Discov Oncol 2024; 15:265. [PMID: 38967843 PMCID: PMC11226695 DOI: 10.1007/s12672-024-01134-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the role of the newly discovered lncRNA FLJ20021 in laryngeal cancer (LC) and its resistance to cisplatin treatment. We initially observed elevated lncRNA FLJ20021 levels in cisplatin-resistant LC cells (Hep-2/R). To explore its function, we transfected lncRNA FLJ20021 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) into Hep-2/R cells, assessing their impact on cisplatin sensitivity and PANoptosis. Silencing lncRNA FLJ20021 effectively reduced cisplatin resistance and induced PANoptosis in Hep-2/R cells. Mechanistically, lncRNA FLJ20021 primarily localized in the nucleus and interacted with CDK1 mRNA, thereby enhancing its transcriptional stability. CDK1, in turn, promoted panapoptosis in a ZBP1-dependent manner, which helped overcome cisplatin resistance in Hep-2/R cells. This study suggests that targeting lncRNA FLJ20021 can be a promising approach to combat cisplatin resistance in laryngeal cancer by regulating CDK1 and promoting PANoptosis via the ZBP1 pathway. These findings open up possibilities for lncRNA-based therapies in the context of laryngeal cancer.

[PMID: 38845990 PMCID: PMC11153176 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Thyroid cancer (THCA) has become a common malignancy in recent years, with the mortality rate steadily increasing. PANoptosis is a unique kind of programmed cell death (PCD), including pyroptosis, necroptosis, and apoptosis, and is involved in the proliferation and prognosis of numerous cancers. This paper demonstrated the connection between PANoptosis-related genes and THCA based on the analyses of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases, which have not been evaluated yet. Methods We identified PANoptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PRDEGs) by multi-analyzing the TCGA-THCA and GEO datasets. To identify the significant PRDEGs, a prognostic model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO). The predictive values of the significant PRDEGs for THCA outcomes were determined using Cox regression analysis and nomograms. Gene enrichment analyses were performed. Finally, immunohistochemistry was carried out using the human protein atlas. Results A LASSO regression model based on nine PRDEGs was constructed, and the prognostic value of key PRDEGs was explored via risk score. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were implemented to identify further three significant PRDEGs closely related to distant metastasis, lymph node metastasis, and tumor stage. Then, a nomogram was constructed, which presented high predictive accuracy for 5 years survival of THCA patients. Gene enrichment analyses in THCA were strongly associated with PCD pathways. CASP6 presented significantly differential expression during clinical T stage, N stage, and PFI events (P < 0.05 for all) and demonstrated the highest degree of diagnostic efficacy in PRDEGs (HR: 2.060, 95 % CI: 1.170-3.628, P < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed CASP6 was more abundant in THCA tumor tissue. Conclusion A potential prognostic role for PRDEGs in THCA was identified, providing a new direction for treatment. CASP6 may be a potential therapeutic target and a novel prognostic biomarker for THCA.

