BACKGROUND: Molecular markers play an important role in predicting clinical outcomes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) patients. Analysis of the ferroptosis-related genes may provide novel potential targets for the prognosis and treatment of PAAD. METHODS: RNA-sequence and clinical data of PAAD was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) public databases. The PAAD samples were clustered by a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different subtypes were used by "limma_3.42.2" package. The R software package clusterProfiler was used for functional enrichment analysis. Then, a multivariate Cox proportional and LASSO regression were used to develop a ferroptosis-related gene signature for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A nomogram and corrected curves were constructed. Finally, the expression and function of these signature genes were explored by qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and proliferation, migration and invasion assays. RESULTS: The 173 samples were divided into 3 categories (C1, C2, and C3) and a 3-gene signature model (ALOX5, ALOX12, and CISD1) was constructed. The prognostic model showed good independent prognostic ability in PAAD. In the GSE62452 external validation set, the molecular model also showed good risk prediction. KM-curve analysis showed that there were significant differences between the high and low-risk groups, samples with a high-risk score had a worse prognosis. The predictive efficiency of the 3-gene signature-based nomogram was significantly better than that of traditional clinical features. For comparison with other models, that our model, with a reasonable number of genes, yields a more effective result. The results obtained with qPCR and IHC assays showed that ALOX5 was highly expressed, whether ALOX12 and CISD1 were expressed at low levels in tissue samples. Finally, function assays results suggested that ALOX5 may be an oncogene and ALOX12 and CISD1 may be tumor suppressor genes. CONCLUSIONS: We present a novel prognostic molecular model for PAAD based on ferroptosis-related genes, which serves as a potentially effective tool for prognostic differentiation in pancreatic cancer patients.

Scope and unresolved questions Review the scope of the analysis, any missing runs and claims that still need evidence.

Out of scope by construction (0)

No verdict has been computed, so no scope statement exists yet.

Registered runs that never answered (0)

Every registered order produced an accepted attempt.

Registered cells with no evidence (0)

Every registered cell carries at least one observation.

Claim map 0 claims What was registered before anything ran: the number to land on, the band it has to land in, and how many runs were promised. The bands were frozen before any output existed, and whether a result falls inside a band is the engine's answer.

This submission carries no registered claim, so no comparison plan exists. The engine refuses to compute a verdict without one.

Registered execution runs 0 runs Every order that was on record before dispatch, and what each one produced. A missing attempt is a discrepancy, not a quiet omission.
