Sumario: | Increasingly attention is being given to immune molecules in pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study was to understand the potential clinical application of immune-regulated genes (IRGs) in the stratification of prognosis and to facilitate the development of personalized prognostic information for pancreatic cancer patients. We systematically used public data to comprehensively analyze immune-regulated gene pair (IRGP) expression profiles and clinical data. In our study, IRGP signature was identified to predict the overall survival (OS) of pancreatic cancer patients. We suggested that immune genes are enriched in different risk groups. In the high-risk group, M1 macrophages and resting NK cells were significantly enriched, while the percentages of naïve B cells, resting dendritic cells, CD8 T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) were significantly higher in the low-risk group, and we verified these results with immunohistochemical experiments. Gene ontology (GO) analysis confirmed that the IRGP index (IRGPI) signature genes in the cohort were mostly party to sensory perception of a chemical stimulus and the adaptive immune response. The identification of these pathways provides a basis for studying the molecular mechanisms of IRGPI signaling to predict the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Our study effectively constructed a robust IRGP signature with prognostic value for pancreatic cancer, presenting a conceivable method for deciding on a preoperative treatment. |
