ABSTRACT: Background
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the main subtype of NSCLC, has a poor prognosis. In recent years, circadian rhythm (CR)-related genes (CRRGs) have demonstrated associations with tumor occurrence and development, but the relationship between CRRGs and LUAD is not clear. Because of the correlation between CRRGs and tumors, we have reason to believe that CRRGs will become an important prognostic indicator for LUAD and guide the treatment of LUAD prognosis.Methods
Based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, we explored the biological function and immune cell infiltration of LUAD in different CR clusters and quantified CR genes using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, we built a CR scoring system (CRscore) to explore the relationship between CRRGs and LUAD prognosis.Results
Patients were divided into three clusters (A, B, and C). Biological characteristics, such as survival, immune cell infiltration, and gene enrichment, were significantly different among the three clusters (P<0.001). We then established the usefulness of the CR score, which could probably predict the prognosis of LUAD. Specifically, patients with a high CR score had a better prognosis and were more sensitive to chemotherapy than those with a low CR score.Conclusions
It is possible to use CRRGs to assess the prognosis of patients with LUAD. Quantification of CR using the CRscore tool in patients with LUAD maybe help to guide personalized cancer immunotherapy strategies in the future. Thus, the CRscore may be a prognostic tool for LUAD.
