Construction and Validation of a Prognostic Model of Gastric Cancer with 10RBPs Based on 6 Microarrays

Abstract

For explore the potential connection of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) to the expression function of gastric cancer (GC). We download the GPL10558 and GPL6947 platform mircroarray data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Express database. Then the system integrates and analyzes the differentially expressed RBPs. And enrich the differentially expressed RBPs to understand the mechanism of its influence on tumors. Univariate Cox, lasso regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to screen independent prognostic parameters to construct prognostic model, and calculate aera under time-dependent receiver operating characteristics (AUC) and survival analysis were used to evaluate their prognostic ability. GSE15459, GSE62254 cohorts were used to verify hub signature. Finally, we also verified the prognosis and expression of hub-RBPs. Systematic analysis identified 23 up-regulated and 30 down-regulated RBPs, and enrichment analysis showed that they mainly affect their modification by binding to mRNA, and their stability affects the progression of GC. After multiple statistical analyses, we obtained the prognostic signature constructed by 10 RBPs and determined that it has better predictive performance (AUC = 0.685). Through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis, we have obtained 10 key gastric cancer RBPs as potential prognostic biomarkers, providing new perspectives for the treatment and prognostic of GC.
