BACKGROUND: Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD), a common and aggressive form of lung cancer, poses significant treatment challenges due to its low survival rates.

AIM: To better understand the role of ferroptosis driver genes in LUAD, this study aimed to explore their diagnostic and prognostic significance, as well as their impact on treatment approaches and tumor immune function in LUAD.

METHOD: To accomplish the defined goals, a comprehensive methodology incorporating both in silico and wet lab experiments was employed. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on a total of 233 ferroptosis driver genes obtained from the FerrDB database. Utilizing various TCGA databases and the RT-qPCR technique, the expression profiles of 233 genes were examined. Among them, TP53, KRAS, PTEN, and HRAS were identified as hub genes with significant differential expression. Notably, TP53, KRAS, and HRAS exhibited substantial up-regulation, while PTEN demonstrated significant down-regulation at both the mRNA and protein levels in LUAD samples. The dysregulation of hub genes was further associated with poor overall survival in LUAD patients. Additionally, targeted bisulfite-sequencing (bisulfite-seq) analysis revealed aberrant promoter methylation patterns linked to the dysregulation of hub genes.

RESULT & DISCUSSION: Furthermore, hub genes were found to participate in diverse oncogenic pathways, highlighting their involvement in LUAD tumorigenesis. By leveraging the diagnostic and prognostic potential of ferroptosis driver hub genes (TP53, KRAS, PTEN, and HRAS), significant advancements can be made in the understanding and management of LUAD pathogenesis.

CONCLUSION: Therapeutic targeting of these genes using specific drugs holds great promise for revolutionizing drug discovery and improving the overall survival of LUAD patients.
