Abstract
BackgroundThe role of ferroptosis in tumor progression and immune microenvironment is extensively investigated. However, the potential value of ferroptosis regulators in predicting prognosis and therapeutic strategies for osteosarcoma (OS) patients remains to be elucidated.MethodsHere, we extracted transcriptomic and survival data from Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to investigate the expression and prognostic value of ferroptosis regulators in OS patients. After comprehensive analyses, including Gene set variation analysis (GSVA), single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), Estimated Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumor tissues using Expression (ESTIMATE), single-cell RNA sequencing, and biological experiments, our constructed 8-ferroptosis-regulators prognostic signature effectively predicted the immune landscape, prognosis, and chemoradiotherapy strategies for OS patients.ResultsWe constructed an 8-ferroptosis-regulators signature that could predict the survival outcome of OS. The signature algorithm scored samples, and high-scoring patients were more prone to worse prognoses. The tumor immune landscape suggested the positive relevance between risk score and immunosuppression. Interfering HILPDA and MUC1 expression would inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration, and MUC1 might improve the ferroptosis resistance of OS cells. Moreover, we predicted chemoradiotherapy strategies of cancer patients following ferroptosis-risk-score groups.ConclusionDysregulated ferroptosis gene expression can affect OS progression by affecting the tumor immune landscape and ferroptosis resistance. Our risk model can predict OS survival outcomes, and we propose that HILPDA and MUC1 are potential targets for cancer therapy.
