Positive regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity

associated omics data
GO:2000481Ontology (GO BP)GO biological process · ~5 member genes

Q-omics provides the Positive regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity (GO:2000481) pathway profile, scoring each patient from the combined activity of its roughly 5 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 12, with the highest sampling consensus in LUAD. Additionally, pathway RNA activity shows 34,317 significant cross-omics associations, again with the highest sampling consensus in PRAD. Together, these results highlight UVM, LUAD, and PRAD 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 cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity 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 Positive regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity activity shows favorable associations in UVM, KIRC, LIHC, ACC and LGG, but unfavorable associations in PCPG. In the UVM Kaplan–Meier curve the low-activity group declines faster, consistent with the favorable association (log-rank p < 0.001). UVM ranks highest by sampling consensus for Positive regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity.

Tumor vs Normal activity

This table summarizes Positive regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity 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 5. The strongest signals are in LUAD for RNA and CCRCC 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 KICH and COAD and lower tumor activity in LUAD, LUSC, BRCA and LIHC. In the LUAD box plot, normal samples show higher pathway activity than tumor samples (log2 FC = −0.198, t-test p < 0.001).

Cross-omics associations

This table shows molecular features associated with Positive regulation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity 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 PRAD. In cancer cell lines, RNA-expression features and functional dependencies dominate, with the largest set in BLOOD_Myeloma.
