Immunomodulatory Factor TIM3 of Cytolytic Active Genes Affected the Survival and Prognosis of Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients by Multi-Omics Analysis.

[] Using multi-omics research methods to explore cytolytic activity-related genes through the immunoregulatory factors HAVCR2 (TIM3) affecting the survival and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. [] We combined Cox single factor regression and lasso regression feature selection algorithm to screen out the key genes of cytolytic activity in lung adenocarcinoma, and applied multi-omics research to explore the clinical predictive value of the model, including onset risk, independent prognosis, clinical relevance, signal transduction pathways, drug sensitivity, and the correlation of immune regulatory factors, etc. TCGA data are used as the experimental group, and GEO data is used as the external data control group to verify the stability of the model. The survival curve was generated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank, and the Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis. In this study, 10 fresh tissue samples of lung adenocarcinoma were collected for cellular immunohistochemical experiments to analyze the expression of immunoregulatory factors in cancer tissues, and the key immunoregulatory factors were verified and screened out. [] A total of 450 genes related to cytolytic activity were differentially expressed, of which 273 genes were up-regulated and 177 genes were down-regulated. A total of 91 key genes related to cytolytic activity related to the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma were screened through Cox single factor regression. The ROC curve results showed that the AUC values of 1, 3, and 5 years in the training set and test set were all greater than 0.7, indicating that the model has a valid verification. The level of risk score is significantly related to the sensitivity of patients to AKT inhibitor VIII, Lenalidomide, and Tipifarnib. In addition, our study also found that receptor and MHC genes related to immunomodulatory, and chemokines, including HAVCR2, are more highly expressed in the low-risk group. [] HAVCR2 (TIM3) immunoregulatory factors affect the expression of key genes that affect cytolytic activity in lung adenocarcinoma cells, and to some extent indirectly affect the survival and prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
