A Necroptosis-Related lncRNA Signature Predicts Prognosis and Indicates the Immune Microenvironment in Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Background: The necroptosis and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are critical in the occurrence and development of malignancy, while the association between the necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS) remains controversial. Therefore, the present study aims to construct a no...

description | Background: The necroptosis and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are critical in the occurrence and development of malignancy, while the association between the necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS) remains controversial. Therefore, the present study aims to construct a novel signature based on NRlncRNAs to predict the prognosis of STS patients and investigate its possible role.Methods: The transcriptome data and clinical characteristics were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression database (GTEx). A novel NRlncRNA signature was established and verified by the COX regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. Subsequently, the K-M survival analysis, ROC, univariate, multivariate Cox regression analysis, and nomogram were used to evaluate the predictive value of the signature. Also, a variety of bioinformatic analysis algorithms explored the differences between the potential mechanism, tumor immune status, and drug sensitivity in the two-risk group. Finally, the RT-qPCR was performed to evaluate the expression of signature NRlncRNAs.Results: A novel signature consisting of seven NRlncRNAs was successfully established and verified with stable prediction performance and general applicability for STS. Next, the GSEA showed that the patients in the high-risk group were mainly enriched with tumor-related pathways, while the low-risk patients were significantly involved in immune-related pathways. In parallel, we found that the STS patients in the low-risk group had a better immune status than that in the high-risk group. Additionally, there were significant differences in the sensitivity to anti-tumor agents between the two groups. Finally, the RT-qPCR results indicated that these signature NRlncRNAs were abnormally expressed in STS.Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, it is the first study to construct an NRlncRNA signature for STS. More importantly, the novel signature displays stable value and translational potential for predicting prognosis, tumor immunogenicity, and therapeutic response in STS. |
