摘要
目的探讨铁死亡相关基因对胰腺癌患者预后预测的价值,并进一步探索其分子机制。方法从公共数据库中下载胰腺癌患者的基因表达及相应的临床病理数据,采用R软件"limma"包筛选胰腺癌组织中差异表达基因,使用单因素COX回归分析筛选预后相关的铁死亡相关基因,利用LASSO COX回归分析构建预后模型。通过Kaplan-Meier生存分析检验该模型在预测胰腺癌预后中的意义,用ROC曲线评估模型预测胰腺癌预后的准确性。在ICGC验证队列中通过Kaplan-Meier生存分析、ROC曲线评估该模型在外部队列中的预测价值。依照风险值中位数,将TCGA训练队列分为两组,比较其基因表达差异、差异基因富集通路差异,评估免疫细胞浸润丰度。结果通过单因素COX回归分析,37个铁死亡相关基因被鉴定为预后基因(P<0.05)。利用LASSO COX回归分析,构建了一个基于15个铁死亡相关基因的预后预测模型。根据模型计算将队列中所有患者分为高风险组和低风险组,Kaplan-Meier生存分析表明高风险组的胰腺癌患者较低风险组生存时间短(HR=2.16,P<0.05)。ROC曲线分析证明了预测模型在胰腺癌预后预测中的准确性:ROC曲线下面积值分别为0.74(1年)、0.82(3年)、0.88(5年)。对高低风险组差异表达基因进行功能富集分析,发现两组胰腺癌患者免疫微环境之间存在差异,高风险组中幼稚B细胞、浆细胞、CD8^(+)T细胞浸润程度较低风险组低,但M0和M1巨噬细胞的浸润程度高(P<0.05)。此外,在PD-1和CTLA4在TCGA-PAAD队列低危组和高危组中的表达中,TCGA-PAAD队列低风险组患者中PD-1和CTLA4的表达水平较高风险组患者更高(P<0.05)。结论本研究构建了胰腺癌中铁死亡相关基因预后预测模型,具有预测胰腺癌患者预后的作用,并发现TCGA队列中高低风险组免疫微环境存在差异,可为免疫治疗提供参考。
Objective patients with pancreatic cancer,and further explore the potential molecular mechanism.MethodsGene expression and corresponding clinicopathological data of pancreatic cancer patients were downloaded from the public database.The differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer tissues were screened by R software“limma”package.Differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer tissues were verified by univariate COX regression analysis,and a prognostic model was established by LASSO COX regression analysis.We performed Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to examine the significance of the model in the prognosis of prediction pancreatic cancer.The accuracy of the model in the prognosis of prediction pancreatic cancer was analyzed by the ROC curve.In the ICGC verification queue,the predictive value of the model was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and ROC curve.Then we divided the TCGAPAAD cohort into two groups according to the risk value,compared the differences in gene expression and gene enrichment pathways,and evaluated the abundance of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.Results COX regression analysis.We constructed a prognostic model based on 15 iron death-related genes using LASSO COX regression analysis.According to the model calculation,all patients in the cohort were divided into the high-risk group and the low-risk group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested that the survival time of pancreatic cancer patients in the high-risk group was shorter than that in the low-risk group(HR=2.16,P<0.05).ROC curve analysis proved the accuracy of the predictive model in predicting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer(the area under the ROC curve were 0.74(1 year),0.82(3 years),and 0.88(5 years),respectively).Functional enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in the high-risk and low-risk groups showed that there were significant differences in immune microenvironment between the two groups.The infiltration degrees of B naive cells,plasma cells,and CD8^(+)T cells in the high
