The exact mechanism of action of disulfidptosis in pancreatic cancer (PCa) is not clear. This study analyzed the impact of disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) on the prognosis of PCa and identified clusters of DRGs, and based on this, a risk score (RS) signature was developed to assess the impact of RS on the prognosis, immune and chemotherapeutic response of PCa patients. Based on transcriptomic data and clinical information from PCa tissue and normal pancreatic tissue samples obtained from the TCGA and GTEx databases, differentially expressed and differentially surviving DRGs in PCa were identified from among 15 DRGs. Two DRGs clusters were identified by consensus clustering by merging the PCa samples in the GSE183795 dataset. Analysis of DRGs clusters about the PCa tumor microenvironment and differential analysis to obtain differential genes between the two DRG clusters. Patients were then randomized into the training and testing sets, and a prognostic prediction signature associated with disulfidptosis was constructed in the training set. Then all samples were divided into high-disulfidptosis-risk (HDR) and low-disulfidptosis-risk (LDR) subgroups based on the RS calculated from the signature. The predictive efficacy of the signature was assessed by survival analysis, nomograms, correlation analysis of clinicopathological characteristics, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. To assess differences between different risk subgroups in immune cell infiltration, expression of immune checkpoint molecules, somatic gene mutations, and effectiveness of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The GSE57495 dataset was used as external validation, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of DRGs. A total of 12 DRGs with differential expression and prognosis in PCa were identified, based on which a risk-prognosis signature containing five differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was developed. The signature was a good predictor and an independent risk factor. The nomogram and calibration curve shows the signature's excellent clinical applicability. Functional enrichment analysis showed that RS was associated with tumor and immune-related pathways. RS was strongly associated with the tumor microenvironment, and analysis of response to immunotherapy and chemotherapy suggests that the signature can be used to assess the sensitivity of treatments. External validation further demonstrated the model's efficacy in predicting the prognosis of PCa patients, with RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical maps visualizing the expression of each gene in PCa cell lines and the tissue. Our study is the first to apply the subtyping model of disulfidptosis to PCa and construct a signature based on the disulfidptosis subtype, which can provide an accurate assessment of prognosis, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy response in PCa patients, providing new targets and directions for the prognosis and treatment of PCa.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Subsequently, we constructed the prognostic risk signature associated with disulfidptosis using Lasso and multivariate Cox (Lasso–Cox) regression analysis.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:38097783", "locator": "sections[7] \"Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the disulfidptosis subtypes and the establishment of a prognostic signature\" paragraph 2", "quote": "Subsequently, we constructed the prognostic risk signature associated with disulfidptosis using Lasso and multivariate Cox (Lasso–Cox) regression analysis."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The data used to support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon request.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:38097783", "locator": "sections[34] \"notes\" paragraph 1", "quote": "The data used to support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon request."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-target-result", "statement": "A total of 12 DRGs with differential expression and prognosis in PCa were identified, based on which a risk-prognosis signature containing five differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was developed.", "kind": "qualitative", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:38097783", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "A total of 12 DRGs with differential expression and prognosis in PCa were identified, based on which a risk-prognosis signature containing five differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was developed."}, {"asset": "source:pmid:38097783", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 1", "quote": "The signature was a good predictor and an independent risk factor."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "complete", "objective": "A total of 12 DRGs with differential expression and prognosis in PCa were identified, based on which a risk-prognosis signature containing five differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was developed.", "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:38097783"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
