Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 35-40% of lung cancers, and the overall survival time of patients with LUAD is still very poor. B cells are important effector cells of adaptive immunity, and B-cell infiltration increases in various tumors. The role of B cells in LUAD is still largely unknown. Therefore, it is particularly important to clarify the role of B cells in LUAD. GSE164983, GSE50081, GSE37745 and GSE30219 were obtained from the GEO database. The TCGA-LUAD dataset was obtained from the TCGA database. UMAP was used to perform clustering descending and subgroup identification on single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to obtain B-cell markers. The TCGA cohort was used to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs). B-cell-related differentially expressed genes (BRGs) were identified through the intersection of B-cell markers and DEGs. The LASSO method was used to identify characteristic genes of BRGs and construct a prognostic risk model. LUAD patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on risk scores, and the immune landscape of the two groups was evaluated. We also analyzed the differences in clinical characteristics, mutations, immunotherapy, and drug sensitivity between the two groups. Thirty BRGs were obtained, and 6 characteristic genes were identified. Based on the characteristic genes, a prognostic risk model was constructed. According to the prognostic risk model, LUAD patients were divided into two groups: high-risk group and low-risk group. Patients in the high-risk group had worse outcomes and shorter survival times. Low-risk patients had better survival, while patients with high TNM stage accounted for a greater proportion of patients in the high-risk group. In addition, high-risk patients had a greater probability of mutation and worse immunotherapy response. Finally, we found different susceptibility profiles between the high-risk and low-risk groups. The prognostic risk model built based on the BRGs had good predictive performance, providing a new perspective on the prognosis and immunotherapy of LUAD patients and a new reference for LUAD research.
肺腺癌(LUAD)是肺癌最常见的类型,约占肺癌的35%-40%,且LUAD患者的总生存时间仍然很差。B细胞是适应性免疫的重要效应细胞,在各种肿瘤中B细胞浸润增加。B细胞在LUAD中的作用仍 largely未知。因此,阐明B细胞在LUAD中的作用尤为重要。从GEO数据库获得了GSE164983、GSE50081、GSE37745和GSE30219。从TCGA数据库获得了TCGA-LUAD数据集。使用UMAP对单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)数据进行聚类降维和亚组鉴定以获得B细胞标志物。使用TCGA队列获得差异表达基因(DEG)。通过B细胞标志物与DEG的交集鉴定B细胞相关差异表达基因(BRG)。使用LASSO方法鉴定BRG的特征基因并构建预后风险模型。根据风险评分将LUAD患者分为高风险组和低风险组,并评估两组的免疫格局。我们还分析了两组之间临床特征、突变、免疫治疗和药物敏感性的差异。获得了30个BRG,并鉴定出6个特征基因。基于这些特征基因构建了预后风险模型。根据预后风险模型,将LUAD患者分为两组:高风险组和低风险组。高风险组患者的预后较差且生存时间较短。低风险患者的生存率较高,而高TNM分期的患者在高风险组中占比更大。此外,高风险患者发生突变的概率更高且免疫治疗反应更差。最后,我们发现高风险组和低风险组之间存在不同的易感性特征。基于BRG构建的预后风险模型具有良好的预测性能,为LUAD患者的预后和免疫治疗提供了新的视角,也为LUAD研究提供了新的参考。
