PANoptosis-related prognostic signature predicts overall survival of cutaneous melanoma and provides insights into immune infiltration landscape.

ABSTRACT: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a highly malignant tumor originating from melanocytes, and its metastasis and recurrence are the major causes of death in CM patients. PANoptosis is a newly defined inflammatory programmed cell death that crosstalk pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. PANoptosis participates in the regulation of tumor progression, especially the expression of PANoptosis related genes (PARGs). Although pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis have received attention in CM, respectively, the link between them remains elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role of PANoptosis and PARGs in CM and the relationship among PANoptosis, PARGs and tumor immunity. We identified 3 PARGs associated with prognosis in CM patients by The Cancer Genome Atlas.
