A novel multidimensional signature predicts prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients

The abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) or protein‐coding genes (PCGs) have been found to be associated with the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Using bioinformatics analysis methods including Cox’s proportional hazards regression analysis, the random survival forest algo...

Description
Summary:The abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) or protein‐coding genes (PCGs) have been found to be associated with the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Using bioinformatics analysis methods including Cox’s proportional hazards regression analysis, the random survival forest algorithm, Kaplan–Meier, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, we mined the gene expression profiles of 469 HCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 379) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE14520; n = 90) public database. We selected a signature comprising one protein‐coding gene (PCG; DNA polymerase μ) and three miRNAs (hsa‐miR‐149‐5p, hsa‐miR‐424‐5p, hsa‐miR‐579‐5p) with highest accurate prediction (area under the ROC curve [AUC] = 0.72; n = 189) from the training data set. The signature stratified patients into high‐ and low‐risk groups with significantly different survival (median 27.9 vs. 55.2 months, log‐rank test, p
