摘要：

PANoptosis is a newly-discovered cell death pathway that involves crosstalk and co-ordination between pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis processes. However, the roles of PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) in prognosis and immune landscape of colon cancer remain widely unknown. Here, we performed a bioinformatics analysis of expression data of nineteen PRGs identified from previous studies and clinical data of colon cancer patients obtained from TCGA and GEO databases. Colon cancer cases were divided into two PRG clusters, and prognosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) were identified. The patient data were then separated into two corresponding distinct gene clusters, and the relationship between the risk score, patient prognosis, and immune landscape was analyzed. The identified PRGs and gene clusters correlated with patient survival and immune system and cancer-related biological processes and pathways. A prognosis signature based on seven genes was identified, and patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on the calculated risk score. A nomogram model for prediction of patient survival was also developed based on the risk score and other clinical features. Accordingly, the high-risk group showed worse prognosis, and the risk score was related to immune cell abundance, cancer stem cell (CSC) index, checkpoint expression, and response to immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic drugs. Results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) showed that LGR5 and VSIG4 were differentially expressed between normal and colon cancer samples. In conclusion, we demonstrated the potential of PANoptosis-based molecular clustering and prognostic signatures for prediction of patient survival and tumor microenvironment (TME) in colon cancer. Our findings may improve our understanding of the role of PANoptosis in colon cancer, and enable the development of more effective treatment strategies.
