Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are crucial for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). This study investigates tumor cell gene signatures in LUAD using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk (RNA-seq), aiming to develop a prognostic marker signature (TSCMS) model. scRNA-seq RNA-seq data were analyzed. CytoTRACE software quantified the stemness score of tumor-derived epithelial clusters. Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) identified potential biological functions different The TSCMS model was constructed Lasso-Cox regression, its value assessed through Kaplan–Meier, Cox receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses. Immune infiltration evaluated Cibersortx algorithm, drug response prediction performed pRRophetic package. TAF10 functional investigations involved bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, assays proliferation. Seven distinct clusters by CytoTRACE, with cluster 1 (Epi_C1) showing highest potential. included 49 stemness-related genes; high-risk patients exhibited lower immune ESTIMATE scores increased purity. Significant differences landscapes chemotherapy sensitivity observed between risk groups. positively correlated expression-based various tumors, including LUAD. It over-expressed lines clinical tissues, high expression linked poor prognosis. Silencing inhibited proliferation sphere formation. demonstrates model's LUAD, reveals insights into therapeutic response, identifies as target.
