Abstract

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most frequently occurring malignant tumors in the world with poor prognosis in digestive tract. LncRNA PVT1 is a potential oncogene, which is crucial for the occurrence and development of GC. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic value of PVT1 associated genes in GC. Methods: PVT1 associated gene (PAG) expression was evaluated on cBioPortal. The gene expression data of PAGs and its corresponding clinical characteristics were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed to assess the prognostic value of PAG in GC. Risk score model was built by lasso COX regression analysis and its prognostic efficacy was evaluated by the Receiver-operator Characteristic (ROC) curve. Cox regression analyses were conducted to investigate risk factors related to GC patient prognosis. Results: There were 10 postively and 5 negatively associated genes that showed a significant difference between normal and GC tissue. Based on the 8 gene signature, the GC patients could be classified into high- or low-risk subgroups with different OS (P<0.001). Cox regression analyses indicated that the PAG risk model score was an independent prognostic factor for OS. Further analysis showed that adding chemotherapy drugs can not prolong the survival of high-risk GC patients. For low-risk patients, chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy is recommended. Even if distant metastasis has occurred, low-risk patients are worthy of active treatment, because their prognosis is often better. Conclusion: PAGs are potential biomarkers to predict the prognosis of GC patients and may assist oncologists to formulate individualized treatment plans for this patient population.
