Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) are crucial to cancer progression. Therefore, more studies on the relationship between ARGs and ESCC are warranted.\nMETHODS: The study acquired ESCC-related transcriptome data from TCGA. Differentially expressed ARGs (DE-ARGs) were obtained by differential analysis and candidates were filtered out by survival analysis. Prognostic genes were determined by Cox and LASSO regression. A risk model was constructed based on prognostic gene expressions. An immune infiltration study was done to explain how these genes contribute to ESCC development. The IC50 test was adopted to assess the clinical response of chemotherapy drugs. Single cell analysis was performed on the GSE145370 dataset. Moreover, the prognostic gene expressions were detected by qRT-PCR.\nRESULTS: 53 DE-ARGs were screened and four candidate genes including PBK, LAMC2, TNFSF10 and KL were obtained. Cox and LASSO regression identified the two prognostic genes, TNFSF10 and PBK. Immuno-infiltration analysis revealed positive associations of PBK with Macrophages M0 cells, and TNFSF10 with Macrophages M1 cells. The IC50 values of predicted drugs, in the case of Tozasertib 1096 and WIKI4 1940, were significantly variant between risk groups. Single cell analysis revealed that TNFSF10 and PBK levels were higher in epithelial cells than in other cells. The prognostic genes expression results by qRT-PCR were compatible with the dataset analysis.\nCONCLUSION: The study established an ARG prognosis model of ESCC.
