ABSTRACT
Background:
Copper ions are essential for cellular physiology. Cuproptosis is a novel method of copper-dependent cell death, and the cuproptosis-based signature for glioma remains less studied.Methods:
Several glioma datasets with clinicopathological information were collected from TCGA, GEO and CGGA. Robust Multichip Average (RMA) algorithm was used for background correction and normalization, cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) were then collected. The TCGA-glioma cohort was clustered using ConsensusClusterPlus. Univariate Cox regression analysis and the Random Survival Forest model were performed on the differentially expressed genes to identify prognostic genes. The cuproptosis-signature was constructed by calculating CuproptosisScore using Multivariate Cox regression analysis. Differences in terms of genomic mutation, tumor microenvironment, and enrichment pathways were evaluated between high- or low-CuproptosisScore. Furthermore, drug response prediction was carried out utilizing pRRophetic.Results:
Two subclusters based on CRGs were identified. Patients in cluster2 had better clinical outcomes. The cuproptosis-signature was constructed based on CuproptosisScore. Patients with higher CuproptosisScore had higher WHO grades and worse prognosis, while patients with lower grades were more likely to develop IDH mutations or MGMT methylation. Univariate and Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated CuproptosisScore was an independent prognostic factor. The accuracy of the signature in prognostic prediction was further confirmed in 11 external validation datasets. In groups with high-CuproptosisScore, PIK3CA, MUC16, NF1, TTN, TP53, PTEN, and EGFR showed high mutation frequency. IDH1, TP53, ATRX, CIC, and FUBP1 demonstrated high mutation frequency in low-CuproptosisScore group. The level of immune infiltration increased as CuproptosisScore increased. SubMap analysis revealed patients with high-CuproptosisScore may respond to anti-PD-1 therapy. The IC50 values of Bexarotene, Bicalutamide, Bortezomib, and Cytarabine were lower in the high-CuproptosisScore group than those in the low-CuproptosisScore group. Finally, the importance of IGFBP2 in TCGA-glioma cohort was confirmed.Conclusion:
The current study revealed the novel cuproptosis-based signature might help predict the prognosis, biological features, and appropriate treatment for patients with glioma.Palabras clave
