Purpose:
This study aims to establish a risk prediction model based on prognosis-related genes (PRGs) and clinicopathological factors, and investigate the biological activities of PRGs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods:
Risk score signatures were developed by employing multiple algorithms and their amalgamations. A predictive model for overall survival was established through the integration of risk score signatures and several clinicopathological parameters. A comprehensive single-cell atlas, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) were used to investigate the biological activities of prognosis-related genes in LUAD.
Results:
A risk prediction model was established based on 16 PRGs, exhibiting robust performance in predicting overall survival. The single-cell analysis revealed that epithelial cells were primarily associated with worse survival of LUAD, and PRGs were predominantly enriched in malignant epithelial cells and influenced epithelial cell growth and progression. Furthermore, GSEA and GSVA analysis showed that PRGs were involved in tumor pathways such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition, hypoxia and KRAS_UP, and high GSVA scores are correlated with worse outcome in LUAD patients.
Conclusions:
The constructed risk prediction model in this study offers clinicians a valuable tool for tailoring treatment strategies of LUAD and provides a comprehensive interpretation on the biological activities of PRGs in LUAD.
