Prognostic Value of Immunotyping Combined with Targeted Therapy in Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Establishment of Nomogram Model.

Abstract

Objective Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze non-small-cell lung cancer gene chip data, screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs), explore biomarkers related to NSCLC prognosis, provide new targets for the treatment of NSCLC, and build immunotyping and line-map model. Methods NSCLC-related gene chip data were downloaded from the GEO database, and the common DEGs of the two datasets were screened by using the GEO2R tool and FunRich 3.1.3 software. DAVID database was used for GO analysis and KEGG analysis of DEGs, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.8.0 software, and the top 20 hub genes were analyzed and screened out. The expression of pivot genes and their relationship with prognosis were verified by multiple external databases. Results 159 common DEGs were screened from the two datasets. PPI network was constructed and analyzed, and the genes with the top 20 connectivity were selected as the pivotal genes of this study. The results of survival analysis and the patients' survival curve was reflected in the line graph model of NSCLC. Conclusion Through the screening and identification of the VIM-AS1 gene, as well as the analysis of immune infiltration and immune typing, the successful establishment of the rosette model has a certain guiding value for the molecular targeted therapy of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.
