Machine learning-based identification of SOX10 as an immune regulator of macrophage in gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Gliomas, originating from the glial cells, are the most lethal type of primary tumors in the central nervous system. Standard treatments like surgery have not significantly improved the prognosis of glioblastoma patients. Recently, immune therapy has become a novel and effective option. As a conserved group of transcriptional regulators, the Sry-type HMG box (SOX) family has been proved to have a correlation with numerous diseases. Based on the large-scale machine learning, we found that the SOX family, with significant immune characteristics and genomic profiles, can be divided into two distinct clusters in gliomas, among which SOX10 was identified as an excellent immune regulator of macrophage in gliomas. The high expression of SOX10 is related to a shorter OS in LGG, HGG, and pan-cancer
