Zhang L, Liu Z, Zhu J. In silico screening using bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data identifies RIMS2 as a prognostic marker in basal-like breast cancer: A retrospective study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e25414. [PMID: 33879671 PMCID: PMC8078249 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000025414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Single-cell RNA-seq has become a powerful tool to understand tumor cell heterogenicity. This study tried to screen prognosis-related genes in basal-like breast tumors and evaluate their correlations with cellular states at the single-cell level.Bulk RNA-seq data of basal-like tumor cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas-Breast Cancer (TCGA-BRCA) and single-cell RNA-seq from GSE75688 were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, univariate and multivariate analysis based on Cox regression model were conducted for survival analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and single-cell cellular functional state analysis were performed.Twenty thousand five hundred thirty genes with bulk RNA-seq data in TCGA were subjected to screening. Preliminary screening identified 10 candidate progression-related genes, including CDH19, AQP5, SDR16C5, NCAN, TTYH1, XAGE2, RIMS2, GZMB, LY6D, and FAM3B. By checking their profiles using single-cell RNA-seq data, only CDH19, SDR16C5, TTYH1, and RIMS2 had expression in primary triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Prognostic analysis only confirmed that RIMS2 expression was an independent prognostic indicator of favorable progression free survival (PFS) (HR: 0.78, 95%: 0.64-0.95, P = .015). GSEA analysis showed that low RIMS2 group expression had genes significantly enriched in DNA Repair, and MYC Targets V2. Among the 89 basal-like cells, RIMS2 expression was negatively correlated with DNA repair and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT).RIMS2 expression was negatively associated with DNA repair capability of basal-like breast tumor cells and might serve as an independent indicator of favorable PFS.

Abstract
Histologically normal tissue adjacent to the tumor can provide insight of the microenvironmental alterations surrounding the cancerous lesion and affecting the progression of the disease. However, little is known about the molecular changes governing cancer initiation in cancer-free breast tissue. Here, we employed laser microdissection and whole-transcriptome profiling of the breast epithelium prior to and post tumor diagnosis to identify the earliest alterations in breast carcinogenesis. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis of the three tissue compartments (microdissected epithelium, stroma, and adipose tissue) was performed on the breast donated by either healthy subjects or women prior to the clinical manifestation of cancer (labeled "susceptible normal tissue"). Although both susceptible and healthy breast tissues appeared histologically normal, the susceptible breast epithelium displayed a significant upregulation of genes involved in fatty acid uptake/transport (CD36 and AQP7), lipolysis (LIPE), and lipid peroxidation (AKR1C1). Upregulation of lipid metabolism- and fatty acid transport-related genes was observed also in the microdissected susceptible stromal and adipose tissue compartments, respectively, when compared with the matched healthy controls. Moreover, inter-compartmental co-expression analysis showed increased epithelium-adipose tissue crosstalk in the susceptible breasts as compared with healthy controls. Interestingly, reductions in natural killer (NK)-related gene signature and CD45+/CD20+ cell staining were also observed in the stromal compartment of susceptible breasts. Our study yields new insights into the cancer initiation process in the breast. The data suggest that in the early phase of cancer development, metabolic activation of the breast, together with increased epithelium-adipose tissue crosstalk may create a favorable environment for final cell transformation, proliferation, and survival.

