Identification of downstream signaling cascades of ACK1 and prognostic classifiers in non-small cell lung cancer.

Activated Cdc42-associated kinase 1 (ACK1) is an oncogene in multiple cancers, but the underlying mechanisms of its oncogenic role remain unclear in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, we comprehensively investigated the ACK1-regulated cell processes and downstream signaling pathways, as well as its prognostic value in NSCLC. We found that ACK1 gene amplification was associated with mRNA levels in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) lung cancer cohort. The Oncomine databases showed significantly elevated ACK1 levels in lung cancer. In vitro, an ACK1 inhibitor (dasatinib) increased the sensitivity of NSCLC cell lines to AKT or MEK inhibitors. RNA-sequencing results demonstrated that an ACK1 deficiency in A549 cells affected the MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and Wnt pathways. These results were validated by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of data from 188 lung cancer cell lines. Using Cytoscape, we dissected 14 critical ACK1-regulated genes. The signature with the 14 genes and ACK1 could significantly dichotomize the TCGA lung cohort regarding overall survival. The prognostic accuracy of this signature was confirmed in five independent lung cancer cohorts and was further validated by a prognostic nomogram. Our study unveiled several downstream signaling pathways for ACK1, and the proposed signature may be a promising prognostic predictor for NSCLC.

STRING (tool)

RRID:SCR_005223

Database of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)

BiNGO: A Biological Networks Gene Ontology tool (tool)

RRID:SCR_005736

The Biological Networks Gene Ontology tool (BiNGO) is an open-source Java tool to determine which Gene Ontology (GO) terms are significantly overrepresented in a set of genes. BiNGO can be used either on a list of genes, pasted as text, or interactively on subgraphs of biological networks visualized in Cytoscape. BiNGO maps the predominant functional themes of the tested gene set on the GO hierarchy, and takes advantage of Cytoscape''''s versatile visualization environment to produce an intuitive and customizable visual representation of the results. Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible

WebGestalt: WEB-based GEne SeT AnaLysis Toolkit (tool)

RRID:SCR_006786

Web based gene set analysis toolkit designed for functional genomic, proteomic, and large-scale genetic studies from which large number of gene lists (e.g. differentially expressed gene sets, co-expressed gene sets etc) are continuously generated. WebGestalt incorporates information from different public resources and provides a way for biologists to make sense out of gene lists. This version of WebGestalt supports eight organisms, including human, mouse, rat, worm, fly, yeast, dog, and zebrafish.