Abstract
PANoptosis represents a novel type of programmed cell death (PCD) with distinctive features that incorporate elements of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. PANoptosis is governed by a newly discovered cytoplasmic multimeric protein complex known as the PANoptosome. Unlike each of these PCD types individually, PANoptosis is still in the early stages of research and warrants further exploration of its specific regulatory mechanisms and primary targets. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the conceptual framework and molecular components of PANoptosis. In addition, we highlight recent advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic applications of PANoptosis. By elucidating the complex crosstalk between pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis and summarizing the functional consequences of PANoptosis with a special focus on the tumor immune microenvironment, this review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the potential application of PANoptosis in cancer therapy.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals molecular characterization and immune landscape of PANoptosis-related genes in atherosclerosis. Inflamm Res 2024; 73:961-978. [PMID: 38587531 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-024-01877-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal lipid deposition in the arteries. Programmed cell death is involved in the inflammatory response of atherosclerosis, but PANoptosis, as a new form of programmed cell death, is still unclear in atherosclerosis. This study explored the key PANoptosis-related genes involved in atherosclerosis and their potential mechanisms through bioinformatics analysis. METHODS We evaluated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and immune infiltration landscape in atherosclerosis using microarray datasets and bioinformatics analysis. By intersecting PANoptosis-related genes from the GeneCards database with DEGs, we obtained a set of PANoptosis-related genes in atherosclerosis (PANoDEGs). Functional enrichment analysis of PANoDEGs was performed and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of PANoDEGs was established. The machine learning algorithms were used to identify the key PANoDEGs closely linked to atherosclerosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the diagnostic potency of key PANoDEGs. CIBERSORT was used to analyze the immune infiltration patterns in atherosclerosis, and the Spearman method was used to study the relationship between key PANoDEGs and immune infiltration abundance. The single gene enrichment analysis of key PANoDEGs was investigated by GSEA. The transcription factors and target miRNAs of key PANoDEGs were predicted by Cytoscape and online database, respectively. The expression of key PANoDEGs was validated through animal and cell experiments. RESULTS PANoDEGs in atherosclerosis were significantly enriched in apoptotic process, pyroptosis, necroptosis, cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis. Four key PANoDEGs (ZBP1, SNHG6, DNM1L, and AIM2) were found to be closely related to atherosclerosis. The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the key PANoDEGs had a strong diagnostic potential in distinguishing atherosclerotic samples from control samples. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed that the proportion of initial B cells, plasma cells, CD4 memory resting T cells, and M1 macrophages was significantly higher in atherosclerotic tissues compared to normal tissues. Spearman analysis showed that key PANoDEGs showed strong correlations with immune cells such as T cells, macrophages, plasma cells, and mast cells. The regulatory networks of the four key PANoDEGs were established. The expression of key PANoDEGs was verified in further cell and animal experiments. CONCLUSIONS This study evaluated the expression changes of PANoptosis-related genes in atherosclerosis, providing a reference direction for the study of PANoptosis in atherosclerosis and offering potential new avenues for further understanding the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
PANoptosis is a form of inflammatory programmed cell death that is regulated by the PANoptosome. This PANoptosis possesses key characteristics of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, yet cannot be fully explained by any of these cell death modes. The unique nature of this cell death mechanism has garnered significant interest. However, the specific role of PANoptosis-associated features in gastric cancer (GC) is still uncertain. Patients were categorized into different PAN subtypes based on the expression of genes related to the PANoptosome. We conducted a systematic analysis to investigate the variations in prognosis and tumor microenvironment (TME) among these subtypes. Furthermore, we developed a risk score, called PANoptosis-related risk score (PANS), which is constructed from genes associated with the PANoptosis. We comprehensively analyzed the correlation between PANS and GC prognosis, TME, immunotherapy efficacy and chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity. Additionally, we performed in vitro experiments to validate the impact of Keratin 7 (KRT7) on GC. We identified two PAN subtypes (PANcluster A and B). PANoptosome genes were highly expressed in PANcluster A. PANcluster A has the characteristics of favorable prognosis, abundant infiltration of anti-tumor lymphocytes, and sensitivity to immunotherapy, thus it was categorized as an immune-inflammatory type. Meanwhile, our constructed PANS can effectively predict the prognosis and immune efficacy of GC. Patients with low PANS have a good prognosis, and have the characteristics of high tumor mutation load (TMB), high microsatellite instability (MSI), low tumor purity and sensitivity to immunotherapy. In addition, PANS can also identify suitable populations for different chemotherapy drugs. Finally, we confirmed that KRT7 is highly expressed in GC. Knocking down the expression of KRT7 significantly weakens the proliferation and migration abilities of GC cells. The models based on PANoptosis signature help to identify the TME features of GC and can effectively predict the prognosis and immune efficacy of GC. Furthermore, the experimental verification results of KRT7 provide theoretical support for anti-tumor treatment.

