A bioinformatic analysis study of m7G regulator-mediated methylation modification patterns and tumor microenvironment infiltration in glioblastoma

Abstract Background Glioblastoma is one of the most common brain cancers in adults, and is characterized by recurrence and little curative effect. An effective treatment for glioblastoma patients remains elusive worldwide. 7-methylguanosine (m7G) is a common RNA modification, and its role in tumors...

description Abstract Background Glioblastoma is one of the most common brain cancers in adults, and is characterized by recurrence and little curative effect. An effective treatment for glioblastoma patients remains elusive worldwide. 7-methylguanosine (m7G) is a common RNA modification, and its role in tumors has become a research hotspot. Methods By searching for differentially expressed genes related to m7G, we generated a prognostic signature via cluster analysis and established classification criteria of high and low risk scores. The effectiveness of classification was validated using the Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm, and repeatedly verified using training and test groups. The dimension reduction method was used to clearly show the difference and clinical significance of the data. All analyses were performed via R (version 4.1.2). Results According to the signature that included four genes (TMOD2, CACNG2, PLOD3, and TMSB10), glioblastoma patients were divided into high and low risk score groups. The survival rates between the two groups were significantly different, and the predictive abilities for 1-, 3-, and 5-year survivals were effective. We further established a Nomogram model to further examine the signature,as well as other clinical factors, with remaining significant results. Our signature can act as an independent prognostic factor related to immune-related processes in glioblastoma. Conclusions Our research addresses the gap in knowledge in the m7G and glioblastoma research fields. The establishment of a prognostic signature and the extended analysis of the tumor microenvironment, immune correlation, and tumor mutation burden further suggest the important role of m7G in the development and development of this disease. This work will provide support for future research.
