The Predictive Prognostic Values of CBFA2T3, STX3, DENR, EGLN1, FUT4, and PCDH7 in Lung Cancer
Annals of Translational Medicine(2021)
Abstract
BACKGROUND:Lung cancer is one of the most malignant tumors. However, neither the pathogenesis of lung cancer nor the prognosis markers are completely clear. The purpose of this study is to screen the diagnostic or prognostic markers of lung cancer.METHODS:TCGA and GEO datasets were used to analyze the relationship between lung cancer-related genes and lung cancer samples. Common differential genes were screened, and a univariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen survival related genes. A univariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to verify the genes and construct risk model. The key factors affecting the prognosis of lung cancer were determined by univariate and multivariate regression analyses. The ROC curve, AUC and the survival of each risk gene was analyzed. Finally, the biological functions of high- and low-risk patients were explored by GSEA and an immune-infiltration analysis.RESULTS:Based on the common differential genes, 13 genes significantly related to lung cancer survival were identified. Eight risk genes (CBFA2T3, DENR, EGLN1, FUT2, FUT4, PCDH7, PHF14, and STX3) were screened out. The results showed that risk status may be an independent prognostic factor, and the risk score predicted the prognosis of lung cancer. CBFA2T3 and STX3 are protective genes, while DENR, EGLN1, FUT4 and PCDH7 are dangerous genes. These 6 genes can be used as independent lung cancer prognosis markers. The corresponding biological functions of genes expressed in high-risk patients were mostly related to tumor proliferation and inflammatory infiltration. Neutrophil, CD8+T, Macrophage M0, Macrophage M1- and mDC-activated cells were high in high-risk status samples.CONCLUSIONS:CBFA2T3, STX3, DENR, EGLN1, FUT4, and PCDH7 are important participants in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. High-risk patients display serious inflammatory infiltration. This study not only provides insight into the mechanism of occurrence and development of lung cancer, but also provides potential targets for targeted therapy of lung cancer.
