A combined signature of glycolysis and immune landscape predicts prognosis and therapeutic response in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common malignancy that poses a major threat to the health of men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and its derivatives, as FDA-approved detection assays, are insufficient to serve as optimal markers for patient prognosis and clinical decision-making. It is widely acknowledg...

Sumario: | Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common malignancy that poses a major threat to the health of men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and its derivatives, as FDA-approved detection assays, are insufficient to serve as optimal markers for patient prognosis and clinical decision-making. It is widely acknowledged that aberrant glycolytic metabolism in PCa is related to tumor progression and acidifies the tumor microenvironment (TME). Considering the non-negligible impacts of glycolysis and immune functions on PCa, we developed a combined classifier in prostate cancer. The Glycolysis Score containing 19 genes and TME Score including three immune cells were created, using the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, log-rank test, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and the bootstrap approach. Combining the glycolysis and immunological landscape, the Glycolysis-TME Classifier was then constructed. It was observed that the classifier was more accurate in predicting the prognosis of patients than the current biomarkers. Notably, there were significant differences in metabolic activity, signaling pathways, mutational landscape, immunotherapeutic response, and drug sensitivity among the Glycolysis(high)/TME(low), Mixed group and Glycolysis(low)/TME(high) identified by this classifier. Overall, due to the significant prognostic value and potential therapeutic guidance of the Glycolysis-TME Classifier, we anticipate that this classifier will be clinically beneficial in the management of patients with PCa. |
