Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Limited therapeutic options are available for advanced LUAD without driver gene mutations. Anti-CDK therapy has shown effectiveness in several kind of cancers, however, the mechanisms still need to be elucidated.Materials and methods
The lncRNA associated with CDK1 and the immunomodulatory factors that regulate CDK1 were found by bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification. The prognostic model and immune resistance mechanism of lung adenocarcinoma were revealed by single cell analysis, immune infiltration analysis, and signal pathway analysis.Results
LINC00261 was found to be an important CDK1-related lncRNA with a better prognosis in LUAD. In addition, high CDK1 expression indicates a poor immunotherapy response, which may be associated with overexpression of CXCL8. CXCL8 decreased in patients who were immunotherapy-responsive but increased in patients who were immunotherapy-resistant. Signaling pathway analysis suggested that increased CXCL8 and decreased LINC00261 may participate in hypoxia-induced tumor angiogenesis and cause a poor prognosis for the patients. CXCL8 and CDK1 may change G2-M transformation and EMT and promote tumor proliferation.Conclusion
This study explained that LINC00261, CDK1, and CXCL8 may have a mutual regulation relationship, which affects the occurrence of LUAD and the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for 50% of lung cancers, with high mortality and poor prognosis. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a vital role in the progression of tumors. Cuproptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death that is highly investigated. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature in clinical prognosis prediction and immunotherapy and the relationship with drug sensitivity.Material and methodsGenomic and clinical data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, and cuproptosis-related genes were obtained from cuproptosis-related studies. The prognostic signature was constructed by co-expression analysis and Cox regression analysis. Patients were divided into high and low risk groups, and then, a further series of model validations were carried out to assess the prognostic value of the signature. Subsequently, lncRNAs were analyzed for gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Enrichment (KEGG), immune-related functions, and tumor mutation burden (TMB). Finally, we used tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) algorithms on immune escape and immunotherapy of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs, thereby identifying its sensitivity toward potential drugs for LUAD.ResultsA total of 16 cuproptosis-related lncRNAs were obtained, and a prognostic signature was developed. We found that high-risk patients had worse overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) and higher mortality. Independent prognostic analyses, ROC, C-index, and nomogram showed that the cuproptosis-related lncRNAs can accurately predict the prognosis of patients. The nomogram and heatmap showed a distinct distribution of the high- and low-risk cuproptosis-related lncRNAs. Enrichment analysis showed that the biological functions of lncRNAs are associated with tumor development. We also found that immune-related functions, such as antiviral activity, were suppressed in high-risk patients who had mutations in oncogenes. OS was poorer in patients with high TMB. TIDE algorithms showed that high-risk patients have a greater potential for immune escape and less effective immunotherapy.ConclusionTo conclude, the 16 cuproptosis-related lncRNAs can accurately predict the prognosis of patients with LUAD and may provide new insights into clinical applications and immunotherapy.

