Abstract
Aim: To explore whether the liquid-liquid phase separation- (LLPS-) related genes were potential prognostic markers that could contribute to the further classification of low-grade gliomas (LGGs).
Methods: The LLPS-related genes were subjected to functional enrichment analysis. The univariable, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and multivariable stepwise Cox regression analyses were performed to develop an LLPS-related gene signature (GS) in the discovery data set. The biological characteristics of the high-risk LGG were explored using gene set enrichment analysis. Two independent external data sets were used to validate the LLPS-related GS.
Results: LLPS-related genes are involved in multiple important cancer-related biological processes and pathways in LGG. Nine LLPS-related genes were identified to construct the LLPS-related GS, which was significantly associated with the prognosis of LGG patients. The LLPS-related GS could successfully divide patients with LGG into high- and low-risk groups, and the high-risk group showed a poorer prognosis than the low-risk group. Furthermore, the LLPS-related GS was independent of IDH and 1p19q status. Several cancer-related pathways may be more active in high-risk LGGs, such as IL6 JAK STAT3 signaling pathway. The LLPS-related GS was successfully validated with two independent external data sets.
Conclusion: We developed and validated a novel LLPS-related GS for risk stratification of LGG. Our findings may provide more precise management for LGGs and a useful reference for LLPS mechanism to link LGG studies.
目的:探讨液-液相分离- (LLPS-)相关基因是否为低级别胶质瘤(LGGs)进一步分类的潜在预后标志物。方法:对llps相关基因进行功能富集分析。通过单变量、最小绝对收缩和选择算子以及多变量逐步Cox回归分析,在发现数据集中建立llps相关基因特征(GS)。利用基因集富集分析探讨高危LGG的生物学特性。使用两个独立的外部数据集来验证llps相关的GS。结果:llps相关基因在LGG中参与多种重要的癌症相关生物学过程和途径。鉴定出9个llps相关基因,构建与LGG患者预后显著相关的llps相关GS。llps相关的GS可以成功地将LGG患者分为高危组和低危组,高危组的预后比低危组差。此外,llps相关的GS与IDH和1p19q状态无关。一些与癌症相关的通路可能在高风险的lgg中更活跃,如IL6 JAK STAT3信号通路。用两个独立的外部数据集成功验证了llps相关的GS。结论:我们开发并验证了一种用于LGG风险分层的新型llps相关GS。我们的研究结果可能为LGGs的更精确的管理提供帮助,并为LLPS机制连接LGG研究提供有益的参考。
