Description
Summary:Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a malignant tumor with high heterogeneity and poor prognosis. In this study, we sought to identify the value of platelet-related genes in prognosis and heterogeneity of PDAC through multiple transcriptomic methods. Based on datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), platelet-related genes were screened out, and the TCGA cohort (n = 171) was identified into two subtypes by unsupervised clustering. The platelet-related risk score model (PLRScore) was constructed by univariate Cox and LASSO regression, and the predictive ability was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier test and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The results were validated in two other external validation sets, ICGC-CA (n = 140) and GSE62452 (n = 66). Furthermore, predictive nomogram containing clinical characteristics and PLRScore was established. In addition, we determined the possible correlation between PLRScore and immune infiltration and response of immunotherapy. Finally, we analyzed the heterogeneity of our signature in various types of cells using single-cell analysis. Platelet-related subtypes that have significant difference of overall survival and immune states (p
