Nevertheless, the quest for reliable predictive biomarkers for HCC remains ongoing. Recent research has demonstrated a close correlation between ferroptosis and disulﬁdptosis, two cellular processes, and cancer prognosis, suggesting their potential as predictive factors for HCC. In this study, we employed a combination of bioinformatics algorithms and machine learning techniques, leveraging RNA sequencing data, mutation proﬁles, and clinical data from HCC samples in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) databases, to develop a risk prognosis model based on genes associated with ferroptosis and disulﬁdptosis. We conducted an unsupervised clustering analysis, calculating a risk score (RS) to predict the prognosis of HCC using these genes. Clustering analysis revealed two distinct HCC clusters, each characterized by signiﬁcantly different prognostic and immune features. The median RS stratiﬁed HCC samples in the TCGA, GEO, and ICGC cohorts into high-and low-risk groups. Importantly, RS emerged as an independent prognostic factor in all three cohorts, with the high-risk group  \ndemonstrating poorer prognosis and a more active immunosuppressive microenvironment. Additionally, the high-risk group exhibited higher expression levels of tumor mutation burden (TMB), immune checkpoints (ICs), and human leukocyte antigen (HLA), suggesting a heightened responsiveness to immunotherapy. A cancer stem cell inﬁltration analysis revealed a higher similarity between tumor cells and stem cells in the high-risk group. Furthermore, drug sensitivity analysis highlighted signiﬁcant differences in response to antitumor drugs between the two risk groups.  \nIn summary, our risk prognostic model, constructed based on ferroptosis-related genes associated with disulﬁdptosis, effectively predicts HCC prognosis. These ﬁndings hold potential implications for patient stratiﬁcation and clinical decision-making, offering valuable theoretical insights in this ﬁeld.  \nSubjects Bioinformatics, Oncology, Pathology  \nKeywords Ferroptosis, Disulﬁdptosis, HCC, Prognosis model, Tumor microenvironment  \nHow to cite this article Wei J, Wang J, Chen X, Zhang L, Peng M. 2024.
