Cuprotosis-related signature predicts overall survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cuprotosis is a new form of programmed cell death induced by copper. We explored the correlation of cuprotosis with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and constructed a cuprotosis-related signature to predict the prognosis of patients with ccRCC. Methods: The clinical and transcriptomic data of ccRCC patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), cBioPortal, and GEO databases, and cuprotosis-related gene sets were contained in the previous study. A cuprotosis-related signature was developed based on data from TCGA and verified by data from cBioPortal and GEO databases. The immune cell infiltrates and the corresponding signature risk scores were investigated. Two independent cohorts of clinical trials were analyzed to explore the correlation of
