The annexin superfamily (ANXA) is made up of 12 calcium (Ca) and phospholipid binding protein members that have a high structural homology and play a key function in cancer cells. However, little research has been done on the annexin family's function in pan-cancer. We examined the ANXA family's expression in various tumors through public databases using bioinformatics analysis, assessed the differences in ANXA expression between tumor and normal tissues in pan-cancer, and then investigated the relationship between ANXA expression and patient survival, prognosis, and clinicopathologic traits. Additionally, we investigated the relationships among TCGA cancers' mutations, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), immunological subtypes, immune infiltration, tumor microenvironment, immune checkpoint genes, chemotherapeutics sensitivity, and ANXAs expression. cBioPortal was also used to uncover pan-cancer genomic anomalies in the ANXA family, study relationships between pan-cancer ANXA mRNA expression and copy number or somatic mutations, and assess the prognostic values of these variations. Moreover, we investigated the relationship between ANXAs expression and effectiveness of immunotherapy in multiple cohorts, including one melanoma (GSE78220), one renal cell carcinoma (GSE67501), and three bladder cancer cohorts (GSE111636, IMvigor210 and our own sequencing dataset (TRUCE-01)), and further analyzed the changes of ANXAs expression before and after treatment (tislelizumab combined with nab-paclitaxel) of bladder cancer. Then, we explored the biological function and potential signaling pathway of ANXAs using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and first conducted immune infiltration analysis with ANXAs family genes expression, copy number, or somatic mutations of bladder cancer by TIMER 2.0. Most cancer types and surrounding normal tissues expressed ANXA differently. ANXA expression was linked to patient survival, prognosis, clinicopathologic features, mutations, TMB, MSI, immunological subtypes, tumor microenvironment, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint gene expression in 33 TCGA cancers, with ANXA family members varied. The anticancer drug sensitivity analysis showed that ANXAs family members were significantly related to a variety of drug sensitivities. In addition, we also discovered that the expression level of ANXA1/2/3/4/5/7/9/10 was positively or negatively correlated with objective responses to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 across multiple immunotherapy cohorts. The immune infiltration analysis of bladder cancer further showed the significant relationships between ANXAs copy number variations or mutation status, and infiltration level of different immune cells. Overall, our analyses confirm the importance of ANXAs expression or genomic alterations in prognosis and immunological features of various cancer and identified ANXA-associated genes that may serve as potential therapeutic targets.
annexin 超家族(ANXA)由 12 个钙(Ca)和磷脂结合蛋白成员组成,具有高度的结构同源性,在癌细胞中发挥关键作用。然而,关于 annexin 家族在泛癌中的功能研究甚少。我们通过生物信息学分析利用公共数据库研究了各种肿瘤中 annexin 家族的表达,评估了泛癌中肿瘤组织与正常组织中 annexin 表达的差异,然后研究了 annexin 表达与患者生存、预后和临床病理特征之间的关系。此外,我们还研究了 TCGA 癌症的突变、肿瘤突变负担(TMB)、微卫星不稳定性(MSI)、免疫亚型、免疫浸润、肿瘤微环境、免疫检查点基因、化疗敏感性与 annexin 表达之间的关系。还使用 cBioPortal 揭示 annexin 家族在泛癌中的基因组异常,研究泛癌 annexin mRNA 表达与拷贝数或体细胞突变之间的关系,并评估这些变化的预后价值。此外,我们还研究了 annexin 表达与多个队列中免疫治疗效果的关系,包括一个黑色素瘤(GSE78220)、一个肾细胞癌(GSE67501)和三个膀胱癌队列(GSE111636、IMvigor210 和我们自己的测序数据集(TRUCE-01)),并进一步分析了膀胱癌患者治疗前后(tislelizumab 联合 nab-paclitaxel) annexin 表达的变化。然后,我们使用基因集富集分析(GSEA)研究了 annexin 的生物学功能和潜在信号通路,并首先使用 TIMER 2.0 对膀胱癌的 annexin 家族基因表达、拷贝数或体细胞突变进行了免疫浸润分析。大多数癌症类型和周围正常组织的 annexin 表达不同。在 33 种 TCGA 癌症中,ANXA 表达与患者生存、预后、临床病理特征、突变、TMB、MSI、免疫亚型、肿瘤微环境、免疫细胞浸润和免疫检查点基因表达有关,其中 annexin 家族成员的表达情况有所不同。抗癌药物敏感性分析表明,ANXAs 家族成员与多种药物敏感性显著相关。此外,我们还发现,在多个免疫治疗队列中,ANXA1/2/3/4/5/7/9/10 的表达水平与抗 PD-1/PD-L1 的客观反应呈正相关或负相关。膀胱癌的免疫浸润分析进一步显示,ANXAs 拷贝数变化或突变状态与不同免疫细胞的浸润水平之间存在显著关系。总的来说,我们的分析证实了 annexin 表达或基因组改变在各种癌症的预后和免疫学特征中的重要性,并确定了与 annexin 相关的基因,这些基因可能作为潜在的治疗靶点。
