A comprehensive analysis of vasculogenic mimicry related genes to predict the survival rate of HCC and its influence on the tumor microenvironment

ObjectivesInvestigate the predictive value of Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) related genes for the survival and prognosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and its role in the tumor microenvironment (TME).MethodsVM-related genes were obtained from previous literature, the expression profiles, si...

description ObjectivesInvestigate the predictive value of Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) related genes for the survival and prognosis of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and its role in the tumor microenvironment (TME).MethodsVM-related genes were obtained from previous literature, the expression profiles, single-cell data and clinical information of HCC patients were downloaded from public databases. The HCC patients were divided into different clusters by unsupervised clustering, the differences in prognosis and immune characteristics of VM-related clusters were analyzed. A prognostic model related to VM (VM Score) was constructed based on LASSO regression and univariate and multivariate Cox regression, the correlation between this model and chemotherapy drugs and immunotherapy was studied. Seurat package was used to standardize single-cell data for single-cell level analysis. The expression of risk factors in VM Score was verified by RT-qPCR.ResultsVM Score composed of SPP1, ADAMTS5 and ZBP1 was constructed and validated. VM Score was an independent prognostic factor for HCC. Through the analysis of single cell data further reveals the VM Score influence on TME. In addition, VM Score could provide ideas for the selection of immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs. RT-qPCR showed that the expression of risk factors was different in HCC cell lines.ConclusionOur results suggest that VM Score may serve as a promising prognostic biomarker for HCC and provide new ideas for immunotherapy in HCC patients.
