The clinical features, prognostic significance, and immune heterogeneity of CD37 in diffuse gliomas

ABSTRACT: Summary Diffuse glioma is the most prevalent and malignant brain tumor. The function and significance of CD37 in diffuse gliomas remain largely unknown. Here, we showed CD37 was abnormally expressed in diverse cancers, especially glioma by pan-cancer differential expression analysis. In addition, we found CD37 was upregulated in higher grade and IDH or IDH1-wildtype gliomas, which was further validated by qPCR and IHC. Survival analysis revealed CD37 served as an independent indicator for unfavorable prognosis of patients with diffuse gliomas. Functional enrichment analysis revealed CD37 was associated with immunological processes. Moreover, immune infiltration analyses suggested gliomas with high-expression CD37 had greater infiltration of M2 macrophages and neutrophils, and lower NK cell abundance. CD37 was closely correlated to immune checkpoint molecules, including CD276, CD80, CD86, and PD-L2. Our results indicated CD37 is an independent prognostic factor and plays an immunosuppressive role in diffuse gliomas. Targeting CD37 could be a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for diffuse gliomas.

Characterization and prognostic significance of alternative splicing events in lower-grade diffuse gliomas.

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is assumed to play important roles in the progression and prognosis of cancer. Currently, the comprehensive analysis and clinical relevance of AS in lower-grade diffuse gliomas have not been systematically addressed. Here, we gathered alternative splicing data of lower-grade diffuse gliomas from SpliceSeq. Based on the Percent Spliced In (PSI) values of 515 lower-grade diffuse glioma patients from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we performed subtype-differential AS analysis and consensus clustering to determine robust clusters of patients. A total of 48 050 AS events in 10 787 genes in lower-grade diffuse gliomas were profiled. Subtype-differential splicing analysis and functional annotation revealed that spliced genes were significantly enriched in numerous cancer-related biological phenotypes and signalling pathways. Consensus clustering using AS events identified three robust clusters of patients with distinguished pathological and prognostic features. Moreover, each cluster was also associated with distinct genomic alterations. Finally, we developed and validated an AS-related signature with Cox proportional hazards model. The signature, significantly associated with clinical and molecular features, could serve as an independent prognostic factor for lower-grade diffuse gliomas. Thus, our results indicated that AS events could discriminate molecular subtypes and have prognostic impact in lower-grade diffuse gliomas.

Clinical Features and Prognostic Significance of <i>NOTCH1</i> Mutations in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous group of large lymphoid B cell malignancy with distinct clinical and genetic features. Recently, NOTCH1 mutations were identified in DLBCL cases by Next-generation sequencing (NGS), but the clinical features and prognostic impact were not systematically studied. Here, NOTCH1 genes in 161 DLBCL samples were sequenced by NGS. The prognostic value of NOTCH1 mutations was assessed in the context of clinical and laboratory factors, such as international prognostic index (IPI), cell-of-origin classification, double expression of BCL2 and c-MYC. The combined data from three Western cohorts were used to validate these results. As a result, NOTCH1 mutations were found in 17(10.6%) patients, and three patients had a hotspot mutation of c.7541_7542delCT. The presence of NOTCH1 mutations was significantly associated with poor complete response and progression free survival(PFS), which was independent of established clinical and laboratory parameters. In addition, 30 (1.92%) of 1562 patients treated with R-CHOP regimen in those combined Western cohorts had NOTCH1 mutations. Meta-analysis of the Western cohorts confirmed that NOTCH1 mutations were also associated with poor PFS and OS. In conclusion, DLBCL patients with the NOTCH1 mutations have worse PFS and OS, and the NOTCH1 mutations can be used as an independent predictor for patients with DLBCL.

Beyond IDH-Mutation: Emerging Molecular Diagnostic and Prognostic Features in Adult Diffuse Gliomas.

Project description:Diffuse gliomas are among the most common adult central nervous system tumors with an annual incidence of more than 16,000 cases in the United States. Until very recently, the diagnosis of these tumors was based solely on morphologic features, however, with the publication of the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System, revised 4th edition in 2016, certain molecular features are now included in the official diagnostic and grading system. One of the most significant of these changes has been the division of adult astrocytomas into IDH-wildtype and IDH-mutant categories in addition to histologic grade as part of the main-line diagnosis, although a great deal of heterogeneity in the clinical outcome still remains to be explained within these categories. Since then, numerous groups have been working to identify additional biomarkers and prognostic factors in diffuse gliomas to help further stratify these tumors in hopes of producing a more complete grading system, as well as understanding the underlying biology that results in differing outcomes. The field of neuro-oncology is currently in the midst of a "molecular revolution" in which increasing emphasis is being placed on genetic and epigenetic features driving current diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive considerations. In this review, we focus on recent advances in adult diffuse glioma biomarkers and prognostic factors and summarize the state of the field.

