Identification of CircRNA signature associated with tumor immune infiltration to predict therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy
Release date:
2023-03-01
Description:
We applied four well-established circRNA identification tools to characterize the circRNA expression profiles of two independent cohorts of 157 ICB-treated patients with advanced melanoma. We observed overall overexpression of circRNAs in ICB non-responders as compared with responders in both pre-treatment biopsies (PRE) and early during therapy (EDT). We then constructed circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks and revealed circRNA-related signaling pathways in the context of ICB treatment. Furthermore, we employed a machine learning approach to identify a novel ICB-related circRNA signature (ICBcircSig) based on progression-free survival-related circRNAs. This ICBcircSig was able to accurately predict the therapeutic efficacy of ICB in three independent patient cohorts and outperforms predictions made based on the expression of PD-L1 and the 20 transcriptome-based features.
For each controlled access study, there is a corresponding Data Access Committee(DAC) to determine the access permissions. Access to actual data files is not managed by NGDC.
The cohort of 24 patients with melanoma evaluated in this study received anti-PD-1 treatment or a combination of anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 collected from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Centre and Xiangya Hospital between May 2018 and September 2020.
