RGS2在泛癌中诊断、预后和免疫浸润的分析

Pan-cancer Analysis of RGS2 Gene in Diagnosis, Prognosis and Immune Infiltration

  • 摘要: 为探究G蛋白信号调节蛋白2 (Regulator of G Protein Signaling 2, RGS2)在泛癌中的表达与预后和免疫浸润的关系,利用生物信息学方法、结合R语言与多个数据库进行了深入分析。首先,通过TCGA数据库分析RGS2在33种癌症肿瘤组织与正常组织中的差异表达,并通过GEO数据库对部分结果进行验证;再通过Cox回归分析与log-rank检验进行预后分析。接着进行免疫浸润分析,并通过ssGSEA分析RGS2对免疫微环境的影响;根据RGS2表达的高低分组获取差异基因,并通过Gene Ontology (GO)、Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) 富集分析找到与RGS2相关的分子通路。最后,通过STRING数据库、GENEMANIA数据库获取RGS2的相关基因,搭建蛋白互作网络 (Protein-Protein Interaction Networks, PPI)。结果表明,RGS2表达量在24种癌症肿瘤组织显著下调,在4种癌症中显著上调。RGS2在膀胱尿路上皮癌、肾透明细胞癌、肝细胞肝癌、胃腺癌中为危险因素,但在皮肤黑色素瘤、子宫癌肉瘤为保护因素。免疫浸润分析结果表明,RGS2表达与多数免疫细胞表达量显著正相关,但与Th17细胞表达量显著负相关。富集分析表明,RGS2与补体活化、免疫球蛋白受体结合等功能和通路密切相关。PPI蛋白互作网络显示RGS2与RGS4、GNA11、GNA14等基因具有显著相关性。综上所述,RGS2在28种癌症中显著差异表达,可作6种癌症的独立预后因子,与多种癌症的免疫浸润水平显著相关。因此,RGS2有望成为多种癌症的诊断、预后、免疫浸润的新型生物标志物,有望成为一种新的治疗靶点。

     

    Abstract: This study aims to investigate the relationship between RGS2 expression, prognosis, and immune infiltration in pan-cancer by using bioinformatics analysis methods based on R and various databases. Firstly, the differential expression of RGS2 in 33 different tumor and normal tissues was analyzed based on the TCGA database and verified in the GEO database partly. Prognostic analysis was performed using Cox regression analysis and log-rank test. Secondly, immune infiltration was performed to analyze the effect of RGS2 on the immune microenvironment by ssGSEA. Differential genes expression was obtained according to the group of high and low RGS2 expression. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed on the differential genes to identify the molecular pathways related to RGS2. Finally, RGS2 related genes were obtained through STRING and GENEMANIA databases, and protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) were constructed. The results showed that RGS2 expression was significantly lower in 24 tumor tissues, but higher in four tumor tissues. RGS2 was a risk factor in bladder urothelial carcinoma, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma and stomach adenocarcinoma, while a protective factor in skin cutaneous melanoma and uterine carcinosarcoma. Immune infiltration analysis displayed that RGS2 expression was significantly positively correlated with the expression of most immune cells, while negatively correlated with the expression of Th17 cells in various cancers. Moreover, enrichment analysis showed that RGS2 expression is closely associated with functions and pathways such as complement activation and immunoglobulin receptor binding. The Protein-Protein Interaction Networks revealed that RGS2 expression was significantly correlated with RGS4, GNA11, GNA14 and other genes. In conclusion, RGS2 was aberrantly expressed in 28 cancers, which served as an independent predictor for the prognosis of six cancers and significantly associated with the level of immune infiltration in several cancers. Thus, RGS2 is expected to become a novel biomarker of various cancers, which is potential to providing novel treatment alternatives for patients.
