BackgroundAnoikis resistance is a hallmark characteristic of oncogenic transformation, which is crucial for tumor progression and metastasis. The aim of this study was to identify and validate a novel anoikis‐related prognostic model for prostate cancer (PCa).MethodsWe collected a gene expression profile, single nucleotide polymorphism mutation and copy number variation (CNV) data of 495 PCa patients from the TCGA database and 140 PCa samples from the MSKCC dataset. We extracted 434 anoikis‐related genes and unsupervised consensus cluster analysis was used to identify molecular subtypes. The immune infiltration, molecular function, and genome alteration of subtypes were evaluated. A risk signature was developed using Cox regression analysis and validated with the MSKCC dataset. We also identify potential drugs for high‐risk group patients.ResultsTwo subtypes were identified. C1 exhibited a higher level of CNV amplification, immune score, stromal score, aneuploidy score, homologous recombination deficiency, intratumor heterogeneity, single‐nucleotide variant neoantigens, and tumor mutational burden compared to C2. C2 showed a better survival outcome and had a high level of gamma delta T cell and activated B cell infiltration. The risk signature consisting of four genes (HELLS, ZWINT, ABCC5, and TPSB2) was developed (area under the curve = 0.780) and was found to be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in PCa patients. Four CTRP‐derived and four PRISM‐derived compounds were identified for high‐risk patients.ConclusionsThe anoikis‐related prognostic model developed in this study could be a useful tool for clinical decision‐making. This study may provide a new perspective for the treatment of anoikis‐related PCa.

Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related death among females worldwide. Anoikis, a specific type of apoptosis that is triggered by the loss of anchoring between cells and the native extracellular matrix, plays a vital role in cancer invasion and metastasis. However, studies that focus on the prognostic values of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in breast cancer are scarce. Methods Gene expression data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) databases. Five anoikis-related signatures (ARS) were selected from ARGs through univariate Cox regression analysis, LASSO regression analysis, and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Subsequently, an ARGs risk score model was established, and breast cancer patients were divided into high and low risk groups. The correlation between risk groups and overall survival (OS), tumor mutation burden (TMB), tumor microenvironment (TME), stemness, and drug sensitivity were analyzed. Moreover, RT-qPCR was performed to verify the gene expression levels of the five ARS in breast cancer tissues. Furthermore, a nomogram model was constructed based on ARGs risk score and clinicopathological factors. Results A novel ARGs risk score model was constructed based on five ARS (CEMIP, LAMB3, CD24, PTK6, and PLK1), and breast cancer patients were divided into high and low risk groups. Correlation analysis showed that the high and low risk groups had different OS, TMB, TME, stemness, and drug sensitivity. Both the ARGs risk score model and the nomogram showed promising prognosis predictive value in breast cancer. Conclusion ARS could be used as promising biomarkers for breast cancer prognosis predication and treatment options selection.
Background Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies among men worldwide. Anoikis is a form of programmed cell death that is potentially negatively correlated with tumor progression; however, its relationship with prostate cancer remains inconclusive. Methods The transcriptomic and clinical data for this study were obtained from the TCGA and GEO databases. The prediction model was established using univariate Cox, multivariate Cox, and LASSO regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves determined the predictive performance, and the GEO database was used for external validation. Patients were stratified into different risk groups, and their prognoses were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis. We also analyzed immune cell infiltration and sensitivity to immunotherapeutic drugs in prostate cancer patients. The BUB1 gene was selected for in vitro experimental validation. Results We constructed a prognostic risk prediction model using four ARGs: BUB1, PTGS2, RAC3, and IRX1. Patients in the high-risk group had worse overall survival than those in the low-risk group, with significant differences in immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint expression, and sensitivity to immunotherapeutic drugs. Using NMF, we categorized TCGA prostate cancer patients into two subgroups, with cluster2 having better prognoses. Gene expression and immune cell infiltration were compared between the subgroups. Knocking down the BUB1 gene in PC3 and C4-2 cell lines reduced prostate cancer cell proliferation and invasion and altered EMT-related protein expression. Conclusion After external validation, our study shows that the ARG-based predictive model accurately forecasts prostate cancer prognosis. In vitro experiments revealed that the BUB1 gene significantly affects prostate cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and the expression of specific EMT-related proteins. Thus, BUB1 is a potential therapeutic target.
