Recent studies have identified three different molecular subtypes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) mediated by ferroptosis-related genes, each with different prognoses. Analysis of tumor microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration revealed immune heterogeneity among these subtypes. The ferroptosis score can predict tumor subtype, immunity, and prognosis, and is associated with response to anti-PD-1/L1 immunotherapy in LUAD patients.
Recently, several molecular subtypes with different prognosis have been found in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the characteristics of the ferroptosis molecular subtypes and the associated tumor microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration have not been fully studied in LUAD. Using 1160 lung adenocarcinoma samples, we explored the molecular subtypes mediated by ferroptosis-related genes, along with the associated TME cell infiltration. The ferroptosis score was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO) method to quantify the ferroptosis characteristics of a single tumor. Three different molecular subtypes related to ferroptosis, with different prognoses, were identified in LUAD. Analysis of TME cell infiltration revealed immune heterogeneity among the three subtypes. Cluster A was characterized by immunosuppression and was associated with stromal activation. Cluster C was characterized by a large number of immune cells infiltrating the TME, promoting tumor immune response, and it was significantly enriched in immune activation-related signaling pathways. Relatively less infiltration of immune cells was a feature of cluster B. The ferroptosis score can predict tumor subtype, immunity and prognosis. A low ferroptosis score was characterized by immune activation and good prognosis, as seen in the cluster C subtype. Relative immunosuppression and poor prognosis were the characteristics of a high ferroptosis score, as seen in cluster A and B subtypes. At the same time, the anti-PD-1/L1 immunotherapy cohort demonstrated that a low ferroptosis score was associated with higher efficacy of immunotherapy. The ferroptosis score is a promising biomarker that could be of great significance to determine the prognosis, molecular subtypes, TME cell infiltration characteristics and immunotherapy effects in patients with LUAD.
