Identification and Validation of an Immune and Ferroptosis-Combined Index for Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Background: Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is among the major health problems around the world. Reliable biomarkers for NSCLC are still needed in clinical practice. We aimed to develop a novel ferroptosis- and immune-based index for NSCLC.Methods: The training and testing datasets were obtained...

Reliable biomarkers for NSCLC are still needed in clinical practice. We aimed to develop a novel ferroptosis- and immune-based index for NSCLC.Methods: The training and testing datasets were obtained from TCGA and GEO databases, respectively. Immune- and ferroptosis-related genes were identified and used to establish a prognostic model. Then, the prognostic and therapeutic potential of the established index was evaluated.Results: Intimate interaction of immune genes with ferroptosis genes was observed. A total of 32 prognosis-related signatures were selected to develop a predictive model for NSCLC using LASSO Cox regression. Patients were classified into the high- and low-risk group based on the risk score. Patients in the low-risk group have better OS in contrast with that in the high-risk group in independent verification datasets. Besides, patients with a high risk score have shorter OS in all subgroups (T, N, and M0 subgroups) and pathological stages (stage I, II, and III). The risk score was positively associated with Immune Score, Stromal Score, and Ferroptosis Score in TCGA and GEO cohorts. A differential immune cell infiltration between the high-risk and the low-risk groups was also observed. Finally, we explored the significance of our model in tumor-related pathways, and different enrichment levels in the therapeutic pathway were observed between the high- and low-risk groups.Conclusion: The present study developed an immune and ferroptosis-combined index for the prognosis of NSCLC.Yang TengBo WangDesi ShangNing YangNing YangFrontiers Media S.A.articleNSCLCbiomarkersbioinformatics analysismicroenvironment non–small cell lung cancerimmuneprognosisGeneticsQH426-470ENFrontiers in Genetics, Vol 12 (2021)
