In the latest literatures, ferroptosis caused by T cells in cancerous cells provided new insights of improving curative effect of the PD-1/PD-L1 antibody. The microenvironment on which tumor cells develop and survive was also emphasized as its crucial role in tumor occurrence, development, metastasis and immune escape. Thus, the interaction of ferroptosis related genes and tumor microenvironment (TME) was urgently be detected in a comprehensive perspective. We comprehensively evaluated the transcriptional feature of ferroptosis related genes in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), and systematically associated these ferroptosis subtypes with DNA damage repair (DDR) and TME characteristics. We found two unique patterns of ferroptosis characterized by distinct biological pathways activation. We also demonstrated that FRG score constructed based on ferroptosis subtypes has a significant correlation with prognosis of colon cancer and could act as an independent prognostic biomarker for predicting patients’ survival. The higher immune infiltrating level, immune functional pathways activation was observed in the high FRG score group. Furthermore, these results were verified by an independent external GEO cohort. This work revealed ferroptosis was highly associated with TME complexity and diversity. A novel ferroptosis subtypes related gene scoring system can be used for prognostic prediction in COAD. Targeting ferroptosis may be a therapeutic alternative for COAD. |
