Gliomas, the most prevalent and lethal form of brain cancer, are known to exhibit metabolic alterations that facilitate tumor growth, invasion, and resistance to therapies. Peroxisomes, essential organelles responsible for fatty acid oxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, rely on the receptor PEX5 for the import of metabolic enzymes into their matrix. However, the prognostic significance of peroxisomal enzymes for glioma patients remains unclear. In this study, we elucidate that PEX5 is indispensable for the cell growth, migration, and invasion of glioma cells. We establish a robust prognosis model based on the expression of peroxisomal enzymes, whose localization relies on PEX5. This PEX5-dependent signature not only serves as a robust prognosis model capable of accurately predicting outcomes for glioma patients, but also effectively distinguishes several clinicopathological features, including the grade, isocitrate dehydrogenase () mutation, and 1p19q codeletion status. Furthermore, we developed a nomogram that integrates the prognostic model with other clinicopathological factors, demonstrating highly accurate performance in estimating patient survival. Patients classified into the high-risk group based on our prognostic model exhibited an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Finally, our validation reveals that the elevated expression of , an antioxidant enzyme within the signature, promotes the cell growth and migration of glioma cells, with this effect dependent on the peroxisomal targeting signal recognized by PEX5. These findings identify the PEX5-dependent signature as a promising prognostic tool for gliomas.
