ABSTRACT: Purpose
TP53 mutation, one of the most frequent mutations in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), triggers a series of alterations in the immune landscape, progression, and clinical outcome of early-stage LUAD. Our study was designed to unravel the effects of TP53 mutation on the immunophenotype of early-stage LUAD and formulate a TP53-associated immune prognostic model (IPM) that can estimate prognosis in early-stage LUAD patients.Materials and methods
Immune-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between TP53 mutated (TP53MUT ) and TP53 wild-type (TP53WT ) early-stage LUAD were comprehensively analyzed. Univariate Cox analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis identified the prognostic immune-associated DEGs. We constructed and validated an IPM based on the TCGA and a meta-GEO composed of GSE72094, GSE42127, and GSE31210, respectively. The CIBERSORT algorithm was analyzed for assessing the percentage of immune cell types. A nomogram model was established for clinical application.Results
TP53 mutation occurred in approximately 50.00% of LUAD patients, stimulating a weakened immune response in early-stage LUAD. Sixty-seven immune-associated DEGs were determined between TP53WT and TP53MUT cohort. An IPM consisting of two prognostic immune-associated DEGs (risk score = 0.098 * ENTPD2 expression + 0.168 * MIF expression) was developed through 397 cases in the TCGA and further validated based on 623 patients in a meta-GEO. The IPM stratified patients into low or high risk of undesirable survival and was identified as an independent prognostic indicator in multivariate analysis (HR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.43-3.06, p < 0.001). Increased expressions of PD-L1, CTLA-4, and TIGIT were revealed in the high-risk group. Prognostic nomogram incorporating the IPM and other clinicopathological parameters (TNM stage and age) achieved optimal predictive accuracy and clinical utility.Conclusion
The IPM based on TP53 status is a reliable and robust immune signature to identify early-stage LUAD patients with high risk of unfavorable survival.
