Sumario:The immune microenvironment of liver cancer is of great significance for the treatment of liver cancer. After evaluating the content of mast cells resting in the transcriptome data of The Cancer Genome Atlas database by CIBERSORT analysis, this study aimed to group the samples according to the content of mast cells resting in different samples to find the differentially expressed genes in the two groups. Significant prognostic differences were found between high and low mast cells resting infiltration groups. The prognostic model was constructed according to the differentially expressed genes. The model was validated using external independent datasets. The results revealed that the constructed model was reliable. It could well distinguish the prognostic differences of patients in different characteristic groups. The high-risk group was mainly concentrated in metabolic pathways. The risk score of this model was closely related to some immune cells, immune function, and immune checkpoints. Therefore, this model may provide new ideas for immunotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.
