Abstract
The prevalence of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has increased alongside increased implementation of lung cancer screenings. Robust discrimination criteria are urgently needed to identify those patients who might benefit from additional systemic therapy. Here, to develop a reliable, individualized immune gene-set-based signature to predict recurrence in early-stage LUAD, a novel recurrence-associated immune signature was identified using a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator model, and a stepwise Cox proportional hazards regression model with a training set comprised of 338 early-stage LUAD samples form TCGA, which was subsequently validated in 226 cases from GSE31210 and an independent set of 68 frozen tumor samples with qRT-PCR data. This new classification system remained strongly predictive of prognoses across clinical subgroups and mutation status. Further analysis revealed that samples from high-risk cases were characterized by active interferon signal transduction, distinctive immune cell proportions and immune checkpoint profiles. Moreover, the signature was identified as an independent prognostic factor. In conclusion, the signature is highly predictive of recurrence in patients with early-stage LUAD, which may serve as a powerful prognostic tool to further optimize immunotherapies for cancer.

一、摘要
本文的工作是将TCGA 的早期LUAD复发样本作为训练集,基于LASSO算法和逐步的Cox比例风险回归模型来识别到一组基于免疫基因集的复发特征基因,然后对样本构建风险评分,划分高、低风险组,分析发现风险评分与FPS和OS显著相关,并在GEO的LUAD样本中验证。接下来在不同临床亚组、肺腺癌亚型和不同EGFR 和KRAS突变状态分组下高、低风险组与RFS和OS的相关性。然后分析高、低风险组与不同的炎症和免疫反应的关系。最后在68例早期肺腺癌样本中进行验证高、低风险组与FPS和OS相关性。通过单变量和多变量Cox回归分析证明IBRS是早期LUAD患者的独立风险因素。
