Background Ovarian cancer (OV) is one of the most common malignant tumors of gynecology oncology. The lack of effective early diagnosis methods and treatment strategies result in a low five-year survival rate. Also, immunotherapy plays an important auxiliary role in the treatment of advanced OV patient, so it is of great significance to find out effective immune-related tumor markers for the diagnosis and treatment of OV. Methods Based on the consensus clustering analysis of single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) score transformed via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) mRNA profile, we obtained two groups with high and low levels of immune infiltration. Multiple machine learning methods were conducted to explore prognostic genes associated with immune infiltration. Simultaneously, the correlation between the expression of mark genes and immune cells components was explored. Results A prognostic classifier including 5 genes (CXCL11, S1PR4, TNFRSF17, FPR1 and DHRS95) was established and its robust efficacy for predicting overall survival was validated via 1129 OV samples. Some significant variations of copy number on gene loci were found between two risk groups and it showed that patients with fine chemosensitivity has lower risk score than patient with poor chemosensitivity (P = 0.013). The high and low-risk groups showed significantly different distribution (P Conclusion The present study identified five prognostic genes associated with immune infiltration of OV, which may provide some potential clinical implications for OV treatment.

The high and low-risk groups showed significantly different distribution (P 0.001) of five immune cells (Monocytes, Macrophages M1, Macrophages M2, T cells CD4 menory and T cells CD8).The present study identified five prognostic genes associated with immune infiltration of OV, which may provide some potential clinical implications for OV treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis (OA) by microarray analysis. Three gene expression datasets GSE1919, 19664 and 55235 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus, and data of OA samples and healthy controls were used. After data preprocessing, differential expression analysis between the OA group and controls was performed using LIMMA (Linear Models for Microarray Data) package and genes with |log2FC (fold change)|>1 and P
