A combined signature of glycolysis and immune landscape predicts prognosis and therapeutic response in prostate cancer

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common malignancy that poses a major threat to the health of men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and its derivatives, as FDA-approved detection assays, are insufficient to serve as optimal markers for patient prognosis and clinical decision-making. It is widely acknowledged that aberrant glycolytic metabolism in PCa is related to tumor progression and acidifies the tumor microenvironment (TME). Considering the non-negligible impacts of glycolysis and immune functions on PCa, we developed a combined classifier in prostate cancer. The Glycolysis Score containing 19 genes and TME Score including three immune cells were created, using the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, log-rank test, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO
