Description

Prognosis evaluation system for prostate cancer patient and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to a prognosis evaluation system for a prostate cancer patient and application thereof.
Background
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in the global male population, and is also the fifth leading cause of death in men. However, currently available cancer classification systems do not accurately predict the prognosis of prostate cancer patients and do not guide clinicians to the treatment of patients. Therefore, we aimed to establish an evaluation system based on the behavior characteristics of immune cells/immune responses that can be used to predict the prognosis of patients and the response to immunotherapy.
The Prostate Cancer Immune Prognostic Index (PCIPI) is a promising biological typing system for assessing the recurrence-free survival of prostate cancer. Patients with high PCIPI may benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Recently, more and more studies have found that Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) are associated with the prognosis and progression of various cancers. Understanding the infiltration and activity of TILs in prostate cancer helps urologists/oncologists to understand patient prognosis and to develop a targeted immunotherapy regimen, so determining PCIPI is critical to clinical treatment of prostate cancer patients.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a prognosis evaluation system for a prostate cancer patient and application thereof, wherein the PCIPI is established to determine the correlation between the PCIPI and the relapse-free survival time (RFS) of the patient, tumor-infiltrated immune cells and mutation load, which is helpful for explaining the potential mechanism of drug resistance generation of immunotherapy and is convenient for guiding clinical treatment of the prostate cancer patient.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a prognostic assessment system for prostate cancer patients, said assessment system comprising a system for detecting 14 sets of immune-related signatures of aDCs, angiogenises, CSF1Response, GRANS, HCK, Lymphocyte-Specific activator, Neutrophils, NK CD56 bright cells, NK CD56 dim cells, Macrophages, Pro-inflamamatory, promotion, Stromcell and ZMYND10 Metal.
Preferably, the assessment system comprises determining the prostate cancer immune prognosis index PCIPI by adding the NES scores of the 14 immune-related gene sets aDC, angiogenisis, CSF1Response, GRANS, HCK, Lymphocyte-Specific activator, Neutrophils, NK CD56 bright cells, NK CD56 dim cells, Macrophages, Pro-inflamadory, Proliferation, Stromcell, ZMYND10 Metal, i.e., the PCIPI is obtained by the formula

(2) RNA extraction and sequencing:
the Neasy FFPE kit used for RNA extraction was produced by qiagen r, germany, and total RNA was extracted from FFPE samples according to the experimental method in its specification; the quality of the extracted RNA was assessed by Nanodrop (OD260/280, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) and further analyzed by Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent, CA, USA); after obtaining the total RNA, firstly removing the ribosome RNA in the total RNA, and then cracking the total RNA into a short segment of 250-300 bp; and using these short-fragment RNAs as templates and random oligonucleotides as primers to synthesize the first strand of cDNA; subsequently, the second strand of the cDNA is synthesized using dNTPs (dUTP, dATP, dGTP and dCTP) as a starting material by the action of DNA polymerase I; after purification, the double stranded cDNA was end-repaired and ligated with the Poly-A tail for sequencing. Using AMPure XP magnetic beads to sort out a cDNA fragment of 200 bp; the second strand of the U-containing cDNA was degraded using USER enzyme and subjected to PCR amplification to obtain a gene library. After a gene library is obtained, carrying out primary quantification by using a Qubit 2.0, diluting the gene library to 1.5ng/uL, and then detecting the size of an insert fragment of the library by using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer; after the library is checked, according to the effective concentration and the data output requirement of the gene library, carrying out Illumina PE150 sequencing after merging; then, the final expression matrix is obtained through the processes of preprocessing, reading and comparing, quality control, transcriptome reconstruction, expression quantification and the like of the original data.
(3) Data preprocessing of gene expression profiles:
the data from the 8 cohort studies incorporated above were de-batched and standardized. The expression profiles of all genes will be displayed as transcript values Per Kilobase Per Million fragments (TPM). Meanwhile, the genes with TPM value less than 1 are all rejected.
(4) Collection of immune cell features and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA):
for analyzing immune related factors of prostate cancer patients, related genes which appear at least once are selected through literature search, and genes which appear repeatedly are combined to finally obtain 65 immune related characteristic genes. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using the R package "clusterirprofiler" and single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was performed using the "GSVA" R package. Normalized Enrichment Scores (NES) were calculated for 65 immune-related features in each sample from the eight cohorts.