Project description:BackgroundSuppressive tumor microenvironment is closely related to the progression and poor prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Novel individual and universal immune-related biomarkers to predict the prognosis and immune landscape of LUAD patients are urgently needed. Two-gene pairing patterns could integrate and utilize various gene expression data.MethodsThe RNA-seq and relevant clinicopathological data of the LUAD project from the TCGA and well-known immune-related genes list from the ImmPort database were obtained. Co-expression analysis followed by an analysis of variance was performed to identify differentially expressed immune-related lncRNA (irlncRNA) (DEirlncRNA) between tumor and normal tissues. Two arbitrary DEirlncRNAs (DEirlncRNAs pair) in a tumor sample underwent pairwise comparison to generate a score (0 or 1). Next, Univariate analysis, Lasso regression and Multivariate analysis were used to screen survival-related DEirlncRNAs pairs and construct a prognostic model. The Acak information standard (AIC) values of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for 3 years are calculated to determine the cut-off point for high- or low-risk score. Finally, we evaluated the relationship between the risk score and overall survival, clinicopathological features, immune landscape, and chemotherapy efficacy.ResultsData of 54 normal and 497 tumor samples of LUAD were enrolled. After a strict screening process, 15 survival-independent-related DEirlncRNA pairs were integrated to construct a prognostic model. The AUC value of the 3-year ROC curve was 0.828. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with low risk lived longer than patients with high risk (p <0.001). Univariate and Multivariate Cox analysis suggested that the risk score was an independent factor of survival. The risk score was negatively associated with most tumor-infiltrating immune cells, immune score, and microenvironment scores. The low-risk group was correlated with increased expression of ICOS. The high-risk group had a connection with lower half inhibitory centration (IC50) of most chemotherapy drugs (e.g., etoposide, paclitaxel, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and docetaxel) and targeted medicine-erlotinib, but with higher IC50 of methotrexate.ConclusionThe established irlncRNA pairs-based model is a promising prognostic signature for LUAD patients. Furthermore, the prognostic signature has great potential in the evaluation of tumor immune landscape and guiding individualized treatment regimens.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of lung cancer, but the prognosis of LUAD patients remains unsatisfactory. Here, we retrieved the RNA-seq data of LUAD cohort from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and then identified differentially expressed immune-related lncRNAs (DEirlncRNAs) between LUAD and normal controls. Based on a new method of cyclically single pairing along with a 0-or-1 matrix, we constructed a novel prognostic signature of 8 DEirlncRNA pairs in LUAD with no dependence upon specific expression levels of lncRNAs. This prognostic model exhibited significant power in distinguishing good or poor prognosis of LUAD patients and the values of the area under the curve (AUC) were all over 0.70 in 1, 3, 5 years receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Moreover, the risk score of the model could serve as an independent prognostic factor for patients with LUAD. In addition, the risk model was significantly associated with clinicopathological characteristics, tumor-infiltrating immune cells, immune-related molecules and sensitivity of anti-tumor drugs. This novel signature of DEirlncRNA pairs in LUAD, which did not require specific expression levels of lncRNAs, might be used to guide the administration of patients with LUAD in clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, the identification of a novel prediction signature for predicting the prognosis risk and survival outcomes is urgently demanded.MethodsWe integrated a machine-learning frame by combing the Cox regression and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression model to identify the LUAD-related long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) survival biomarkers. Subsequently, the Spearman correlation test was employed to interrogate the relationships between lncRNA signature and tumor immunity and constructed the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network.ResultsHerein, we identified an eight-lncRNA signature (PR-lncRNA signature, NPSR1-AS1, SATB2-AS1, LINC01090, FGF12-AS2, AC005256.1, MAFA-AS1, BFSP2-AS1, and CPC5-AS1), which contributes to predicting LUAD patient's prognosis risk and survival outcomes. The PR-lncRNA signature has also been confirmed as the robust signature in independent datasets. Further parsing of the LUAD tumor immune infiltration showed the PR-lncRNAs were closely associated with the abundance of multiple immune cells infiltration and the expression of MHC molecules. Furthermore, by constructing the PR-lncRNA-related ceRNA network, we interrogated more potential anti-cancer therapy targets.ConclusionlncRNAs, as emerging cancer biomarkers, play an important role in a variety of cancer processes. Identification of PR-lncRNA signatures allows us to better predict patient's survival outcomes and disease risk. Finally, the PR-lncRNA signatures could help us to develop novel LUAD anti-cancer therapeutic strategies.

Project description:BackgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) originates mainly from the mucous epithelium and glandular epithelium of the bronchi. It is the most common pathologic subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At present, there is still a lack of clear criteria to predict the efficacy of immunotherapy. The 5-year survival rate for LUAD patients remains low.MethodsAll data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We used Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) database to obtain immune-related mRNAs. Immune-related lncRNAs were acquired by using the correlation test of the immune-related genes with R version 3.6.3 (Pearson correlation coefficient cor = 0.5, P < 0.05). The TCGA-LUAD dataset was divided into the testing set and the training set randomly. Based on the training set to perform univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, we screened prognostic immune-related lncRNAs and given a risk score to each sample. Samples were divided into the high-risk group and the low-risk group according to the median risk score. By the combination of Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curve, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) (AUC) curve, the independent risk factor analysis, and the clinical data of the samples, we assessed the accuracy of the risk model. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed on the differentially expressed mRNAs between the high-risk group and the low-risk group. The differentially expressed genes related to immune response between two risk groups were analyzed to evaluate the role of the model in predicting the efficacy and effects of immunotherapy. In order to explain the internal mechanism of the risk model in predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy, we analyzed the differentially expressed genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) between two risk groups. We extracted RNA from normal bronchial epithelial cell and LUAD cells and verified the expression level of lncRNAs in the risk model by a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) test. We compared our risk model with other published prognostic signatures with data from an independent cohort. We transfected LUAD cell with siRNA-LINC0253. Western blot analysis was performed to observed change of EMT-related marker in protein level.ResultsThrough univariate Cox regression analysis, 24 immune-related lncRNAs were found to be strongly associated with the survival of the TCGA-LUAD dataset. Utilizing multivariate Cox regression analysis, 10 lncRNAs were selected to establish the risk model. The K-M survival curves and the ROC (AUC) curves proved that the risk model has a fine predictive effect. The GO enrichment analysis indicated that the effect of the differentially expressed genes between high-risk and low-risk groups is mainly involved in immune response and intercellular interaction. The KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes between high-risk and low-risk groups are mainly involved in endocytosis and the MAPK signaling pathway. The expression of genes related to the efficacy of immunotherapy was significantly different between the two groups. A qRT-PCR test verified the expression level of lncRNAs in LUAD cells in the risk model. The AUC of ROC of 5 years in the independent validation dataset showed that this model had superior accuracy. Western blot analysis verified the change of EMT-related marker in protein level.ConclusionThe immune lncRNA risk model established by us could better predict the prognosis of patients with LUAD.

