摘要

Metastasis remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, yet predicting future metastasis is a major clinical challenge due to the lack of validated biomarkers and effective assessment methods. Here, we present EmitGCL, a deep-learning framework that accurately predicts future metastasis and its corresponding biomarkers. Based on a comprehensive benchmarking comparison, EmitGCL outperforms other computational tools across six cancer types from seven cohorts of patients with superior sensitivity and specificity. It captures occult metastatic cells in a patient with a lymph node-negative breast cancer, who was declared to have no evidence of disease by conventional imaging methods but was later confirmed to have metastatic disease. Notably, EmitGCL identifies HSP90AA1 and HSP90AB1 as predictable biomarkers for future breast cancer metastasis, which we validate by in-vitro pharmacological inhibition of HSP90 that reduced breast cancer cell migration and further support across five independent cohorts of patients (n = 420). Furthermore, we demonstrate YY1 transcription factor as a key driver of breast cancer metastasis, which we corroborate with in-silico, CRISPR-based migration assays, and in vivo mouse lung colonization experiments, suggesting that YY1 is a potential therapeutic target for further investigation.
