Genetic insights into neuroblastoma: the role of immune cell features
Objective
To elucidate the causal relationship between immune cells and neuroblastoma, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Materials and methods
The exposure and outcome data for the genome-wide association study (GWAS) used in this research were sourced from an open-access database. The study utilized two-sample MR analysis to evaluate the causal relationship between 731 immune cell features and neuroblastoma. The main approach to explore this relationship is to apply the inverse variance weighting (IVW) method. In addition, sensitivity analyses including leave-one-out analysis, Cochran's Q test, Mendelian randomization Egger method (MR-Egger) intercept test and Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier test (MR-PRESSO) were performed to verify the reliability of the MR results.
Results
The study identifies five immune cell traits as causally contributing to neuroblastoma risk, including CD3− lymphocyte (% of leukocytes) (IVW: OR[95 % CI] 0.65[0.42–0.99], P = 0.0469), CD86 on granulocyte (IVW: OR[95 % CI] 0.61[0.41–0.92], P = 0.0167), FSC-A on granulocyte(IVW: OR[95 % CI] 0.73[0.57–0.93], P = 0.0117), HLA DR+ CD8+ T cell Absolute Count(IVW: OR[95 % CI]: 1.38[1.01–1.88], P = 0.0408), IgD− CD38+ B cell Absolute Count(IVW: OR[95 % CI] 0.42[0.27–0.66], P = 0.0002). The results of sensitivity analyses were consistent with the main findings.
Conclusion
We demonstrated a close causal relationship between specific types of immune cells and neuroblastoma by genetic methods, offering valuable guidance for future clinical studies.
期刊介绍:
The journal Cytokine has an open access mirror journal Cytokine: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
* Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association studies, pathobiology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, new cytokines, and chemokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their mechanisms of actions, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.
We will publish 3 major types of manuscripts:
1) Original manuscripts describing research results.
2) Basic and clinical reviews describing cytokine actions and regulation.
3) Short commentaries/perspectives on recently published aspects of cytokines, pathogenesis and clinical results.
