Association of lncRNA and transcriptome intersections with response to targeted therapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve an important role in cancer progression and may be used as efficient molecular biomarkers. The present study aimed to identify lncRNAs associated with the response to the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib and transcriptome profile and clinical features of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The gene expression of 84 cancer-associated lncRNAs in tumor and non-malignant tissue samples of 38 patients with mRCC was evaluated using quantitative PCR. In addition, the coding transcriptome was estimated using RNA sequencing in a subgroup of 20 patients and mRNA-lncRNA intersections were identified. In total, 37 and 13 lncRNAs were down- and upregulated, respectively, in tumor compared with non-malignant adjacent tissue samples. A total of 10 and
