BACKGROUND: Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) often develop a poor prognosis. Currently, researches on prognostic and immunotherapeutic capacity of aneuploidy-related genes in LUAD are limited. METHODS: Genes related to aneuploidy were screened based on bulk RNA sequencing data from public databases using Spearman method. Next, univariate Cox and Lasso regression analyses were performed to establish an aneuploidy-related riskscore (ARS) model. Results derived from bioinformatics analysis were further validated using cellular experiments. In addition, typical LUAD cells were identified by subtype clustering, followed by SCENIC and intercellular communication analyses. Finally, ESTIMATE, ssGSEA and CIBERSORT algorithms were employed to analyze the potential relationship between ARS and tumor immune environment. RESULTS: A five-gene ARS signature was developed. These genes were abnormally high-expressed in LUAD cell lines, and in particular the high expression of CKS1B promoted the proliferative, migratory and invasive phenotypes of LUAD cell lines. Low ARS group had longer overall survival time, higher degrees of inflammatory infiltration, and could benefit more from receiving immunotherapy. Patients in low ASR group responded more actively to traditional chemotherapy drugs (Erlotinib and Roscovitine). The scRNA-seq analysis annotated 17 cell subpopulations into seven cell clusters. Core transcription factors (TFs) such as CREB3L1 and CEBPD were enriched in high ARS cell group, while TFs such as BCLAF1 and UQCRB were enriched in low ARS cell group. CellChat analysis revealed that high ARS cell groups communicated with immune cells SPP1 (ITGA4-ITGB1) and MK (MDK-NCl) signaling pathways. CONCLUSION: In this research, integrative analysis based on the ARS model provided a potential direction for improving the diagnosis and treatment of LUAD.
背景:肺腺癌(LUAD)患者常预后不良。目前,LUAD 中关于非整倍体相关基因的预后和免疫治疗能力的研究有限。
方法:基于公共数据库中的批量 RNA 测序数据,使用 Spearman 方法筛选与非整倍体相关的基因。接下来,进行单变量 Cox 和 Lasso 回归分析,建立非整倍体相关风险评分(ARS)模型。生物信息学分析的结果进一步通过细胞实验进行验证。此外,通过亚群聚类鉴定出典型的 LUAD 细胞,然后进行 SCENIC 和细胞间通讯分析。最后,采用 ESTIMATE、ssGSEA 和 CIBERSORT 算法分析 ARS 与肿瘤免疫环境之间的潜在关系。
结果:构建了一个由五个基因组成的 ARS 特征模型。这些基因在 LUAD 细胞系中异常高表达,特别是 CKS1B 的高表达促进了 LUAD 细胞系的增殖、迁移和侵袭表型。低 ARS 组的总生存时间更长,炎症浸润程度更高,从免疫治疗中获益更多。低 ARS 组的患者对传统化疗药物(厄洛替尼和罗司维汀)的反应更为活跃。scRNA-seq 分析将 17 个细胞亚群注释为七个细胞簇。高 ARS 细胞群中富集了核心转录因子(TFs)如 CREB3L1 和 CEBPD,而低 ARS 细胞群中则富集了 TFs 如 BCLAF1 和 UQCRB。CellChat 分析显示,高 ARS 细胞群与免疫细胞 SPP1(ITGA4-ITGB1)和 MK(MDK-NCl)信号通路进行了交流。
结论:本研究基于 ARS 模型的综合分析为改善 LUAD 的诊断和治疗提供了潜在方向。
