Identifying Oxidized Lipid Metabolism-Related LncRNAs as Prognostic Biomarkers of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The relationship between oxidized lipid metabolism and the immunological function of cancer is well known. However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs associated with oxidized lipid metabolism in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain to be fully elucidated. In this stu...

description The relationship between oxidized lipid metabolism and the immunological function of cancer is well known. However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs associated with oxidized lipid metabolism in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we established an oxidized lipid metabolism-related lncRNA prognostic signature to assess the prognosis and immune infiltration of HNSCC patients. The HNSCC transcriptome was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The choice of the target genes with a relevance score greater than 10 was performed via a correlation analysis by GeneCards. Patients were categorized by risk score and generated with multivariate Cox regression, which was then validated and evaluated using the Kaplan–Meier analysis and time-dependent receiver operating characteristics (ROC). A nomogram was constructed by combining the risk score with the clinical data. We constructed a risk score with 24 oxidized lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs. The areas’ 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.765, 0.724, and 0.724, respectively. Furthermore, the nomogram clearly distinguished the survival probabilities of patients in high- and low-risk groups, between which substantial variations were revealed by immune infiltration analysis. The results supported the fact that oxidized lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs might predict prognoses and assist with differentiating amid differences in immune infiltration in HNSCC.
