“…CD8 + T cells were protective indicators in the process of anti-tumor immunity in various tumors, including BLCA [ 62 , 63 ]. Gu et al found that low-risk BLCA patients exhibited a higher immune infiltration of plasma cells compared to the high-risk group, which was in line with our results [ 64 ]. Interestingly, the Tregs showed an inverse effect in BLCA, though they were associated with decreased survival in many cancers, including breast, melanoma and lung [ 65 , 66 ].…”

Although N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification serves as a tumor promoter in bladder cancer (BLCA), the comprehensive role of m7G-related characterization in BLCA remains unclear. In this study, we systematically evaluated the m7G-related clusters of 760 BLCA patients through consensus unsupervised clustering analysis. Next, we investigated the underlying m7G-related genes among these m7G-related clusters. Univariate Cox and LASSO regressions were used for screening out prognostic genes and for reducing the dimension, respectively. Finally, we developed a novel m7G-related scoring system via the GSVA algorithm. The correlation between tumor microenvironment, prediction of personalized therapies and this m7G-related signature was gradually revealed. We first identified three m7G-related clusters and 1108 differentially expressed genes relevant to the three clusters. Based on the profile of 1108 genes, we divided BLCA patients into two clusters, which were quantified by our established m7G-related scoring system. Patients with higher m7G-related scores tended to have a better OS and more chances to benefit from immunotherapy. A significantly negative connection between sensitivity to classic chemotherapeutic drugs and m7G-related signature was uncovered. In summary, our data show that m7G-related characterization of BLCA patients can be of value for prognostic stratification and for patient-oriented therapeutic options, designing personalized treatment strategies in the preclinical setting.

“…Tumors having a greater infiltration of CD8+ T cells, M1 macrophages, and CD20+ cells had a better prognosis than those infiltrated with M0/M2 macrophages and high immunological checkpoint protein expression [ 45 ]. Studies have indicated that low levels of macrophage M0 are strongly related to a better prognosis in bladder cancer patients [ 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Our experimental findings are remarkably congruent with those of the preceding investigations.…”

Background: Chromobox (CBX) proteins are essential components of polycomb group proteins and perform essential functions in bladder cancer (BLCA). However, research on CBX proteins is still limited, and the function of CBXs in BLCA has not been well illustrated. Methods and Results: We analyzed the expression of CBX family members in BLCA patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. By Cox regression analysis and survival analysis, CBX6 and CBX7 were identified as potential prognostic factors. Subsequently, we identified genes associated with CBX6/7 and performed enrichment analysis, and they were enriched in urothelial carcinoma and transitional carcinoma. Mutation rates of TP53 and TTN correlate with expression of CBX6/7. In addition, differential analysis indicated that the roles played by CBX6 and CBX7 may be related to immune checkpoints. The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to screen out immune cells that play a role in the prognosis of bladder cancer patients. Multiplex immunohistochemistry staining confirmed a negative correlation between CBX6 and M1 macrophages, as well as a consistent alteration in CBX6 and regulatory T cells (Tregs), a positive correlation between CBX7 and resting mast cells, and a negative correlation between CBX7 and M0 macrophages. Conclusions: CBX6 and CBX7 expression levels may assist in predicting the prognosis of BLCA patients. CBX6 may contribute to a poor prognosis in patients by inhibiting M1 polarization and promoting Treg recruitment in the tumor microenvironment, while CBX7 may contribute to a better prognosis in patients by increasing resting mast cell numbers and decreasing macrophage M0 content.

“…In addition, has-miR-20a-3p-regulated Pou2af1 mutations lead to impaired T cells, such as impairment in cytokine production and T follicular helper (Tfh) differentiation [16]. Has-miR-20a-3p-regulated MAP1B upregulation leads to a lower proportion of plasma cells, CD8+ T cells and T cell follicular helper cells, suggesting that MAP1B may be involved in regulating T cell differentiation [17]. It has been reported that asparagine synthetase (Asns), whose expression peaks in effector T cells, may determine the outcome of T cell differentiation, leading to a decrease in the differentiation of TH2 and Treg cells [18].…”

Infiltration of CD4+ T cells was found in brain tissue samples from PD patients, suggesting their involvement in developing central nervous system (CNS) disease. The idea of the gut-brain axis further corroborates intestinal T cells' activation as the central immune response initiation. However, the specific factors and molecular pathways regulating intestinal T-cell activation are unclear. We used the GSE156287 and GSE145814 datasets from the GEO database to analyze and obtain the miRNAs, which are aberrantly expressed in intestinal CD4+ T cells in PD patients and predict their regulatory target mRNAs. Further, combined with the GSE174473 dataset of CD4+ T cells sequencing in PD patients, we finally clarified the aberrant genes expressed in CD4+ T cells from the intestine of PD patients and constructed a miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. The highlight of our findings showed pathways, networks, biological functions and key molecules potentially involved in the miRNA-mediated functional effects in CD4+ T cell from intestin of PD patients. The hsa-miR-3180-3p mediated CBX8, etc were determined as most effective in enhancing T cell survial. PEG10 and, etc regulated by hsa-miR-20a-3p targets were possibly involved in T cell differentiation.The JPT2 regulated by hsa-miR-1281 were involved in influencing T cell infiltration; The discovery of this interaction between miRNA and mRNA in CD4+ T cell has important implications for understanding the intestinal initial of PD pathological molecular and anti-inflammation of T cell activation.
