Development and validation of a hypoxia-stemness-based prognostic signature in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is one of the most aggressive and fatal gastrointestinal malignancies with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accumulating evidence has revealed the clinical significance of the interaction between the hypoxic microenvironment and cancer stemness in pancreatic cancer progression and therapies. This study aims to identify a hypoxia-stemness index-related gene signature for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in PAAD. Methods: The mRNA expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi) data of PAAD samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were calculated based on the one-class logistic regression (OCLR) machine learning algorithm. Univariate Cox regression and LASSO regression analyses were then performed to establish
