Abstract
Traditional glioma diagnostic methods have limitations, while liquid biopsy is a promising non-invasive option. This study developed the glioma-related cell signature (GRCS), a prediction model that integrates machine learning with biological insights. Trained on tumor-educated platelet samples, the GRCS model demonstrated consistent performance across validation cohorts comprising platelet, extracellular vesicle, and tumor tissue specimens. The GRCS score showed significant associations with patient age, histological grade, survival outcome, and mutational landscape. Moreover, the GRCS model effectively distinguished responses to bevacizumab and immunotherapy and identified potential candidates for combination therapies. Furthermore, a miRNA-based simplified GRCS model (GRCSS) was developed and validated across different specimen cohorts, demonstrating its robust diagnostic and prognostic capabilities in glioma. This work highlights the potential of GRCS as a versatile tool for personalized glioma management across multiple biopsy specimen types.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
