ABSTRACT: Backgrounds
The hypoxia-responsive state of cancer is a complex pathophysiological process involving numerous genes playing different roles. Due to the rapid proliferation of cancer cells and chaotic angiogenesis, the clinical features of hypoxia-responsive states are not yet clear in patients with ovarian cancer.Methods
Based on the RNA expression levels of 14 hypoxic markers, our study screened out hypoxia-related genes and construct a hypoxic score pattern to quantify the hypoxia-responsive states of a single tumor. Combining clinical prognosis, tumor mutation burden, microsatellite instability, the expression level of the immune checkpoint, IC50, and other indicators to evaluate the impact of different hypoxia-responsive states on clinical prognosis and therapeutic sensitivity.Results
Our study identified a subgroup with an active hypoxia-responsive state and they have a worse clinical prognosis but exhibit higher immunogenicity and higher sensitivity to immunotherapy.Conclusions
This work revealed that hypoxia-responsive states played an important role in formation of tumor immunogenicity. Evaluating the hypoxia-responsive state will contribute to guiding more effective immunotherapy strategies.
