BACKGROUND: The Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a critical role in the tumorigenesis and maintenance of glioma stem cells. This study aimed to evaluate significant genes associated with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway involved in mortality and disease progression in patients with grade II and III glioma, using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. METHODS: We obtained clinicopathological information and mRNA expression data from 515 patients with grade II and III gliomas from the TCGA database. We performed a multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify genes independently associated with glioma prognosis. RESULTS: The analysis of 34 genes involved in Wnt/β-catenin signaling demonstrated that four genes (CER1, FRAT1, FSTL1, and RPSA) related to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were significantly associated with mortality and disease progression in patients with grade II and III glioma. We also identified additional genes related to the four significant genes of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway mentioned above. The higher expression of BMP2, RPL18A, RPL19, and RPS12 is associated with better outcomes in patients with glioma. CONCLUSIONS: Using a large-scale open database, we identified significant genes related to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway associated with mortality and disease progression in patients with grade II and III gliomas.
背景:Wnt/β-连环蛋白通路在胶质瘤干细胞的肿瘤发生和维持中起关键作用。本研究旨在利用癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库评估与Wnt/β-连环蛋白通路相关的、参与II级和III级胶质瘤患者死亡率和疾病进展的重要基因。 方法:我们从TCGA数据库中获取了515例II级和III级胶质瘤患者的临床病理信息和mRNA表达数据。我们进行了多变量Cox回归分析,以确定与胶质瘤预后独立相关的基因。 结果:对34个参与Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号传导的基因进行分析表明,与Wnt/β-连环蛋白通路相关的4个基因(CER1、FRAT1、FSTL1和RPSA)与II级和III级胶质瘤患者的死亡率和疾病进展显著相关。我们还鉴定了与上述Wnt/β-连环蛋白通路的4个重要基因相关的其他基因。BMP2、RPL18A、RPL19和RPS12的高表达与胶质瘤患者的较好预后相关。 结论:通过使用大规模开放数据库,我们鉴定了与II级和III级胶质瘤患者死亡率和疾病进展相关的、与Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路相关的重要基因。
