Development and Validation of CXCR4 Nomogram-Based Immune Infiltration/Tumor Inflammation in Primary Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic molecular markers is of great significance for clinical prognosis. The CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR) members play a key regulatory role in many cancers. In this study, we exp...

description Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic molecular markers is of great significance for clinical prognosis. The CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR) members play a key regulatory role in many cancers. In this study, we explore the clinical value and application of the CXCR members in primary glioblastoma. Two GBM datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The China Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases were used to explore the relationship between differential expression of CXCRs and GBM subtypes as well as immune infiltration. C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) was screened as an independent prognostic factor, and a nomogram and risk prediction model were developed and tested in the CGGA database using the TCGA database. Receiver operating curve (ROC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) found good accuracy and net benefit of the models. The correlation of CXCR4 with immune infiltration and tumor was analyzed using CancerSEA and TIMER. In in vitro experiments, we found that CXCR4 was significantly overexpressed in glioblastoma and was closely related to the inflammatory response of U251/U87 cells. CXCR4 is an excellent independent prognostic factor for glioblastoma and positively correlates with tumor inflammation.
