Cytohesin-4 (CYTH4) is a member of the PSCD family. Members of this family appear to mediate the regulation of protein sorting and membrane trafficking. In previous studies, CYTH4 has been linked with multiple brain diseases, but not glioma, the most common type of brain tumor. We utilized multiple glioma single-cell RNA sequencing datasets and bulk data from the TCGA and CGGA and conducted GSEA and KEGG and GO analyses. Biomarker potential was tested via ROC curve analysis. Radar plots were used to study TMB and MSI correlations. Immune cell studies were conducted using CIBERSORT. All statistical analyses were performed in R software and GraphPad Prism 9. CYTH4 was overexpressed in the glioma macrophage population in several single-cell RNA sequencing datasets and was most correlated with M2 macrophages. CYTH4 expression was higher in tumor tissues and was correlated with survival and WHO grade. ROC curves suggested CYTH4 overexpression to be a potential glioma biomarker. GSEA results indicated a relationship between CYTH4 and apoptosis, and PPI analysis supported a pyroptosis correlation. KEGG and GO analysis results linked CYTH4 with antigen processing and presentation and neutrophil activities. In summary, the study identified a CYTH4/pyroptosis/M2 macrophage axis. CYTH4 was upregulated in M2 macrophages in glioma and affected pyroptosis. CYTH4 overexpression is a potential biomarker predicting a poor prognosis.
