Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Therefore, understanding the factors linked to patient survival is essential. Recently, multi-omics analysis has emerged, allowing for patient groups to be classified according to prognosis and at a more individual level, to support the use of precision medicine. Here, we combined RNA expression and miRNA expression with clinical information, to conduct a multi-omics analysis, using publicly available datasets (the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) focusing on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD)). We were able to successfully subclass patients according to survival. The classifiers we developed, using inferred labels obtained from patient subtypes showed that a support vector machine (SVM), gave the best classification results, with an accuracy of 0.82 with the test dataset. Using these subtypes, we ranked genes based on RNA expression levels. The top 25 genes were investigated, to elucidate the mechanisms that underlie patient prognosis. Bioinformatics analyses showed that the expression levels of six out of 25 genes (ERO1B, DPY19L1, NCAM1, RET, MARCH1, and SLC7A8) were associated with LUAD patient survival (p < 0.05), and pathway analyses indicated that major cancer signaling was altered in the subtypes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
