Identification of a Two-Gene Signature and Establishment of a Prognostic Nomogram Predicting Overall Survival in Diffuse-Type Gastric Cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: It is widely acknowledged that the molecular biological characteristics of diffuse-type gastric cancer are different from intestinal-type gastric cancer. Notwithstanding that significant progress in high-throughput sequencing technology has been made, there is a paucity of effective prognostic biomarkers for diffuse gastric cancer for clinical practice. METHODS: We downloaded four GEO datasets (GSE22377, GSE38749, GSE47007 and GSE62254) to establish and validate a prognostic two-gene signature for diffuse gastric cancer. The TGCA-STAD dataset was used for external validation. The optimal gene signature was established by using Cox regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methodology was used to find the best prognostic model. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to analyze the possible signaling pathways of the two genes (MEF2C and TRIM15). RESULTS: A total of four differently expressed genes (DEGs) (two upregulated and two downregulated) were identified. After a comprehensive analysis, two DEGs (MEF2C and TRIM15) were utilized to construct a prognostic model. A prognostic prediction model was constructed according to T stage, N stage, M stage and the expression of MEF2C and TRIM15. The area under the time-dependent receiver operator characteristic was used to evaluate the performance of the prognosis model in the GSE62254 dataset. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that MEF2C and TRIM15 might be key genes. We also established a prognostic nomogram based on the two-gene signature that yielded a good performance for predicting overall survival in diffuse-type gastric cancer.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
