Ferroptosis-Related Gene Signature Accurately Predicts Survival Outcomes in Patients With Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

As a type of regulated cell death induced by Ras selective lethal (RSL) compounds such as erasti, ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation to lethal levels. At present, little is known about the role of ferroptosis-related genes in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (c...

Zusammenfassung:As a type of regulated cell death induced by Ras selective lethal (RSL) compounds such as erasti, ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation to lethal levels. At present, little is known about the role of ferroptosis-related genes in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In the present study, the expression data of ferroptosis-related genes in ccRCC were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and COX regression analysis was performed to construct a risk model of ferroptosis prognostic signature. The GEO database was used to verify the accuracy of the model. The following findings were made: the results reveal that the prognostic signature constructed by 11 ferroptosis genes (CARS, CD44, DPP4, GCLC, HMGCR, HSPB1, NCOA4, SAT1, PHKG2, GOT1, HMOX1) was significantly related to the overall survival (OS) of ccRCC patients based on the lowest Akaike information criterion (AIC); multivariate analysis indicates that ferroptosis-related gene prognostic signature was an independent prognostic factor in ccRCC patients; the calibration curve and c-index value (0.77) demonstrate that the nomogram with the signature could predict the survival of ccRCC patients; and enrichment analysis shows that the high-risk group were enriched in humoral immunity and receptor interaction pathways. The aforementioned findings indicate that the ferroptosis-related gene signature can accurately predict the prognosis of ccRCC patients and provide valuable insights for individualized treatment.
