Mode of action MU_R_LOSS
Description for ‘mode of action’:the ‘mode of action’ for signature is composed of three parts: A_B_C. A describes the level at which the corresponding signature changes, it may contain the following values: TRAN(translation), PROT(protein), CE(cell), METH(methylation), AC(acetylation), PHOS(phosphorylation), MU(mutation), SNP(single nucleotide polymorphism), GLYC(glycosylation) and PATH(pathway). B describes the corresponding signature in which cancer immunotherapy condition group has changed, it may contain the following values: R (immunotherapy response group), NR(immunotherapy non-response group), D (Immunotherapy group), ND (No immunotherapy group). C describes the change detail (specific direction) of the corresponding signature, it may contain the following values: UP (High gene/protein expression or increased cellular abundance or enhanced epigenetic modification), DN (Low gene/protein expression or reduced cellular abundance or attenuated epigenetic modifications), LOSS (deletion mutation), GAIN (gain mutation),Other. For example, the search/browse detail result for CD274 was “PROT_R_UP”, it can be interpreted that the protein level of CD274 was upregulated in immunotherapy response individuals.
Experimental clinical trial
Description We found that clinical benefit was associated with loss-of-function mutations in the PBRM1 gene (P = 0.012), which encodes a subunit of the PBAF switch-sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex. We confirmed this finding in an independent validation cohort of 63 ccRCC patients treated with PD-1 or PD-L1 (PD-1 ligand) blockade therapy alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4) therapies (P = 0.0071).
