Problems solved by technology

However, the stability of various biomarkers in predicting the curative effect of PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibody is not good at present, and they all focus on the intrinsic characteristics of the tumor with obvious heterogeneity, which has certain limitations and ignores the influence of the tumor microenvironment. The evaluation of immunotherapy is not comprehensive in terms of the mechanism of action of immunotherapy, which partly explains the low response rate of gastric cancer to checkpoint inhibitors in clinical trials of multiple biomarkers; therefore, more accurate biological Markers used to predict the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibody

Embodiment 1

[0062] Example 1 The multigene scoring model of the tumor microenvironment of the present invention and its construction method

[0063] A method for constructing a polygene scoring model for evaluating the tumor microenvironment, the steps are as follows:

[0064] (1) Affymetrix chip normalized data of 300 patients with gastric cancer; the data is derived from GSE62254 (obtained from NCBI public database);

[0065] (2) Evaluate the composition of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment on the sequencing data through CIBERSORT and MCP-counter algorithms, and obtain the composition evaluation results of 23 kinds of immune cells;

[0066] (3) Unsupervised clustering of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment by consensuclusterplus2 to obtain different types of tumor microenvironment;

[0067] (4) Through pairwise difference analysis and random forest dimension reduction, 244 gene sets that can evaluate the tumor microenvironment score are finally determined;

Abstract

The invention discloses gene sets and a scoring model for evaluating a tumor microenvironment, and application of the gene sets, and belongs to the field of biological information. It is proved for the first time that the gastric cancer has remarkable tumor microenvironment typing, and prognosis difference of gastric cancer patients with different typing is remarkable. According to a constructionmethod of the multi-gene scoring model for evaluating the gastric cancer tumor microenvironment, 44 gene sets capable of representing different microenvironment types are screened out, and the prediction efficiency of the tumor microenvironment multi-gene scoring model corresponding to the gene sets is remarkably better than that of other existing models; and the model is not only a prognostic marker of a gastric cancer patient, but also has a quite remarkable prediction effect in pan-cancer. The model provided by the invention not only can be used as a good prognosis biomarker, but also can be used for predicting checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy response of various tumors by effectively evaluating the tumor microenvironment, and has important significance and clinical application valuefor better screening immunotherapy benefiting people.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biological information, and relates to a gene set for assessing tumor microenvironment, a scoring model and applications thereof. Background technique [0002] The morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer in China are very high. There are about 400,000 new cases in my country every year, accounting for 42% of the total number of cases in the world. Moreover, gastric cancer patients in China are more common in advanced stages, and the death rate ranks third among all tumors. bit. There are many prognostic factors for gastric cancer. Gastric cancer patients with the same clinical stage and histological grade receive the same treatment plan, and their prognosis may also be different. In recent years, immunotherapy, represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors, has broken the monopoly of previous chemotherapy and targeted therapy in the treatment of gastric cancer, and significantly improved the survival benefits of so...
