Background: Cancer diagnoses and deaths among the elderly (65 +) are expected to increase significantly over the next decade. Immune checkpoint inhibitors specifically target ICI genes and enhance immune system function. However, poor outcomes may be associated with aging. Methods: We downloaded the Genomic Data Commons from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and collected gene expression data from malignant melanoma (MM) tissues, the third level as the primary site. The CKTTD ICI genes database were applied and validated using the GEO database and lab experiments. Results: In 414 patients, 13 ICI genes were obtained as risk gene signature by univariate and multivariate Cox hazard models and were associated with poor survival in the older group. At 1, 3, and 5 years (79%, 76%, and 76%, respectively), we investigate TNFRFS4 gene and age prediction using novel nomogram-associated aging (HR = 1.79, P 0.001, CI = 1.32–2.45) with higher sensitivity testing.TNFRSF4 gene expression was significantly high in younger (15 years interval) MM patients (P < 0.001). By correlation analysis, a significant negative association was determined (P < 0.001). The validation of gene correlation from GEO (GSE59455) and (GSE22153) was obtained as external validation. We tested the TNFRSF4 protein levels by IHC in 14 melanoma tissue samples. TNFRSF4 expression was observed to be lower expressed in the older of melanoma tissues, and higher in the younger age group (P = 0.02). Besides the connectivity of ICI gene proteins, the biological processes of cell aging, aging, and the immune system were found to be highly related. Conclusions: Along with the risk score evaluation, the ICI gene (TNFRSF4) was identified as a tumor suppressor gene related to inequalities in age survival and associated with immune cell infiltrations. The aging responses of melanoma patients and related gene expression need further investigation in order to identify potential therapeutic targets.
