Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignant tumor affecting males worldwide. The substantial heterogeneity in PCa presents a major challenge with respect to molecular analyses, patient stratification, and treatment. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to select eight risk-CpG sites. Using an unsupervised clustering analysis, called consensus clustering, we found that patients with PCa could be divided into two subtypes (Methylation_H and Methylation_L) based on the DNA methylation status at these CpG sites. Differences in the epigenome, genome, transcriptome, disease status, immune cell composition, and function between the identified subtypes were explored using The Cancer Genome Atlas database. This analysis clearly revealed the risk characteristics of the Methylation_H subtype. Using a weighted correlation network analysis to select risk-related genes and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, we constructed a prediction signature for prognosis based on the subtype classification. We further validated its effectiveness using four public datasets. The two novel PCa subtypes and risk predictive signature developed in this study may be effective indicators of prognosis.