Project description:This study aimed to establish a prognostic risk model for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We firstly divided 535 LUAD samples in TCGA-LUAD into high-, medium-, and low-immune infiltration groups by consensus clustering analysis according to immunological competence assessment by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Profile of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in normal samples and LUAD samples in TCGA was used for a differential expression analysis in the high- and low-immune infiltration groups. A total of 1,570 immune-related differential lncRNAs in LUAD were obtained by intersecting the above results. Afterward, univariate COX regression analysis and multivariate stepwise COX regression analysis were conducted to screen prognosis-related lncRNAs, and an eight-immune-related-lncRNA prognostic signature was finally acquired (AL365181.2, AC012213.4, DRAIC, MRGPRG-AS1, AP002478.1, AC092168.2, FAM30A, and LINC02412). Kaplan-Meier analysis and ROC analysis indicated that the eight-lncRNA-based model was accurate to predict the prognosis of LUAD patients. Simultaneously, univariate COX regression analysis and multivariate COX regression analysis were undertaken on clinical features and risk scores. It was illustrated that the risk score was a prognostic factor independent from clinical features. Moreover, immune data of LUAD in the TIMER database were analyzed. The eight-immune-related-lncRNA prognostic signature was related to the infiltration of B cells, CD4+ T cells, and dendritic cells. GSEA enrichment analysis revealed significant differences in high- and low-risk groups in pathways like pentose phosphate pathway, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, and P53 signaling pathway. This study helps to treat LUAD patients and explore molecules related to LUAD immune infiltration to deeply understand the specific mechanism.

Project description:BackgroundSmoking is one of the most hazardous risk factors for the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Many survival and prognosis-related biomarkers were discovered using database mining. However, the precision of immune-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) predictions is insufficient. We identified a novel signature to improve the estimate of smoking-related LUAD prognosis.MethodsThe Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA) was used to obtain the LUAD lncRNA expression profiles. The smoking-related LUAD cohort was randomly split into discovery and validation cohorts. To determine the risk score, use the LASSO Cox regression technique on the prognostic immune-related lncRNA. The risk signature has been developed.ResultsA total of 643 immune-related lncRNAs were identified as potential candidates for a risk signature. Finally, six immune-related lncRNAs (AL359915.2, AP000695.1, HSPC324, TGFB2-AS1, AC026355.1, and AC002128.2) were identified and used to carry out risk signature, which showed a close association with overall survival in the discovery cohort. We classified patients as high risk or low risk based on a median risk score of 1.0783. In the discovery cohort, overall survival was marginally longer in the low-risk group than in the high-risk category (p = 2.28e08). The area under the curves (AUC) for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival was 0.67, 0.7, and 0.82, respectively. Furthermore, we successfully validated and combined cohorts using this risk profile. We discovered a strong positive connection between HSPC324 and VIPR1 as a possible novel biomarker for smoking-related LUAD development in our study.ConclusionsOur research has established a six immune-lncRNA signature that may be used to predict the prognosis of smoking-related LUAD with great accuracy.

Project description:BackgroundCuproptosis, a unique kind of cell death, has implications for cancer therapy, particularly lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to influence cancer cell activity by binding to a wide variety of targets, including DNA, RNA, and proteins.MethodsCuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRlncRNAs) were utilized to build a risk model that classified patients into high-and low-risk groups. Based on the CRlncRNAs in the model, Consensus clustering analysis was used to classify LUAD patients into different subtypes. Next, we explored the differences in overall survival (OS), the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), and the mutation landscape between different risk groups and molecular subtypes. Finally, the functions of LINC00592 were verified through in vitro experiments.ResultsPatients in various risk categories and molecular subtypes showed statistically significant variations in terms of OS, immune cell infiltration, pathway activity, and mutation patterns. Cell experiments revealed that LINC00592 knockdown significantly reduced LUAD cell proliferation, invasion, and migration ability.ConclusionThe development of a trustworthy prediction model based on CRlncRNAs may significantly aid in the assessment of patient prognosis, molecular features, and therapeutic modalities and may eventually be used in clinical applications.

