Identification and characterization of interferon-γ signaling-based personalized heterogeneity and therapeutic strategies in patients with pancreatic cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a key cytokine with diverse biological functions, including antiviral defense, antitumor activity, immune regulation, and modulation of cellular processes. Nonetheless, its role in pancreatic cancer (PC) therapy remains debated. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore the role of Interferon-γ related genes (IFN-γGs) in the progression of PC development.

Methodology

Transcriptomic data from 930 PC were sourced from TCGA, GEO, ICGC, and ArrayExpress, and 93 IFN-γGs were obtained from the MSigDB. We researched the characteristics of IFN-γGs in pan-cancer. Subsequently, the cohort of 930 PC was stratified into two distinct subgroups using the NMF algorithm. We then examined disparities in the activation of cancer-associated pathways within these
