A Novel Prognostic Model Based On Autophagy-Related Long Non-Coding Rnas For Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
FRONTIERS IN ONCOLOGY(2021)
摘要
Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the urinary system, of which the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) accounts for the most subtypes. The increasing discoveries of abundant autophagy-related long noncoding RNAs (ARLNRs) lead to a resurgent interest in evaluating their potential on prognosis prediction. Based on a large number of ccRCC gene samples from TCGA and clinics, ARLNRs analysis will provide a novel perspective into this field. Methods: We calculated the autophagy scores of each sample according to the expression levels of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) and screened the survival-related ARLNRs (sARLNRs) of ccRCC patients by Cox regression analysis. The high-risk group and the low-risk group were distinguished by the median score of the autophagy-related risk score (ARRS) model. The functional annotations were detected by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and principal component analysis (PCA). The expression levels of two kinds of sARLNRs in the renal tumor and adjacent normal tissues and cell lines were verified. Results: There were 146 ARLNRs selected by Pearson analysis. A total of 30 sARLNRs were remarkably correlated with the clinical outcomes of ccRCC patients. Eleven sARLNRs (AC002553.1, AC092611.2, AL360181.2, AP002807.1, AC098484.1, AL513218.1, AC008735.2, MHENCR, AC020907.4, AC011462.4, and AC008870.2) with the highest prognosis value were recruited to establish the ARRS in which the overall survival (OS) in the high-risk group was shorter than that in the low-risk group. ARRS could be treated as an independent prognostic factor and has significant correlations with OS. The distributions of autophagy genes were different between the high-risk group and the low-risk group. In addition, we also found that the expression levels of AC098484.1 in ccRCC cell lines and tumor tissues were lower than those in HK2 and adjacent normal tissues, but AL513218.1 showed the inverse level. Furthermore, the AC098484.1 expressed decreasingly with the more advanced T-stages, but AL513218.1 gradually increased.Conclusion: Our study identified and verified some sARLNRs with clinical significances and revealed their potential values on predicting prognoses of ccRCC patients, which may provide a novel perspective for autophagy-related research and clinical decisions.
