Ferroptosis-related prognostic model of mantle cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent programmed cell death, is closely related to cancer prognosis. In this study, we established a model of ferroptosis related genes for prognostic evaluation of patients with MCL.

METHODS

Using the single-cell RNA sequencing datasets GSE184031 and mRNA sequencing data GSE32018 from the Gene Expression Omnibus, we identified 139 ferroptosis-related genes in MCL. Next a prognostic model was constructed by Cox regression and Least absolute selection and shrinkage Operator regression analysis. Finally, we used CIBERSORT to analyze the immune microenvironment and the "oncoPredict" package to predict potential drugs.

RESULTS

In our model, the prognosis of MCL patients was assessed by risk scoring using 7 genes ANXA1, IL1B, YBX1, CCND1, MS4A1, MFHAS1, and RILPL2. The patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on our model, and the high-risk patients had inferior overall survival. Finally, according to our model and computational drug sensitivity analysis, four small molecule compounds, BMS-754807, SB216763, Doramapimod, and Trametinib, were identified as potential therapeutic agents for patients with MCL.

CONCLUSION

In summary, we provide a prognostic model with ferroptosis-related gene signature for MCL. This study provides a prognostic model with ferroptosis-related gene signature for MCL. The results show that the model helps predict prognosis in MCL.