Abstract
PANoptosis plays a crucial role in cancer initiation and progression. However, the roles of PANoptosis-related genes (PARGs) in the prognosis and immune landscape of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain unclear. Integrated bioinformatics analyses based on the data of HNSCC patients in the TCGA database were conducted. We extracted 48 PARGs expression profile and then conducted differentially expressed analysis, following building a Cox model to predict the survival of HNSCC patients. Subsequently, the relationships between the risk score, immune landscape, chemo-, and immune-therapy responses were analyzed, respectively. Moreover, we investigated the prognostic value, and further predicted the pathways influenced by PARGs. Finally, we identified the biological function of crucial PARGs. A total of 18 differentially expressed PARGs were identified in HNSCC, and a Cox model including CASP8, FADD, NLRP1, TNF, and ZBP1 was constructed, which showed that the risk score was associated with the prognosis as well as immune infiltration of HNSCC patients, and the risk score could be regarded as an independent biomarker. Additionally, patients with high-risk score might be an indicator of lymph node metastasis and advanced clinical stage. High-risk scores also contributed to the chemotherapy resistance and immune escape of HNSCC patients. In addition, FADD and ZBP1 played a crucial role in various cancer-related pathways, such as the MAPK, WNT, and MTOR signaling pathways. On the other hand, we suggested that FADD facilitated the progression and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance of HNSCC cells. A signature based on PANoptosis showed great predictive power for lymph node metastasis and advanced stage, suggesting that the risk score might be an independent prognostic biomarker for HNSCC. Meanwhile, FADD, identified as a prognostic biomarker, may represent an effective therapeutic target for HNSCC.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) is considered a critical pathway in cancer therapy, contributing to eliminating cancer cells and influencing treatment outcomes. The application of RCD in cancer treatment is marked by its potential in targeted therapy and immunotherapy. As a type of RCD, PANoptosis has emerged as a unique form of programmed cell death (PCD) characterized by features of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis but cannot be fully explained by any of these pathways alone. It is regulated by a multi-protein complex called the PANoptosome. As a relatively new concept first described in 2019, PANoptosis has been shown to play a role in many diseases, including cancer, infection, and inflammation. This study reviews the application of PCD in cancer, particularly the emergence and implication of PANoptosis in developing therapeutic strategies for cancer. Studies have shown that the characterization of PANoptosis patterns in cancer can predict survival and response to immunotherapy and chemotherapy, highlighting the potential for PANoptosis to be used as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment. It also plays a role in limiting the spread of cancer cells. PANoptosis allows for the elimination of cancer cells by multiple cell death pathways and has the potential to address various challenges in cancer treatment, including drug resistance and immune evasion. Moreover, active investigation of the mechanisms and potential therapeutic agents that can induce PANoptosis in cancer cells is likely to yield effective cancer treatments and improve patient outcomes. Research on PANoptosis is still ongoing, but it is a rapidly evolving field with the potential to lead to new treatments for various diseases, including cancer.

Abstract
Pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis are mainly programmed cell death (PCD) pathways for host defense and homeostasis. PANoptosis is a newly distinct inflammatory PCD pathway that is uniquely regulated by multifaceted PANoptosome complexes and highlights significant crosstalk and coordination among pyroptosis (P), apoptosis (A), and/or necroptosis(N). Although some studies have focused on the possible role of PANpoptosis in diseases, the pathogenesis of PANoptosis is complex and underestimated. Furthermore, the progress of PANoptosis and related agonists or inhibitors in disorders has not yet been thoroughly discussed. In this perspective, we provide perspectives on PANoptosome and PANoptosis in the context of diverse pathological conditions and human diseases. The treatment targeting on PANoptosis is also summarized. In conclusion, PANoptosis is involved in plenty of disorders including but not limited to microbial infections, cancers, acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS), ischemia-reperfusion, and organic failure. PANoptosis seems to be a double-edged sword in diverse conditions, as PANoptosis induces a negative impact on treatment and prognosis in disorders like COVID-19 and ALI/ARDS, while PANoptosis provides host protection from HSV1 or Francisella novicida infection, and kills cancer cells and suppresses tumor growth in colorectal cancer, adrenocortical carcinoma, and other cancers. Compounds and endogenous molecules focused on PANoptosis are promising therapeutic strategies, which can act on PANoptosomes-associated members to regulate PANoptosis. More researches on PANoptosis are needed to better understand the pathology of human conditions and develop better treatment.

BACKGROUND PANoptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death (PCD) found in 2019 that is regulated by the PANoptosome. PANoptosis combines essential features of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis, forming a "death triangle" of cells. While apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis have been extensively studied for their roles in human inflammatory diseases and many other clinical conditions, historically they were considered as independent processes. However, emerging evidence indicates that these PCDs exhibit cross talk and interactions, resulting in the development of the concept of PANoptosis. METHODS In this review, we offer a concise summary of the fundamental mechanisms of apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. We subsequently introduce the notion of PANoptosis and detail the assembly mechanism of the PANoptosome complex which is responsible for inducing cell death. We also describe some regulatory networks of PANoptosis. RESULTS PANoptosis now has been associated with various human diseases including cancer. Although the exact function of PANoptosis in each tumor is not fully understood, it represents a prospective avenue for cancer therapy, offering promise for advancements in cancer therapy. CONCLUSIONS In the future, in-depth study of PANoptosis will continue to help us in understanding the fundamental processes underlying cell death and provide scientific support for cancer research.

