Abstract
Accumulating evidence demonstrates that lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of the immune microenvironment and early tumor development. Immunogenic cell death occurs mainly through the release or increase of tumor-associated antigen and tumor-specific antigen, exposing "danger signals" to stimulate the body's immune response. Given the recent development of immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma, we explored the role of tumor immunogenic cell death-related lncRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma for prognosis and immunotherapy benefit, which has never been uncovered yet. Based on the lung adenocarcinoma cohorts from the TCGA database and GEO database, the study developed the immunogenic cell death index signature by several machine learning algorithms and then validated the signature for prognosis and immunotherapy benefit of lung adenocarcinoma patients, which had a more stable performance compared with published signatures in predicting the prognosis, and demonstrated predictive value for benefiting from immunotherapy in multiple cohorts of multiple cancers, and also guided the utilization of chemotherapy drugs.
