Integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing and bulk RNA-sequencing data to explore the role of mitophagy-related genes in prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy of the male urinary system. Mitophagy, as a type of autophagy, can remove damaged mitochondria in cells. Mitophagy-related genes (MRGs) have been shown to play critical roles in the development of PCa. To this end, based on the comprehensive analysis of RNA-seq and scRNA-seq data of PCa samples and their controls, this paper identified PCa subtypes and constructed a prognostic model. In this paper, we downloaded scRNA-seq and RNA-seq data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and TCGA database. Based on the R package "Seurat" to process the scRNA-seq data, a total of five cell types were identified. Each cell population was scored based on the R package "AUCell" and using the intersection genes between MRGs and each cell population. The B ce
