- Abstract
Objectives: Comprehensive cross-interaction of multiple programmed cell death (PCD) patterns in the patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have not yet been thoroughly investigated., Methods: Here, we collected 19 different PCD patterns, including 1911 PCD-related genes, and developed an immune-derived multiple programmed cell death index (MPCDI) based on machine learning methods., Results: Using the median MPCDI scores, we categorized the LUAD patients into two groups: low-MPCDI and high-MPCDI. Our analysis of the TCGA-LUAD training cohort and three external GEO cohorts (GSE37745, GSE30219, and GSE68465) revealed that patients with high-MPCDI experienced a more unfavorable prognosis, whereas those with low-MPCDI had a better prognosis. Furthermore, the results of both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses further confirmed that MPCDI serves as a novel independent risk factor. By combining clinical characteristics with the MPCDI, we constructed a nomogram that provides an accurate and reliable quantitative tool for personalized clinical management of LUAD patients. The findings obtained from the analysis of C-index and the decision curve revealed that the nomogram outperformed various clinical variables in terms of net clinical benefit. Encouragingly, the low-MPCDI patients are more sensitive to commonly used chemotherapy drugs, which suggests that MPCDI scores have a guiding role in chemotherapy for LUAD patients., Conclusion: Therefore, MPCDI can be used as a novel clinical diagnostic classifier, providing valuable insights into the clinical management and clinical decision-making for LUAD patients., (© 2024.
