description Abstract Long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, P53 induced transcript (LINC-PINT) exhibits different expression patterns in the majority of tumors, yet its relationship with cancer prognosis remains a subject of debate. This study aims to comprehensively investigate the prognostic significance of LINC-PINT in diverse human cancer. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to identify pertinent studies exploring the correlation between LINC-PINT expression and cancer patients. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and in vitro validation were used to validate the results of the meta-analysis and to investigate the potential oncogenic mechanism of LINC-PINT. The meta-analysis encompassed 8 studies, involving 911 patients. The pooled analysis demonstrated a significant association between upregulation of LINC-PINT expression and better survival (P = 0.002) during the cancers. Meanwhile, its downregulation was correlated with advanced tumor staging (P = 0.04) and tumor differentiation (P = 0.03). Additionally, bioinformatics analysis showed that LINC-PINT expression was observed to be linked with Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) and Microsatellite Instability (MSI) in tumors, the results of bioinformatics were verified by qRT-PCR. And functional enrichment analysis hinted at its involvement in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Dysregulated LICN-PINT expression is associated with the clinical prognostic and pathological features of various cancers, exhibiting substantial potential as a novel prognostic biomarker.
