主 题:Neuroblastoma immune cell infiltration prognosis MYCN amplification B cells
摘 要:Aim:Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in *** advances in immunotherapy Approaches,including in neuroblastoma,have shown the important role of the immune system in mounting an effective anti-tumor *** this study,we aimed to provide a comprehensive investigation of immune cell infiltration in neuroblastoma utilizing a large number of gene expression ***:We inferred immune cell infiltration using an established immune inference method and evaluated the association between immune cell abundance and patient prognosis as well as common chromosomal abnormalities found in *** addition,we evaluated co-infiltration patterns among distinct immune cell ***:The infiltration of naïve B cells,NK cells,and CD8+T cells was associated with improved patient ***ïve B cells were the most consistent indicator of prognosis and associated with an active immune tumor *** with high B cell infiltration showed high co-infiltration of other immune cell types and the enrichment of immune-related *** presence of high B cell infiltration was associated with both recurrence-free and overall survival,even after adjusting for clinical ***:In this study,we have provided a comprehensive evaluation of immune cell infiltration in neuroblastoma using gene expression *** propose an important role for B cells in the neuroblastoma tumor microenvironment and suggest that B cells can be used as a prognostic biomarker to predict recurrence-free and overall survival independently of currently utilized prognostic variables.
