Prognostic feature based on androgen-responsive genes in bladder cancer and screening for potential targeted drugs

Abstract Objectives Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a tumor that affects men more than women. The biological function and prognostic value of androgen-responsive genes (ARGs) in BLCA are currently unknown. To address this, we established an androgen signature to determine the prognosis of BLCA. Methods Seq...

description Abstract Objectives Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a tumor that affects men more than women. The biological function and prognostic value of androgen-responsive genes (ARGs) in BLCA are currently unknown. To address this, we established an androgen signature to determine the prognosis of BLCA. Methods Sequencing data for BLCA from the TCGA and GEO datasets were used for research. The tumor microenvironment (TME) was measured using Cibersort and ssGSEA. Prognosis-related genes were identified and a risk score model was constructed using univariate Cox regression, LASSO regression, and multivariate Cox regression. Drug sensitivity analysis was performed using Genomics of drug sensitivity in cancer (GDSC). Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to assess the expression of representative genes in clinical samples. Results ARGs (especially the CDK6, FADS1, PGM3, SCD, PTK2B, and TPD52) might regulate the progression of BLCA. The different expression patterns of ARGs may lead to different immune cell infiltration. The risk model indicates that patients with higher risk scores have a poorer prognosis, more stromal infiltration, and an enrichment of biological functions. Single-cell RNA analysis, bulk RNA data, and PCR analysis support the reliability of this risk model, and a nomogram was also established for clinical use. Drug prediction analysis showed that high-risk patients had a better response to fludarabine, AZD8186, and carmustine. Conclusion ARGs played an important role in the progression, immune infiltration, and prognosis of BLCA. The ARGs model has high accuracy in predicting the prognosis of BLCA patients and provides more effective medication guidelines.
