The G Protein-Coupled Receptor-Related Gene Signatures for Diagnosis and Prognosis in Glioblastoma: A Deep Learning Model Using RNA-Seq Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive cancer in the central nervous system in glial cells. Finding novel biomarkers in GBM offers numerous advantages that can contribute to early detection, personalized treatment, improved patient outcomes, and advancements in cancer research and drug development. Integrating machine learning with RNAseq data in medicine holds significant potential for identifying novel biomarkers in various diseases, including cancer. METHODS: Gene expression raw data was used to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) within a cohort of 532 GBM patients. The molecular pathway analysis, disease ontology, and protein-protein interactions of DEGs were assessed. Machine learning methods were performed to identify candidate genes. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard to find prognostic biomarkers. RESULTS: The molecular pathway analysis revealed that key dysregulated genes are in GPCRs, class A rhodopsin-like, MAPK signaling pathway, and calcium regulation in cardiac cells. Additionally, survival analysis showed that ten downregulated genes, including CPLX3, GPR162, LCNL1, SLC5A5, GPR61, GPR68, IL1RL2, HCRTR1, AIPL1, and SYTL1, and also ten upregulated genes, including C1orf92, CATSPER1, CCDC19, EPS8L1, FAIM3, FAM70B, FCN3, GPR157, IGFBP1, and MYBPH decreased the overall survival in GBM patients. Furthermore, the machine learning detected twenty genes, among which LRRTM2 and OPRL1 were candidates with high correlation coefficients. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that genes belonging to G Protein-Coupled Receptors play a critical role in various aspects of glioblastoma progression and pathogenesis. Four members of GPCRs, including GPR162, GPR61, GPR68, and GPR157, can be considered prognostic biomarkers. Additionally, the combination of A2BP1 and GPR157 was reported as a diagnostic marker.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
