Competitive Endogenous RNA Network Involving Immune Subgroups, Infiltration, and lncRNAs in Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in the male genitourinary tract. However, the regulatory mechanism of competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in PCa remains unclear. In this study, we first performed immune scores of mRNA data from 481 PCa samples using single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA). Based on the immune scores, we then evaluated the tumor immune microenvironment and analyzed 28 types of immune cells in PCa, we constructed a comprehensive network with four lncRNAs (MEG3, PCAT1, SNHG19, TRG-AS1), three miRNAs (hsa-miR-488-3p, hsa-miR-210-5p, hsa-miR-137), and twenty-seven mRNAs (including H2AFJ, THBS1, HPGD). Among the 28 immune cell types, seven immune cell types were found to be significantly associated with clinical characteristics. The
