基于TCGA数据库挖掘恶性脑胶质瘤乏氧与免疫微环境相关预后价值基因

    Mining Prognostic Value Genes Related to Hypoxia and Immune Microenvironment in Malignant Glioma Based on TCGA Database

    • 摘要: 目的 挖掘恶性脑胶质瘤中与乏氧诱导因子-1α(hypoxia inducible factor-1α,HIF-1α)表达存在相关性的免疫通路或基因,并进一步分析其对脑胶质瘤预后的影响。方法 从肿瘤基因组图谱(the cancer genome atlas,TCGA)数据库提取脑胶质瘤HIF-1α基因表达谱数据,采用R语言分析HIF-1α基因与其他基因之间的相关性,通过GO和KEGG数据库对差异表达基因进行功能注释,包括细胞组分、生物学过程、分子功能及相关信号通路。并采集了74例人脑胶质瘤组织进一步验证分析。结果 TCGA数据库中共收集到169例脑胶质瘤患者的数据,其中与HIF-1α基因有相关性的基因有455个。对455个满足条件的相关性基因进行GO和Pathway富集分析,共得到66个KEGG Pathway;最终发现基因TNFRSF1α的P值具有统计差异。进一步对比分析TCGA数据库169例脑胶质瘤患者与529例非肿瘤患者数据中TNFRSF1α表达的情况。结果 提示TNFRSF1α与HIF-1α在脑胶质瘤组织中显著高于癌旁组织。且人脑胶质瘤组织TNFRSF1α表达水平与胶质瘤的病理分级正相关。结论 KEGG通路发现TNFRSF1α基因与乏氧有关,提示TNFRSF1α基因可能与乏氧共同影响脑胶质瘤患者的预后。

       

      Abstract: OBJECTIVE To mining the immune pathways or genes related to the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in malignant glioma, and to further analyze its influence on the prognosis of glioma. METHODS Extracted the HIF-1α gene expression profile data of glioma from the cancer genome atlas(TCGA) database, used R language to analyze the correlation between HIF-1α gene and other genes, and used GO and KEGG databases Annotate the functions of differentially expressed genes, including cell components, biological processes, molecular functions and related signal pathways. And 74 cases of human glioma tissues were collected for further verification and analysis. RESULTS A total of 169 patients with glioma were collected in the TCGA database, of which 455 genes were related to the HIF-1α gene. GO and Pathway enrichment analysis was performed on 455 related genes that met the conditions, and a total of 66 KEGG Pathway were obtained; finally, the P value of gene TNFRSF1α was found to meet the screening conditions. Further compared and analyzed the expression of TNFRSF1α in the data of 169 glioma patients and 529 non-tumor patients in the TCGA database. The results suggested that TNFRSF1α and HIF-1α were significantly higher in glioma tissues than in adjacent tissues. And the expression level of TNFRSF1α in human glioma tissue was positively correlated with the pathological grade of glioma. CONCLUSION KEGG pathway find that TNFRSF1α gene is related to hypoxia, suggesting that TNFRSF1α gene and hypoxia may affect the prognosis of patients with glioma.
