patients. Furthermore, a regulatory network was constructed incorporating alternative splicing events and survival-associated splicing factors.ConclusionOur study provides new insights into the mechanism of alternative splicing events in tumorigenesis and their clinical potential for pRCC.
