Abstract
Objective: This study aims to construct a prognostic model based on the different immune infiltration statuses of the glioma samples.
Methods: Glioma-associated dataset was assessed from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to classify the glioma samples. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis was introduced to the glioma samples for immune infiltration analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was applied to evaluate patients' prognoses. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different sample groups were screened using limma package. Univariate Cox, LASSO Cox, and multivariate Cox regression analyses were employed to construct the prognostic model. The prediction performance of the model was examined by plotting a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and GSEA was introduced to screen the differently activated pathways between high- and low-risk groups.
Results: The glioma samples were classified into 3 clusters where the different immune infiltration and survival statuses were presented among the clusters. 123 immune-related DEGs were screened from the differential expression analyses, and based on these DEGs, an 8-gene prognostic model was constructed. The ROC curve exhibited an optimal performance of the prognostic model, and GSEA showed that ECM-receptor interaction, complement and coagulation cascades, cytokine receptor pathways, and viral protein interaction with cytokine were differently activated between the two risk groups.
Conclusion: The current study screened an immune-associated gene set by classifying and differential analysis, followed by constructing an 8-gene prognostic model based on the screened genes.
期刊介绍:
The rapidly expanding area of research known as neuroimmunomodulation explores the way in which the nervous system interacts with the immune system via neural, hormonal, and paracrine actions. Encompassing both basic and clinical research, ''Neuroimmunomodulation'' reports on all aspects of these interactions. Basic investigations consider all neural and humoral networks from molecular genetics through cell regulation to integrative systems of the body. The journal also aims to clarify the basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the CNS pathology in AIDS patients and in various neurodegenerative diseases. Although primarily devoted to research articles, timely reviews are published on a regular basis.
