Abstract

Liver cancer is a common malignant tumor with an increasing incidence in recent years. We aimed to develop a model by integrating clinical information and multi-omics profiles of genes to predict survival of patients with liver cancer. The multi-omics data were integrated to identify liver cancer survival-associated signal pathways. Then, a prognostic risk score model was established based on key genes in a specific pathway, followed by the analysis of the relationship between the risk score and clinical features as well as molecular and immunologic characterization of the key genes included in the prediction model. The function experiments were performed to further elucidate the undergoing molecular mechanism. Totally, 4 pathways associated with liver cancer patients' survival were identified. In the pathway of integrin cell surface interactions, low expression of COMP and SPP1, and low CNVs level of COL4A2 and ITGAV were significantly related to prognosis. Based on above 4 genes, the risk score model for prognosis was established. Risk score, ITGAV and SPP1 were the most significantly positively related to activated dendritic cell. COL4A2 and COMP were the most significantly positively associated with Type 1 T helper cell and regulatory T cell, respectively. The nomogram (involved T stage and risk score) may better predict short-term survival. The cell assay showed that overexpression of ITGAV promoted tumorigenesis. The risk score model constructed with four genes (COMP, SPP1, COL4A2, and ITGAV) may be used to predict survival in liver cancer patients.

摘要

肝癌是一种常见的恶性肿瘤,近年来发病率呈上升趋势。我们旨在通过整合临床信息和基因多组学图谱来建立一个模型,以预测肝癌患者的生存率。整合多组学数据以识别与肝癌生存相关的信号通路。然后,基于特定通路中的关键基因建立预后风险评分模型,接着分析风险评分与临床特征之间的关系以及预测模型中包含的关键基因的分子和免疫特征。进行功能实验以进一步阐明潜在的分子机制。总共鉴定出4条与肝癌患者生存相关的通路。在整合素细胞表面相互作用通路中,COMP和SPP1的低表达以及COL4A2和ITGAV的低拷贝数变异水平与预后显著相关。基于上述4个基因,建立了预后风险评分模型。风险评分、ITGAV和SPP1与活化树突状细胞的相关性最为显著。COL4A2和COMP分别与1型辅助性T细胞和调节性T细胞的相关性最为显著。列线图(涉及T分期和风险评分)可能能更好地预测短期生存。细胞实验表明,ITGAV的过表达促进肿瘤发生。由四个基因(COMP、SPP1、COL4A2和ITGAV)构建的风险评分模型可用于预测肝癌患者的生存情况。
