Genome Instability-Related miRNAs Predict Survival, Immune Landscape, and Immunotherapy Responses in Gastric Cancer
Background. Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in genome instability (GI) and drive the occurrence of tumors. However, the role of GI-related miRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) remains largely unknown. Herein, we developed a novel GI-related miRNA signature (GIMiSig) and fu...

Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in genome instability (GI) and drive the occurrence of tumors.

An analysis of somatic mutation data on 434 gastric cancer cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was performed, thereby generating genome stability (GS) and GI groups.

Using GIMiSig to stratify the patients into the high- and low-risk subgroups to predict survival outperformed the use of regular clinical features such as age, gender, or disease stage. Patients with low risk had a more favorable survival time than those with high risk. More importantly, the high-risk patients were associated with decreased UBQLN4 expression, higher accumulation of immune cells, lower Titin (TTN) mutation frequency, worse immunotherapy efficacy, and cancer-associated pathways. Conversely, the low-risk patients were characterized by UBQLN4 overexpression, lower fraction of immune cells, higher TTN mutation frequency, better response to immunotherapy, and GI-related pathways.
