An aging-related signature predicts favorable outcome and immunogenicity in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Aging has been demonstrated to play vital roles in the prognosis and treatment efficacy of cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). This novel study aimed to construct an aging-related risk signature to evaluate the prognosis and immunogenicity of LUAD. Transcriptomic profiles and clinical information were collected from a total of 2518 LUAD patients from 12 independent cohorts. The risk signature was developed by combining specific gene expression with the corresponding regression coefficients. One cohort treated with the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) was also used. Subsequently, a risk signature was developed based on 21 aging-related genes. LUAD patients with low-risk scores exhibited improved survival outcomes in both the discovery and validation cohorts. Further immunology a
