Abstract
BackgroundGliomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, with high heterogeneity and highly variable survival rates. Accurate classification and prognostic assessment are key to the selection of treatment strategies. One hallmark of the tumor is resistance to cell death. PANoptosis, a novel mode of programmed cell death, has been frequently reported to be involved in the innate immunity associated with pathogen infection and played an important role in cancers. However, the intrinsic association of PANoptosis with glioma requires deeper investigation.MethodsThe genetics and expression of the 17 reported PANoptosome-related genes were analyzed in glioma. Based on these genes, patients were divided into two subtypes by consensus clustering analysis. After obtaining the differentially expressed genes between clusters, a prognostic model called PANopotic score was constructed after univariate Cox regression, LASSO regression, and multivariate Cox regression. The expression of the 5 genes included in the PANopotic score was also examined by qPCR in our cohort. The prognostic differences, clinical features, TME infiltration status, and immune characteristics between PANoptotic clusters and score groups were compared, some of which even extended to pan-cancer levels.ResultsGene mutations, CNVs and altered gene expression of PANoptosome-related genes exist in gliomas. Two PANoptotic clusters were significantly different in prognosis, clinical features, immune characteristics, and mutation landscapes. The 5 genes included in the PANopotic score had significantly altered expression in glioma samples in our cohort. The high PANoptotic score group was inclined to show an unfavorable prognosis, lower tumor purity, worse molecular genetic signature, and distinct immune characteristics related to immunotherapy. The PANoptotic score was considered as an independent prognostic factor for glioma and showed superior prognostic assessment efficacy over several reported models. PANopotic score was included in the nomogram constructed for the potential clinical prognostic application. The associations of PANoptotic score with prognostic assessment and tumor immune characteristics were also reflected at the pan-cancer level.ConclusionMolecular subtypes of glioma based on PANoptosome-related genes were proposed and PANoptotic score was constructed with different clinical characteristics of anti-tumor immunity. The potential intrinsic association between PANoptosis and glioma subtypes, prognosis, and immunotherapy was revealed.
