Sumario:Background: Oxidative stress is involved in regulating various biological processes in human cancers. However, the effect of oxidative stress on pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) remained unclear. Methods: Pancreatic cancer expression profiles from TCGA were downloaded. Consensus ClusterPlus helped classify molecular subtypes based on PAAD prognosis-associated oxidative stress genes. Limma package filtered differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between subtypes. A multi-gene risk model was developed using Lease absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso)-Cox analysis. A nomogram was built based on risk score and distinct clinical features. Results: Consistent clustering identified 3 stable molecular subtypes (C1, C2, C3) based on oxidative stress-associated genes. Particularly, C3 had the optimal prognosis with the greatest mutation frequency, activate cell cycle pathway in an immunosuppressed status. Lasso and univariate cox regression analysis selected 7 oxidative stress phenotype-associated key genes, based on which we constructed a robust prognostic risk model independent of clinicopathological features with stable predictive performance in independent datasets. High-risk group was found to be more sensitive to small molecule chemotherapeutic drugs including Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Erlotinib and Dasatinib. The 6 of 7 genes expressions were significantly associated with methylation. Survival prediction and prognostic model was further improved through a decision tree model by combining clinicopathological features with RiskScore. Conclusion: The risk model containing seven oxidative stress-related genes may have a greater potential to assist clinical treatment decision-making and prognosis determination.
