Abstract
Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis- (ADCP-) related regulators (PRs) have been confirmed an important role in immunotherapy. However, the characterization of specific PRs in low-grade glioma (LGG) has not been comprehensively explored. In this study, we retrieved RNA-seq and CRISPR-Cas9 data to identify specific PRs in LGG patients and constructed a PRs-signature using the LASSO-Cox algorithm. The ROC analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that PRs-signature had a good predictive effect, and the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PRs-risk scores were independent prognostic factors correlated with overall survival (OS). In addition, CIBERSORT, ssGSEA, and MCP counter algorithms were used to explore immune cell content in different risk groups, especially in the correlation between macrophages and specific PRs. Finally, mRNA expression was upregulated in the high-risk group compared with the low-risk group at most immune checkpoints and proinflammatory factors. In conclusion, we constructed a prediction model for prognostic management and revealed the cross-talk between specific PRs and immunotherapy in LGG patients.
