Article Abstract

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most challenging malignancies in all of neoplasms. These malignancies are associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes and significantly compromised patient wellbeing. The immunological landscape within the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in determining GBM prognosis. By mining data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases and correlating them with immune responses in the TME, genes associated with the immune microenvironment with potential prognostic value were obtained. Method We selected GSE16011 as the training set. Gene expression profiles were substrates scored by both ESTIMATE and xCell, and immune cell subpopulations in GBM were analyzed by CIBERSORT. Gene expression profiles associated with low immune scores were performed by lasso regression, Cox analysis and random forest (RF) to identify a prognostic model for the multiple genes associated with immune infiltration in GBM. Then we constructed a nomogram to optimize the prognostic model using GSE7696 and TCGA-GBM as validation sets and evaluated these data for gene mutation and gene enrichment analysis.

Result: The prognostic correlation between the six genes , , , , and and GBM was finally found by lasso regression, Cox regression, and RF, and the online database obtained that all six genes were differentially expressed in GBM. Therefore, a prognostic correlation model was constructed based on the six genes. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis showed that this prognostic model had excellent prognostic ability.

Conclusions: Prognostic models based on tumor microenvironment and immune score stratification and the construction of related genes have potential applications for prognostic analysis of GBM patients.

Background/aims: Ubiquitin D (UBD), a member of the ubiquitin-like modifier (UBL) family, is significantly overexpressed in various cancers and is positively correlated with tumor progression. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of UBD in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UBD knockdown on the progression of RA.

Objectives: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with poor prognosis, with 30% of patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Mutations in the and genes are important prognostic factors for NSCLC, and targeted therapies can significantly improve survival in these patients. Although tissue biopsy remains the gold standard for detecting gene mutations, it has limitations, including invasiveness, sampling errors due to tumor heterogeneity, and poor reproducibility.

Objectives: To study the impact of SURF4 expression level on long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) and biological behaviors of GC cells.

Methods: SURF4 expression level in GC and its association with long-term patient prognosis were analyzed using publicly available databases and in 155 GC patients with low and high SURF4 expressions detected immunohistochemically. The Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze independent prognostic predictors of GC and the 5-year survival rate of the patients with different SURF4 expression levels.

Objectives: To identify immunosuppressive neutrophil subsets in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and construct a risk prediction model for prognosis and immunotherapy response of the patients based on these neutrophil subsets.

Methods: Single-cell and transcriptome data from PCa patients were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Neutrophil subsets in PCa were identified through unsupervised clustering, and their biological functions and effects on immune regulation were analyzed by functional enrichment, cell interaction, and pseudo-time series analyses.

Background: Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare disease characterized by excessive bleeding, oculocutaneous albinism, and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). However, few studies have systematically summarized the clinical characteristics of HPS.

Objectives: To summarize the clinical characteristics, risk factors of PF, radiological and pathological presentations, and prognostic factors in patients with HPS.
