description Abstract Purpose Glioma is the most prevalent tumor of the central nervous system. The poor clinical outcomes and limited therapeutic efficacy underscore the urgent need for early diagnosis and an optimized prognostic approach for glioma. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify sensitive biomarkers for glioma. Patients and methods Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of glioma were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The potential biomarkers were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. The prognostic ability of the potential biomarkers was evaluated by Cox regression and survival curve. CellMiner was used to access the correlation between the expression of potential biomarkers and anticancer drug sensitivity. We then explored the association of potential biomarkers and tumor immune infiltration by single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT. Immune staining in glioma patient samples and cell experiments of potential biomarkers further verified their expression and function. Results Ultimately, we identified three potential biomarkers: SLC8A2, ATP2B3, and SRCIN1. These 3 genes were found significantly correlated with clinicopathological features (age, WHO grade, IDH mutation status, 1p19q codeletion status). Furthermore, the overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were found to be positively correlated with high expression of these 3 potential biomarkers. Besides, there was a substantial relationship between the sensitivity of anticancer drugs and these biomarkers expression. More importantly, the negative association between the 3 genes with most tumor immune cells was also established. Moreover, the decreased expression of the biomarkers was also verified in glioma patient samples. Finally, we confirmed that these 3 genes might promotes glioma proliferation and migration in vitro. Conclusion SLC8A2, ATP2B3, and SRCIN1 were identified as underlying biomarkers for glioma associated with prognosis assessments and personal immunotherapy. Graphical Abstract
