GDPD5 Related to Lipid Metabolism Is a Potential Prognostic Biomarker in Neuroblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma (NB) is an extracranial solid tumor in children with poor prognosis in high-risk patients and its pathogenesis and prognostic markers urgently need to be explored. This study aimed to explore potential biomarkers related to NB from the aspect of lipid metabolism. Fifty-eight lipid metabolism-related differentially expressed genes between high-risk NB and non-high-risk NB in the GSE49710 dataset were analyzed using bioinformatics, including 45 down-regulated genes and 13 up-regulated genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis identified steroid hormone biosynthesis as an abnormal metabolic pathway in high-risk NB. Survival analysis established a three-gene prognostic model, including ACHE, GDPD5 and PIK3R1. In the test data, the AUCs of the established prognostic models used to predict patient survival at 1, 3 and 5 years were 0.84, 0.90 and 0.91, respectively. Finally, in the SH-SY5Y cell line, it was verified that overexpression of GDPD5 can inhibit cell proliferation and migration, as well as affect the lipid metabolism of SH-SY5Y, but not the sugar metabolism. hsa-miR-592 was predicted to be a potential target miRNA of GDPD5 by bioinformatics. In conclusion, this study develops a lipid-metabolism-related gene-based prognostic model for NB and demonstrates that GDPD5 inhibits SH-SY5Y proliferation and migration and may be targeted by hsa-miR-592 and inhibit SH-SY5Y fat synthesis.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most prevalent malignant solid tumor in children. Tumor metabolism, including lipid, amino acid, and glucose metabolism, is intricately linked to the genesis and progression of tumors. This study aimed to establish a prognostic gene signature for NB patients, based on metabolism-related genes, and to investigate a treatment approach that could enhance the survival rate of high-risk NB patients. From the NB dataset GSE49710, we identified metabolism-related gene markers utilizing the "limma" R package and univariate Cox analysis combined with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. We explored the correlation between these gene markers and the overall survival of NB patients. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and single-sample GSEA algorithms were used to assess the differences in metabolism and immune status. Furthermore, we examined the association between metabolic subgroups and drug responsiveness. Concurrently, data downloaded from TARGET and MTAB were used for external verification. Using multicolor immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, we investigated the relationship between the lipid metabolism-related gene ELOVL6 with both the International Neuroblastoma Staging System classification of NB and survival rate. Finally, we explored the effect of high ELOVL6 expression on the immune microenvironment in NB using flow cytometry. We identified an eight-gene signature comprising metabolism-related genes in NB: ELOVL6, OSBPL9, RPL27A, HSD17B3, ACHE, AKR1C1, PIK3R1, and EPHX2. This panel effectively predicted disease-free survival, and was validated using an internal dataset from GSE49710 and two external datasets from the TARGET and MTAB databases. Moreover, our findings confirmed that ELOVL6 fosters an immunosuppressive microenvironment and contributes to the malignant progression in NB. The eight-gene signature is significant in predicting the prognosis of NB, effectively classifying patients into high- and low-risk groups. This classification may guide the development of innovative treatment strategies for these patients. Notably, the signature gene ELOVL6 markedly encourages an immunosuppressive microenvironment and malignant progression in NB.

Project description:BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa), the second most prevalent solid tumor among men worldwide, has caused greatly increasing mortality in PCa patients. The effects of lipid metabolism on tumor growth have been explored, but the mechanistic details of the association of lipid metabolism disorders with PCa remain largely elusive.MethodsThe RNA sequencing data of the GSE45604 and The Cancer Genome Atlas-Prostate Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-PRAD) datasets were extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and UCSC Xena databases, respectively. The Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) was utilized to identify lipid metabolism-related genes. The limma R package was used to identify differentially expressed lipid metabolism-related genes (DE-LMRGs) and differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs). Moreover, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) were applied to select signature miRNAs and construct a lipid metabolism-related diagnostic model. The expression levels of selected differentially expressed lipid metabolism-related miRNAs (DE-LMRMs) in PCa and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) specimens were verified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR). Furthermore, a transcription factor (TF)-miRNA‒mRNA network was constructed. Eventually, Kaplan‒Meier (KM) curves were plotted to illustrate the associations between signature miRNA-related mRNAs and TFs and overall survival (OS) along with biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCR).ResultsForty-seven LMRMs were screened based on the correlation analysis of 29 DE-LMRGs and 56 DEMs, in which 27 LMRMs were stably expressed in the GSE45604 dataset. Subsequently, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and machine learning methods were employed to develop a lipid metabolism-related diagnostic signature, which may be of diagnostic value for PCa patients. qRT‒PCR results showed that all seven key DE-LMRMs were differentially expressed between PCa and BPH tissues. Eventually, a TF-miRNA‒mRNA network was constructed.ConclusionsThese results suggested that 7 key diagnostic miRNAs were closely related to PCa pathological processes and provided new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of PCa. Moreover, CLIC6 and SCNN1A linked to miR-200c-3p had good prognostic potential and provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis of PCa.

Project description:BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa), a prevalent malignant cancer in males worldwide, screening for patients might benefit more from immuno-/chemo-therapy remained inadequate and challenging due to the heterogeneity of PCa patients. Thus, the study aimed to explore the metabolic (Meta) characteristics and develop a metabolism-based signature to predict the prognosis and immuno-/chemo-therapy response for PCa patients.MethodsDifferentially expressed genes were screened among 2577 metabolism-associated genes. Univariate Cox analysis and random forest algorithms was used for features screening. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to construct a prognostic Meta-model based on all combinations of metabolism-related features. Then the correlation between MetaScore and tumor was deeply explored from prognostic, genomic variant, functional and immunological perspectives, and chemo-/immuno-therapy response. Multiple algorithms were applied to estimate the immunotherapeutic responses of two MeteScore groups. Further in vitro functional experiments were performed using PCa cells to validate the association between the expression of hub gene SLC17A4 which is one of the model component genes and tumor progression. GDSC database was employed to determine the sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs.ResultsTwo metabolism-related clusters presented different features in overall survival (OS). A metabolic model was developed weighted by the estimated regression coefficients in the multivariate Cox regression analysis (0.5154*GAS2 + 0.395*SLC17A4 - 0.1211*NTM + 0.2939*GC). This Meta-scoring system highlights the relationship between the metabolic profiles and genomic alterations, gene pathways, functional annotation, and tumor microenvironment including stromal, immune cells, and immune checkpoint in PCa. Low MetaScore is correlated with increased mutation burden and microsatellite instability, indicating a superior response to immunotherapy. Several medications that might improve patients` prognosis in the MetaScore group were identified. Additionally, our cellular experiments suggested knock-down of SLC17A4 contributes to inhibiting invasion, colony formation, and proliferation in PCa cells in vitro.ConclusionsOur study supports the metabolism-based four-gene signature as a novel and robust model for predicting prognosis, and chemo-/immuno-therapy response in PCa patients. The potential mechanisms for metabolism-associated genes in PCa oncogenesis and progression were further determined.
