Identification of Potential Long Non-coding RNA Expression Quantitative Trait Methylations in Lung Adenocarcinoma and Lung Squamous Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: There are associations between DNA methylation and the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), also known as lncRNA expression quantitative trait methylations (lnc-eQTMs). Lnc-eQTMs may induce a wide range of carcinogenesis pathways. However, lnc-eQTMs have not been globally identified and studied, and their roles in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC) are largely unknown. In the present study, we identified some differential methylation sites located in genes of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) and other types of lncRNAs in LUAD and LUSC. An integrated pipeline was established to construct two global cancer-specific regulatory networks of lnc-eQTMs in LUAD and LUSC. The associations between eQTMs showed common and specific features between LUAD and LUSC. Some lnc-eQTMs were also related with survival in LUAD- and LUSC-specific regulatory networks. Lnc-eQTMs were associated with cancer-related functions, such as lung epithelium development and vasculogenesis by functional analysis. Drug repurposing analysis revealed that these lnc-eQTMs may mediate the effects of some anesthesia-related drugs in LUAD and LUSC. In summary, the present study elucidates the roles of lnc-eQTMs in LUAD and LUSC, which could improve our understanding of lung cancer pathogenesis and facilitate treatment.

Project description:BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to investigate the signature of the autophagy-related lncRNAs (ARLs) and perform integrated analysis with immune infiltration in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC).Methods and resultsThe UCSC Xena and HADb databases provided the corresponding data. The ARLs were selected via constructing a co-expression network of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) and lncRNAs. Univariate Cox regression analysis combined with LASSO regression and multivariate Cox regression analysis were utilized to screen lncRNAs. The ARL risk signature was established by Cox regression and tested if it was an independent element bound up with patient prognosis. We used the xCell algorithm and ssGSEA to clarify the pertinence between immune infiltration and the expression of ARLs. Finally, we predicted the sensitivity of drug treatment as well as the immune response. Results indicated that the three prognostic ARLs (SMURF2P1, MIR9-3HG, and AC005332.4) possessed significant diversity and constituted the ARL signature. Risk score was an individual element (HR = 2.82, 95% CI = 1.87-4.30; p < 0.001). Immune infiltration analysis revealed significant increases in central memory CD8+ T cells, endothelial cells, CD8+ naive T cells, and preadipocytes in the high-risk group (p < 0.05). There were 10 therapeutic agents that varied significantly in their estimated half-maximal inhibitory concentrations in the two groups. According to the experimental validation, we found that SMURF2P1 belongs to the co-stimulatory genes and might assume greater importance in the development of cervical adenocarcinoma. MIR9-3HG and AC005332.4 belonged to the tumor-suppressor genes and they may play a more positive role in cervical squamous cell carcinoma.ConclusionsThis research explored and validated a novel signature of the ARLs, which can be applied to forecast the prognosis of patients with CESC and is closely associated with immune infiltration.
