Abstract

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. Methylation modifications acted a crucial role to affect cancer progression. The current study aimed to explore the potential role of methylase regulators in PAAD prognosis and immune microenvironment. PubMed and TCGA databases were used to systematically analyze methylase regulators in PAAD. We identified three methylase clusters based on RNA methylase transcriptome data and obtained three gene clusters based on methylase modification-related differently expressed genes using principal component analysis (PCA) analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) biological processes were performed to explore the processes enriched in the different subgroups and single sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to analyze the relationship between subgroups and immune infiltration in PAAD. We systematically screened 43 methylase regulators in PAAD samples and identified three methylase clusters with different clinical outcomes, as well as detected a significant relationship between methylase clusters and tumor immune infiltration. The top ten mutated genes include TP53, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), titin gene (TTN), mucin 16 (MUC16), SMAD4, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2a (CDKN2A), Ryanodine receptor isoform-1 (RYR1), ring finger 43 (RNF43), protocadherin-15 (PCDH15), and AT-rich interacting domain-containing protein 1 A gene (ARID1A). The current study constructed an m6A/m5C/m1A/m7G modulator genes and explored methylase modification-related genes, which were related to the prognosis of PAAD patients and the immune checkpoint point cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4). These findings may provide prognostic predictors and direction for immunotherapy strategies for the treatment of PAAD.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 February 2023.
All research outputs
#16,785,164
of 25,462,162 outputs
Outputs from Molecular & Cellular Probes
#618
of 854 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#259,242
of 480,327 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular & Cellular Probes
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,462,162 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 854 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 480,327 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
