description Background and aimsAs a result of increasing numbers of studies most recently, mitophagy plays a vital function in the genesis of cancer. However, research on the predictive potential and clinical importance of mitophagy-related genes (MRGs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently lacking. This study aimed to uncover and analyze the mitophagy-related diagnostic biomarkers in HCC using machine learning (ML), as well as to investigate its biological role, immune infiltration, and clinical significance.MethodsIn our research, by using Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine- (SVM-) recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm, six mitophagy genes (ATG12, CSNK2B, MTERF3, TOMM20, TOMM22, and TOMM40) were identified from twenty-nine mitophagy genes, next, the algorithm of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) was used to separate the HCC patients into cluster A and B based on the six mitophagy genes. And there was evidence from multi-analysis that cluster A and B were associated with tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), clinicopathological features, and prognosis. After then, based on the DEGs (differentially expressed genes) between cluster A and cluster B, the prognostic model (riskScore) of mitophagy was constructed, including ten mitophagy-related genes (G6PD, KIF20A, SLC1A5, TPX2, ANXA10, TRNP1, ADH4, CYP2C9, CFHR3, and SPP1). ResultsThis study uncovered and analyzed the mitophagy-related diagnostic biomarkers in HCC using machine learning (ML), as well as to investigate its biological role, immune infiltration, and clinical significance. Based on the mitophagy-related diagnostic biomarkers, we constructed a prognostic model(riskScore). Furthermore, we discovered that the riskScore was associated with somatic mutation, TIME, chemotherapy efficacy, TACE and immunotherapy effectiveness in HCC patients.ConclusionMitophagy may play an important role in the development of HCC, and further research on this issue is necessary. Furthermore, the riskScore performed well as a standalone prognostic marker in terms of accuracy and stability. It can provide some guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC patients.
