Abstract

AbstractMeningioma is one of the most common primary tumors in the central nervous system (CNS). A deeper understanding of its molecular characterization could provide potential therapeutic targets to reduce recurrence. In this study, we attempted to identify specific gene mutations in meningioma for immunotherapy. One GSE43290 dataset was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to find differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between meningioma tissues and normal meninges. In total, 420 DEGs were identified, including 15 up-regulated and 405 down-regulated genes. Functional enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were mainly enriched in PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Focal adhesion, and MAPK signaling pathway. We identified 20 hub genes by protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis. Among the hub genes, the expression of FLT1, CXCL8, JUN, THBS1, FECAM1, CD34, and FGF13 were negatively correlated with Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1). Additionally, the expression of those genes was co-regulated by miR‐155‐5p. The findings suggest that miR-155-5p play an important role in the pathogenesis of meningioma and may represent potential therapeutic targets for its anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy.
