Evaluating the utility of an immune checkpoint-related lncRNA signature for identifying the prognosis and immunotherapy response of lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most frequent subtype of lung cancer globally. However, the survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients remains low. Immune checkpoints and long noncoding RNAs are emerging as vital tools for predicting the immunotherapeutic response and outcomes of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. It is critical to identify lncRNAs associated with immune checkpoints in lung adenocarcinoma patients. In this study, immune checkpoint-related lncRNAs (IClncRNAs) were analysed and identified by coexpression. Based on the immune checkpoint-related lncRNAs, we divided patients with lung adenocarcinoma into two clusters and constructed a risk model. Kaplan-Meier analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, and nomogram analysis of the 2 clusters and the risk model were performed.
