A novel immune-related radioresistant lncRNAs signature based model for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Background and purpose: Radioresistance remains a major reason of radiotherapeutic failure in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Our study is to screen the immune-related long non-coding RNA (ir-lncRNAs) of radiation-resistant ESCC (rr-ESCC) via Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and to...

description Background and purpose: Radioresistance remains a major reason of radiotherapeutic failure in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Our study is to screen the immune-related long non-coding RNA (ir-lncRNAs) of radiation-resistant ESCC (rr-ESCC) via Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and to construct a prognostic risk model.Methods: Microarray data (GSE45670) related to radioresistance of ESCC was downloaded from GEO. Based on pathologic responses after chemoradiotherapy, patients were divided into a non-responder (17 samples) and responder group (11 samples), and the difference in expression profiles of ir-lncRNAs were compared therein. Ir-lncRNA pairs were constructed for the differentially expressed lncRNAs as prognostic variables, and the microarray dataset (GSE53625) was downloaded from GEO to verify the effect of ir-lncRNA pairs on the long-term survival of ESCC. After modelling, patients are divided into high- and low-risk groups according to prognostic risk scores, and the outcomes were compared within groups based on the COX proportional hazards model. The different expression of ir-lncRNAs were validated using ECA 109 and ECA 109R cell lines via RT-qPCR.Results: 26 ir-lncRNA genes were screened in the GSE45670 dataset with differential expression, and 180 ir-lncRNA pairs were constructed. After matching with ir-lncRNA pairs constructed by GSE53625, six ir-lncRNA pairs had a significant impact on the prognosis of ESCC from univariate analysis model, of which three ir-lncRNA pairs were significantly associated with prognosis in multivariate COX analysis. These three lncRNA pairs were used as prognostic indicators to construct a prognostic risk model, and the predicted risk scores were calculated. With a median value of 2.371, the patients were divided into two groups. The overall survival (OS) in the high-risk group was significantly worse than that in the low-risk group (p < 0.001). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year prediction performance of this risk-model was 0.666, 0.702, and 0.686, respectively. In the validation setting, three ir-lncRNAs were significantly up-regulated, while two ir-lncRNAs were obviouly down-regulated in the responder group.Conclusion: Ir-lncRNAs may be involved in the biological regulation of radioresistance in patients with ESCC; and the prognostic risk-model, established by three ir-lncRNAs pairs has important clinical value in predicting the prognosis of patients with rr-ESCC.
