Identification and prognostic evaluation of differentially expressed long noncoding RNAs associated with immune infiltration in osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer that originates from the bone with the strongest invasiveness. Tumor formation strongly correlates with immune cell infiltration into the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Therefore, we aimed to identify TIME-related biomarkers as potential prognostic markers of osteosarcoma. The mRNA and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) transcriptome data of 88 patients with osteosarcoma and the expression profile of GSE99671 were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus, respectively. Immune infiltration scores and types were evaluated using ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT. A linear model was established to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs). Functional enrichment analysis of DEGs was conducted by Gene Ontolo
