Comprehensive analysis of pyroptosis-related gene signatures for glioblastoma immune microenvironment and target therapy.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant brain tumour, but its subtypes (mesenchymal, classical, and proneural) show different prognoses. Pyroptosis is a programmed cell death relating to tumour progression, but its association with GBM is poorly understood. In this work, we collected 73 GBM samples (the Xiangya GBM cohort) and reported that pyroptosis involves tumour-microglia interaction and tumour response to interferon-gamma. GBM samples were grouped into different subtypes, cluster 1 and cluster 2, based on pyroptosis-related genes. Cluster 1 samples manifested a worse prognosis and had a more complicated immune landscape than cluster 2 samples. Single-cell RNA-seq data analysis supported that cluster 1 samples respond to interferon-gamma more actively. Moreover, the machine learning algorit
