Establishment of a prognostic signature for lung adenocarcinoma by integration of 7 pyroptosis-related genes and cross-validation between the TCGA and GEO cohorts: A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) have been reported to be associated with prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Until now, the relationship of PRGs to the prognosis of LUAD patients and its underlying mechanisms have been poorly elucidated. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) LUAD cohort, a prior bioinformatics analysis constructed a prognostic signature incorporating 5 PRGs (NLRP7, NLRP1, NLRP2, NOD1, and CASP6) for predicting prognosis of LUAD patients. However, it has not been validated by the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) LUAD cohort yet. We implemented a modified bioinformatics analysis to, respectively, construct one prognostic signature with the TCGA cohort and with the GEO cohort and attempted to perform cross-validations by the GEO cohort and the TCGA cohort alternately in turn
