In this study, LUAD was classified into two molecular subtypes based on CNVs and mRNA expression data, with worse outcomes observed in Cluster 1. TROAP and RASGRF1 were identified as novel prognostic biomarkers in LUAD, with significant roles in cancer progression confirmed through in vitro experiments. This research provides new insights into molecular classification and potential target genes for LUAD.
The classical factors for predicting prognosis currently cannot meet the developing requirements of individualized and accurate prognostic evaluation in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). With the rapid development of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies, genomic changes have been discovered. These sequencing data provide unprecedented opportunities for identifying cancer molecular subtypes. In this article, we classified LUAD into two distinct molecular subtypes (Cluster 1 and Cluster 2) based on Copy Number Variations (CNVs) and mRNA expression data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) based on non-negative matrix factorization. Patients in Cluster 1 had worse outcomes than that in Cluster 2. Molecular features in subtypes were assessed to explain this phenomenon by analyzing differential expression genes expression pattern, which involved in cellular processes and environmental information processing. Analysis of immune cell populations suggested different distributions of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and dendritic cells in the two subtypes. Subsequently, two novel genes, TROAP and RASGRF1, were discovered to be prognostic biomarkers in TCGA, which were confirmed in GSE31210 and Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital LUAD cohorts. We further proved their crucial roles in cancers by vitro experiments. TROAP mediates tumor cell proliferation, cycle, invasion, and migration, not apoptosis. RASGRF1 has a significant effect on tumor microenvironment. In conclusion, our study provides a novel insight into molecular classification based on CNVs related genes in LUAD, which may contribute to identify new molecular subtypes and target genes.
