Abstract:
|
The use of biomarkers that capture aberrant gene expression and activity profiles is already playing a critical role in tumor diagnosis and classification, assisting decision-making in treating lung cancers. In this study, we developed a supervised network approach to select 18 "features" (genes) using a microarray dataset of over 400 lung cancer patients. 67% of the 18 genes were previously observed as targets in paclitaxel-dependent synthetic lethal screen, having known genetic alterations in tumor samples, or both. A predictive model was developed on the basis of the expression levels of these 18 genes, and the prognosis value of the model was validated in multiple datasets including 5 most widely used microarray platforms. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the 12 functionally important genes are predictive to treatment-sensitivity for adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) when applied to a proprietary clinical study and the JBR.10 clinical trial. This function-centric approach can be easily extended to and is potentially helpful to studies on other types of diseases.
