Identifying ADME-related gene signature for immune landscape and prognosis in KIRC by single-cell and spatial transcriptome analysis
Abstract Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is the most prevalent subtype of kidney cancer. Although multiple therapeutic agents have been proven effective in KIRC, their clinical application has been hindered by a lack of reliable biomarkers.

description | Abstract Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is the most prevalent subtype of kidney cancer. Although multiple therapeutic agents have been proven effective in KIRC, their clinical application has been hindered by a lack of reliable biomarkers. This study focused on the prognostic value and function of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion- (ADME-) related genes (ARGs) in KIRC to enhance personalized therapy. The critical role of ARGs in KIRC microenvironment was confirmed by single cell RNA-seq analysis and spatial transcriptome sequencing analysis for the first time. Then, an ADME-related prognostic signature (ARPS) was developed by the bulk RNA-seq analysis. The ARPS, created through Cox regression, LASSO, and stepAIC analyses, identified eight ARGs that stratified patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. High-risk patients had significantly poorer overall survival. Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent predictive ability of ARPS, and an ARPS-based nomogram was constructed for clinical application. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway analyses revealed immune-related functions and pathways enriched in these groups, with low-risk patients showing better responses to immunotherapy. Finally, the expression of ARGs was validated by qRT-PCR and Western blotting experiments. These findings underscore the prognostic significance of ARPS in KIRC and its potential application in guiding personalized treatment strategies. |
