ABSTRACT: Purpose: To identify the aberrant long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and explore the predictive value of lncRNA on the risk of brain metastases (BMs) for patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Patients and Methods: We executed an array of lncRNA and mRNA chip assays on peripheral blood mononuclear cells of SCLC patients with BM comparing to others without BMs to identify the lncRNAs relating to BMs. Then validation was conducted in clinical data to confirm the relationship of lncRNAs and BMs furtherly. We estimated the cumulative incidence of BMs using the Kaplan-Meier method and differences between the groups were analyzed using the log-rank test. Results: The expression of 67 lncRNAs (27 up, 40 down) and 47 mRNAs (20 up, 27 down) were different significantly in BM groups comparing to the group without BMs (fold change ≥ 2.0, p value ≤0.05) which were found by lncRNA and mRNA chip assays initially. Four lncRNAs were verified by qRT-PCR to confirm the accuracy of the microarray data and then the results of 11 pairs of patients (11 patients with BMs, while 11 patients without BMs) showed that low expression of LncRNA XR_429159.1 was the high-risk factor of BM. Further clinical data showed that the BM incidence of 25 patients with low level LncRNA XR_429159.1 was 31% at 1-year, and that was 14.3% in the 18 patients with high level LncRNA XR_429159.1, p = 0.035. Conclusion: Our present study identified that low expression of lncRNA XR_429159.1 was the high-risk factor of BM in patients with limited-stage SCLC.
