摘要
Esophageal cancer is a highly lethal malignancy with poor prognosis, and the identification of molecular biomarkers is crucial for improving diagnosis and treatment. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in the development and progression of esophageal cancer. However, due to the time cost of biological experiments, only a small number of lncRNAs related to esophageal cancer have been discovered. Currently, computational methods have emerged as powerful tools for identifying and characterizing lncRNAs, as well as predicting their potential functions. Therefore, this article proposes a transformer-based method for identifying esophageal cancer-related lncRNAs. Experimental results show that the AUC and AUPR of this method are superior to other comparison methods, with an AUC of 0.87 and an AUPR of 0.83, and the identified lncRNA targets are closely associated with esophageal cancer. We focus on the role of esophageal cancer-related lncRNAs in the immune microenvironment, and fully explore the functions of the target genes regulated by lncRNAs. Enrichment analysis shows that the predicted target genes are related to multiple pathways involved in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of esophageal cancer. This not only demonstrates the effectiveness of the method but also indicates the accuracy of the prediction results.
