摘要
Purpose:To screen potential tumor antigens for melanoma vaccine development and identify different immune subtypes.Methods:Transcriptional data(HTSEQ-FPKM)and clinical information of a 472 Melanoma cohort GDC TCGA Melanoma(SKCM)were downloaded from the UCSC XENA website(http://xena.ucsc.edu/).Subsequently,transcriptome data and clinical information of 210 melanoma cohort GSE65904 were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),a large global public database.All the transcriptome expression data matrices were log2 transformed for subsequent analysis.GEPIA,TIMER,and IMMPORT databases are also used for analysis.Cell function experiments were performed to validate the role of the IDO1 gene in melanoma cell line A375.Results:Our study provides potential tumor antigens for vaccine development in melanoma patients:GZMB,GBP4,CD79A,APOBEC3F,IDO1,JCHAIN,LAG3,PLA2G2D,XCL2.In addition,we divide melanoma patients into two immune subtypes that have significant differences in tumor immunity and may have different responses to vaccination.In view of the unclear role of IDO1 in melanoma,we selected IDO1 for cell assay validation.Cell function assay showed that IDO1 was significantly overexpressed in the melanoma A375 cell line.After IDO1 knockdown,the activity,invasion,migration and healing ability of A375 cell lines were significantly decreased.Conclusion:Our study could provide a reference for the development of vaccines for melanoma patients.