Abstract
PANoptosis is a newly recognized inflammatory pathway for programmed cell death (PCD). It participates in regulating the internal environment, homeostasis, and disease process in various complex ways and plays a crucial role in tumor development, but its mechanism of action is still unclear. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the expression of 14 PANoptosis-related genes (PANRGs) in 28 types of tumors. Most PANRGs are upregulated in tumors, including Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1), nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), caspase (CASP) 1, CASP6, CASP8, PYCARD, FADD, MAP3K7, RNF31, and RBCK1. PANRGs are highly expressed in GBM, LGG, and PAAD, while their levels in ACC are much lower than those in normal tissues. We found that both the CNV and SNV gene sets in BLCA are closely related to survival performance. Subsequently, we conducted clustering and LASSO analysis on each tumor and found that the inhibitory and the stimulating immune checkpoints positively correlate with ZBP1, NLRP3, CASP1, CASP8, and TNFAIP3. The immune infiltration results indicated that KIRC is associated with most infiltrating immune cells. According to the six tumor dryness indicators, PANRGs in LGG show the strongest tumor dryness but have a negative correlation with RNAss. In KIRC, LIHC, and TGCT, most PANRGs play an important role in tumor heterogeneity. Additionally, we analyzed the linear relationship between PANRGs and miRNA and found that MAP3K7 correlates to many miRNAs in most cancers. Finally, we predicted the possible drugs for targeted therapy of the cancers. These data greatly enhance our understanding of the components of cancer and may lead to the discovery of new biomarkers for predicting immunotherapy response and improving the prognosis of cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND PANoptosis may play a vital role in psoriasis. We investigated the relationship between PANoptosis in psoriasis. METHODS Genes information was mainly obtained from GeneCards and the gene expression omnibus database. Genefunctions identification was based on gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify enriched signaling pathways in psoriasis. We constructed PPI networks using the search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes database and Cytoscape and explored mRNA-miRNA, mRNA-TF, and mRNA-drug interaction networks. Receiver operating characteristic curves were performed to screen potential biomarkers among these hub genes. Immune cell infiltration was analyzed using the Pearson algorithm, and the correlation between immune-cell abundance and PANoptosis-related differentially expressed gene (PDGs) was investigated. RESULTS We identified 10 PDGs, which were mainly involved in pyroptosis, cytokine-mediated signaling pathways, Salmonella infection and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway. The activated pathways were mostly proinflammatory and immunoregulatory pathways between immune cells. BAK1, CASP4, IL18, and IRF1 were identified as hub genes in the mRNA-miRNA network, and BAK1, IRF1, and PYCARD were hub genes in the mRNA-TF network. CASP1 was found to be the most targeted gene by drugs or molecular compounds. We found PDGs were positively associated with proinflammatory immune cell infiltration and negatively associated with anti-inflammatory or regulatory immune cells. CONCLUSION We confirmed the role of PANoptosis in psoriasis for the first time and predicted hub genes and immune characteristics, which provides new ideas for further investigation of psoriasis on pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Cell death-related genes indicate prognosis in cancer patients. PANoptosis is a newly observed form of cell death that researchers have linked to cancer cell death and antitumor immunity. Even so, its significance in lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs) has yet to be elucidated. We extracted and analyzed data on mRNA gene expression and clinical information from public databases in a systematic manner. These data were utilized to construct a reliable risk prediction model for six regulators of PANoptosis. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database validated six genes with risk characteristics. The prognosis of LUAD patients could be accurately estimated by the six-gene-based model: NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4 (NLRC4), FAS-associated death domain protein (FADD), Tumor necrosis factor receptor type 1-associated DEATH domain protein (TRADD), Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), Proline-serine-threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 2 (PSTPIP2), and Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). Group of higher risk and Cluster 2 indicated a poor prognosis as well as the reduced expression of immune infiltrate molecules and human leukocyte antigen. Distinct expression of PANoptosis-related genes (PRGs) in lung cancer cells was verified using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Furthermore, we evaluated the relationship between PRGs and somatic mutations, tumor immune dysfunction exclusion, tumor stemness indices, and immune infiltration. Using the risk signature, we conducted analyses including nomogram construction, stratification, prediction of small-molecule drug response, somatic mutations, and chemotherapeutic response.

