Popis: Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 (ALOX5) expression and methylation, and explore the immune functions of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression in low-grade glioma (LGG).Materials and Methods: Using efficient bioinformatics approaches, the differential expression of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 and the association of its expression with clinicopathological characteristics were evaluated. Then, we analyzed the prognostic significance of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression and its methylation level followed by immune cell infiltration analysis. The functional enrichment analysis was conducted to determine the possible regulatory pathways of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 in low-grade glioma. Finally, the drug sensitivity analysis was performed to explore the correlation between arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression and chemotherapeutic drugs.Results: arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 mRNA expression was increased in low-grade glioma and its expression had a notable relation with age and subtype (p < 0.05). The elevated mRNA level of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 could independently predict the disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival (OS), and progression-free interval (PFI) (p < 0.05). Besides, arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression was negatively correlated with its methylation level and the arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 hypomethylation led to a worse prognosis (p < 0.05). The arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression also showed a positive connection with immune cells, while low-grade glioma patients with higher immune cell infiltration had poor survival probability (p < 0.05). Further, arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 might be involved in immune- and inflammation-related pathways. Importantly, arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression was negatively related to drug sensitivity.Conclusion: arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 might be a promising biomarker, and it probably occupies a vital role in immune cell infiltration in low-grade glioma.
