Positive regulation of response to endoplasmic reticulum stress

associated omics data
GO:1905898Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~36 member genes

Q-omics provides the Positive regulation of response to endoplasmic reticulum stress (GO:1905898) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 36 member genes. Pathway activity is associated with patient survival in 23 of 34 cancer types, with the highest sampling consensus in HNSC. Among the 18 cancer types available for tumor–normal comparison, the pathway is differentially active in 10, with the highest sampling consensus in LUSC. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 36,788 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in STAD. Together, these results highlight HNSC, LUSC, 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 Positive regulation of response to endoplasmic reticulum stress 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 Positive regulation of response to endoplasmic reticulum stress activity shows favorable associations in HNSC, LUAD, UCS and READ, but unfavorable associations in CESC and KIRP. In the HNSC Kaplan–Meier curve the low-activity group declines faster, consistent with the favorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). HNSC ranks highest by sampling consensus for Positive regulation of response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.

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 KIRC and STAD and lower tumor activity in LUSC, COAD, BRCA and THCA. In the LUSC box plot, normal samples show higher pathway activity than tumor samples (log2 FC = −0.045, t-test p < 0.001).
