A cancer-associated fibroblast subtypes-based signature enables the evaluation of immunotherapy response and prognosis in bladder cancer

© 2023 The Author(s)..

Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most prevalent and heterogeneous urinary malignant tumors. Previous researches have reported a significant association between cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and poor prognosis of tumor patients. However, uncertainty surrounds the role of CAFs in the BLCA tumor microenvironment, necessitating further investigation into the CAFs-related gene signatures in BLCA. In this study, we identified three CAF subtypes in BLCA according to single-cell RNA-seq data and constructed CAFs-related risk score (CRRS) by screening 102,714 signatures. The survival analysis, ROC curves, and nomogram suggested that CRRS was a valuable predictor in 2,042 patients from 9 available public datasets and Xiangya real-world cohort. We further revealed the significant correlation between CRRS and clinicopathological characteristics, genome alterations, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). A high CRRS indicated a non-inflamed phenotype and a lower remission rate of immunotherapy in BLCA. In conclusion, the CRRS had the potential to predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response of BLCA patients.
