Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant cancer of the central nervous system, and radiotherapy is widely applied in GBM treatment; however, the sensitivity to radiotherapy varies in different patients. To solve this clinical dilemma, a radiosensitivity prediction signature was constructed in the present study based on genomic methylation. In total, 1044 primary GBM samples with clinical and methylation microarray data were involved in this study. LASSO-COX, GSVA, Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis, and COX regression were performed for the construction and verification of predictive models. The R programming language was used as the main tool for statistical analysis and graphical work. Via the integration analysis of methylation and the survival data of primary GBM, a novel prognostic and radiosensitivity prediction signature was constructed. This signature was found to be stable in prognosis prediction in the TCGA and CGGA databases. The possible mechanism was also explored, and it was found that this signature is closely related to DNA repair functions. Most importantly, this signature could predict whether GBM patients could benefit from radiotherapy. In summary, a radiosensitivity prediction signature for GBM patients based on five methylated probes was constructed, and presents great potential for clinical application.

View all literature mentionsProject exploring the spectrum of genomic changes involved in more than 20 types of human cancer that provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated. As a pilot project it confirmed that an atlas of changes could be created for specific cancer types. It also showed that a national network of research and technology teams working on distinct but related projects could pool the results of their efforts, create an economy of scale and develop an infrastructure for making the data publicly accessible. Its success committed resources to collect and characterize more than 20 additional tumor types. Components of the TCGA Research Network: * Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR); Tissue samples are carefully cataloged, processed, checked for quality and stored, complete with important medical information about the patient. * Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs); Several technologies will be used to analyze genomic changes involved in cancer. The genomic changes that are identified will be further studied by the Genome Sequencing Centers. * Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs); High-throughput Genome Sequencing Centers will identify the changes in DNA sequences that are associated with specific types of cancer. * Proteome Characterization Centers (PCCs); The centers, a component of NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, will ascertain and analyze the total proteomic content of a subset of TCGA samples. * Data Coordinating Center (DCC); The information that is generated by TCGA will be centrally managed at the DCC and entered into the TCGA Data Portal and Cancer Genomics Hub as it becomes available. Centralization of data facilitates data transfer between the network and the research community, and makes data analysis more efficient. The DCC manages the TCGA Data Portal. * Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub); Lower level sequence data will be deposited into a secure repository. This database stores cancer genome sequences and alignments. * Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) - Immense amounts of data from array and second-generation sequencing technologies must be integrated across thousands of samples. These centers will provide novel informatics tools to the entire research community to facilitate broader use of TCGA data. TCGA is actively developing a network of collaborators who are able to provide samples that are collected retrospectively (tissues that had already been collected and stored) or prospectively (tissues that will be collected in the future).
