Background: PR domain zinc finger protein 1 (PRDM1) is a regulator of both B cell and T cell differentiation and plays a critical role in immunosuppression. Its role in tumor immunity and correlation with drug response remain unknown.

Methods: This work comprehensively analyzed the transcriptional expression pattern of the PRDM1 among 33 types of malignancies from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Genotype-Tissue Expression projects. Besides, correlation of the PRDM1 with cancer prognosis, immune infiltrates, checkpoint markers, cancer stemness and drug response were explored.

Results: High expression level of PRDM1 were observed in ACC, COAD, LAML, LGG, LUAD, OV, PAAD, STAD, TGCT. Cox regression model showed high expression of PRDM1 in tumor samples correlates with poor prognosis in LGG, PAAD, UVM while favorable prognosis in KIRC, SKCM and THCA. PRDM1 expression positively correlates with the expression of LAG3, CTLA4, PDCD1 (PD-1), CD274 (PD-L1), PDCD1LG2 (PD-L2), TIGIT in the majority of 33 cancer types. PRDM1 positively correlated with TNFRSF14 in LGG and UVM among cancers with unfavorable prognosis; this correlation were weak or even negative in cancers with favorable prognosis. The top negatively enriched KEGG terms in high PRDM1 subgroup were B cell receptor signaling, T cell receptor signaling, and the top negatively enriched HALLMARK terms included IL-2-STAT5 signaling and allograft rejection. The expression of PRDM1 was found positively correlated with cancer stemness in CHOL, KIRP, TGCT, THYM and UVM. A series of targeted drugs and small-molecule drugs with promising efficacy predicted by PRDM1 level were identified.

Conclusion: The clinical significance and biological impact of high transcriptional expression of PRDM1 differs across different cancers. Inhibiting the PRDM1-dependent signaling could be a novel and promising strategy of immunotherapy in cancers including LGG, PAAD and UVM.
