Development of a 5-Gene Signature to Evaluate Lung Adenocarcinoma Prognosis Based on the Features of Cancer Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) can induce recurrence and chemotherapy resistance of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Reliable markers identified based on CSC characteristic of LUAD may improve patients' chemotherapy response and prognosis. OCLR was used to calculate mRNA expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi) of LUAD patients' data in TCGA. Association analysis of mRNAsi was performed with clinical features, somatic mutation, and tumor immunity. A prognostic prediction model was established with LASSO Cox regression. Kaplan-Meier Plotter (KM-plotter) and time-dependent ROC were applied to assess signature performance. For LUAD, univariate and multivariate Cox analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors. LUAD tissues showed a noticeably higher mRNAsi in than nontumor tissues, a
