A novel pyroptosis scoring model was associated with the prognosis and immune microenvironment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The phenotype of pyroptosis has been extensively studied in a variety of tumors, but the relationship between pyroptosis and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. Here, 22 pyroptosis genes were downloaded from the website of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), 79 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma samples and GSE53625 containing 179 pairs of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma samples were collected from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), respectively. Then, pyroptosis subtypes of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were obtained by cluster analysis according to the expression difference of pyroptosis genes, and a pyroptosis scoring model was constructed by the pyroptosis-related genes screened from different pyroptosis subtypes.
