Backgrounds: The overall survival of patients with lower-grade gliomas and glioblastoma varies greatly. No reliable or existing procedures can accurately forecast survival and prognostic biomarkers for early diagnosis in glioma and glioblastoma. However, investigations are progressing in immunotherapy, tumor purity, and tumor microenvironment which may be therapeutic targets for glioma and glioblastoma. Results: This study indicated the possible prognostic signatures that can be used to identify immune-related prognostic biomarkers in the prediction of the survival of low-grade glioma (LGG) patients which may be a possible therapeutic target. In addition, the Kaplan–Meier plot, ESTIMATE algorithm, and TIMER 2.0 analysis indicated that Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) p = 0.030, Aquaporin 7 (AQP7) p = 0.001, and Human 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 9 (AGPAT9) p = 0.005 are significantly associated in glioma. Hence, they may be possible prognostic biomarkers in glioma. Meanwhile, in the glioblastoma, only KLF15 has a significant association with glioblastoma (p = 0.025). Stromal and immune scores of gliomas were determined from transcriptomic profiles of LGG cohort from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) using the ESTIMATE (Estimation of Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumours using Expression data algorithm). The immune infiltration of the KLF15, AQP7, and AGPAT9 for low-grade glioma and glioblastoma was determined using TIMER immune 2.0 which indicates correlation with tumor purity for KLF15, AQP7, and AGPAT9, but only KLF15 and AGPAT9 are significantly associated in both glioma and glioblastoma, respectively. Conclusions: These results highlight the significance of microenvironment monitoring, analysis of glioma and glioblastoma prognosis, and targeted immunotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first time to investigate an analysis that revealed that KLF15, AQP7, and AGPAT9 may be important prognostic biomarkers for patients with glioma and KLF15 for patients with glioblastoma. Meanwhile, KLF15 and AGPAT9 are significantly associated in both glioma and glioblastoma, respectively, for tumor purity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
