The MQRG score: a novel prognostic tool for adrenocortical carcinoma patients based on mitochondrial quality.
OBJECTIVES: Adrenal tumors are common, but adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are a rare and challenging form of cancer to diagnose and manage.This study aimed to explore the critical role of mitochondrial quality in maintaining cellular function and the implications of the abnormal expression of mitochondrial metabolism-related proteins observed in ACC patients. We focused on identifying the connection between mitochondrial quality and the development of ACC at molecular and genomic levels.
METHODS: We compared mitochondrial quality-related genes (MQRGs) across ACC subtypes using overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) as evaluation indicators. Furthermore, a novel MQRG score was developed to predict clinical prognosis and guide immunotherapy responses accurately.
RESULTS: The majority of MQRGs were upregulated in the ACC samples, correlating to poor prognosis. The MQRG score was confirmed as an independent prognostic factor for ACC, with the high-risk MQRG score group showing a significantly shorter overall survival period.
CONCLUSIONS: Multilayer alterations in MQRGs are associated with patient prognosis and immune cell infiltration characteristics. This comprehensive analysis of MQRGs can contribute to a deeper understanding of potential differences in ACC patients' tumor microenvironment. This can influence clinical decision-making and advanced prognosis prediction, thereby offering new insights into personalized treatments in ACC.
