Intra-tumoral angiogenesis correlates with immune features and prognosis in glioma.

ABSTRACT: Gliomas are the most common malignant tumor in the brain. As with other tumors, the progression of glioma depends on intra-tumoral angiogenesis. However, the effect of angiogenesis on gliomas is still not fully understood. In this study, we developed an angiogenesis pathway score using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSAV) in R to assess the status of intra-glioma angiogenesis in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA mRNAseq_325, CGGA mRNA-array), and GSE16011 datasets. We found that the angiogenesis pathway score not only accurately predicted the prognosis of glioma patients, but also accurately distinguished the malignant phenotype and immune characteristics of gliomas. In addition, as an independent prognostic factor, the score could predict glioma sensitivity t
