BACKGROUND
Severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) is one of the world's most common diseases and a major etiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Cuproptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death that can occur in various diseases.
METHODS
Our study explored the degree of immune cell infiltration during the onset of severe CAP and identified potential biomarkers related to cuproptosis. Gene expression matrix was obtained from GEO database indexed GSE196399. Three machine learning algorithms were applied: The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), the random forest, and the support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE). Immune cell infiltration was quantified by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) scoring. Nomogram was constructed to verify the applicability of using cuproptosis-related genes to predict the onset of severe CAP and its deterioration toward ARDS.
RESULTS
Nine cuproptosis-related genes were differentially expressed between the severe CAP group and the control group: ATP7B, DBT, DLAT, DLD, FDX1, GCSH, LIAS, LIPT1, and SLC31A1. All 13 cuproptosis-related genes were involved in immune cell infiltration. A three-gene diagnostic model was constructed to predict the onset of severe CAP: GCSH, DLD, and LIPT1.
CONCLUSION
Our study confirmed the involvement of the newly discovered cuproptosis-related genes in the progression of SCAP.
背景
严重社区获得性肺炎(SCAP)是世界上最常见的疾病之一,也是急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)的主要病因。铜死亡是一种新发现的细胞死亡形式,可发生在各种疾病中。
方法
本研究探讨了严重 CAP 发病时免疫细胞浸润的程度,并确定了与铜死亡相关的潜在生物标志物。从 GEO 数据库中获取基因表达矩阵,索引为 GSE196399。应用三种机器学习算法:最小绝对收缩和选择算子(LASSO)、随机森林和支持向量机递归特征消除(SVM-RFE)。通过单样本基因集富集分析(ssGSEA)评分量化免疫细胞浸润。构建列线图以验证使用铜死亡相关基因预测严重 CAP 发病及其向 ARDS 恶化的适用性。
结果
严重 CAP 组和对照组之间有 9 个铜死亡相关基因表达差异:ATP7B、DBT、DLAT、DLD、FDX1、GCSH、LIAS、LIPT1 和 SLC31A1。所有 13 个铜死亡相关基因都参与了免疫细胞浸润。构建了一个三基因诊断模型来预测严重 CAP 的发病:GCSH、DLD 和 LIPT1。
结论
本研究证实了新发现的铜死亡相关基因参与了 SCAP 的进展。
