| description | <h4>Background</h4> Ferroptosis has exhibited great potential in the treatment of cancer and has gained widespread attention in soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The aim was to explore the immunological and prognostic significance of novel ferroptosis-related genes in STS. <h4>Methods</h4> We identified ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in STS to construct the networks of enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction. Subsequently, hub genes with prognostic significance were localized and a series of prognostic and immune analyses were performed. <h4>Results</h4> 40 ferroptosis-related DEGs were identified, of which HELLS, STMN1 EPAS1, CXCL2, NQO1, and IL6 were classified as hub genes and were associated with the prognosis in STS patients. In the results of the immune analysis, PDCD1, CTLA4, TIGIT, IDO1 and CD27 exhibited consistent intense correlations as immune checkpoint genes, as well as macrophage, neutrophil, cytotoxic cell, dendritic cell, interdigitating dendritic cell and plasmacytoid dendritic cell as immune cells. EPAS1 and HELLS might be independent prognostic factors for STS patients, and separate prognostic models were constructed by using them. <h4>Conclusions</h4> We recognized novel ferroptosis-related genes with prognostic value in STS. Furthermore, we searched out potential immune checkpoints and critical immune cells. |
