Abstract
AbstractOsteosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor, with very high disability and fatality rates. However, the overall prognosis is not optimistic. Pyroptosis is a newly discovered cell death modality accompanied by inflammation, which is closely related to varieties of cancers. In this study, the RNA-seq data were downloaded from public databases, the differences in the expression of the pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) were identified, and the six PRGs signature was established through the univariate and LASSO Cox analysis. The patients were grouped according to the PRGs signature, and the prognosis between the two groups was further compared. In addition, a ten pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRLs) prognostic signature was also constructed. Through functional analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the immune-related pathways were found to be enriched. The Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong correlation between the pyroptosis-related biomarkers. Finally, we identified a promising biomarker, CHMP4C, which is highly expressed in osteosarcoma. Overexpression of CHMP4C promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of the osteosarcoma cell. Our results thus provide new evidence for exploring prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of osteosarcoma.
