Ovarian cancer (OV) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy. The aim of this study was to identify molecular subtypes of OV through integrative multi-omics analysis and construct machine learning-based prognostic models for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy. In here, the mutation, copy number variation, RNA sequencing expression profiles, and clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Multi-omics data were stratified using the MOVICS package, identifying different molecular subtypes. Our analysis identified 2 molecular subtypes (CS1 and CS2) with significant survival differences. Transcriptional regulatory network analysis revealed differential activation of transcription factors such as FOXA1 and GATA3 in CS1, whereas AR and ESR2 were enriched in CS2. A robust prognostic signature comprising 5 key genes was developed through the integration of 10 machine learning algorithms, demonstrating high predictive power across data sets. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed that anti-tumor immune cells were more abundant in low-risk groups, whereas pro-tumor immune cells predominated in high-risk groups. Furthermore, low-risk patients exhibited better immunotherapy responses and higher tumor mutational burden (TMB). In conclusion, our findings underscore the potential of multi-omics integration in unveiling novel OV subtypes and constructing predictive models that inform personalized treatment strategies. Future research should focus on validating these findings in larger cohorts to enhance OV management through targeted therapeutic approaches.
卵巢癌(OV)仍然是最致命的妇科恶性肿瘤。本研究的目的是通过综合多组学分析确定OV的分子亚型,并构建基于机器学习的预后模型以预测免疫治疗的疗效。在此,从癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)和基因表达综合数据库(GEO)获取了突变、拷贝数变异、RNA测序表达谱及临床信息。使用MOVICS软件包对多组学数据进行分层,识别不同的分子亚型。我们的分析确定了2种具有显著生存差异的分子亚型(CS1和CS2)。转录调控网络分析显示,CS1中FOXA1和GATA3等转录因子有差异激活,而CS2中AR和ESR2富集。通过整合10种机器学习算法开发了一个由5个关键基因组成的强大预后特征,在各数据集中显示出高预测能力。免疫细胞浸润分析表明,低风险组中抗肿瘤免疫细胞更丰富,而高风险组中促肿瘤免疫细胞占主导。此外,低风险患者表现出更好的免疫治疗反应和更高的肿瘤突变负荷(TMB)。总之,我们的研究结果强调了多组学整合在揭示新型OV亚型和构建指导个性化治疗策略的预测模型方面的潜力。未来的研究应侧重于在更大队列中验证这些发现,以通过靶向治疗方法加强OV的管理。
