Histologically, melanoma tissues had fewer positive cells percentage of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs), GZMA, GSDMB, NLRP1, IL18, and CHMP4A in epidermal than in normal skin. Pyroptosis, a new frontier in cancer, affects the tumor microenvironment and tumor immunotherapy. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis remains controversial, which reason is partly due to the heterogeneity of the cellular composition in melanoma. In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the single-cell transcriptome landscape of pyroptosis in melanoma specimens. Our findings reveal dysregulation in the expression of PRGs, particularly in immune cells, such as CD8+ cells (representing CD8+ T cells) and CD57+ cells (representing NK cells). Additionally, the immunohistochemical and multiplex immunofluorescence staining experiments results further confirmed GZMA+ cells and GSDMB+ cells were predominantly expressed in immune cells, especially in CD8 + T cells and NK cells. Melanoma specimens secreted a minimal presence of GZMA+ merged CD8+ T cells (0.11%) and GSDMB+ merged CD57+ cells (0.08%), compared to the control groups exhibiting proportions of 4.02% and 0.62%, respectively. The aforementioned findings indicate that a reduced presence of immune cells within tumors may play a role in diminishing the ability of pyroptosis, consequently posing a potential risk to the anti-melanoma properties. To quantify clinical relevance, we constructed a prognostic risk model and an individualized nomogram (C-index=0.58, P = 0.002), suggesting a potential role of PRGs in malignant melanoma prevention. In conclusion, our integrated single-cell and bulk RNA-seq analysis identified immune cell clusters and immune gene modules with experiment validation, contributing to our better understanding of pyroptosis in melanoma.
