Abnormal oncogenic signatures provide important clues regarding cancer prognosis and treatment. We analysed the variations in 189 oncogenic signature gene sets between normal and tumourous tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and found that the “CSR_LATE_UP” signature was the most upregulated oncogenic signature gene set in bladder cancer. Next, we developed a common serum response (CSR) risk score (CRS) model based on fibroblast CSR genes and systematically analysed the correlations of these genes or the CRSs with survival, previously reported molecular subtypes, clinicopathological features, cancer signalling pathways, chemotherapeutic responses, and the tumour microenvironment using TCGA and validation cohorts. The CRS could predict the malignant phenotype, chemotherapeutic efficacy, immune invasion, and disease prognosis. Inflammatory signalling pathways (e.g., inflammatory response, TNFA signalling via NFƘB, IFNα response, and IL2-STAT5 signalling) were markedly upregulated in patients with high CRS. Notably, the CSR-related gene ANLN was positively correlated with CD8+ immune cell infiltration, PD-L1 expression, and sensitivity to PD-L1 inhibitors and could thus provide guidance for clinical immunotherapy. This study highlights the crucial role of the CSR signature in bladder cancer and provides a CRS model for accurate predictions of the disease prognosis and chemotherapy and immunotherapy responses. |
