Construction and analysis of a novel ferroptosis-related gene signature predicting prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis is a newly discovered, iron-dependent, nonapoptotic form of programmed cell death that plays an important role in the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In this study, ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) were identified from the FerrDb dataset, and the mRNA expression profiles and corresponding clinical data of LUAD patients were downloaded from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) databases. Data from LUAD patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset were used as the verification set. Cox and Lasso regression analyses were used to screen the FRGs with prognostic value, and six prognostic-related FRGs were selected to construct prognostic risk score signatures. Immunohistochemistry was utilized to manifest the differential expression of six FRGs in tu
