Cox Regression Analysis

Introduction. Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most frequent primary intracranial malignancies, with limited treatment options and poor overall survival rates. Alternated glucose metabolism is a key metabolic feature of tumour cells, including GBM cells. However, due to high cellular heterogeneity, accurately predicting the prognosis of GBM patients using a single biomarker is difficult. Therefore, identifying a novel glucose metabolism-related biomarker signature is important and may contribute to accurate prognosis prediction for GBM patients. Methods. In this research, we performed gene set enrichment analysis and profiled four glucose metabolism-related gene sets containing 327 genes related to biological processes. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were specifically completed to identify genes to build a specific risk signature, and we identified ten mRNAs (B4GALT7, CHST12, G6PC2, GALE, IL13RA1, LDHB, SPAG4, STC1, TGFBI, and TPBG) within the Cox proportional hazards regression model for GBM. Results. Depending on this glucose metabolism-related gene signature, we divided patients into high-risk (with poor outcomes) and low-risk (with satisfactory outcomes) subgroups. The results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the prognostic potential of this ten-gene signature is independent of clinical variables. Furthermore, we used two other GBM databases (Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) and REMBRANDT) to validate this model. In the functional analysis results, the risk signature was associated with almost every step of cancer progression, such as adhesion, proliferation, angiogenesis, drug resistance, and even an immune-suppressed microenvironment. Moreover, we found that IL31RA expression was significantly different between the high-risk and low-risk subgroups. Conclusion. The 10 glucose metabolism-related gene risk signatures could serve as an independent prognostic factor for GBM patients and might be valuable for the clinical management of GBM patients. The differential gene IL31RA may be a potential treatment target in GBM.

Prognostic Prediction

Abstract Background Bladder cancer (BC) is a highly heterogeneous disease, which makes the prognostic prediction challenging. Ferroptosis is related to a variety of biological pathways, including those involved in the metabolism of amino acids, lipids, and iron. However, the prognostic value of ferroptosis-related genes in BC remains to be further elucidated. Methods In this study, the mRNA expression profiles and corresponding clinical data of BC patients were downloaded from public databases. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was utilized to construct a multigene signature and validated it. Results Our results showed 12 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were correlated with overall survival (OS) in the univariate Cox regression analysis (all adjusted P< 0.05). A 9-gene signature was constructed to stratify patients into two risk groups. Patients in the high-risk group showed significantly reduced OS compared with patients in the low-risk group (P < 0.001). The risk score was an independent predictor for OS in multivariate Cox regression analyses (HR> 1, P< 0.01). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the signature's predictive capacity. Functional analysis revealed that immune-related pathways were enriched, and immune status were different between two risk groups, especially in humoral immune response process. Conclusion In conclusion, a novel ferroptosis-related gene signature can be used for prognostic prediction in BC. Targeting ferroptosis may be a therapeutic alternative for BC.

Melanoma Patients

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer, with significant heterogeneity in overall survival. Currently, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging is insufficient to provide accurate survival prediction and appropriate treatment decision making for several types of tumors, such as those in melanoma patients. Therefore, the identification of more reliable prognosis biomarkers is urgently essential. Recent studies have shown that low immune cells infiltration is significantly associated with unfavorable clinical outcome in melanoma patients. Here we constructed a prognostic-related gene signature for melanoma risk stratification by quantifying the levels of several cancer hallmarks and identify the Wnt/β-catenin activation pathway as a primary risk factor for low tumor immunity. A series of bioinformatics and statistical methods were combined and applied to construct a Wnt-immune-related prognosis gene signature. With this gene signature, we computed risk scores for individual patients that can predict overall survival. To evaluate the robustness of the result, we validated the signature in multiple independent GEO datasets. Finally, an overall survival-related nomogram was established based on the gene signature and clinicopathological features. The Wnt-immune-related prognostic risk score could better predict overall survival compared with standard clinicopathological features. Our results provide a comprehensive map of the oncogene-immune-related gene signature that can serve as valuable biomarkers for better clinical decision making.
