Pan-cancer landscape of disulfidptosis across human tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered disulfide stress-induced cell death form. Clinical significance and biological mechanisms of disulfidptosis in human cancers need to be further elucidated. Thus, this study was designed to characterize pan-cancer landscape of disulfidptosis across human tumors.

Methods

Multi-omics features (transcriptomics, genomics, and DNA methylation) of disulfidptosis genes were investigated in TCGA pan-cancer cohorts. A disulfidptosis score system was defined across human tumors via ssGSEA. The activity of classical oncogenic pathways and hallmarks of cancer as well as the infiltration of immunocyte subpopulations were estimated, respectively. Drug sensitivity was inferred, and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response was evaluated in an i
