Integrative Analysis of the Predictive Value of Perilipin Family on Clinical Significance, Prognosis and Immunotherapy of Glioma

Gliomas are common tumors of the central nervous system. The PLINs family is widely involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and has been associated with the development and invasive metastasis of various malignancies. However, the biological role of the PLINs family in gliomas is still unclear. TIMER and UALCAN were used to assess PLINs mRNA expression in gliomas. “Survminer” and “Survival” were used to evaluate the connection between PLINs expression and glioma patients’ survival. cBioPortal was applied to assess PLINs’ genetic alterations in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and low-grade glioma (LGG). The correlation of PLINs expression with tumor immune cells was analyzed by TIMER. The expressions of PLIN1, PLIN4, and PLIN5 were decreased in GBM compared to normal tissues. However, PLIN2 and PLIN3 were significantly increased in GBM. Prognostic analysis showed that LGG patients with high PLIN1 expression had better overall survival (OS), and high expression of PLIN2/3/4/5 was associated with unfavorable OS. We further determined that the expression of PLINs members in gliomas was strongly related to tumor immune cells and immune checkpoint-associated genes. PLINS may be potential biomarkers for regulating the tumor microenvironment and predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy. In addition, we determined that PLIN1 may affect glioma patients’ therapeutic sensitivity to temozolomide. Our results demonstrated the biological significance and clinical values of PLINs in gliomas and provide a basis for future in-depth exploration of the specific mechanisms of each member of PLINs in gliomas.
