In bladder cancer, clinical grade and stage fail to capture outcome. We developed a clinically applicable quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) gene signature to predict progression in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Comparative meta-profiling of twelve DNA microarray datasets (comprising 631 samples, 241,298 probe-sets) identified 96 genes which demonstrated differential expression in seven clinical outcome categories, or were identified as outliers, historic markers, or housekeeping genes. QPCR was performed to determine messenger RNA (mRNA) expression from 96 bladder tumors. 57 genes differentiated T2 from non-T2 tumors (p<0.05). Principal components analysis and Cox regression models were used to predict probability of T2 progression for non-T2 patients, placing them into high- and low-risk groups based on their gene expression. At two years, high-risk patients exhibited greater T2 progression (45% for high-risk patients vs. 12% for low-risk patients, p = 0.003, log-rank test). This difference remained significant within T1 (61% for high-risk vs. 22% for low-risk, p =0.02) and Ta tumors (29% for high-risk vs. 0% for low-risk, p=0.03). The best multivariate Cox model included stage and gender, and this signature provided predictive improvement over both (p=0.002, likelihood ratio test). Immunohistochemistry was performed for two genes in the signature not previously described in bladder cancer, ACTN1 (actinin) and CDC25B (cell division cycle 25B), corroborating their up-regulation at the protein level with disease progression. Thus, we identified a 57-gene QPCR panel to help predict progression of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers and delineate a systematic, generalizable approach to converting microarray data into a multiplex assay for cancer progression.
