Abstract | Abstract The heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a challenge for accurate prognosis prediction. DNA damage repair genes (DDRGs) have an impact on a wide range of malignancies. However, the relevance of these genes in HCC prognosis has received little attention. In this study, we aimed to develop a prognostic signature to identify novel therapy options for HCC. We acquired mRNA expression profiles and clinical data for HCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. A polygenic prognostic model for HCC was constructed using selection operator Cox analysis and least absolute shrinkage. The model was validated using International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) data. Overall survival (OS) between the high-risk and low-risk groups was compared using Kaplan‒Meier analysis. Independent predictors of OS were identified through both univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. To determine immune cell infiltration scores and activity in immune-related pathways, a single-sample gene set enrichment analysis was performed. The protein and mRNA expression levels of the prognostic genes between HCC and normal liver tissues were also examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). A novel ten-gene signature (CHD1L, HDAC1, KPNA2, MUTYH, PPP2R5B, NEIL3, POLR2L, RAD54B, RUVBL1 and SPP1) was established for HCC prognosis prediction. Patients in the high-risk group had worse OS than those in the low-risk group. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis confirmed the predictive ability of this prognostic gene signature. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the risk score was an independent predictor of OS. Functional analysis revealed a strong association with cell cycle and antigen binding pathways, and the risk score was highly correlated with tumor grade, tumor stage, and types of immune infiltrate. High expression levels of the prognostic genes were significantly correlated with increased sensitivity of cancer cells to antitumor drugs. ... |
