Positive regulation of proteoglycan biosynthetic process

associated omics data
GO:1902730Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~5 member genes

Q-omics provides the Positive regulation of proteoglycan biosynthetic process (GO:1902730) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 5 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 24 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in MESO. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 11, with the highest sampling consensus in BLCA. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 34,947 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Together, these results highlight MESO, BLCA, and HNSC 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 Positive regulation of proteoglycan biosynthetic process survival associations by molecular data type. RNA-level pathway activity shows survival associations in the most cancer types (24). 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 Positive regulation of proteoglycan biosynthetic process activity shows favorable associations in HNSC and UCS, but unfavorable associations in MESO, LGG, ACC and PAAD. In the MESO Kaplan–Meier curve the high-activity group declines faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p = .007). MESO ranks highest by sampling consensus for Positive regulation of proteoglycan biosynthetic process.

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 BLCA, COAD, LUSC and LUAD and lower tumor activity in KICH and LIHC. In the BLCA box plot, tumor samples show higher pathway activity than matched normal samples (log2 FC = +0.189, t-test p < 0.001).
