Abstract

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a form of cell death that stimulates the immune system to produce an immune response by releasing tumour-associated antigens and tumour-specific antigens and is considered to play an important role in tumour immunotherapy. In the present study, we identified two ICD-related subtypes in osteosarcoma (OS) by consensus clustering. The ICD-low subtype was associated with favourable clinical outcomes, abundant immune cell infiltration, and high activity of immune response signalling. We also established and validated an ICD-related prognostic model, which could not only be used to predict the overall survival of OS patients but was also found to be closely related to the tumour immune microenvironment of OS patients. Overall, we established a new classification system for OS based on ICD-related genes, which can be used to predict the prognosis of OS patients and to select appropriate immunotherapy drugs.
