Prognosis-related genes participate in immunotherapy of renal clear cell carcinoma possibly by targeting dendritic cells.

ABSTRACT: Tumor immunotherapy has become one of the most promising approaches to tumor treatment. This study aimed to screen genes involved in the response of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) to immunotherapy and analyze their function. Based on the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets, we screened out nine differentially expressed genes (TYROBP, APOC1, CSTA, LY96, LAPTM5, CD300A, ALOX5, C1QA, and C1QB) associated with clinical traits and prognosis. A risk signature constructed by these nine genes could predict the survival probability for patients at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. The immune checkpoint blockade response rate in the high-risk group was significantly higher than in the low-risk group (49.25% vs. 24.72%, p ≤ 0.001). The nine prognosis-related genes
