We screened for LASSO regression to construct a prognostic model of GSE131193 and PRGs and examined by GSE137482. The functional enrichment analysis of Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) were performed on pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) of GSE202659.The key modules for CIRI and pyroptosis were identified by Weight Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). Subsequently, Protein-protein Interaction (PPI) network and the Cytoscape was constructed to screen out hub genes. Used the starBase to predict miRNA interacting with hub genes and constructed mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA interaction networks. CIRI-related Molecular Subtypes were constructed for hub genes. The relationship between immune cells and hub genes was verified via CIBERSORT.

GO, KEGG, GSEA and GSVA analyses revealed that PRDEGs were mainly involved in positive regulation of cytokine production, and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. And then, seven hub genes (Irf1, Icam1, Tlr2, Tnf, Cebpb, Il1rn, and Casp8) were identified by PPI. Icam1, Tnf, Cebpb, Il1rn, and Casp8 had high expression profiles in Cluster2 by hierarchical clustering. The immune infiltration analysis results showed that among the hub genes, Cebpb, Il1rn, and Casp8, showed a significant positive correlation with the degree of NK.Actived, and Icam1 showed a significant negative correlation with B.Cells.Memory.