(5) Establishment of PCIPI:
the above 65 tumor-associated immunoinfiltration/immune response characteristic gene sets were searched and sorted. 14 significant sets of immune-related signatures were found by univariate Cox regression analysis and meta-analysis methods (all feature sets with P <0.01, as shown in FIGS. 1-14), and the immune-related signature sets were aDC, angiogenisis, CSF1Response, GRANS, HCK, Lymphocyte-Specific activator, Neutrophils, NK CD56 bright cells, NK CD56 dim cells, Macrophages, Pro-infllamation, Prolification, Stromcell and ZMYND10 metals, respectively. The PCIPI was obtained by adding Normalized Enrichment Scores (NES) of the 14 important immune-related signals described above, and was calculated as:

meta-analysis indicated that high PCIPI is a risk factor for prostate cancer RFS [ risk ratio (HR) 1.86, 95% CI: 1.52-2.29, P <0.05, as in FIGS. 15B-F.
Example 2:
predictive testing of the PCIPI system in adjusting the main clinical pathology:
(1) screening the queues with the HR value larger than 1.5, and performing multivariate Cox regression analysis; it was found that in the four cohorts of TCGA-PRAD, AHMU-PC, GSE116918 and GSE70770, PCIPI is an independent prognostic factor for prostate cancer patients (as shown in Table 3 below);
(2) comparing the RFS outcomes of patients in different PCIPI subgroups using a ratio of restricted mean survival time (RMS), the ratio of the four data sets was between 0.63 and 0.89 (as shown in Table 4 below), i.e., the predicted results were more stable;
(3) in the TCGA-PRAD and AHMU-PC cohorts, NES increases in aDC, angiogenesis, macrophages, NK cells and pro-inflammatory signals in the PCIPI-HIGH (HIGH score) subgroup (P <0.05, shown in fig. 15G and fig. 16).

The results show that the newly defined PCIPI typing system can predict RFS of prostate cancer patients and reflect the local immune infiltration state of prostate tumor.
Example 3:
further assessment whether PCIPI indicates immunoinfiltrates in prostate cancer patients:
(1) assessing the correlation of the PCIPI identified above with the Immune Score and tumor purity as defined by Yoshihara et al, with PCIPI significantly positively correlated with Immune Score (all P <0.001, as in FIG. 15H-I) and negatively correlated with tumor purity (all P <0.001, as in FIG. 15J-K) in the TCGA-PRAD and AHMU-PC groups; similar results were obtained in the MSKCC, GSE70770, GSE46602 and GSE116918 queues (see fig. 15L);
(2) TILs infiltration abundance was confirmed by HE staining, confirming that these degrees of cellular infiltration correlated positively with PCIPI scores in the TCGA-PRAD cohort (P <0.001, as in fig. 15M);
(3) GSEA analysis was also performed to compare two groups of PCIPI-HIGH and PCIPI-LOW (LOW score) in the TCGA-PRAD cohort, and significant enrichment of chemokine signaling pathways (FIG. 15N), B cell receptor signaling pathways (FIG. 15O), T cell receptor signaling pathways, etc. in the PCIPI-HIGH subgroup was found;
(4) comparing the infiltration of 28 immune cells in the PCIPI-HIGH group and the PCIPI-LOW group; as shown in fig. 17A, infiltration abundance of most immune cells in 7 cohorts of PCIPI-HIGH group was HIGH;
(5) comparing the infiltration of immune cells between PCIPI-HIGH and PCIPI-LOW subgroups in the AHMU-PC cohort, a significant increase in infiltration of CD8+ T cells, macrophages, Th1 cells and Th17 cells was observed for the PCIPI-HIGH group (all P <0.05, fig. 17B);
(6) to verify the infiltration of different immune cells, formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections were used to evaluate specific markers in tissues from the AHMU-PC cohort from 10 PCIPI-HIGH patients and 10 PCIPI-LOW patients (see fig. 17C); the PCIPI-HIGH group is highly enriched in CD8 positive cells (P ═ 0.0271) and CD163 positive (macrophage specific marker) immune cells (P ═ 0.0208).
In addition, there was an increased tendency for staining with IFN- γ (P. 0.1635) and IL-17A (P. 0.7113) in the PCIPI high group compared to the PCIPI low group.
