Abstract
Background
Gastric cancer (GC) is a frequent malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. Exploring the potential anoikis mechanisms and pathways might facilitate GC research.
Purpose
The authors aim to determine the significance of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in GC prognosis and explore the regulatory mechanisms in epigenetics.
Methods
After describing the genetic and transcriptional alterations of ARGs, we searched differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the cancer genome atlas and gene expression omnibus databases to identify major cancer marker pathways. The non-negative matrix factorisation algorithm, Lasso, and Cox regression analysis were used to construct a risk model, and we validated and assessed the nomogram. Based on multiple levels and online platforms, this research evaluated the regulatory relationship of ARGs with GC.
Results
Overexpression of ARGs is associated with poor prognosis, which modulates immune signalling and promotes anti-anoikis. The consistency of the DEGs clustering with weighted gene co-expression network analysis results and the nomogram containing 10 variable genes improved the clinical applicability of ARGs. In anti-anoikis mode, cytology, histology, and epigenetics could facilitate the analysis of immunophenotypes, tumour immune microenvironment (TIME), and treatment prognosis.
Conclusion
A novel anoikis-related prognostic model for GC is constructed, and the significance of anoikis-related prognostic genes in the TIME and the metabolic pathways of tumours is initially explored.
期刊介绍:
IET Systems Biology covers intra- and inter-cellular dynamics, using systems- and signal-oriented approaches. Papers that analyse genomic data in order to identify variables and basic relationships between them are considered if the results provide a basis for mathematical modelling and simulation of cellular dynamics. Manuscripts on molecular and cell biological studies are encouraged if the aim is a systems approach to dynamic interactions within and between cells.
The scope includes the following topics:
Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, cells, tissue and the physiome; molecular and cellular interaction, gene, cell and protein function; networks and pathways; metabolism and cell signalling; dynamics, regulation and control; systems, signals, and information; experimental data analysis; mathematical modelling, simulation and theoretical analysis; biological modelling, simulation, prediction and control; methodologies, databases, tools and algorithms for modelling and simulation; modelling, analysis and control of biological networks; synthetic biology and bioengineering based on systems biology.
