With the advent of immunotherapy, new therapeutic avenues have emerged in cancer treatment.ObjectiveOur focus aimed at developing a CD8+ T cell-based immune gene prognostic model (CDIGPM) for LUAD, shedding light on the immunological aspects and the potential advantages of immunotherapy in distinct CDIGPM-defined LUAD categories.MethodsData from LUAD patients were extracted from the TCGA and GEO databases (GSE11969). The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were intersected with immune genes from ImmPort and InnateDB, yielding 89 significant immune genes related to CD8+ T cells (CDIGs). Univariate Cox regression and LASSO regression analyses were performed on 10 hub CDIGs (ADM, CAV1, CTSL, HLA-DMB, HLA-DQA1, IGHM, PLSCR1, PTGDS, S100A16, and WFDC2). Furthermore, the immunological attributes and the immunotherapy efficacy in CDIGPM-defined categories were explored. Moreover, to support the findings of the bioinformatics analysis, fifteen LUAD patients' tumor and adjacent tissues were collected for qRT-PCR detection of CDIGPM-related genes.ResultsKaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the high-CDIGPM group exhibited significantly poorer overall survival (OS) trajectories, whereas the low-CDIGPM group showed more favorable OS trajectories, indicating a better prognosis. Age, tumor stage, and CDIGPM score were identified as independent prognostic factors. The high-CDIGPM group was enriched in pathways related to the cell cycle, focal adhesion, and cancer, while the low-CDIGPM group was associated with immune response-related pathways. The CDIGPM model effectively differentiated clinical subtypes in patients with LUAD. QRT-PCR detection of Clinical LUAD samples also validated the differentially expression of CDIGPM model related genes.ConclusionsThe study highlights the prognostic importance of CDIGs in LUAD using the CDIGPM model, linking age, stage and CDIGPM score to poor outcomes. The identified genes and pathways provide potential therapeutic targets, deepening our understanding of LUAD's molecular landscape.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, we then assessed the independent prognostic significance of CDIGPM.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:40095496", "locator": "sections[13] \"CDIGPM elucidates significant survival implications on LUAD patients\" paragraph 4", "quote": "Using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, we then assessed the independent prognostic significance of CDIGPM."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "Data Availability Statement: The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:40095496", "locator": "sections[20] \"fn-group\" paragraph 1", "quote": "Data Availability Statement: The datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request"}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "complete", "objective": "", "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:40095496"], "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.