Example 4:
validation that the PCIPI typing system can be used as a predictor to assess whether patients benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy:
(1) immune checkpoint blockade therapies have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of a variety of tumors. In the present invention, the association between PCIPI and expression of 66 immune checkpoints was evaluated, as shown in fig. 18A, PCIPI is positively correlated with expression of most immune checkpoints in the 7 cohorts, in particular PD-L1(CD 274);
(2) positive correlation of PD-L1 with PCIPI was observed in 5 out of the 7 cohorts in the above evaluation, in these 5 cohorts mRNA expression was higher for the PCIPI-HIGH subgroup PD-L1 than for the PCIPI-LOW subgroup (TCGA-PRAD: P < 0.001; GSE 116918: P ═ 0.004; GSE 70770: P < 0.001; kcmscc: P < 0.001; AHMU-PC: P ═ 0.066, fig. 18B);
(3) the response of the PCIPI cohort to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTAL-4 immunotherapy in the five cohorts described above was predicted and the results showed that the PCIPI-HIGH subgroup of patients better benefited from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy compared to the PCIPI-LOW subgroup of patients (all five cohorts, Bonferroni corrected P <0.05, fig. 18C).
The above results indicate that the PCIPI typing system can be used as a predictor to assess whether patients benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.
Example 5:
copy Number Variation (CNV) and Somatic mutation (somatization) of tumor tissues affect immune activation/suppression and patient response to immunotherapy:
(1) the PCIPI-HIGH subgroup of patients had higher levels of CNV variation in both Arm-level (FIG. 19A) and Focal-level (FIG. 19B); among the frequently mutated genes, TP53 (16%), SPOP (11%), TTN (10%), KMT2D (7%) and FOXA1 (6%) were the most common 5 mutated genes in the PCIPI-HIGH group (as in fig. 19C), while SPOP (11%), TTN (11%), TP53 (7%), FOXA1 (7%) and SPTA1 (5%) were the most mutated 5 genes in the PCIPI-LOW group (as in fig. 19D).
(2) The mutation of the TP53 gene was significantly different between the two groups (16% vs.7%, fisher exact test P0.0017); in addition, patients with the TP53 mutation had higher PCIPI values than patients without the TP53 mutation (P ═ 0.034, fig. 19E); and most of the mutations were located in the DNA binding region of TP53 (FIG. 19F).
The above results indicate that the TP53 mutation is closely related to the immune microenvironment activated by prostate cancer, highlighting the potential role of TP53 in modulating the immunotherapeutic response.
Example 6:
firstly, the method comprises the following steps: predictive effect on RFS in prostate cancer patients
(1) After comparing RFS results for 4 immune subtype patients, the survival rate was found to be highest for the C3 subtype patients (P ═ 0.0026, fig. 20A-B).
(2) Further comparison of the C3 subtype revealed a significant deterioration in prognosis for patients with PCIPI-HIGH compared to those with PCIPI-LOW (P ═ 0.062, fig. 20C).
(3) It was found that HIGH infiltration of Th1 and Th17 cells was a hallmark of the C3 subtype, whereas in the C3 subtype of this study, infiltration of Th1 and Th17 cells was significantly higher in the PCIPI-HIGH subgroup than in the PCIPI-LOW subgroup (both P <0.05, fig. 20D).
(4) Comparing the PCIPI subgroup to the three PAM50 subgroups, the results indicated that the Basal subtype was associated with the high PCIPI subtype and the LumB subtype was associated with the low PCIPI subtype (fig. 20E); Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with PCIPI-HIGH and LumB subtypes had the worst prognosis (P <0.001, FIG. 20F).
Taken together, the prognostic approach based on the combination of PCIPI of 6 pan-carcinoma immune subtypes with the PAM50 system improved the predictive effect on RFS in prostate cancer patients.
II, secondly: further improving the accuracy of prognosis prediction
(1) Combining the PCIPI with the clinical pathology variables included in the study based on the coefficients obtained from the multivariate Cox regression analysis; it was found that a continuous form of the clinical pathology of the Immune Prognostic Index (IPICPS) associated with PCIPI could significantly improve the predictive power of RFS (C-Index: TCGA-PRAD group: 0.731vs.0.598, P < 0.001; AHMU-PC group: 0.712vs.0.534, P < 0.001; MSKCC cohort: 0.850vs.0.605, P < 0.001; GSE46602 cohort: 0.770vs.0.631, P ═ 0.002; FIG. 21).
(2) Improvements in prediction performance were also observed in the GSE25136 and GSE70770 queues, however, there were no significant differences in the GSE116918 queues.
In conclusion, the prediction accuracy of the RFS of the prostate cancer patient can be obviously improved by combining the PCIPI system and clinical pathological features.
