LncSEA: a platform for long non-coding RNA related sets and enrichment analysis.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proven to play important roles in transcriptional processes and various biological functions. Establishing a comprehensive collection of human lncRNA sets is urgent work at present. Using reference lncRNA sets, enrichment analyses will be useful for analyzing lncRNA lists of interest submitted by users. Therefore, we developed a human lncRNA sets database, called LncSEA, which aimed to document a large number of available resources for human lncRNA sets and provide annotation and enrichment analyses for lncRNAs. LncSEA supports >40 000 lncRNA reference sets across 18 categories and 66 sub-categories, and covers over 50 000 lncRNAs. We not only collected lncRNA sets based on downstream regulatory data sources, but also identified a large number of lncRNA sets regulated by upstream transcription factors (TFs) and DNA regulatory elements by integrating TF ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq data. Importantly, LncSEA provides annotation and enrichment analyses of lncRNA sets associated with upstream regulators and downstream targets. In summary, LncSEA is a powerful platform that provides a variety of types of lncRNA sets for users, and supports lncRNA annotations and enrichment analyses. The LncSEA database is freely accessible at http://bio.liclab.net/LncSEA/index.php.

Project description:BackgroundBladder cancer is ranked the second most frequent tumor among urological malignancies. The research strived to establish a prognostic model based on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in bladder cancer.MethodsWe extracted the ERS-related genes from the published research and bladder cancer data from the Cancer Genome Atlas database. ERS-related lncRNAs with prognostic significance were screened by univariate Cox regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox analysis was leveraged to establish the risk score model. Moreover, an independent dataset, GSE31684, was used to validate the model's efficacy. The nomogram was constructed based on the risk score and clinical variables. Furthermore, the biological functions, gene mutations, and immune landscape were investigated to uncover the underlying mechanisms of the ERS-related signature. Finally, we employed external datasets (GSE55433 and GSE89006) and qRT-PCR to investigate the expression profile of these lncRNAs in bladder cancer tissues and cells.ResultsSix ERS-related lncRNAs were identified to be closely coupled with patients' prognosis. On this foundation, a risk score model was created to generate the risk score for each patient. The ERS-related risk score was shown to be an independent prognostic factor. And the results of GSE31684 dataset also supported this conclusion. Then, a nomogram was constructed based on risk scores and clinical characteristics, and proven to have excellent predictive value. Moreover, the gene function analysis demonstrated that ERS-related lncRNAs were closely linked to fatty extracellular matrix, cytokines, cell adhesion, and tumor pathways. Further analysis revealed the association of the 6-lncRNAs signature with gene mutations and immunity in bladder cancer. Finally, the external datasets and qRT-PCR verified high expressions of the ERS-related lncRNAs in bladder cancer tissues and cells.ConclusionsOverall, our findings indicated that ERS-related lncRNAs, which may affect tumor pathogenesis in a number of ways, might be exploited to assess the prognosis of bladder cancer patients.
