ABSTRACT
Glioma is the most common and aggressive type of primary brain malignant tumor with limited treatment approaches. Methyltransferase-like 7B (METTL7B) is associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases but is rarely studied in glioma. In this study, 1,493 glioma samples (data from our cohort, TCGA, and CGGA) expressing METTL7B were used to explore its prognostic value and mechanism in the immune microenvironment. Results showed that high expression of METTL7B is associated with poor prognosis and abundant immunosuppressive cells. Further, functional enrichment showed that METTL7B is involved in the negative regulation of immunity and carcinogenic signaling pathways. Moreover, a METTL7B-related prognostic signature constructed based on multi-omics showed a good prediction of the overall survival (OS) time of glioma patients. In conclusion, METTL7B is a potential prognostic biomarker. In addition, the prognostic prediction model constructed in this study can be used in clinical setups for the development of novel effective therapeutic strategies for glioma patients and improving overall survival.
