Analysis of Angiogenesis-Related Signatures in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Identification of Clinical Prognostic Regulators in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Tumor angiogenesis is considered to be an important part of the mechanism of tumor progression and metastasis, and its specific function in lung adenocarcinoma has not been fully studied. In this study, we used the transcriptome and genome data of lung adenocarcinoma patients to analyze the expression of 36 angiogenesis regulators in lung adenocarcinoma. Consensus clustering analysis divided lung adenocarcinoma samples into 4 subtypes, A, B, C, and D, and the expression of most angiogenesis regulators in subtype B was higher than that in other subtypes. Immunological analysis indicated that subtype B is likely to display the characteristics of a hot tumor with a more active TME. With the help of Lasso-Cox regression analysis, we successfully constructed a risk model involving five Angiogenesis Regulators genes (CCND2, JAG1, MSX1, STC1, TIMP1), which will be helpful for clinical personalized treatment and prognosis prediction. In addition, JAG1 has the highest mutation rate in tumors, and its cancer-promoting function is reflected in a variety of tumors, which provides important clues for the development of new broad-spectrum anti-cancer targets in the future. We successfully constructed a risk model involving five angiogenesis regulators genes (CCND2, JAG1, MSX1, STC1, TIMP1), which may be helpful for clinical personalized treatment and prognosis prediction. In addition, JAG1 has the highest mutation rate in tumors and plays a leading role in the protein interaction network. Its tumor-promoting function is reflected in a variety of tumors and may become a broad-spectrum anti-cancer target in the future.
