Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks as the fourth most common cause of mortality globally among all cancer types. Programmed cell death (PCD) is a crucial biological mechanism governing cancer progression, tumor expansion, and metastatic dissemination. Furthermore, the tumor microenvironment (TME) is critical in influencing overall survival (OS) and immune responses to immunotherapeutic interventions. From a multi-omics perspective, the combination of PCD and TME could help to predict the survival of HCC patient survival and immunotherapy response. Our study analyzed variations in the PCD- and TME-classifier used in the classification of HCC patients into two subgroups: PCD high-TME low and PCD low-TME high. In the following step, we compared the tumor somatic mutation (TMB), immunotherapy response, and functional annotation of both groups of patients. Lastly, Western Blot (WB) were conducted. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). In the PCD-TME classifier, 23 PCD-related genes and three immune cell types were identified. Patients' prognoses and responses to therapy could be accurately predicted using this model. The findings of this study provide a new instrument for the clinical management of HCC patients, and they contribute to the development of accurate treatment strategies for these patients.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Chemistry is a high visiblity and quality journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the chemical sciences. Field Chief Editor Steve Suib at the University of Connecticut is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to academics, industry leaders and the public worldwide.
Chemistry is a branch of science that is linked to all other main fields of research. The omnipresence of Chemistry is apparent in our everyday lives from the electronic devices that we all use to communicate, to foods we eat, to our health and well-being, to the different forms of energy that we use. While there are many subtopics and specialties of Chemistry, the fundamental link in all these areas is how atoms, ions, and molecules come together and come apart in what some have come to call the “dance of life”.
All specialty sections of Frontiers in Chemistry are open-access with the goal of publishing outstanding research publications, review articles, commentaries, and ideas about various aspects of Chemistry. The past forms of publication often have specific subdisciplines, most commonly of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistries, but these days those lines and boxes are quite blurry and the silos of those disciplines appear to be eroding. Chemistry is important to both fundamental and applied areas of research and manufacturing, and indeed the outlines of academic versus industrial research are also often artificial. Collaborative research across all specialty areas of Chemistry is highly encouraged and supported as we move forward. These are exciting times and the field of Chemistry is an important and significant contributor to our collective knowledge.
