Single-Cell and Bulk Transcriptomic Integration Reveals a Stemness-Related Astrocyte Subpopulation for Prognostic Risk Stratification in Glioblastoma

Key Points

The study aims to identify a gene signature associated with stemness that can help stratify glioblastoma risk.
Developed a four-gene signature related to stemness.
Conducted transcriptomic integration at single-cell and bulk levels.
Analyzed tumor microenvironment characteristics.
Identified an immunosuppressive microenvironment in high-risk glioblastoma tumors.
Provided a prognostic tool for risk stratification using the four-gene signature.

Abstract

We developed a stemness-associated four-gene signature that enables risk stratification in GBM and reveals an immunosuppressive microenvironment in high-risk tumors, providing new directions for prognosis and targeted therapy.
