Integrated analysis of senescence-associated genes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cellular senescence plays a critical role in the occurrence and development, and immune modulation of cancer. This research primarily investigated the role of senescence-associated genes (SAGs) in the survival and tumor microenvironment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods: From the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database, the gene expression profiles and clinical data of PDAC samples were downloaded. SAGs in the TCGA cohort were used to build a novel prognostic model and validated in the ICGC cohort. The relationship of signature with the immune landscape, tumor mutational burden (TMB), as well as the sensitivity of different therapies, was explored. Moreover, a nomogram was developed to predict the ove
