Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with tumor invasion and progression, and is regulated by DNA methylation. A prognostic signature of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) with EMT-related gene data has not yet been established. In our study, we constructed a co-expression network using differentially expressed genes (DEGs) obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to identify hub genes. We conducted a correlation analysis between the differentially methylated hub genes and differentially expressed EMT-related genes to screen EMT-related differentially methylated genes (ERDMGs). Functional enrichment was performed to annotate the ERDMGs. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and stepwise Cox regression analyses were performed to build a survival prognosis prediction model. Additionally, druggability analysis was performed to predict the potential drug targets of ERDMGs. We screened 11 ERDMGs that were enriched in cell adhesion molecules and other signaling pathways. Finally, we constructed a 4-ERDMG model, which showed good ability to predict survival prognosis in the training and validation sets. The model could serve as an independent predictive factor for patients with LUSC. Additionally, our druggability analysis predicted that CC chemokine ligand 23 (CCL23) and Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1b (HNF1B) may be the underlying drug targets of LUSC. We established a new risk score (RS) system as a prognostic indicator to predict the outcome of patients with LUSC, which will help in the improvement of treatment strategies.

Age-related differences of genetic susceptibility to patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:12456-12465. [PMID: 33891562 PMCID: PMC8148462 DOI: 10.18632/aging.202903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Inherited predispositions to acute lymphoblastic leukemia have been well investigated in pediatric patients, but studies on adults, particularly Chinese patients, are limited. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study in 466 all-age Chinese patients with Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 1,466 non-ALL controls to estimate the impact of age on ALL susceptibility in the Chinese population. Among the 17 reported loci, 8 have been validated in pediatric and 1 in adult patients. The strongest association signal was identified at ARID5B locus and gradually decreased with age, while the signal at GATA3 exhibited the opposite trend and significantly impact on adult patients. With genome-wide approaches, germline variants at 2q14.3 rank as the top inherited predisposition to adult patients (e.g., rs73956024, P = 4.3 × 10-5) and separate the genetic risk of pediatric vs. adult patients (P = 3.6 × 10-6), whereas variants at 15q25.3 (e.g., rs11638062) have a similar impact on patients in different age groups (overall P = 2.9 × 10-7). Our analysis highlights the impact of age on genetic susceptibility to ALL in Chinese patients.

Abstract
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) play crucial roles in the genesis and progress of tumor. We investigated the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CAMs, neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1), and Otoancorin (OTOA) on lung cancer susceptibility in Chinese nonsmoking females. Logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of SNPs and environmental factors. For rs3102911, genotype TT carriers decreased the risk of lung cancer with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.635. AA genotypes of rs741718 increased the risk of lung cancer with an OR of 3.527. In stratified analysis, genotype AA carriers of rs741718 had a high susceptibility to lung adenocarcinoma compared with GG and AG genotypes. Analyses of association between SNPs and clinical characteristics revealed that rs3102911 as a protective factor and rs741718 as a risk factor influenced the lung cancer occurrence and progression in nonsmoking females.
