    摘要:

    背景与目的 Gasdermin(GSDM)家族由6个重要分子组成,主要负责调控细胞焦亡等多种生物学过程。近来不断有研究表明GSDM家族的表达失调参与多种癌症进程,然而GSDM家族成员在胃癌中的表达、预后、功能和潜在机制研究尚待阐明。本研究旨在通过生物信息学方法系统性的分析GSDM基因家族各成员在胃癌中的作用。方法 使用ONCOMINE、GEPIA2、UALCAN、Kaplan-Meier Plotter、cBioPortal、TIMER 2.0、DiseaseMeth等多个数据库对GSDM家族分子在胃癌患者中的表达差异、预后价值、功能富集、基因改变、免疫浸润相关性、甲基化改变等方面进行了综合分析。结果 GSDM家族中仅DFNA5在胃癌中明显高表达,表达水平较正常组织升高2.479倍。DFNA5在TNM 2、3、4期的表达明显升高,同时在肿瘤分级2、3级的表达明显升高。GSDM家族中仅DFNA5在胃癌中有预后价值,高表达的DFNA5提示较差的总生存期。GSDM家族中GSDMD的基因变异率最高(19%),GSDMA、GSDMB、GSDMC次之(14%),DFNA5(8%)和PJVK最低(6%)。在胃癌中筛选出186个GSDM相关的共表达基因,这些分子可能通过炎症细胞凋亡、趋化因子反应、急性炎症反应相关的信号通路参与胃癌进程。多数GSDM家族成员的表达与CD4+ T细胞、CD8+ T细胞、B细胞、中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞、树突细胞的浸润存在不同程度的显著正相关,仅PJVK在巨噬细胞和树突细胞浸润中呈负相关。GSDMA、GSDMD在胃癌组织中处于低甲基化水平。结论 GSDM家族成员在胃癌中存在表达及功能紊乱。GSDM家族特别是DFNA5分子可能成为胃癌诊断和预后评估的重要肿瘤标志物,为开发新的胃癌治疗靶点提供思路。

    Abstract:

    Background and Aims The Gasdermin (GSDM) family consists of 6 important molecules, which are mainly responsible for regulating various biological processes such as pyroptosis. Recent studies have shown that the expression disorder of the GSDM family is involved in the initiation and development of various types of cancer. However, the expression profiles, prognosis value, related function and potential mechanism of GSDM family in gastric cancer remain to be elucidated. This study was conducted to systematically analyze the role of GSDM members in gastric cancer based on bioinformatics approaches.Methods By databases that included ONCOMINE, GEPIA2, UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, TIMER 2.0, and DiseaseMeth, the expression profiles, prognostic value, function enrichment, gene alterations, association with immune cell infiltration, and methylation status of GSDM family were comprehensively analyzed.Result Only DFNA5 in the GSDM family was significantly highly expressed in gastric cancer, and the expression level is 2.479 times higher than that of normal tissues. The expression level of DFNA5 was significantly increased in subtypes of TNM stages 2, 3, and 4, as well as in subtypes of tumor grades 2 and 3. In the GSDM family, only DFNA5 had prognostic value in gastric cancer, and the high expression of DFNA5 indicated poor overall survival. In the GSDM family, the gene alteration frequency was highest in GSDMD (19%), followed by GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC (14%), and lowest in DFNA5 (8%) and PJVK (6%). A total of 186 co-expressed genes of GSDM family were further screened in gastric cancer. These molecules may be involved in the tumorgenesis and development process of gastric cancer through signaling pathways related to inflammatory cell apoptosis, chemokine response, and acute inflammatory response. The expression of most GSDM family members was significantly positively correlated with the infiltration of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, whereas only PJVK is found to have negative association with macrophages and dendrites. The low methylation status of GSDMA and GSDMD in gastric cancer were also detected.Conclusion The expression and function profiles of GSDM family are disordered in gastric cancer. GSDM family members, especially DFNA5, may have the potential to become essential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer, as well as provide insight for the development of therapeutic targets.
