We attempted to further explore the association between asthma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) via bioinformatics analysis. We obtained GSE143303 and GSE18842 from the GEO database. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) groups were downloaded from the TCGA database. Based on the results of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between asthma and NSCLC, we determined common DEGs by constructing a Venn diagram. Enrichment analysis was used to explore the common pathways of asthma and NSCLC. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to screen hub genes. KM survival analysis was performed to screen prognostic genes in the LUAD and LUSC groups. A Cox model was constructed based on hub genes and validated internally and externally. Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) was used to evaluate the association of prognostic gene models with the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune cell infiltration. Nomogram model was constructed by combining prognostic genes and clinical features. 114 common DEGs were obtained based on asthma and NSCLC data, and enrichment analysis showed that significant enrichment pathways mainly focused on inflammatory pathways. Screening of 5 hub genes as a key prognostic gene model for asthma progression to LUAD, and internal and external validation led to consistent conclusions. In addition, the risk score of the 5 hub genes could be used as a tool to assess the TME and immune cell infiltration. The nomogram model constructed by combining the 5 hub genes with clinical features was accurate for LUAD. Five-hub genes enrich our understanding of the potential mechanisms by which asthma contributes to the increased risk of lung cancer.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "The GEO online analysis tool, GEO2R, was used to analyze the DEGs between asthma data GSE143303 (GPL10558) and NSCLC data GSE18842 (GPL570).", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36820598", "locator": "sections[4] \"2.2.
