Abstract

Abstract Background Bladder cancer is an epidemic and life-threating urologic carcinoma. Anoikis is a unusual type of programmed cell death which plays a vital role in tumor survival, invasion and metastasis. Nevertheless, the relationship between anoikis and bladder cancer has not been understood thoroughly. Methods We downloaded the transcriptome and clinical information of BLCA patients from TCGA and GEO databases. Then, we analyzed different expression of anoikis-related genes and established a prognostic model based on TCGA database by univariate Cox regression, lasso regression, and multivariate Cox regression. Then the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed. GEO database was used for external validation. BLCA patients in TCGA database were divided into two subgroups by non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) classification. Survival analysis, different gene expression, immune cell infiltration and drug sensitivity were calculated. Finally, we verified the function of S100A7 in two BLCA cell lines. Results We developed a prognostic risk model based on three anoikis-related genes including TPM1, RAC3 and S100A7. The overall survival of BLCA patients in low-risk groups was significantly better than high-risk groups in training sets, test sets and external validation sets. Subsequently, the checkpoint and immune cell infiltration had significant difference between two groups. Then we identified two subtypes (CA and CB) through NMF analysis and found CA had better OS and PFS than CB. Besides, the accuracy of risk model was verified by ROC analysis. Finally, we identified that knocking down S100A7 gene expression restrained the proliferation and invasion of bladder cancer cells. Conclusion We established and validated a bladder cancer prognostic model consisting of three genes, which can effectively evaluate the prognosis of bladder cancer patients. Additionally, through cellular experiments, we demonstrated the significant role of S100A7 in the metastasis and invasion of bladder cancer, suggesting its potential as a novel target for future treatments.
