Identification of three lncRNA-related prognostic signatures in gastric cancer by integrated multi-omics analysis

Abstract

Aims: The systematic identification of molecular features correlated with the clinical status of gastric cancer (GC) in patients is significant, although such investigation remains insufficient. Methods: GC subtyping based on RNA sequencing, copy number variation and DNA methylation data were derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas program. Prognostics lncRNA biomarkers for GC were identified by univariate Cox, LASSO and SVM-RFE analysis. Results: Three molecular subtypes with significant survival discrepancies, and their specific DEmRNAs and DElncRNAs were identified. Three reliable prognostic-associated lncRNA, including LINC00670, LINC00452 and LINC00160, were selected for GC. Conclusion: Our findings expanded the understanding on the regulatory network of lncRNAs in GC, providing potential targets for prognosis and treatment of GC patients.
