Aim: To find biomarkers for immunity and immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) through multiomics analysis. Materials & methods: The multiomics data of patients with LUAD were downloaded from the TCGA and GEO databases. CIBERSORT, quanTIseq, ESTIMATEScore, k-means clustering, gene set enrichment analysis, gene set variation analysis, immunophenoscore and logistic regression were used in this study. Results: PSMB8 HypoMet-HighExp group patients have more active immune-related pathways, more antitumor immune cells, less protumor immune cells, higher immunophenoscore and longer progression-free survival of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy than HyperMet-LowExp group. In multivariate analysis, PSMB8 showed an independent value. Conclusion: The combination of DNA methylation and mRNA expression of PSMB8 could independently distinguish types of tumor immune microenvironment and predict programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death-ligand 1 inhibitors' effects in patients with LUAD.
