Abstract
- Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered mode of cell death induced by disulfide stress. However, the prognostic value of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains to be further elucidated. In this study, consistent cluster analysis was used to classify 571 RCC samples into three DRG-related subtypes based on changes in DRGs expression. Through univariate regression analysis and LASSO-Cox regression analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among three subtypes, we constructed and validated a DRG risk score to predict the prognosis of patients with RCC, while also identifying three gene subtypes. Analysis of DRG risk score, clinical characteristics, tumor microenvironment (TME), somatic cell mutations, and immunotherapy sensitivity revealed significant correlations between them. A series of studies have shown that MSH3 can be a potential biomarker of RCC, and its low expression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with RCC. Last but not least, overexpression of MSH3 promotes cell death in two RCC cell lines under glucose starvation conditions, indicating that MSH3 is a key gene in the process of cell disulfidptosis. In summary, we identify potential mechanism of RCC progression through DRGs -related tumor microenvironment remodeling. In addition, this study has successfully established a new disulfidptosis-related genes prediction model and discovered a key gene MSH3. They may be new prognostic biomarkers for RCC patients, provide new insights for the treatment of RCC patients, and may inspire new methods for the diagnosis and treatment of RCC patients.
