Abstract

Background. This study identified the expression and prognosis significance of secretory or membrane-associated proteins in KRAS lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and depicted the characteristics between the immune cell infiltration and the expression of these genes. Methods. Gene expression data of LUAD samples ( n = 563 ) were accessed from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The expression of secretory or membrane-associated proteins was compared among the KRAS-mutant, wild-type, and normal groups, as well as the subgroup of the KRAS-mutant group. We identified the survival-related differentially expressed secretory or membrane-associated proteins and conducted the functional enrichment analysis. Then, the characterization and association between their expression and the 24 immune cell subsets were investigated. We also constructed a scoring model to predict KRAS mutation by LASSO and logistic regression analysis. Results. Secretory or membrane-associated genes with differential expression ( n = 74 ) across three groups (137 KRAS LUAD, 368 wild-type LUAD, and 58 normal groups) were identified, and the results of GO and KEGG indicated that they were strongly associated with immune cell infiltrations. Among them, ten genes were significantly related to the survival of patients with KRAS LUAD. The expression of IL37, KIF2, INSR, and AQP3 had the most significant correlations with immune cell infiltration. In addition, eight DEGs from the KRAS subgroups were highly correlated with immune infiltrations, especially TNFSF13B. Using LASSO-logistic regression, a KRAS mutation prediction model based on the 74 differentially expressed secretory or membrane-associated genes was built, and the accuracy was 0.79. Conclusion. The research investigated the relationship between the expression of KRAS-related secretory or membrane-associated proteins in LUAD patients with prognostic prediction and immune infiltration characterization. Our study demonstrated that secretory or membrane-associated genes were closely associated with the survival of KRAS LUAD patients and were strongly correlated to immune cell infiltration.
