Molecular subtypes based on PANoptosis-related genes and tumor microenvironment infiltration characteristics in Lower-grade glioma

The growth of cancer, the effectiveness of treatment, and prognosis are all closely related to PANoptosis (include pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis). It remains unclear whether PANoptosis genes (PANGs) may contribute to lower-grade glioma tumor microenvironment (TME). In this study, Firstly, we provided a comprehensive review of the pan-cancer landscape of PANGs in terms of expression characteristics, prognostic value, mutational profile, and pathway regulation. Then, we identified two distinct PAN clusters in 611 LGG patients, each with its own molecular, clinical, and immunological profile. We then developed a scoring system for LGG patients called PANscore. As well as investigating immune characteristics, tumor mutational characteristics, and drug sensitivity, we examined the differences between groups with high-PANscores and those with low-PANscores. Based on this PANscore and a number of clinicopathological variables, an instant nomogram for predicting clinical survival in LGG patients was developed. Our thorough examination of PANGs in LGG revealed their probable function in TME, as well as their clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. These discoveries could deepen our comprehension of PANGs in LGG and provide doctors fresh perspectives on how to forecast prognosis and create more efficient, individualized treatment plans.
