Abstract

Autophagy plays an important role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to establish novel autophagy-related tumor subtypes to distinguish the prognosis of NSCLC. In this study, gene expression profiles, mutation data and clinical information obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas. Kaplan Meier-plotter could evaluate prognostic value of autophagy-related genes. Consensus clustering revealed autophagy-related tumor subtypes. Gene expression profiles, mutation data and immune infiltration signatures were identified, oncogenic pathways and gene-drug interactions were performed according to the clusters. Finally, a total of 23 prognostic genes were screened and consensus clustering analysis divided the NSCLC into 2 clusters. The mutation signature showed that 6 genes are special. Immune infiltration signatures showed that higher fraction of immune cells was associated with cluster 1. The oncogenic pathways and gene-drug interactions also showed different patterns. In conclusion, autophagy-related tumor subtypes have different prognosis. Understanding the subtypes of NSCLC are helpful to accurately identify the NSCLC and personalized treatment.
