Introduction:
Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumors, with complicated etiology and poor prognosis. However, there is still a lack of specific biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment for glioma patients. Hence, the purpose of this study was to screen biomarkers for prognostic assessment and therapeutic interventions in gliomas.

Material and methods:
We utilized The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases to investigate the role of colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) in glioma. Data analysis was conducted using R, GEPIA 2, TISCH and DepMap.

Results:
CSF3R was up-regulated in glioma and associated with the clinical pathological features of the patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated a significant association between the expression of CSF3R and prognosis in patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses revealed that patients with high expression of CSF3R have a worse prognosis, and the expression of CSF3R was an independent prognostic factor in gliomas. The nomogram constructed based on the expression of CSF3R demonstrated lower 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) in patients with high CSF3R expression. The biological functional analysis of CSF3R demonstrated its association with various immune regulatory signals. Furthermore, CSF3R was linked to the expression of immune checkpoints and resistance to immunotherapy. Notably, CSF3R was predominantly detected in monocytes/macrophages.

Conclusions:
Our study suggested that CSF3R might potentially function as an independent prognostic factor for glioma and hold promise as a biomarker and target for immunotherapy in glioma.
