Data_Sheet_2_Comprehensive Analysis of N6-methyladenosine Modification Patterns Associated With Multiomic Characteristics of Bladder Cancer.ZIP
Purpose: To comprehensively analyze N6-methyladenosine modification patterns in bladder tumors and to further systematically explore the inherent relationships between these modification patterns and multiomic tumor characteristics.
Materials and Methods: A total of 901 bladder tumor samples, including 405 samples from TCGA database, 188 samples from GSE13507 and 308 samples from GSE32894, were included in this systematic analysis. The N6-methyladenosine modification patterns were identified utilizing unsupervised clustering analysis. To quantify N6-methyladenosine modification patterns, the m6Ascore of individual sample was developed using principal component analysis algorithms. Relationships among immune infiltration, tumor mutation burden, various clinical characteristics, molecular subtypes, and the m6Ascore were systematically analyzed. The guiding value of m6Ascore in immunotherapy was further validated in an external trial cohort. Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer expression references were also utilized to perform drug sensitivity analysis for patients with distinct m6A modification patterns.
Results: We determined three different N6-methyladenosine modification patterns for 901 bladder tumors. The quantitative m6Ascore of individual sample derived from N6-methyladenosine modification patterns could play a significant role in predicting overall survival, immune cell infiltration, and classic oncogene mutations. A low m6Ascore combined with high tumor mutation burden indicated better survival outcomes (p < 0.001). A higher m6Ascore also indicated a higher grade, higher T and N stage, elder ages, higher death rate, and higher PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 expressions (p < 0.01). The Basal type tended to exhibit significantly higher m6Ascores than the Luminal and Neuronal subtypes. External immunotherapy cohorts demonstrated that no difference in therapeutic effects was noted between the high and low m6Ascore groups when anti-PD1 immunotherapy was exclusively administered. When anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 immunotherapy were simultaneously administered, the high m6Ascore group had a significantly better prognosis than the low m6Ascore group (p < 0.001). High m6A groups were potentially sensitive to various medical treatments including Bleomycin, Bortezomib, Cisplatin, Cyclopamine, Dasatinib, Docetaxe, Rapamycin, and Vinblastine in this study.
Conclusions: This study systematically revealed the important roles of m6A methylation modification patterns in bladder tumors. Detailed quantification of m6A modification patterns could improve our understanding of the bladder tumor microenvironments and could provide guidance for future immunotherapy strategies.
