Osteosarcoma (OS) is a heterogeneous malignant spindle cell tumor in children under the age of 20. This study aims to research the association between Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 8 (SLC7A8) as well as related genes and OS.
OS and normal samples (GSE38698 and GSE85537) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. The bioinformatics analysis was performed to distinguish 2 differentially expressed genes, prognostic candidate genes and functional enrichment pathway. Immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR were utilized for further study.
There were 5 DEMs and 10 differentially expressed genes in cancer tissues compared to normal tissues. According to the km-plot software, ARHGEF3, BSN, PQLC3, and SLC7A8 were significantly related to the overall survival of patients with OS. Furthermore, Multivariate analysis included that SLC7A8 was independent risk factors for OS patients. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR outcomes indicated that the expression level of SLC7A8 and hsa-miR-506 was differentially expressed in lung metastasis OS tissues and non-metastasis tissues.
The prognostic model based on the miRNA-mRNA network could provide predictive significance for prognosis of OS patients, which would be worthy of clinical application. Our results concluded that SLC7A8 may play a key role in the development of OS.
骨肉瘤(OS)是 20 岁以下儿童中具有异质性的恶性梭形细胞肿瘤。本研究旨在研究溶质载体家族 7 成员 8(SLC7A8)及相关基因与 OS 的关系。
从基因表达综合数据库中下载 OS 和正常样本(GSE38698 和 GSE85537)。进行生物信息学分析以区分 2 个差异表达基因、预后候选基因和功能富集途径。利用免疫组织化学和实时定量 PCR 进行进一步研究。
与正常组织相比,癌症组织中存在 5 个差异表达基因和 10 个差异表达基因。根据 km-plot 软件,ARHGEF3、BSN、PQLC3 和 SLC7A8 与 OS 患者的总生存期显著相关。此外,多变量分析表明 SLC7A8 是 OS 患者的独立危险因素。此外,免疫组织化学和实时定量 PCR 结果表明,SLC7A8 和 hsa-miR-506 的表达水平在肺转移 OS 组织和非转移组织中存在差异。
基于 miRNA-mRNA 网络的预后模型可为 OS 患者的预后提供预测意义,值得临床应用。我们的研究结果表明,SLC7A8 可能在 OS 的发生发展中起关键作用。
