Gene Expression Subtyping Reveals Immune alterations:TCGA Database for Prognosis in Ovarian Serous Cystadenocarcinoma.

Serous ovarian cancer is the most common and primary death type in ovarian cancer. In recent studies, tumor microenvironment and tumor immune infiltration significantly affect the prognosis of ovarian cancer. This study analyzed the four gene expression types of ovarian cancer in TCGA database to extract differentially expressed genes and verify the prognostic significance. Meanwhile, functional enrichment and protein interaction network analysis exposed that these genes were related to immune response and immune infiltration. Subsequently, we proved these prognostic genes in an independent data set from the GEO database. Finally, multivariate cox regression analysis revealed the prognostic significance of TAP1 and CXCL13. The genetic alteration and interaction network of these two genes were shown. Then, we established a nomogram model related to the two genes and clinical risk factors. This model performed well in Calibration plot and Decision Curve Analysis. In conclusion, we have obtained a list of genes related to the immune microenvironment with a better prognosis for serous ovarian cancer, and based on this, we have tried to establish a clinical prognosis model.
