Lung cancer, specifically the histological subtype lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), has the highest global occurrence and fatality rate. Extensive research has indicated that RNA alterations encompassing m6A, m5C, and m1A contribute actively to tumorigenesis, drug resistance, and immunotherapy responses in LUAD. Nevertheless, the absence of a dependable predictive model based on m6A/m5C/m1A-associated genes hinders accurately predicting the prognosis of patients diagnosed with LUAD. In this study, we collected patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and identified genes related to m6A/m5C/m1A modifications using the GeneCards database. The "ConsensusClusterPlus" R package was used to produce molecular subtypes by utilizing genes relevant to m6A/m5C/m1A identified through differential expression and univariate Cox analyses. An independent prognostic factor was identified by constructing a prognostic signature comprising six genes (SNHG12, PABPC1, IGF2BP1, FOXM1, CBFA2T3, and CASC8). Poor overall survival and elevated expression of human leukocyte antigens and immune checkpoints were correlated with higher risk scores. We examined the associations between the sets of genes regulated by m6A/m5C/m1A and the risk model, as well as the immune cell infiltration, using algorithms such as ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, TIMER, ssGSEA, and exclusion (TIDE). Moreover, we compared tumor stemness indices (TSIs) by considering the molecular subtypes related to m6A/m5C/m1A and risk signatures. Analyses were performed based on the risk signature, including stratification, somatic mutation analysis, nomogram construction, chemotherapeutic response prediction, and small-molecule drug prediction. In summary, we developed a prognostic signature consisting of six genes that have the potential for prognostication in patients with LUAD and the design of personalized treatments that could provide new versions of personalized management for these patients.
肺癌,特别是组织学亚型肺腺癌(LUAD),具有最高的全球发生率和死亡率。广泛的研究表明,RNA 改变包括 m6A、m5C 和 m1A,积极促进 LUAD 的肿瘤发生、耐药性和免疫治疗反应。然而,缺乏基于 m6A/m5C/m1A 相关基因的可靠预测模型,阻碍了对 LUAD 患者预后的准确预测。在这项研究中,我们从癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)中收集了患者数据,并使用基因卡片数据库确定了与 m6A/m5C/m1A 修饰相关的基因。使用“ConsensusClusterPlus”R 包,通过利用差异表达和单变量 Cox 分析鉴定的与 m6A/m5C/m1A 相关的基因,产生分子亚型。通过构建包含六个基因(SNHG12、PABPC1、IGF2BP1、FOXM1、CBFA2T3 和 CASC8)的预后特征来确定独立的预后因素。高风险评分与总生存率降低和人类白细胞抗原和免疫检查点表达升高相关。我们使用 ESTIMATE、CIBERSORT、TIMER、ssGSEA 和排除(TIDE)等算法检查了受 m6A/m5C/m1A 调节的基因集与风险模型以及免疫细胞浸润之间的关系。此外,我们通过考虑与 m6A/m5C/m1A 和风险特征相关的分子亚型来比较肿瘤干细胞指数(TSI)。基于风险特征进行分析,包括分层、体细胞突变分析、诺莫图构建、化疗反应预测和小分子药物预测。总之,我们开发了一个由六个基因组成的预后特征,该特征有可能预测 LUAD 患者的预后,并设计了个性化治疗方案,为这些患者提供新的个性化管理版本。
