目的

分析转录因子(transcription factors, TFs)在肺腺癌(lung adenocarcinoma, LUAD)中的表达及与预后的关系,寻找潜在干预靶点。

方法

利用生物信息学方法挖掘癌症基因组图谱(The Cancer Genome Atlas Program, TCGA)数据库中LUAD组织转录组和临床数据,利用R语言软件对肺癌及癌旁组织中的TFs相关基因(transcription factors-related genes, TFGs)进行表达差异分析,筛选出肺癌组织中差异表达的TFGs,进行GO功能和KEGG通路富集分析。通过COX回归分析筛选关键TFGs,建立风险评分模型并对其预测能力进行评价。

结果

与癌旁组织比较,LUAD组织中有391个TFGs表达异常。TFGs主要涉及胚胎发育、转录调控及干细胞多能行调节等生物学过程和信号通路。单因素COX回归分析显示11个TFs显著影响LUAD预后,逐步多因素COX回归分析筛选出其中5个TFGs (IRX4、ID3、CDX2、E2F7、NPAS2)作为肺癌预后的危险因子用于构建风险评分模型。生存分析显示,低风险组总生存时间显著长于高风险组。风险评分可作为危险因素预测LUAD预后(风险比为1.906,P<0.01),而患者年龄、性别、肿瘤分期与预后无相关性(P>0.05)。

结论

LUAD中多个TFs基因存在异常表达,基于5个TFGs成功构建了风险评分模型,可有效预测LUAD预后,为临床诊疗提供参考。

Objective

To investigated the relationship between aberrant expression of transcription factor genes (TFGs) and tumor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and to explore potential tumor transcriptional therapeutic targets.

Methods

Bioinformatics was used to mine the transcriptome and clinical data of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) in the Cancer Genome Atlas program (TCGA) database. R language software was adopted to screen the differentially expressed TFGs between LUAD and paracancerous tissues. Then, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed. COX regression was applied to construct a risk score model to predict the prognosis of LUAD patients.

Results

391 TFGs were differentially expressed in LUAD tissues. These TFGs are mainly involved in biological processes and signal pathways such as embryonic development, transcriptional regulation and pluripotent regulation of stem cells. Univariate COX regression analysis showed that 11 TFGs were associated with prognosis. Five TFGs (IRX4, ID3, CDX2, E2F7, NPAS2) were further selected via stepwise multivariate COX regression analysis to construct the risk score model. Survival analysis revealed that the overall survival time of low-risk group was significantly longer than that of high-risk group. Risk score could be used as a risk factor to predict the prognosis of LUAD (hazard ratio=1.906, P<0.01), but there was no correlation between age, gender and tumor stage and prognosis (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Lots of transcription factor genes in LUAD have abnormal expression, which is closely concern to the prognosis of patients. The risk score model based on the 5-TFGs could effectively predict the LUAD patients prognosis and provide a new reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
