Identification of pyroptosis-related subtypes, development of a prognostic model, and characterization of tumour microenvironment infiltration in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: As a new programmed death mode, pyroptosis plays an indispensable role in gastric cancer (GC) and has strong immunotherapy potential, but the specific pathogenic mechanism and antitumor function remain unclear. We comprehensively analysed the overall changes of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) at the genomic and epigenetic levels in 886 GC patients. We identified two molecular subtypes by consensus unsupervised clustering analysis. Then, we calculated the risk score and constructed the risk model for predicting prognostic and selected nine PRGs related genes (IL18RAP, CTLA4, SLC2A3, IL1A, KRT7,PEG10, IGFBP2, GPA33, and DES) through LASSO and COX regression analyses in the training cohorts and were verified in the test cohorts. Consequently, a highly accurate nomogram for improving the clini
