Abstract
Introduction
This study aimed to create a survival prediction model for breast cancer(BC) using perioperative anesthesia - related drug target genes(PARDTGs). It explored their immune microenvironment and drug sensitivity for personalized therapy.
Methods
Transcriptomic sequencing data of BC were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Common PARDTGs were retrieved from the DrugBank and ChemBL databases. Transcriptomic data were analyzed to identify differentially expressed PARDTGs (DE-PARDTGs) using rigorous statistical thresholds. A total of 101 machine learning algorithms were applied to construct PARDTG-based survival prediction models. Patients were stratified into high- and low-risk groups based on model-derived risk scores. Model performance was validated using an independent dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Clinical-pathological correlations, immune profiling, and mutational landscapes were compared between risk groups in the TCGA-BRCA cohort. Drug sensitivity to commonly used therapies was predicted via transcriptomic correlations.
Results
We identified five DE - PARDTGs (PTGS2, TACR1, ADRB1, ABCB1, ACKR3) for a BC prognostic model. Receiver Operating Characteristic - Area Under the Curves(ROC - AUCs) for 1 -, 3 -, 5 - year overall survival(OS) were 0.722, 0.730, 0.691. TACR1 and ADRB1 high - expression meant better prognosis. Risk groups differed in immunity, with TACR1 correlating with immune checkpoints and drug sensitivity. Conclusions: The PARDTG - based model predicts BC survival independently. TACR1, key to immune response and drug sensitivity, could be a new therapeutic target. These results stress the importance of focusing on perioperative anesthesia - related drug targets in BC research.
期刊介绍:
Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes original research papers and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. High quality research contributions with a major computational component in the areas of nucleic acid and protein sequence research, molecular evolution, molecular genetics (functional genomics and proteomics), theory and practice of either biology-specific or chemical-biology-specific modeling, and structural biology of nucleic acids and proteins are particularly welcome. Exceptionally high quality research work in bioinformatics, systems biology, ecology, computational pharmacology, metabolism, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and statistical genetics will also be considered.
Given their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.
Review articles will generally be commissioned by the editors and should not be submitted to the journal without explicit invitation. However prospective authors are welcome to send a brief (one to three pages) synopsis, which will be evaluated by the editors.
