Combined Therapy Sensitivity Index Based on a 13-Gene Signature Predicts Prognosis for IDH Wild-type and MGMT Promoter Unmethylated Glioblastoma Patients.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the lethal tumors with poor prognosis. However, prognostic prediction approaches need to be further explored. Therefore, we developed an evaluation system that could be used for prognostic prediction of GBM patients. Published mRNA expression datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) were analyzed. Quantitative Realtime-PCR of signature genes and molecular aberrations of 178 Xiangya GBM patients were used for confirmation. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed for functional annotation. As a result, we established a 13-gene signature which named Combined Therapy Sensitivity Index (CTSI). Based on a cutoff point, we divided patients into high-risk group and low-risk group. Based
