Abstract
Background: To explore the role of fatty acid metabolism (FAM)-related lncRNAs in the prognosis and antitumor immunity of serous ovarian cancer (SOC). Materials & methods: A SOC FAM-related lncRNA risk model was developed and evaluated by a series of analyses. Additional immune-related analyses were performed to further assess the associations between immune state, tumor microenvironment and the prognostic risk model. Results: Five lncRNAs associated with the FAM genes were found and used to create a predictive risk model. The patients with a low-risk profile exhibited favorable prognostic outcomes. Conclusion: The established prognostic risk model exhibits better predictive capabilities for the prognosis of patients with SOC and offers novel potential therapy targets for SOC.

Identification of a DNA damage repair-related LncRNA signature for predicting the prognosis and immunotherapy response of hepatocellular carcinoma. BMC Genomics 2024; 25:155. [PMID: 38326754 PMCID: PMC10851502 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-024-10055-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND DNA damage repair (DDR) may affect tumorigenesis and therapeutic response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) can regulate DDR and play a vital role in maintaining genomic stability in cancers. Here, we identified a DDR-related prognostic signature in HCC and explored its potential clinical value. METHODS Data of HCC samples were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and a list of DDR-related genes was extracted from the Molecular Signatures database (MSigDB). A DDR-related lncRNAs signature associated to overall survival (OS) was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-cox regression, and was further validated by the Kaplan-Meier curve and receiver operating characteristic curve. A nomogram integrating other clinical risk factors was established. Moreover, the relationships between the signature with somatic mutation, immune landscape and drug sensitivity were explored. RESULTS The prognostic model of 5 DDR-related lncRNAs was constructed and classified patients into two risk groups at median cut-off. The low-risk group had a better OS, and the signature was an independent prognostic indicator in HCC. A nomogram of the signature combined with TNM stage was constructed. TP53 gene was more frequently mutated in the high-risk group. Marked differences in immune cells were observed, such as CD4 + T cells, NK cells and macrophages, between the two groups. Moreover, an increase in the expression of immune checkpoint molecules was found in the high-risk group. The low-risk group presented with a significantly higher response to sorafenib or cisplatin. Finally, potential value of this signature was validated in real-world HCC patients. CONCLUSION Our findings provided a promising insight into DDR-related lncRNAs in HCC and a personalized prediction tool for prognosis and therapeutic response.
