Abstract

Background:The relationship between lipid metabolism, immune response, and immunotherapy in prostate cancer (PCa) is closely intertwined, and targeted intervention in lipid metabolism may facilitate the success of anticancer immunotherapy. This research attempted to explore effective immunotherapy for PCa. Methods:We obtained RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data for PCa patients from the UCSC Xena platform. Data analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was performed using package limma in R. Then, DEGs were subjected to enrichment analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database was conducted to validate the protein expression of the up-regulated lipid metabolism related genes (LMRGs) between PCa tissues and normal prostate tissues. And then we identified critical transcription factors (TFs), LMRGs and miRNA by constructing a regulatory network of TF-gene-miRNA. Furthermore, we determined the high and low groups based on the score of lipid metabolism enrichment. The hallmark gene sets were derived from gene expression profiles using the gene set variation analysis (GSVA) R package. Finally, we conducted immune infiltration analysis and drug sensitivity analysis. Results:Immune response and lipid metabolism have undergone significant changes in PCa and paracancerous tissues compared to normal tissues. A total of 21 LMRGs were differentially up-regulated in PCa. The TF-gene-miRNA network showed that PLA2G7, TWIST1, and TRIB3 may be the key genes that elevated lipid metabolism in PCa. The high group had more infiltration of B cell memory, macrophage M0, macrophage M1, and myeloid dendritic cell resting, and the low group had more infiltration of B cell plasma, monocyte, myeloid dendritic cell activated, and mast cell resting. The majority of checkpoint genes exhibited high expression levels in the low group. Lipid metabolism was remarkedly correlated with drug sensitivity. Conclusions:The analysis of lipid metabolism and related genes has revealed a complex regulatory mechanism that has a significant influence on immune response, immunotherapy, and medication guidance for patients with PCa. Keywords:Prostate cancer (PCa); lipid metabolism; cancer immune; RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
