Recurrence-Associated Long Non-coding RNA Signature for Determining the Risk of Recurrence in Patients with Colon Cancer

Patients with colon cancer are often faced a high risk of disease recurrence within 5 years of treatment that is the major cause of cancer mortality. Reliable molecular markers were required to improve the most effective personalized therapy. Here, we identified a recurrence-associated six-lncRNA (l...

description Patients with colon cancer are often faced a high risk of disease recurrence within 5 years of treatment that is the major cause of cancer mortality. Reliable molecular markers were required to improve the most effective personalized therapy. Here, we identified a recurrence-associated six-lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) signature (LINC0184, AC105243.1, LOC101928168, ILF3-AS1, MIR31HG, and AC006329.1) that can effectively distinguish between high and low risk of cancer recurrence from 389 patients of a discovery dataset, and validated its robust performance in four independent datasets comprising a total of 906 colon cancer patients. We found that the six-lncRNA signature was an independent predictive factor of disease recurrence in multivariate analysis and was superior to the performance of clinical factors and known gene signature. Furthermore, in silico functional analysis showed that the six-lncRNA-signature-associated coding genes are significantly enriched in proliferation and angiogenesis, cell death, as well as critical cancer pathways that could play important roles in colon cancer recurrence. Together, the six-lncRNA signature holds great potential for recurrence risk assessment and personalized management of colon cancer patients.
