Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a main cause of malignancy-related death all over the world with a poor prognosis. The current research is focused on developing novel prognostic and diagnostic models of Hepatocellular carcinoma from the perspective of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related genes, and predicting its prognostic characteristics and potential reliable biomarkers for Hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis.Methods: As per the information related to Hepatocellular carcinoma expression profile and the clinical data in multiple public databases, we utilized limma for assessing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HBV vs non- hepatitis B virus groups, and the gene set was enriched, analyzed and annotated by WebGestaltR package. Then, STRING was employed to investigate the protein interactions. A risk model for evaluating Hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis was built with Lasso Cox regression analysis. The effect patients receiving immunotherapy was predicted using Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE). Additionally, pRRophetic was used to investigate the drug sensitivity. Lastly, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach was utilized for building the diagnostic model.Results: The Hepatocellular Carcinoma Molecular Atlas 18 (HCCDB18) data set was utilized for the identification of 1344 HBV-related differentially expressed genes, mainly associated with cell division activities. Five functional modules were established and then we built a prognostic model in accordance with the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Five HBV-related genes affecting prognosis were identified for constructing a prognostic model. Then, the samples were assigned into RS-high and -low groups as per their relevant prognostic risk score (RS). High-risk group showed worse prognosis, higher mutation rate of TP53, lower sensitivity to immunotherapy but higher response to chemotherapeutic drugs than low-risk group. Finally, the hepatitis B virus diagnostic model of Hepatocellular carcinoma was established.Conclusion: In conclusion, the prognostic and diagnostic models of hepatitis B virus gene-related Hepatocellular carcinoma were constructed. ABCB6, IPO7, TIMM9, FZD7, and ACAT1, the five HBV-related genes that affect the prognosis, can work as reliable biomarkers for the diagnosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma, giving a new insight for improving the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of HBV-type Hepatocellular carcinoma.</p

Presentation1_Establishment of a 7-gene prognostic signature based on oxidative stress genes for predicting chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer.docx

Background: Oxidative stress is involved in regulating various biological processes in human cancers. However, the effect of oxidative stress on pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) remained unclear.Methods: Pancreatic cancer expression profiles from TCGA were downloaded. Consensus ClusterPlus helped classify molecular subtypes based on PAAD prognosis-associated oxidative stress genes. Limma package filtered differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between subtypes. A multi-gene risk model was developed using Lease absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso)-Cox analysis. A nomogram was built based on risk score and distinct clinical features.Results: Consistent clustering identified 3 stable molecular subtypes (C1, C2, C3) based on oxidative stress-associated genes. Particularly, C3 had the optimal prognosis with the greatest mutation frequency, activate cell cycle pathway in an immunosuppressed status. Lasso and univariate cox regression analysis selected 7 oxidative stress phenotype-associated key genes, based on which we constructed a robust prognostic risk model independent of clinicopathological features with stable predictive performance in independent datasets. High-risk group was found to be more sensitive to small molecule chemotherapeutic drugs including Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Erlotinib and Dasatinib. The 6 of 7 genes expressions were significantly associated with methylation. Survival prediction and prognostic model was further improved through a decision tree model by combining clinicopathological features with RiskScore.Conclusion: The risk model containing seven oxidative stress-related genes may have a greater potential to assist clinical treatment decision-making and prognosis determination.</p
