Abstract
Objective: This study aims to comprehensively investigate the expression profiles of interleukins in prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) and their relationship with immune cell infiltration, tumor progression, and patient prognosis. By establishing an interleukin-related risk score, we seek to enhance the understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment and facilitate the development of tailored immunotherapeutic strategies for PRAD patients.
Introduction: Interleukins can nurture a tumor promoting environment and simultaneously regulate immune cell infiltration. However, the potential roles of interleukins in the prostate adenocarcinoma immune landscape remain abstruse.
Methods: We comprehensively investigated the interleukin expression patterns and tumor immune landscape of prostate adenocarcinoma patients. And explored the interleukin expression patterns with immune infiltration landscape. The interleukin score was established using LASSO cox regression analysis. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was employed to assess the prognostic value of the interleukin score.
Results: We identified two distinct interleukin clusters, characterized by different immune cell infiltration, tumor promoting signaling pathways activation and prognosis. The interleukin score was established to estimate the prognosis of individual prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD) patient. Further analysis demonstrated that the interleukin score was an independent prognostic factor of PRAD. Finally, we investigated the predictive value of interleukin score in the programmed cell death protein (PD-1) blockade therapy of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. At the same time, the differences in related genes among different prostate cell lines were also identified.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated the correlation between interleukin and tumor immune landscape in prostate adenocarcinoma. The comprehensive evaluation of interleukin expression patterns in individual prostate patients contribute to our understanding of the immune landscape and helps clinicians selecting proper immunotherapy strategies for prostate patients.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology is an Open Access peer-reviewed journal publishing original papers describing research in the fields of immunology, pathology and pharmacology. The intention is that the journal should reflect both the experimental and clinical aspects of immunology as well as advances in the understanding of the pathology and pharmacology of the immune system.
