BackgroundPancreatic cancer is associated with high mortality and is one of the most aggressive of malignancies, but studies have not fully evaluated its molecular subtypes, prognosis and response to immunotherapy of different subtypes. The purpose of this study was to explore the molecular subtypes and the key genes associated with the prognosis of pancreas cancer patients and study the clinical phenotype, prognosis and response to immunotherapy using single-cell seq data and bulk RNA seq data, and data retrieved from GEO and TCGA databases.Methods    Single-cell seq data and bioinformatics methods were used in this study. Pancreatic cancer data were retrieved from GEO and TCGA databases, the molecular subtypes of pancreatic cancer were determined using the six cGAS-STING related pathways, and the clinical phenotype, mutation, immunological characteristics and pathways related to pancreatic cancer were evaluated.Results    Pancreatic cancer was classified into 3 molecular subtypes, and survival analysis revealed that patients in Cluster3 (C3) had the worst prognosis, whereas Cluster1 (C1) had the best prognosis. The clinical phenotype and gene mutation were statistically different among the three molecular subtypes. Analysis of immunotherapy response revealed that most immune checkpoint genes were differentially expressed in the three subtypes. A lower risk of immune escape was observed in Cluster1 (C1), indicating higher sensitivity to immunotherapeutic drugs and subjects in this Cluster are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. The pathways related to pancreatic cancer were differentially enriched among the three subtypes. Five genes, namely SFRP1, GIPR, EMP1, COL17A and CXCL11 were selected to construct a prognostic signature.Conclusions    Single-cell seq data were to classify pancreatic cancer into three molecular subtypes based on differences in clinical phenotype, mutation, immune characteristics and differentially enriched pathways. Five prognosis-related genes were identified for prediction of survival of pancreatic cancer patients and to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy in various subtypes.
