Expression of lactate-related signatures correlates with immunosuppressive microenvironment and prognostic prediction in ewing sarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is an aggressive tumor of bone and soft tissue. Growing evidence indicated lactate as a pivotal mediator of crosstalk between tumor energy metabolism and microenvironmental regulation. However, the contribution of lactate-related genes (LRGs) in EWS is still unclear. Methods: We obtained the transcriptional data of EWS patients from the GEO database and identified differentially expressed-LRGs (DE-LRGs) between EWS patient samples and normal tissues. Unsupervised cluster analysis was utilized to recognize lactate modulation patterns based on the expression profile of DE-LRGs. Functional enrichment including GSEA and GSVA analysis was conducted to identify molecular signaling enriched in different subtypes. ESTIMATE, MCP and CIBERSORT algorithm
