An Eight-Gene Hypoxia Signature Predicts Survival in Pancreatic Cancer and Is Associated With an Immunosuppressed Tumor Microenvironment

Abstract: Intratumoral hypoxia is a widely established element of the pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME) promoting immune escape, tumor invasion, and progression, while contributing to treatment resistance and poor survival. Despite this critical role, hypoxia is underrepresented in molecular signatures of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) and concurrent investigations into the hypoxia-immune status are lacking. In this work a literature-based approach was applied to derive an eight-gene hypoxia signature that… Show more

“… 38 The positive correlation between hypoxia and TMB has been further validated in independent studies for hepatocellular carcinoma, 39 gastric cancer 40 and pancreatic cancer. 41 In gastric cancer, TMB positivity was further correlated with higher positive rate of ERO1A protein, a marker of hypoxia, in 73 tumors tested by immunohistochemistry. 40 In addition, lung adenocarcinoma patients classified as high-risk based on a signature of hypoxia-related alternative splicing events have been shown to harbor significantly higher TMB compared to the low-risk group.…”

“…Studies in cancer patient cohorts have similarly correlated the presence of hypoxia with an immunosuppressed TME in breast cancer, 45 , 46 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, 47 colorectal cancer, 48 hepatocellular carcinoma, 49–51 melanoma, 52 osteosarcoma, 53 neuroblastoma 43 and pancreatic cancer, 41 , 54 among others. 55 These studies used hypoxia gene signatures to determine the hypoxic state and immune fraction or gene set enrichment analysis to highlight the immune microenvironment.…”
