Regulation of cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus

associated omics data
GO:1903844Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~156 member genes

Q-omics provides the Regulation of cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus (GO:1903844) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 156 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 25 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in UVM. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 14, with the highest sampling consensus in KICH. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 36,728 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in STAD. Together, these results highlight UVM, KICH, 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 Regulation of cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus survival associations by molecular data type. RNA-level pathway activity shows survival associations in the most cancer types (25). 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 Regulation of cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus activity shows favorable associations in HNSC and SKCM, but unfavorable associations in UVM, BLCA, LGG and KIRP. In the UVM Kaplan–Meier curve the high-activity group declines faster, consistent with the unfavorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). UVM ranks highest by sampling consensus for Regulation of cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus.

This table ranks reproducible tumor–normal activity differences for the pathway. A positive fold-change indicates higher activity in tumor tissue. The pathway shows consistently lower tumor activity across KICH, LUAD, KIRP, LUSC, UCEC and BRCA. In the KICH box plot, normal samples show higher pathway activity than tumor samples (log2 FC = −0.076, t-test p < 0.001).
