Abstract
Background: ith the ongoing development of targeted therapy, non-apoptotic cell death, including necroptosis, has become a popular topic in the field of prevention and treatment. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) on the classification of ovarian cancer (OV) subtypes and to develop a necroptosis-related risk score (NRRS) classification system.Methods: 74 NRGs were obtained from the published studies, and univariate COX regression analysis was carried out between them and OV survival. Consensus clustering analysis was performed on OV samples according to the expression of NRGs related to prognosis. Furthermore, the NRRS model was developed by combining Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso)-penalized Cox regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis. And the decision tree model was constructed based on the principle of random forest screening factors principle.Results: According to the post-related NRGs, OV was divided into two necroptosis subtypes. Compared with Cluster 1 (C1), the overall survival (OS) of Cluster 2 (C2) was significantly shorter, stromal score and immune score, the infiltration level of tumor associated immune cells and the expression of 20 immune checkpoints were significantly higher. WGCNA identified the blue module most related to necroptosis subtype, and 12 genes in the module were used to construct NRRS. NRRS was an independent prognostic variable of OV. The OS of samples with lower NRRS was significantly longer, and tumor mutation burden and homologous recombination defect were more obvious.Conclusion: This study showed that necroptosis plays an important role in the classification, prognosis, immune infiltration and biological characteristics of OV subtypes. The evaluation of tumor necroptosis may provide a new perspective for OV treatment.
