Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an extremely aggressive tumor which susceptible to liver me-tastasis and is difficult to diagnose in the early stages. The interaction between immune cells, fibro-blasts and tumour cells within the tumour microenvironment forms the complex tumour microen-vironment of pancreatic cancer and plays an important role in its progression. Immunotherapy has made significant breakthroughs in advanced tumours such as melanoma, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, significantly prolonging patient survival days. However, in pancreatic cancer, the re-sponse rate to immune checkpoint inhibitors is only 5%, with limited efficacy. Numerous studies have shown that the abundance of immune cells correlates with patient prognosis and the efficacy of immunotherapy. Understanding the potential regulatory mechanisms between different immune subtypes of pancreatic cancer can help develop new targets for immunotherapy, guide the precise use of clinical drugs and predict the efficacy of immunotherapy. In this study, two distinct immune subtypes of pancreatic cancer were identified by consensus clustering of immune scores, stromal scores and tumour purity in 145 pancreatic cancer patients. Differential analysis, enrichment anal-ysis and protein interaction networks identified 30 hub genes that regulate the tumour microenvi-ronment. Subsequent analysis of single-cell sequencing data revealed that these hub genes were found in the highest densities in tumour cells and that these genes may be key genes regulating tumour cells with immune cells and fibroblasts. They play an important role in shaping the immu-nosuppressive tumour microenvironment in pancreatic cancer and may be new targets for immu-notherapy of pancreatic cancer. %K 胰腺导管腺癌,免疫亚型,一致性聚类,单细胞测序
