DataSheet_1_Comprehensive analysis of TP53 and SPOP mutations and their impact on survival in metastatic prostate cancer.docx

BackgroundAlthough TP53 and SPOP are frequently mutated in metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), their prognostic value is ambiguous, and large sample studies are lacking, especially when they co-occur with other genetic alterations.MethodsGenomic data and patients’ clinical characteristics in PCa were downloaded from the cBioPortal database. We extensively analyzed other gene alterations in different mutation status of TP53 and SPOP. We further subdivided TP53 and SPOP mutation into subgroups based on different mutation status, and then evaluated the prognostic value. Two classification systems for TP53 survival analysis were used.ResultsA total of 2,172 patients with PCa were analyzed in our study, of which 1,799 were metastatic PCa patients. The mutual exclusivity analysis showed that TP53 and SPOP mutation has a strong mutual exclusion (pConclusionsThis study found that TP53 and SPOP mutations were mutually exclusive and both were independent prognostic markers for metastatic PCa. Genomic alteration and survival analysis revealed that TP53 and SPOP mutations represented distinct molecular subtypes. Our data suggest that molecular stratification on the basis of TP53 and SPOP mutation status should be implemented for metastatic PCa to optimize and modify clinical decision-making.
