Single-cell and Bulk Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal a Stemness and Circadian Rhythm Disturbance-related Signature Predicting Clinical Outcome and Immunotherapy Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Aims: Investigating the impact of stemness-related circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis and its potential as a predictor for immunotherapy response.
Background: Circadian disruption has been linked to tumor progression through its effect on the stemness of cancer cells.
Objective: Develop a novel signature for SCRD to accurately predict clinical outcomes and immune therapy response in patients with HCC.
Methods: The stemness degree of patients with HCC was assessed based on the stemness index (mRNAsi). The co-expression circadian genes significantly correlated with mRNAsi were identified and defined as stemness- and circadian-related genes (SCRGs). The SCRD scores of samples and cells were calculated based on the SCRGs. Differentially expressed genes with a prognostic value between distinct SCRD groups were identified in bulk and single-cell datasets to develop an SCRD signature.
Results: A higher SCRD score indicates a worse patient survival rate. Analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed a significant correlation between SCRD and infiltrating immune cells. Heterogeneous expression patterns, functional states, genomic variants, and cell-cell interactions between two SCRD populations were revealed by transcriptomic, genomic, and interaction analyses. The robust SCRD signature for predicting immunotherapy response and prognosis in patients with HCC was developed and validated in multiple independent cohorts.
Conclusions: In summary, distinct tumor immune microenvironment patterns were confirmed under SCRD in bulk and single-cell transcriptomic, and SCRD signature associated with clinical outcomes and immunotherapy response was developed and validated in HCC.
期刊介绍:
Current Gene Therapy is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal aimed at academic and industrial scientists with an interest in major topics concerning basic research and clinical applications of gene and cell therapy of diseases. Cell therapy manuscripts can also include application in diseases when cells have been genetically modified. Current Gene Therapy publishes full-length/mini reviews and original research on the latest developments in gene transfer and gene expression analysis, vector development, cellular genetic engineering, animal models and human clinical applications of gene and cell therapy for the treatment of diseases.
Current Gene Therapy publishes reviews and original research containing experimental data on gene and cell therapy. The journal also includes manuscripts on technological advances, ethical and regulatory considerations of gene and cell therapy. Reviews should provide the reader with a comprehensive assessment of any area of experimental biology applied to molecular medicine that is not only of significance within a particular field of gene therapy and cell therapy but also of interest to investigators in other fields. Authors are encouraged to provide their own assessment and vision for future advances. Reviews are also welcome on late breaking discoveries on which substantial literature has not yet been amassed. Such reviews provide a forum for sharply focused topics of recent experimental investigations in gene therapy primarily to make these results accessible to both clinical and basic researchers. Manuscripts containing experimental data should be original data, not previously published.
