GO:0099541Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~7 member genes
Q-omics provides the Trans-synaptic signaling by lipid (GO:0099541) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 7 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in BLCA. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 12, with the highest sampling consensus in UCEC. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 34,118 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in STAD. Together, these results highlight BLCA, UCEC, and STAD as cancer lineages where the pathway shows reproducible signals across outcome, tissue activity, and molecular association analyses.
Every result is evaluated using two consensus scores. Sampling consensus measures how consistently a finding is reproduced within a cancer lineage across different conditions. Lineage consensus measures how broadly the result is shared across cancer types, distinguishing pan-cancer signals from lineage-specific patterns. Pathway-against-pathway and pathway-against-mutation comparisons are not available for ontology entities.
Survival associations
This table summarizes Trans-synaptic signaling by lipid survival associations by molecular data type. RNA-level pathway activity shows survival associations in the most cancer types (23). The rightmost column indicates the cancer type with the highest sampling consensus for each layer.
This table ranks reproducible pathway activity–survival associations across cancer types. High Trans-synaptic signaling by lipid activity shows favorable associations in PRAD, but unfavorable associations in BLCA, SCLC, CHOL, LGG and LUAD. In the BLCA Kaplan–Meier curve the high-activity group declines faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). BLCA ranks highest by sampling consensus for Trans-synaptic signaling by lipid.
This table summarizes Trans-synaptic signaling by lipid tumor–normal activity differences by data type. RNA-level activity shows significant tumor–normal differences in 12 cancer types, while mass-spec protein activity shows differences in 2. The strongest signals are in UCEC for RNA and LSCC for protein.
This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal activity differences for the pathway. A positive fold-change indicates higher activity in tumor tissue. The pathway shows higher tumor activity across UCEC, BLCA, THCA and COAD and lower tumor activity in BRCA and LUAD. In the UCEC box plot, tumor samples show higher pathway activity than matched normal samples (log2 FC = +0.069, t-test p < 0.001).
This table shows molecular features associated with Trans-synaptic signaling by lipid pathway activity in patient tissues and cancer cell lines. In patient samples, pathway activity is most strongly linked to RNA and protein features, with the largest associated set in STAD. In cancer cell lines, RNA-expression features and functional dependencies dominate, with the largest set in KIDNEY.
