A prognostic model for anoikis-related genes in pancreatic cancer.

Scientific reports | 2024

Anoikis, a distinct form of programmed cell death, is crucial for both organismal development and maintaining tissue equilibrium. Its role extends to the proliferation and progression of cancer cells. This study aimed to establish an anoikis-related prognostic model to predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) patients. Gene expression data and patient clinical profiles were sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA-PAAD: Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC-PACA: Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma). Non-cancerous pancreatic tissue gene expression data were obtained from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. The R package was used to construct anoikis-related PC prognostic models, which were later validated with the ICGC-PACA database. Survival analyses demonstrated a poorer prognosis for patients in the high-risk group, consistent across both TCGA-PAAD and ICGC-PACA datasets. A nomogram was designed as a predictive tool to estimate patient mortality. The study also analyzed tumor mutations and immune infiltration across various risk groups, uncovering notable differences in tumor mutation patterns and immune landscapes between high- and low-risk groups. In conclusion, this research successfully developed a prognostic model centered on anoikis-related genes, offering a novel tool for predicting the clinical trajectory of PC patients.

Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (tool)

RRID:SCR_003302

Software R package for weighted correlation network analysis. WGCNA is also available as point-and-click application. Unfortunately this application is not maintained anymore. It is known to have compatibility problems with R-2.8.x and newer, and the methods it implements are not all state of the art.

KEGG (tool)

RRID:SCR_012773

Integrated database resource consisting of 16 main databases, broadly categorized into systems information, genomic information, and chemical information. In particular, gene catalogs in completely sequenced genomes are linked to higher-level systemic functions of cell, organism, and ecosystem. Analysis tools are also available. KEGG may be used as reference knowledge base for biological interpretation of large-scale datasets generated by sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.

Genotype-Tissue Expression (tool)

RRID:SCR_013042

Project to study human gene expression and regulation in multiple tissues, providing valuable insights into mechanisms of gene regulation and its disease related perturbations. Genetic variation between individuals will be examined for correlation with differences in gene expression level to identify regions of the genome that influence whether and how much a gene is expressed. Includes initiatives: Novel Statistical Methods for Human Gene Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) Analysis ,Laboratory, Data Analysis, and Coordinating Center (LDACC), caHUB Acquisition of Normal Tissues in Support of GTEx Project.
