Brain metastasis was one of the factors leading to the poor long-term prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
The expression levels of immune genes in LUAD and LUAD brain metastases tissues were analyzed in GSE161116 dataset using the GEO2R, and the levels of differential immune genes in normal lung and LUAD tissues were verified. The biological functions and signaling mechanisms of the differential immune genes were explored via Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis. Cox regression analysis was used to screen the prognostic factors of LUAD patients, and a risk model was constructed. The role of the model was checked in the development of LUAD via receiver operating characteristic analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, and Cox regression analysis.
Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in brain metastasis were involved in the adaptive immune response, B cell differentiation, leukocyte migration, NF-kB signaling pathway, among others. The expression levels of
, and
were independent factors affecting the poor prognosis of LUAD patients via Cox regression analysis and Akaike information criterion. In the constructed risk model, the overall survival of LUAD patients in the high-risk group was poor. The risk model was significantly related to the gender, clinical stage, T stage, lymph node metastasis, and survival status of LUAD patients. In addition, the risk model score was an independent risk factor that affected the poor prognosis of LUAD patients.
, and
of the risk factors had diagnostic significance in LUAD brain metastasis and LUAD. The risk model participated in cytokinetic process, cell cycle, citrate cycle TCA cycle, etc. The risk model score was correlated with the levels of B cells memory, mast cells resting, macrophages M0, mast cells activated, neutrophils, eosinophils, T cells gamma delta, and immune cell markers.
The risk model based on the LUAD brain metastasis immune factors
, and
was related to the diagnosis, poor prognosis, and immune infiltrating cells of LUAD patients, and is expected to provide a reference for the development of treatment strategies for LUAD patients.
