Hypoxia is reported to have an impact on tumor cell progression and is regarded as a novel potential therapeutic target in tumor treatment. This study aimed at developing a prognostic gene signature based on hypoxia-related genes (HRGs). EWS patients from GSE17674 in the GEO database were analyzed as a training cohort, and differently expressed HRGs between tumor and normal samples were identified. The univariate Cox regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used in this study. A total of 57 EWS patients from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database were set as the validation cohort. A total of 506 differently expressed HRGs between tumor and normal tissues were identified, among which 52 were associated with the prognoses of EWS patients. Based on 52 HRGs, EWS patients were divided into two molecular subgroups with different survival statuses. In addition, a prognostic signature based on 4 HRGs (WSB1, RXYLT1, GLCE and RORA) was constructed, dividing EWS patients into low- and high-risk groups. The 2-, 3- and 5-years area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of this signature was 0.913, 0.97 and 0.985, respectively. It was found that the survival rates of patients in the high-risk group were significantly lower than those in the low-risk group (p < 0.001). The risk level based on the risk score could serve as an independent clinical factor for predicting the survival probabilities of EWS patients. Additionally, antigen-presenting cell (APC) related pathways and T cell co-inhibition were differently activated in two risk groups, which may result in different prognoses. CTLA4 may be an effective immune checkpoint inhibitor to treat EWS patients. All results were verified in the validation cohort. This study constructed 4-HRGs as a novel prognostic marker for predicting survival in EWS patients.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "The univariate Cox regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used in this study.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:35719404", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "The univariate Cox regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used in this study."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/Supplementary Material, further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding authors.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:35719404", "locator": "sections[20] \"Data Availability Statement\" paragraph 2", "quote": "The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/Supplementary Material, further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding authors."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-target-result", "statement": "This study constructed 4-HRGs as a novel prognostic marker for predicting survival in EWS patients.", "kind": "qualitative", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:35719404", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "This study constructed 4-HRGs as a novel prognostic marker for predicting survival in EWS patients."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "complete", "objective": "This study constructed 4-HRGs as a novel prognostic marker for predicting survival in EWS patients.", "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:35719404"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
