Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a PCR array kit for detecting tumor lipid metabolism status and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of molecular tumor biology research, the key role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in tumorigenesis and progression has been gradually revealed and confirmed. Tumor cells not only obtain the energy required for survival and proliferation by regulating pathways such as fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol metabolism, and lipid oxidation, but also utilize lipid metabolic intermediates to participate in signal transduction and epigenetic regulation. Abnormal lipid metabolism has become a prominent metabolic hallmark of cancer. Cancer cells rely on lipid metabolism for energy, biomembrane synthesis, and significantly enhance their proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. Furthermore, abnormal lipid metabolism profoundly impacts the tumor microenvironment and its response to cancer therapy. Disturbances in tumor cell lipid metabolism lead to an immunosuppressive phenotype and extensively interact with the complex tumor immune microenvironment. For example, CD36 promotes tumor growth and mediates drug resistance in the tumor microenvironment by targeting lipids in tumor-associated macrophages. Furthermore, CD36 plays a key role in myeloid-derived suppressor cells by increasing fatty acid uptake and oxidation, thereby supporting their immunosuppressive function. Abnormal lipid metabolism in tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells significantly enhances their immunosuppressive function. Disturbed lipid metabolism in the tumor microenvironment also inhibits the recruitment of CD8+ T cells and impairs their tumor-killing capacity. Therefore, accurate quantification of tumor lipid metabolism status has become a key molecular basis for predicting treatment response and prognosis.
[0003] However, current clinical detection methods still mainly rely on traditional serum biochemical indicators. These methods are difficult to fully, dynamically and accurately reflect the complex metabolic state of tumor cells, which seriously restricts the precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Existing detection technologies such as microarray technology and transcriptome sequencing technology can cover the expression detection of all genes, but they are still insufficient in accuracy, and have disadvantages such as high cost, cumbersome operation and long time consumption. The test results still need to rely on real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology for review. Although qPCR technology is currently the most mature and accurate method for gene quantitative detection, it also has limitations such as low throughput and cumbersome operation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative tool that can detect lipid metabolic reprogramming in a multi-dimensional and high-throughput manner, which can not only accurately evaluate the metabolic characteristics of tumor cells, but also predict the patient's treatment response and prognosis, and provide clinicians with a molecular basis for personalized treatment.

All technologies implemented based on the above-mentioned contents of the present invention are encompassed within the scope that the present invention is intended to protect. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art. The experimental reagents in the examples, unless otherwise specified, can all be obtained commercially. The experimental methods in the examples, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional methods.
[0057] Example 1 Screening of key genes for tumor lipid metabolism
[0058] First, the complete set of genes related to lipid metabolism pathways was downloaded from public databases. Based on the lipid metabolism gene expression profiles of the TCGA dataset samples, consensus cluster analysis was performed using the R package ConsensusClusterPlus. Finally, two lipid metabolism subtypes with significant differences were identified (Cluster 1 and Cluster 2, sample size N = 268 / 229; see Appendix). Figure 1 A). Survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the prognosis of the two subtypes, with the overall survival (OS) of patients in Cluster 2 being significantly worse than that in patients in Cluster 1 (see Appendix Figure 1 B). The expression profiles of lipid metabolism genes can effectively distinguish these two different lipid metabolism patterns (see Appendix Figure 1 C). Analysis of the clinical characteristics of different subgroups of patients showed that there were no significant differences in the distribution of characteristics such as age group, stage, and sex, but there were significant differences in the distribution of immunophenotyping (p < 0.05; see Appendix). Figure 1 D).
[0059] To explore the differences in biological behavior between different lipid metabolism subtypes, gene set variation analysis (GSVA) based on the HALLMARK gene set was performed. The results showed that most of the 50 HALLMARK pathways were significantly enriched between the two groups, among which Cluster2 was significantly enriched in pathways such as DNA damage repair and hypoxia (see Appendix). Figure 2 A). Further analysis of the distribution of 28 immune cell infiltration scores, immune scores, stromal scores, and tumor purity in samples of different subtypes revealed significant differences in most immune cell infiltration scores between the two groups (see Appendix). Figure 2 Cluster 1 had significantly lower matrix scores and total ESTIMATE scores than Cluster 2 (see Appendix Figure 2 D, F), the tumor purity was significantly higher than that of Cluster 2 (see Appendix Figure 2 G), while there was no significant difference in the immune scores between the two subgroups (see Appendix Figure 2 E).
[0060] Based on the differentially expressed genes obtained from the above analysis, univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed, and 137 genes significantly associated with prognosis were screened out (p < 0.01). The expression data of these genes were used for principal component analysis (PCA) to calculate the lipid metabolism status score (LipidMet Score) of each sample. According to the median value of the Score (-0.04613714), the samples were divided into a high score group (High) and a low score group (Low). Survival analysis showed that the OS of patients in the High group was significantly worse than that in the Low group (see Appendix Figure 3 A). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the score had a predictive efficacy (AUC) of 0.694, 0.644, and 0.623 for the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS of the sample, respectively, demonstrating that the score can effectively characterize the OS risk of the sample.
[0061] To verify the universality of the scoring system, the same method was used to calculate the scores in four independent validation datasets (GSE68465_GPL96, GSE72094_GPL15048, GSE42127_GPL6884, and GSE50081_GPL570). The results showed that all validation datasets showed good prediction consistency (see Appendix Figure 3 BE), its 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS prediction AUCs were:
[0062] GSE68465_GPL96: 0.700, 0.674, 0.620
[0063] GSE72094_GPL15048: 0.696, 0.671, 0.774
[0064] GSE42127_GPL6884: 0.891, 0.723, 0.725
[0065] GSE50081_GPL570: 0.675, 0.722, 0.730
[0066] Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were further used to evaluate the independent prognostic value of the Score model relative to other clinical factors. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, and stage, both univariate and multivariate Cox analyses confirmed that LipidMetScore was an independent risk factor for patient prognosis (see Appendix Figure 4In addition, the sample distribution of different lipid metabolism patterns (Cluster), genomic phenotypes (geneCluster), immune subtypes and Score groups (High / Low) is shown (see Appendix Figure 5 K). The distribution differences of LipidMet Score among different groups were compared: the score of Cluster2 was significantly higher than that of Cluster1, and the score of geneCluster2 was significantly higher than that of geneCluster1; there were also significant differences in the scores among different clinical characteristics groups such as stage, age group and immunophenotype (see Appendix Figure 5 Finally, based on the results of univariate and multivariate Cox analysis, 86 key genes in tumor lipid metabolism were screened and identified (see Table 1-1, Table 1-2).
