Abstract

Background: The precise diagnostic and prognostic biological markers were needed in immunotherapy for sepsis. Considering the role of necroptosis and immune cell infiltration in sepsis, differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes (DE-NRGs) were identified, and the relationship between DE-NRGs and the immune microenvironment in sepsis was analyzed. Methods: Machine learning algorithms were applied for screening hub genes related to necroptosis in the training cohort. CIBERSORT algorithms were employed for immune infiltration landscape analysis. Then, the diagnostic value of these hub genes was verified by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and nomogram. In addition, consensus clustering was applied to divide the septic patients into different subgroups, and quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of the hub genes between septic patients (SP) (n = 30) and healthy controls (HC) (n = 15). Finally, a multivariate prediction model based on heart rate, temperature, white blood count and 4 hub genes was established. Results: A total of 47 DE-NRGs were identified between SP and HC and 4 hub genes (BACH2, GATA3, LEF1, and BCL2) relevant to necroptosis were screened out via multiple machine learning algorithms. The high diagnostic value of these hub genes was validated by the ROC curve and Nomogram model. Besides, the immune scores, correlation analysis and immune cell infiltrations suggested an immunosuppressive microenvironment in sepsis. Septic patients were divided into 2 clusters based on the expressions of hub genes using consensus clustering, and the immune microenvironment landscapes and immune function between the 2 clusters were significantly different. The mRNA levels of the 4 hub genes significantly decreased in SP as compared with HC. The area under the curve (AUC) was better in the multivariate prediction model than in other indicators. Conclusion: This study indicated that these necroptosis hub genes might have great potential in prognosis prediction and personalized immunotherapy for sepsis. VSports手机版.

Four common hub genes were screened out via machine language algorithm. (A) Support vector machine (SVM) was used for screening DE-NRGs. (B) Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression algorithm to screen DE-NRGs. LASSO logistic regression was performed with 10-fold cross-validation to screen iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLs) and was performed for 1,000 cycles to select the feature variables based on minimum criteria or 1-se criteria. (C) Random forest (RF) algorithm was used to screen DE-NRGs. Genes with an importance score greater than 1 were used for subsequent signature establishment. (D) VENN diagram of common hub genes.
