Novel prognostic biomarker TBC1D1 is associated with immunotherapy resistance in gliomas.
BACKGROUND: Glioma, an aggressive brain tumor, poses a challenge in understanding the mechanisms of treatment resistance, despite promising results from immunotherapy.
METHODS: We identified genes associated with immunotherapy resistance through an analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA), and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Subsequently, qRT-PCR and western blot analyses were conducted to measure the mRNA and protein levels of TBC1 Domain Family Member 1 (TBC1D1), respectively. Additionally, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was employed to reveal relevant signaling pathways, and the expression of TBC1D1 in immune cells was analyzed using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from GEO database. Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) database was utilized to assess T-cell function, while Tumor Immunotherapy Gene Expression Resource (TIGER) database was employed to evaluate immunotherapy resistance in relation to TBC1D1. Furthermore, the predictive performance of molecules on prognosis was assessed using Kaplan-Meier plots, nomograms, and ROC curves.
RESULTS: The levels of TBC1D1 were significantly elevated in tumor tissue from glioma patients. Furthermore, high TBC1D1 expression was observed in macrophages compared to other cells, which negatively impacted T cell function, impaired immunotherapy response, promoted treatment tolerance, and led to poor prognosis. Inhibition of TBC1D1 was found to potentially synergistically enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy and prolong the survival of cancer patients with gliomas.
CONCLUSION: Heightened expression of TBC1D1 may facilitate an immunosuppressive microenvironment and predict a poor prognosis. Blocking TBC1D1 could minimize immunotherapy resistance in cancer patients with gliomas.
