Abstract
The tumor heterogeneity is an important cause of clinical therapy failure and yields distinct prognosis in ovarian cancer (OV). Using the advantages of integrated single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk data to decode tumor heterogeneity remains largely unexplored. Four public datasets were enrolled in this study, including E-MTAB-8107, TCGA-OV, GSE63885, and GSE26193 cohorts. Random forest algorithm was employed to construct a multi-gene prognostic panel and further evaluated by receiver operator characteristic (ROC), calibration curve, and Cox regression. Subsequently, molecular characteristics were deciphered, and treatments strategies were explored to deliver precise therapy. The landscape of cell subpopulations and functional characteristics, as well as the dynamic of macrophage cells were detailly depicted at single cell level, and then screened prognostic candidate genes. Based on the expression of candidate genes, a stable and robust cell characterized gene associated prognosis signature (CCIS) was developed, which harbored excellent performance at prognosis assessment and patient stratification. The ROC and calibration curves, and Cox regression analysis elucidated CCIS could serve as serve as an independent factor for predicting prognosis. Moreover, a promising clinical tool nomogram was also constructed according to stage and CCIS. Through comprehensive investigations, patients in low-risk group were charactered by favorable prognosis, elevated genomic variations, higher immune cell infiltrations, and superior antigen presentation. For individualized treatment, patients in low-risk group were inclined to better immunotherapy responses. This study dissected tumor heterogeneity and afforded a promising prognostic signature, which was conducive to facilitating clinical outcomes for patients with OV.
