ABSTRACT
Tumor recurrence is a common clinical dilemma in diffuse gliomas. We aimed to identify a recurrence-related signature to predict the prognosis for glioma patients. In the public Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas dataset, we enrolled multi-omics data including genome, epigenome and transcriptome across primary and recurrent gliomas. We included RNA sequencing data from the batch 1 patients (325 patients) as the training set, while RNA sequencing data from the batch 2 patients (693 patients) were selected as the validation set. The R language was used for subsequent analysis. Compared with primary gliomas, more somatic mutations and copy number alterations were revealed in recurrent gliomas. In recurrent gliomas, we identified 113 genes whose methylation levels were significantly different from those of the primary glioma. Through differential expression analysis between primary and recurrent gliomas, we screened 121 recurrence-related genes. Based on these 121 gene expression profiles, consensus clustering of 325 patients yielded two robust groups with different molecular and prognostic features. We developed a recurrence-related risk signature with the lasso regression algorithm. High-risk group had shorter survival and earlier tumor recurrence than the low-risk group. Compared with traditional indicators, the signature showed better prognostic value. In addition, we constructed a nomogram model to predict glioma survival. Functional characteristics analysis found that the signature was associated with cell division and cell cycle. Immune analysis suggested that immunosuppressive status and macrophages might promote glioma recurrence. We demonstrated a novel 18-gene signature that could effectively predict recurrence and prognosis for glioma patients.
