Prognosis and personalized treatment prediction in lung adenocarcinoma: An in silico and in vitro strategy adopting cuproptosis related lncRNA towards precision oncology

Background: There is a rapid increase in lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD), and studies suggest associations between cuproptosis and the occurrence of various types of tumors. However, it remains unclear whether cuproptosis plays a role in LUAD prognosis.Methods: Dataset of the TCGA-LUAD was treated as tr...

description Background: There is a rapid increase in lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD), and studies suggest associations between cuproptosis and the occurrence of various types of tumors. However, it remains unclear whether cuproptosis plays a role in LUAD prognosis.Methods: Dataset of the TCGA-LUAD was treated as training cohort, while validation cohort consisted of the merged datasets of the GSE29013, GSE30219, GSE31210, GSE37745, and GSE50081. Ten studied cuproptosis-related genes (CRG) were used to generated CRG clusters and CRG cluster-related differential expressed gene (CRG-DEG) clusters. The differently expressed lncRNA that with prognosis ability between the CRG-DEG clusters were put into a LASSO regression for cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature (CRLncSig). Kaplan–Meier estimator, Cox model, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), time-dependent AUC (tAUC), principal component analysis (PCA), and nomogram predictor were further deployed to confirm the model’s accuracy. We examined the model’s connections with other forms of regulated cell death, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. The immunotherapy ability of the signature was demonstrated by applying eight mainstream immunoinformatic algorithms, TMB, TIDE, and immune checkpoints. We evaluated the potential drugs for high risk CRLncSig LUADs. Real-time PCR in human LUAD tissues were performed to verify the CRLncSig expression pattern, and the signature’s pan-cancer’s ability was also assessed.Results: A nine-lncRNA signature, CRLncSig, was built and demonstrated owning prognostic power by applied to the validation cohort. Each of the signature genes was confirmed differentially expressed in the real world by real-time PCR. The CRLncSig correlated with 2,469/3,681 (67.07%) apoptosis-related genes, 13/20 (65.00%) necroptosis-related genes, 35/50 (70.00%) pyroptosis-related genes, and 238/380 (62.63%) ferroptosis-related genes. Immunotherapy analysis suggested that CRLncSig correlated with immune status, and checkpoints, KIR2DL3, IL10, IL2, CD40LG, SELP, BTLA, and CD28, were linked closely to our signature and were potentially suitable for LUAD immunotherapy targets. For those high-risk patients, we found three agents, gemcitabine, daunorubicin, and nobiletin. Finally, we found some of the CRLncSig lncRNAs potentially play a vital role in some types of cancer and need more attention in further studies.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest our cuproptosis-related CRLncSig can help to determine the outcome of LUAD and the effectiveness of immunotherapy, as well as help to better select targets and therapeutic agents.