Project description:Background Cuproptosis, a recently discovered type of programmed cell death (PCD), paves a new avenue for cancer treatment. It has been revealed that PCD-related lncRNAs play a critical role in various biological processes of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the role of cuproptosis-related lncRNA (CuRLs) remains unclear. This study aimed to identify and validate a CuRLs-based signature for the prognostic prediction of patients with LUAD. Methods RNA sequencing data and clinical information of LUAD were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Pearson correlation analysis was used to identify CuRLs. Univariate Cox regression analysis, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) Cox regression, and stepwise multivariate Cox analysis were applied to construct a novel prognostic CuRLs signature. A nomogram was developed for the prediction of patient survival outcomes. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were utilized to explore potential functions underlying the CuRLs signature. Patients were divided into low- and high-risk groups. Several algorithms, such as tumor immune estimation resource (TIMER), cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts (CIBERSORT), and QuanTIseq, were combined to comprehensively investigate the differences in immune landscape between different risk groups. Sensitivity to common anticancer drugs was analyzed using the pRRophetic algorithm. Results We constructed a novel prognostic signature based on 10 CuRLs, including CARD8-AS1, RUNDC3A-AS1, TMPO-AS1, MIR31HG, SEPSECS-AS1, DLGAP1-AS1, LINC01137, ZSCAN16-AS1, APTR, and ELOA-AS1. This 10-CuRLs risk signature showed great diagnostic accuracy combined with traditional clinical risk factors, and a nomogram was constructed for potential clinical translation. The tumor immune microenvironment was significantly different between different risk groups. Among drugs commonly used in the treatment of lung cancer, the sensitivity of cisplatin, docetaxel, gemcitabine, gefitinib, and paclitaxel was higher in low-risk patients, and patients in the low-risk group may benefit more from imatinib. Conclusions These results revealed the outstanding contribution of the CuRLs signature to the evaluation of prognosis and treatment modalities for patients with LUAD. The differences in characteristics between different risk groups provide an opportunity for better patient stratification and to explore novel drugs in different risk groups.

Project description:The mechanism of RP11-838N2.3 promoting cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) was unclear. The RP11-838N2.3 expression level in cells and LAD tissues was detected by qPCR. We constructed lentivirus-mediated GV303 overexpression and GV248 shRNA vector targeting RP11-838N2.3, then infected A549 and A549/DDP cell and furtherly analyzed cell biology. High-throughput gene chip analysis showed that RP11-838N2.3 was significantly upregulated in A549/DDP (change?fold = 66.056595). The qPCR results showed that the expression level of RP11-838N2.3 in A549/DDP cell was significantly higher than that in A549 cells (P < 0.05), and the expression level of RP11-838N2.3 in LAD tissues was also significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (P < 0.05). The expression level of RP11-838N2.3 in cisplatin-insensitive LAD tissues was also significantly higher than that in cisplatin-sensitive LAD tissues (P < 0.05). Survival analysis showed that OS (overall survival) and DFS (progression-free survival) of high RP11-838N2.3 expression in the cisplatin-sensitive or cisplatin-insensitive LAD group were lower (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001) than those of low RP11-838N2.3 expression in the cisplatin-sensitive or cisplatin-insensitive LAD group. CCK8 showed that the OD450 value of RP11-838N2.3 overexpression increased significantly at 24?h, 48?h, and 72?h after transfection, while the knockdown of RP11-838N2.3 caused OD450 value at 24?h, 48?h, and 72?h after transfection significantly reduced, under the action of cisplatin that had the same trend (P < 0.05). The cell migration showed that the RP11-838N2.3 overexpression increased significantly migration activity and RP11-838N2.3 knockdown inhibited migration activity at 24?h, 48?h, and 72?h after transfection. The same trend was also observed under the action of cisplatin (P < 0.05). The cell invasion showed that the invasion rate of RP11-838N2.3 overexpression increased significantly, while the invasion rate of RP11-838N2.3 knockdown decreased significantly, and the same trend was observed under the action of cisplatin (P < 0.05). Apoptosis results showed that the apoptosis rate of RP11-838N2.3 overexpressed cells decreased significantly and the apoptosis rate of RP11-838N2.3 knockdown cells increased significantly, and the same trend was also observed under the action of cisplatin (P < 0.05). However, the results of cell cycle showed that there was no significant difference in the proportion of cells in each phase of the cell cycle after RP11-838N2.3 overexpression or knockdown (P > 0.05).RP11-838N2.3 was significantly upregulated in cisplatin-resistant cell and tissues of LAD. RP11-838N2.3 could enhance the proliferation, migration, and invasion and inhibit apoptosis of LAD cisplatin-resistant cell. So RP11-838N2.3 could enhance the cisplatin resistance of LAD cells and was a resistant lncRNA molecule.
