Abstract
Background: Protein information is often replaced by RNA data in studies to understand cancer-related biological processes or molecular functions, and proteins of prognostic significance in Kidney clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) remain to be mined. Methods: The cancer genome atlas program (TCGA) data was utilized to screen for proteins that are prognostically significant in KIRC. Machine learning algorithms were employed to develop protein prognostic models. Additionally, immune infiltration abundance, somatic mutation differences, and immunotherapeutic responses were analyzed in various protein risk subgroups. Ultimately, the validation of protein-coding genes was confirmed by utilizing an online database and implementing quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Results: The patients were divided into two risk categories based on prognostic proteins, and notable disparities in both overall survival (OS) and progression free interval (PFI) were observed between the two groups. The OS was more unfavorable in the high-risk group, and there was a noteworthy disparity in the level of immune infiltration observed between the two groups. In addition, the nomogram showed high accuracy in predicting survival in KIRC patients. Conclusion: In this research, we elucidated the core proteins associated with prognosis in terms of survival prediction, immunotherapeutic response, somatic mutation, and immune microenvironment. Additionally, we have developed a reliable prognostic model with excellent predictive capabilities.