TRIM6: An Upregulated Biomarker with Prognostic Significance and Immune Correlations in Gliomas.

Project description:This study investigates the expression and prognostic value of TRIM6 in gliomas, the most prevalent primary brain and spinal cord tumors. Our results show that TRIM6 is predominantly overexpressed in glioma tissues and is associated with reduced overall survival, disease-specific survival, and progression-free interval. Furthermore, TRIM6 expression is correlated with WHO grade and primary treatment outcomes. Functional analysis indicates that interactions between cytokines and their receptors play a critical role in the prognosis of glioma patients. A protein-protein interaction network reveals 10 hub genes closely linked to cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. In vitro experiments demonstrate that silencing TRIM6 impairs the proliferation, invasion, and migration of glioma cells, while overexpressing TRIM6 enhances these abilities. Additionally, TRIM6 expression is positively associated with the abundance of innate immune cells and negatively associated with the abundance of adaptive immune cells. In summary, TRIM6 is significantly upregulated in gliomas and linked to poor prognosis, making it a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. TRIM6 plays a crucial role in promoting cell viability, clonogenic potential, migration, and invasion in glioma cells. It may regulate glioma progression by modulating cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, leading to an inflammatory response and an imbalance in immunomodulation, thereby representing a potential therapeutic target.

Spatially-resolved transcriptomics reveal macrophage heterogeneity and prognostic significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Project description:Macrophages are abundant immune cells in the microenvironment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Macrophage phenotyping by immunohistochemistry has varying prognostic significance across studies in DLBCL and does not provide a comprehensive analysis of macrophage subtypes. We hypothesized that whole-transcriptomic analysis (WTA) of macrophage in-situ would identify new macrophage subsets of biological and clinical significances.

Clinical characterization, genetic profiling, and immune infiltration of TOX in diffuse gliomas.

Project description:BackgroundImmunotherapies targeting glioblastoma (GBM) have led to significant improvements in patient outcomes. TOX is closely associated with the immune environment surrounding tumors, but its role in gliomas is not fully understood.MethodsUsing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), we analyzed the transcriptomes of 1691 WHO grade I-IV human glioma samples. The R language was used to perform most of the statistical analyses. Somatic mutations and somatic copy number variation (CNV) were analyzed using GISTIC 2.0.ResultsTOX was down-regulated in malignant gliomas compared to low grade gliomas, and upregulated in the proneural and IDH mutant subtypes of GBM. TOXlow tumours are associated with the loss of PTEN and amplification of EGFR, while TOXhigh tumours harbor frequent mutations in IDH1 (91%). TOX was highly expressed in leading edge regions of tumours. Gene ontology and pathway analyses demonstrated that TOX was enriched in multiple immune related processes including lymphocyte migration in GBM. Finally, TOX had a negative association with the infiltration of several immune cell types in the tumour microenvironment.ConclusionTOX has the potential to be a new prognostic marker for GBM.

Integrated analyses reveal two molecularly and clinically distinct subtypes of H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline gliomas with prognostic significance

Project description:We identified two subgroups of diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) with unsupervised hierarchical cluster analyses of DNA methylation data from 149 DMGs derived from different localisations: DMG-A and DMG-B. The two epigenetic DMG-subtypes have different characteristics: DMG-A are enriched for cases with MAPK-signalling-pathway associated mutations, a methylated MGMT-promoter, medullary localisation and adult age, while DMG-B are enriched for cases with TP53-mutations, PDGFRA-amplifications, pontine localisation and paediatric patients. DMG-A have a significantly better overall survival compared to DMG-B (p < 0.001). This effect on survival is larger than that of all other parameters tested, and all other parameters are dependent on the cluster attribution. Hence, the subtype attribution based on two methylation clusters is best suited to predict survival as it integrates different molecular and clinical parameters.

