Collagen type I alpha 1(COL1A1) is the main component of type I collagen. Although there are many reports about abnormal expression of COL1A1 in various tumors, specific role and clinical significance of COL1A1 in LGG have not yet been elucidated. In this work, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource database was used for detecting the expression level of COL1A1 in cancer and normal tissues, and aimed to explore the relationship between COL1A1 and tumor immune infiltration. We applied Kaplan-Meier to analyze the role of COL1A1 in clinical prognosis. Univariate survival rate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to compare clinical characteristics and survival rate. The relativity between the expression of COL1A1 and the tumor microenvironment was evaluated using ESTIMATE algorithm. Finally, the relationship between expression level of COL1A1 and gene marker sets of immune cell infiltration was investigated via TIMER. According to TCGA, COL1A1 overexpression was correlated with overall survival (OS), progression free interval (PFI) and disease specific survival (DSS) of multiple tumors, especially in LGG. Multivariate analysis showed that COL1A1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for LGG. The expression of COL1A1 was positively correlated with the infiltration of CD4 + T and CD8 + T cells, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells in LGG. In addition, there was a strong correlation between expression of COL1A1 and different immune marker sets in LGG. The results suggest that COL1A1 is related with tumor immune infiltration of LGG.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0269533","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,5]],"date-time":"2022-07-05T17:32:25Z","timestamp":1657042345000},"page":"e0269533","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Identification
