Glioma is the most common and aggressive malignant tumors in central nervous system, its morbidity and mortality are both high. Lysine acetylation could alter the expression of oncogene and anti-oncogene. Thus, this study explored the potential mechanism and aimed to find new diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The Cancer Genome Atlas Glioblastoma Multiforme, Glioma related dataset were downloaded from UCSC and CGGA database respectively. Lysine acetylation-related genes (LARGs) was acquired from published literature. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed between GBM and control samples. LARGs (DE-LARGs) were obtained by taking the intersection of DEGs and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) module genes. Subsequently, enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was processed. Then, prognosis genes were selected, risk model was constructed and verified. After that, independent prognosis factors were used to predict the survival of GBM patients. Corresponding pathways and functions were analyzed between different groups. The difference of immune environment was compared. Finally, the drug prediction and regulatory network construction was performed. Prognosis genes in tumor and normal tissue were identified using immunohistochemistry. Totally 6767 DEGs were screened out. A total of 2890 module genes were identified highly correlated with lysine acetylation score by WGCNA. A total of 313 DE-LARGs were acquired by taking the intersection of DEGs and module genes. PPI network was constructed and 215 genes were obtained. Further, risk model revealed 5 genes (CD79B, STXBP4, DDHD1, FKBP1B and TRAM2) was related with overall survival (OS) of GBM patients. Kaplan-Meier survival and receiver operating characteristic curves were proved to be highly accurate both in training and validation set. Based on nomogram, riskscore was the independent prognosis factor for patients. The immune infiltration level was highly expressed in high risk group. Four drugs (PAC.1, OSI.906, WH.4.023, BMS.536924) were identified as chemotherapeutic drugs in Glioma. The transcription factors (TFs)-mRNA regulatory network was constructed and 76 TFs were obtained using TRRUST. Finally, the expression of prognostic genes in tumor was significantly higher than that in normal tissue. New prognostic genes CD79B, STXBP4, DDHD1, FKBP1B, and TRAM2 were identified for glioma through the new perspective of lysine acetylation, suggesting their importance in the development of the disease and offering potential insights for diagnosis and treatment.
胶质瘤是中枢神经系统中最常见且侵袭性最强的恶性肿瘤,其发病率和死亡率都很高。赖氨酸乙酰化可改变癌基因和抑癌基因的表达。因此,本研究探索了潜在机制,旨在寻找新的诊断和治疗方法。分别从UCSC和CGGA数据库下载了癌症基因组图谱多形性胶质母细胞瘤、胶质瘤相关数据集。从已发表的文献中获取赖氨酸乙酰化相关基因(LARGs)。分析了胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)与对照样本之间的差异表达基因(DEGs)。通过取DEGs与加权基因共表达网络分析(WGCNA)模块基因的交集获得LARGs(差异表达赖氨酸乙酰化相关基因,DE-LARGs)。随后,进行富集分析和蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(PPI)网络分析。然后,选择预后基因,构建并验证风险模型。之后,使用独立预后因素预测GBM患者的生存情况。分析了不同组之间相应的通路和功能。比较了免疫环境的差异。最后,进行药物预测和调控网络构建。使用免疫组织化学鉴定肿瘤组织和正常组织中的预后基因。共筛选出6767个DEGs。通过WGCNA共鉴定出2890个与赖氨酸乙酰化评分高度相关的模块基因。通过取DEGs与模块基因的交集获得313个DE-LARGs。构建了PPI网络,得到215个基因。进一步的风险模型显示,5个基因(CD79B、STXBP4、DDHD1、FKBP1B和TRAM2)与GBM患者的总生存期(OS)相关。Kaplan-Meier生存曲线和受试者工作特征曲线在训练集和验证集中均被证明具有高度准确性。基于列线图,风险评分是患者的独立预后因素。高风险组的免疫浸润水平高表达。四种药物(PAC.1、OSI.906、WH.4.023、BMS.536924)被鉴定为胶质瘤的化疗药物。使用TRRUST构建转录因子(TFs)-mRNA调控网络,获得76个TFs。最后,肿瘤中预后基因的表达明显高于正常组织。通过赖氨酸乙酰化的新视角鉴定了胶质瘤的新预后基因CD79B、STXBP4、DDHD1、FKBP1B和TRAM2,表明它们在疾病发展中的重要性,并为诊断和治疗提供了潜在的见解。
