ABSTRACT
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common brain tumor with a complex and diverse tumor microenvironment (TME). As PTEN mutation is the most common mutation in GBM, we aimed to investigate how PTEN mutation regulates the immune response in GBM TME and thus affects the prognosis of GBM patients. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of multiple levels of data, including whole-exome sequencing (WES), transcriptome RNA sequencing, patient survival and immune signatures, to study the relationship between PTEN mutation and TME in GBM. We developed an immune-related prognostic signature (IPS) based on the PTEN-associated immune-related genes (IRGs), and the IPS exhibited a powerful prognosis prediction capacity in different GBM cohorts. A scoring nomogram based on the IPS was also established for clinical application. In addition, the correlations of the IPS with tumor immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoints were systematically analyzed. This study illustrates the influence of PTEN mutation on the immune microenvironment of GBM. Our IPS, which is sensitive to PTEN mutation status, can enhance the prognosis prediction ability for GBM patients and provides potential targets for immunotherapy.
