BackgroundPyroptosis is essential for tumorigenesis and progression of neoplasm. However, the heterogeneity of pyroptosis and its relationship with the tumor microenvironment (TME) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to identify pyroptosis-related subtypes and construct a prognosis prediction model based on pyroptosis signatures.MethodsFirst, heterogenous pyroptosis subgroups were explored based on 33 pyroptosis-related genes and ccRCC samples from TCGA, and the model established by LASSO regression was verified by the ICGC database. Then, the clinical significance, functional status, immune infiltration, cell–cell communication, genomic alteration, and drug sensitivity of different subgroups were further analyzed. Finally, the LASSO-Cox algorithm was applied to narrow down the candidate genes to develop a robust and concise prognostic model.ResultsTwo heterogenous pyroptosis subgroups were identified: pyroptosis-low immunity-low C1 subtype and pyroptosis-high immunity-high C2 subtype. Compared with C1, C2 was associated with a higher clinical stage or grade and a worse prognosis. More immune cell infiltration was observed in C2 than that in C1, while the response rate in the C2 subgroup was lower than that in the C1 subgroup. Pyroptosis-related genes were mainly expressed in myeloid cells, and T cells and epithelial cells might influence other cell clusters via the pyroptosis-related pathway. In addition, C1 was characterized by MTOR and ATM mutation, while the characteristics of C2 were alterations in SPEN and ROS1 mutation. Finally, a robust and promising pyroptosis-related prediction model for ccRCC was constructed and validated.ConclusionTwo heterogeneous pyroptosis subtypes were identified and compared in multiple omics levels, and five pyroptosis-related signatures were applied to establish a prognosis prediction model. Our findings may help better understand the role of pyroptosis in ccRCC progression and provide a new perspective in the management of ccRCC patients.

The clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is not only a malignant disease but also an energy metabolic disease, we aimed to identify a novel prognostic model based on glycolysis-related long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) and explore its mechanisms. With the use of Pearson correlation analysis between the glycolysis-related differentially expressed genes and lncRNAs from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, we identified three glycolysis-related lncRNAs and successfully constructed a prognostic model based on their expression. The diagnostic efficacy and the clinically predictive capacity of the signature were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Cox analyses, Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, and principal component analysis (PCA). The glycolysis-related lncRNA signature was constructed based on the expressions of AC009084.1, AC156455.1, and LINC00342. Patients were grouped into high- or low-risk groups according to risk score demonstrated significant differences in overall survival (OS) period, which were validated by patients with ccRCC from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database. Univariate Cox analyses, multivariate Cox analyses, and constructed nomogram-confirmed risk score based on our signature were independent prognosis predictors. The CIBERSORT algorithms demonstrated significant correlations between three-glycolysis-related lncRNAs and the tumor microenvironment (TME) components. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated potential pathways and processes correlated with the risk model. Clinical samples validated expression levels of three-glycolysis-related lncRNAs, and LINC00342 demonstrated the most significant aberrant expression. in vitro, the general overexpression of LINC00342 was detected in ccRCC cells. After silencing LINC00342, the aberrant glycolytic levels and migration abilities in 786-O cells were decreased significantly, which might be explained by suppressed Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and reversed Epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) process. Collectively, our research identified a novel three-glycolysis-related lncRNA signature as a promising model for generating accurate prognoses for patients with ccRCC, and silencing lncRNA LINC00342 from the signature could partly inhibit the glycolysis level and migration of ccRCC cells.
