PD-1 related transcriptome profile and clinical outcome in diffuse gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Background: PD-1 plays a critical part in control of immune response to malignancy. Anti-PD-1 treatment is a hopeful strategy to improve the dismal prognosis of gliomas. To characterize the role of PD-1 in diffuse gliomas, we investigated its related biological process at transcriptome level and its clinical prognostic value. Method and patients: Through Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas and TCGA datasets, we systematically reviewed a total of 994 cases with RNA-seq data and analyzed the functional annotation of PD-1 by Gene ontology (GO) analysis. Univariate and multivariate survival analysis were performed in 907 patients with survival data. Results: We found PD-1 was significantly upregulated in glioblastoma and isocitrate dehydrogenase wild type tumors. According to TCGA