Clinical Implications of Rabphillin-3A-Like Gene Alterations in Breast Cancer. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0129216. [PMID: 26070152 PMCID: PMC4466565 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0129216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2015] [Accepted: 05/06/2015] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
For the rabphillin-3A-like (RPH3AL) gene, a putative tumor suppressor, the clinical significance of genetic alterations in breast cancers was evaluated. DNA and RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cancers and matching normal tissues. DNA samples were assessed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the 17p13.3 locus of RPH3AL and the 17p13.1 locus of the tumor suppressor, TP53. RPH3AL was sequenced, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped. RNA samples were evaluated for expression of RPH3AL, and FFPE tissues were profiled for its phenotypic expression. Alterations in RPH3AL were correlated with clinicopathological features, LOH of TP53, and patient survival. Of 121 cancers, 80 had LOH at one of the RPH3AL locus. LOH of RHP3AL was associated with nodal metastasis, advanced stage, large tumor size, and poor survival. Although ~50% were positive for LOH at the RPH3AL and TP53 loci, 19 of 105 exhibited LOH only at the RPH3AL locus. Of these, 12 were non-Hispanic Caucasians (Whites), 15 had large tumors, and 12 were older (>50 years). Patients exhibiting LOH at both loci had shorter survival than those without LOH at these loci (log-rank, P = 0.014). LOH at the TP53 locus alone was not associated with survival. Analyses of RPH3AL identified missense point mutations in 19 of 125 cases, a SNP (C>A) in the 5’untranslated region at -25 (5’UTR-25) in 26 of 104, and a SNP (G>T) in the intronic region at 43 bp downstream to exon-6 (intron-6-43) in 79 of 118. Genotype C/A or A/A of the SNP at 5’UTR-25 and genotype T/T of a SNP at intron-6-43 were predominantly in Whites. Low levels of RNA and protein expression of RPH3AL were present in cancers relative to normal tissues. Thus, genetic alterations in RPH3AL are associated with aggressive behavior of breast cancers and with short survival of patients.

Abstract
We surveyed gene–gene interactions (epistasis) in human body mass index (BMI) in four European populations (n<1200) via exhaustive pair-wise genome scans where interactions were computed as F ratios by testing a linear regression model fitting two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with interactions against the one without. Before the association tests, BMI was corrected for sex and age, normalised and adjusted for relatedness. Neither single SNPs nor SNP interactions were genome-wide significant in either cohort based on the consensus threshold (P=5.0E−08) and a Bonferroni corrected threshold (P=1.1E−12), respectively. Next we compared sub genome-wide significant SNP interactions (P<5.0E−08) across cohorts to identify common epistatic signals, where SNPs were annotated to genes to test for gene ontology (GO) enrichment. Among the epistatic genes contributing to the commonly enriched GO terms, 19 were shared across study cohorts of which 15 are previously published genome-wide association loci, including CDH13 (cadherin 13) associated with height and SORCS2 (sortilin-related VPS10 domain containing receptor 2) associated with circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 and binding protein 3. Interactions between the 19 shared epistatic genes and those involving BMI candidate loci (P<5.0E−08) were tested across cohorts and found eight replicated at the SNP level (P<0.05) in at least one cohort, which were further tested and showed limited replication in a separate European population (n>5000). We conclude that genome-wide analysis of epistasis in multiple populations is an effective approach to provide new insights into the genetic regulation of BMI but requires additional efforts to confirm the findings.

Abstract
A variety of genetic and molecular alterations underlie the development and progression of colorectal neoplasia (CRN). Most of these cancers arise sporadically due to multiple somatic mutations and genetic instability. Genetic instability includes chromosomal instability (CIN) and microsatellite instability (MSI), which is observed in most hereditary non-polyposis colon cancers (HNPCCs) and accounts for a small proportion of sporadic CRN. Although many biomarkers have been used in the diagnosis and prediction of the clinical outcomes of CRNs, no single marker has established value. New markers and genes associated with the development and progression of CRNs are being discovered at an accelerated rate. CRN is a heterogeneous disease, especially with respect to the anatomic location of the tumor, race/ethnicity differences, and genetic and dietary interactions that influence its development and progression and act as confounders. Hence, efforts related to biomarker discovery should focus on identification of individual differences based on tumor stage, tumor anatomic location, and race/ethnicity; on the discovery of molecules (genes, mRNA transcripts, and proteins) relevant to these differences; and on development of therapeutic approaches to target these molecules in developing personalized medicine. Such strategies have the potential of reducing the personal and socio-economic burden of CRNs. Here, we systematically review molecular and other pathologic features as they relate to the development, early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, progression, and prevention of CRNs, especially colorectal cancers (CRCs).
