摘要
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a highly invasive malignant tumor with poor prognosis, and there is growing evidence that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) could significantly promotes the risk of LUAD. In order to improve the treatment outcomes of patients with LUAD and OSA, we aim to screen OSA-related genes that may potentially affect LUAD and to discover a high sensitivity prognostic signature that can stratify LUAD/OSA patients and to further accurately identify LUAD patients who might respond to immunotherapy. Molecular subtypes classified by the prognostic signature did not belong to any previously reported subtypes of LUAD. The tumor microenvironment (TME), mutation, and so on, were significantly distinct between patients within different risk groups or clusters. Combined with gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and drug susceptibility analysis, patients in the low-risk group (The vast majority of patients belonging to cluster2 by molecular subtyping) were not suitable for immunotherapy due to T-cell exhaustion caused by long-term inflammatory response; the question of how to reverse T-cell exhaustion may be a primary consideration. Cluster3 patients had the highest benefit from immunotherapy, and although cluster1 patients had the worst prognosis, they were more sensitive to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. Animal experiments showed that chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) could not only significantly promote the tumor growth of LUAD, but also increase the expression levels of risk genes. This risk model may contribute greatly to the evaluation of prognosis, molecular characteristics, and treatment modalities of LUAD/OSA, and could be further translated into clinical applications to ameliorate the treatment dilemmas.
