Abstract

Although N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification serves as a tumor promoter in bladder cancer (BLCA), the comprehensive role of m7G-related characterization in BLCA remains unclear. In this study, we systematically evaluated the m7G-related clusters of 760 BLCA patients through consensus unsupervised clustering analysis. Next, we investigated the underlying m7G-related genes among these m7G-related clusters. Univariate Cox and LASSO regressions were used for screening out prognostic genes and for reducing the dimension, respectively. Finally, we developed a novel m7G-related scoring system via the GSVA algorithm. The correlation between tumor microenvironment, prediction of personalized therapies and this m7G-related signature was gradually revealed. We first identified three m7G-related clusters and 1108 differentially expressed genes relevant to the three clusters. Based on the profile of 1108 genes, we divided BLCA patients into two clusters, which were quantified by our established m7G-related scoring system. Patients with higher m7G-related scores tended to have a better OS and more chances to benefit from immunotherapy. A significantly negative connection between sensitivity to classic chemotherapeutic drugs and m7G-related signature was uncovered. In summary, our data show that m7G-related characterization of BLCA patients can be of value for prognostic stratification and for patient-oriented therapeutic options, designing personalized treatment strategies in the preclinical setting.