Abstract
Aging is responsible for the main intrinsic triggers of cancers; however, the studies of aging risk factors in cancer animal models and cancer patients are rare and insufficient to be represented in cancer clinical trials. For a better understanding of the complex regulatory networks of aging and cancers, 8 candidate aging related long noncoding RNAs (CarLncs) identified from the healthy aging models, centenarians and their offsprings, were selected and their association with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) was explored by series of cutting edge analyses such as support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) algorithms. Using data downloaded from TCGA and GTEx databases, a regulatory network of CarLncs-miRNA-mRNA was constructed and five genes within the network were screened out as aging related feature genes for developing KIRC prognostic models. After a strict filtering pipeline for modeling, a formula using the transcript per million (TPM) values of feature genes "LncAging_score = 0.008* MMP11 + 0.066* THBS1-IT1 + (-0.014)* DYNLL2 + (-0.030)* RMND5A+ 0.008* PEG10" was developed. ROC analysis and nomogram suggest our model achieves a great performance in KIRC prognosis. Among the 8 CarLncs, we found that THBS1-IT1 was significantly dysregulated in 12 cancer types. A comprehensive pan-cancer analysis demonstrated that THBS1-IT1 is a potential prognostic biomarker in not only KIRC but also multiple cancers, such as LUSC, BLCA, GBM, LGG, MESO, PAAD, STAD and THCA, it was correlated with tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor immune cell infiltration (TICI) and its high expression was related with poor survival.

Abstract
Genomic instability is a significant driver of cancer. As the sensor of cytosolic DNA, the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway plays a critical role in regulating anti-tumor immunity and cell death. However, the role and regulatory mechanisms of STING in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are still undefined. In this study, we reported that sterile alpha motif and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) deficiency induced STING expression and inhibited tumor growth in DLBCL. High level of SAMHD1 was associated with poor prognosis in DLBCL patients. Down-regulation of SAMHD1 inhibited DLBCL cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found that SAMHD1 deficiency induced DNA damage and promoted the expression of DNA damage adaptor STING. STING overexpression promoted the formation of Caspase 8/RIPK3/ASC, further leading to MLKL phosphorylation, Caspase 3 cleavage, and GSDME cleavage. Up-regulation of necroptotic, apoptotic, and pyroptotic effectors indicated STING-mediated PANoptosis. Finally, we demonstrated that the STING agonist, DMXAA, enhanced the efficacy of a PD-L1 inhibitor in DLBCL. Our findings highlight the important role of STING-mediated PANoptosis in restricting DLBCL progression and provide a potential strategy for enhancing the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor agents in DLBCL.

Abstract
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a highly malignant tumor originating from melanocytes, and its metastasis and recurrence are the major causes of death in CM patients. PANoptosis is a newly defined inflammatory programmed cell death that crosstalk pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis. PANoptosis participates in the regulation of tumor progression, especially the expression of PANoptosis related genes (PARGs). Although pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis have received attention in CM, respectively, the link between them remains elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role of PANoptosis and PARGs in CM and the relationship among PANoptosis, PARGs and tumor immunity. We identified 3 PARGs associated with prognosis in CM patients by The Cancer Genome Atlas. Risk model and nomogram were established. Enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes indicated that CM was immune-related. Subsequent analyses indicated that prognosis-related PARGs were associated with immune scores and infiltration of immune cells in CM patients. In addition, immunotherapy and drug sensitivity results indicated an association between prognosis-related PARGs and drug resistance in CM patients. In conclusion, PARGs play a key role in the progression of tumors in CM patients. PARGs can be used not only for risk assessment and OS prediction in CM patients, but also reflect the immune landscape of CM patients, which can provide a novel reference for individualized tumor treatment.

Abstract
PANoptosis is a new cell death proposed by Malireddi et al in 2019, which is characterized by pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis, but cannot be explained by any of them alone. The interaction between pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis is involved in PANoptosis. In this review, from the perspective of PANoptosis, we focus on the relationship between pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis, the key molecules in the process of PANoptosis and the formation of PANoptosome, as well as the role of PANoptosis in diseases. We aim to understand the mechanism of PANoptosis and provide a basis for targeted intervention of PANoptosis-related molecules to treat human diseases.

Abstract
Gemcitabine (GEM), an antimetabolite that terminates DNA synthesis, is commonly used in the treatment of cancers including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, downregulation of sensitivity limits the therapeutic effect. Ferroptosis as the new form of regulated cell death has been shown to have great potential for cancer treatment with chemoresistance. Here, three genes with both ferroptosis and GEM-response-associated features were screened from RNA sequencing and public data for constructing an independent risk model. LUAD patients with different risk scores had differences in mutational landscape, gene enrichment pathways, and drug sensitivity. By Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, and colony forming assay, we demonstrate that GEM and ferroptosis inducer (FIN) imidazole Ketone Erastin had a synergistic combined anti-proliferative effect on LUAD cells and knockdown of KIF20A (the core gene of our model) further enhanced cell death in vitro by inducing ferroptosis. In conclusion, we identified a link between ferroptosis and GEM response in LUAD cells and developed a robust signature that can effectively classify LUAD patients into subgroups with different overall survival. For LUAD, the combined treatment modality of GEM and FIN is potentially effective and KIF20A may be a new therapeutic target.
