          Abstract

          Background

          Prostate cancer (PCa) contributes to more than 1.2 million newly diagnosed cases and more than 350,000 deaths each year, making it the second most common malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide. Treatment of PCa is further complicated by drug resistance to enzalutamide. The present study comprehensively details the genomic characteristics of enzalutamide-resistant PCa.

          Methods

          The determination of enzalutamide-related genes in GSE163240 and GSE136129 was conducted by differential expression analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) suggested that these genes were highly correlated with immune-related pathways. Subsequently, network analysis including module analysis and degree analysis and univariable cox analysis were conducted, which led to the identification of both hub genes [contactin 2 ( CNTN2) and frizzled class receptor 2 ( FZD2)].

          Results

          GSEA suggested that these genes were highly correlated with immune-related pathways. Subsequently, network analysis, including module analysis and degree analysis, and univariable Cox analysis resulted in the identification of two hub genes, CNTN2 and FZD2, which were further validated using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB). GSEA and CIBERSORT indicated that both hub genes were highly correlated with immune-related functions in PCa.

          Conclusions

          In conclusion, this study comprehensively described the transcriptome landscape of enzalutamide-resistant PCa and identified two hub genes, CNTN2 and FZD2, that play an important role in enzalutamide-mediated immune infiltration in PCa.

          Global Cancer Statistics 2018: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries

          This article provides a status report on the global burden of cancer worldwide using the GLOBOCAN 2018 estimates of cancer incidence and mortality produced by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, with a focus on geographic variability across 20 world regions. There will be an estimated 18.1 million new cancer cases (17.0 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) and 9.6 million cancer deaths (9.5 million excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) in 2018. In both sexes combined, lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer (11.6% of the total cases) and the leading cause of cancer death (18.4% of the total cancer deaths), closely followed by female breast cancer (11.6%), prostate cancer (7.1%), and colorectal cancer (6.1%) for incidence and colorectal cancer (9.2%), stomach cancer (8.2%), and liver cancer (8.2%) for mortality. Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer and the leading cause of cancer death among males, followed by prostate and colorectal cancer (for incidence) and liver and stomach cancer (for mortality). Among females, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death, followed by colorectal and lung cancer (for incidence), and vice versa (for mortality); cervical cancer ranks fourth for both incidence and mortality. The most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death, however, substantially vary across countries and within each country depending on the degree of economic development and associated social and life style factors. It is noteworthy that high-quality cancer registry data, the basis for planning and implementing evidence-based cancer control programs, are not available in most low- and middle-income countries. The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development is an international partnership that supports better estimation, as well as the collection and use of local data, to prioritize and evaluate national cancer control efforts.

            Gene Ontology: tool for the unification of biology

            Genomic sequencing has made it clear that a large fraction of the genes specifying the core biological functions are shared by all eukaryotes. Knowledge of the biological role of such shared proteins in one organism can often be transferred to other organisms. The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing. To this end, three independent ontologies accessible on the World-Wide Web (http://www.geneontology.org) are being constructed: biological process, molecular function and cellular component.

              clusterProfiler: an R package for comparing biological themes among gene clusters.

              Increasing quantitative data generated from transcriptomics and proteomics require integrative strategies for analysis. Here, we present an R package, clusterProfiler that automates the process of biological-term classification and the enrichment analysis of gene clusters. The analysis module and visualization module were combined into a reusable workflow. Currently, clusterProfiler supports three species, including humans, mice, and yeast. Methods provided in this package can be easily extended to other species and ontologies. The clusterProfiler package is released under Artistic-2.0 License within Bioconductor project. The source code and vignette are freely available at http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/clusterProfiler.html.
