Abstract
Purpose
To discover novel
prognostic biomarkers in ovarian serous carcinomas.
Methods
A
meta-analysis of all single genes probes in the TCGA and HAS ovarian
cohorts was performed to identify possible biomarkers using Cox
regression as a continuous variable for overall survival....
Results
Twelve
genes with high mRNA expression were prognostic of poor outcome with an
FDR <.05 (AXL, APC, RAB11FIP5, C19orf2, CYBRD1, PINK1, LRRN3, AQP1,
DES, XRCC4, BCHE, and ASAP3). Twenty genes with low mRNA expression were
prognostic of poor outcome with an FDR <.05 (LRIG1, SLC33A1, NUCB2,
POLD3, ESR2, GOLPH3, XBP1, PAXIP1, CYB561, POLA2, CDH1, GMNN, SLC37A4,
FAM174B, AGR2, SDR39U1, MAGT1, GJB1, SDF2L1, and C9orf82).
Conclusion
A
meta-analysis of all single genes identified thirty-two candidate
biomarkers for their
possible role in
ovarian serous carcinoma. These
genes can provide insight into the drivers or regulators of ovarian
cancer and should be evaluated in future studies. Genes with high
expression indicating poor outcome are possible therapeutic targets with
known antagonists or inhibitors. Additionally, the genes could be
combined into a prognostic multi-gene signature and tested in future
ovarian cohorts.
Introduction
We sought to identify single-gene prognostic biomarkers using
meta-analysis of publicly available mRNA expression data from ovarian
cohorts with known drug-gene interactions that could be potentially used
to indicate alternative treatment strategies.
