A long non-coding RNA signature to improve prognostic prediction of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
2019
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most aggressive solid malignant tumors worldwide. Increasing investigations demonstrate long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) expression is abnormally dysregulated in cancers. It is crucial to identify and predict the prognosis of patients for the selection of the further therapeutic treatment. Methods: PDAC lncRNAs abundance profiles were used to establish signature that could better predict the prognosis of PDAC patients. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was applied to establish a multi-lncRNA signature in TCGA training cohort (N=107). Then the signature was validated in TCGA validation cohort (N=70) and another independent Fudan cohort (N=46). Results: A five-lncRNA signature was constructed and it was significantly related to the overall survival (OS) either in the training or validation cohorts. Through the subgroup and Cox regression analyses, the signature was proved to be independent of other clinic-pathologic parameters. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis also indicated that our signature had a better predictive capacity of PDAC prognosis. Furthermore, ClueGO and CluePedia analyses showed that a number of cancer-related and drug response pathways were enriched in high risk groups. Conclusions: Identifying the five-lncRNA signature (RP11-159F24.5, RP11-744N12.2, RP11-388M20.1, RP11-356C4.5, CTC-459F4.9) may provide insight into personalized prognosis prediction and new therapies for PDAC patients.
