Differences of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment as an underlying key factor in glioma patients
BACKGROUND: Macrophages, the major immune cells in glioma microenvironment, are closely related to tumor prognosis. Further studies are needed to investigate macrophages, which will be helpful to fully understand the role of it and early achieve clinical translation. METHODS: A total of 1334 glioma...

description | BACKGROUND: Macrophages, the major immune cells in glioma microenvironment, are closely related to tumor prognosis. Further studies are needed to investigate macrophages, which will be helpful to fully understand the role of it and early achieve clinical translation. METHODS: A total of 1334 glioma cases were enrolled in this study from 3 databases. In our works, the single cell cohorts from GSE89567, GSE84465, and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) datasets were used to analyze the key genes of macrophage. The bulk sequencing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and CGGA datasets were respectively divided into the training set and validation set to test prognostic value of the key genes from single cell analysis. RESULTS: Quantitative and functional differences significantly emerge in macrophage clusters between LGG and GBM. Firstly, we used the Seurat R package to identify 281 genes differentially expressed genes in macrophage clusters between LGG and GBM. Furthermore, based on these genes, we developed a predictive risk model to predict prognosis and reflect the immune microenvironment in glioma. The risk score calculation formula was yielded as follows: Risk score = (0.11 × EXP(MACC1)) + (−0.31 × EXP(OTUD1)) + (−0.09 × EXP(TCHH)) + (0.26 × EXP(ADPRH)) + (-0.40× EXP(ABCG2)) + (0.21 × EXP(PLBD1)) + (0.12 × EXP(ANG)) + (0.29 × EXP(QPCT)). The risk score was independently related to prognosis. Further, significant differences existed in immunological characteristics between the low- and high-risk score groups. What is more, mutation analysis found different genomic patterns associated with the risk score. CONCLUSION: This study further confirms that the proportion of macrophage infiltration is not only significantly different, but the function of them is also different. The signature, identified from the differentially expressed macrophage-related genes impacts poor prognosis and short overall survival and may act as therapeutic targets in the future. |