Comprehensive analysis of a TNF family based-signature in diffuse gliomas with regard to prognosis and immune significance.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family play an important role in cancer immunoregulation, and trials targeting these molecules are already underway. Our study aimed to integrate and analyze the expression patterns and clinical significance of TNF family-related genes in gliomas.MethodsA total of 1749 gliomas from 4 datasets were enrolled in our study, including the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset as the training cohort and the other three datasets (CGGA, GSE16011, and Rembrandt) as validation cohorts. Clinical information, RNA expression data, and genomic profile were collected for analysis. We screened the signature gene set by Cox proportional hazards modelling. We evaluated the prognostic value of the signature by Kaplan-Meier analysis and timeROC curve. Gene Ontology (GO) and Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) analysis were performed for functional annotation. CIBERSORT algorithm and inflammatory metagenes were used to reveal immune characteristics.ResultsIn gliomas, the expression of most TNF family members was positively correlated. Univariate analysis showed that most TNF family members were related to the overall survival of patients. Then through the LASSO regression model, we developed a TNF family-based signature, which was related to clinical, molecular, and genetic characteristics of patients with glioma. Moreover, the signature was found to be an independent prognostic marker through survival curve analysis and Cox regression analysis. Furthermore, a nomogram prognostic model was constructed to predict individual survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years. Functional annotation analysis revealed that the immune and inflammatory response pathways were enriched in the high-risk group. Immunological analysis showed the immunosuppressive status in the high-risk group.ConclusionsWe developed a TNF family-based signature to predict the prognosis of patients with glioma.

Differential and Prognostic Significance of HOXB7 in Gliomas.

Project description:Diffuse glioma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system. The prognosis of the individual tumor is heavily dependent on its grade and subtype. Homeobox B7 (HOXB7), a member of the homeobox family, is abnormally overexpressed in a variety of tumors. However, its function in glioma is unclear. In this study, HOXB7 mRNA and protein expression levels were analyzed in 401 gliomas from the CGGA RNA-seq database (325 cases) and our hospital (76 cases). HOXB7 expression, at both mRNA and protein levels, were upregulated in glioblastoma (GBM) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) wild-type glioma tissues. Kaplan-Meier with log-rank test showed that patients with high HOXB7 expression had a poor prognosis (p < 0.0001). Moreover, HOXB7 protein was deleted in 90.9% (20/22) of oligodendrogliomas and 13.0% (3/23) of astrocytomas. The sensitivity and specificity of HOXB7 protein deletion in oligodendroglioma were 90.9% (20/22) and 87.0% (20/23), respectively. To verify the reliability of using HOXB7 in differentiating oligodendroglioma, we used 1p/19q fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing as a positive control. The Cohen's kappa coefficient of HOXB7 immunohistochemistry staining and 1p/19q FISH testing was 0.778 (95% CI: 0.594-0.962, p < 0.001). In conclusion, HOXB7 is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in all grade gliomas. Additionally, HOXB7 is also a highly sensitive and specific indicator to differentiate oligodendroglioma from astrocytoma.

Clinical, pathological, and radiological features of 80 pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas: A single-institute study.

Project description:ObjectiveDiffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are rare but devastating diseases. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of DIPGs.Materials and methodsThe clinical data of 80 pediatric DIPGs under clinical treatment in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from July 2013 to July 2019 were retrospectively collected and studied. A follow-up evaluation was performed.ResultsThis study included 48 men and 32 women. The most common symptoms were cranial nerve palsy (50.0%, 40/80 patients) and limb weakness (41.2%, 33/80 patients). Among the 80 patients, 24 cases were clinically diagnosed, 56 cases were pathologically verified, and 45 cases were tested for H3K27 alteration status, with 34 H3K27 alteration cases confirmed. Radiological results indicated that enhancement was common (65.0%, 52/80 patients). Cho/Cr was of predictive value for H3K27 alteration status (P = 0.012, cutoff value = 2.38, AUC = 0.801). Open cranial surgery followed by further chemotherapy and radiotherapy was beneficial for patients' overall survival. Cox regression analysis indicated H3K27 alteration to be the independent prognostic influencing factor for DIPGs in this series (P = 0.002).ConclusionDIPGs displayed a wide spectrum of clinical and imaging features. Surgery-suitable patients could benefit from postoperative comprehensive therapy for a better overall survival. H3K27 alteration was the independent prognostic influencing factor for DIPGs.
