Integrated analysis of lymphocyte infiltration-associated lncRNA for ovarian cancer via TCGA, GTEx and GEO datasets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) play a significant role in the incidence and progression of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), which is a leading cause of mortality among gynecologic malignant tumor patients. In this study, our aim is to identify lncRNA-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA ) axes that could define more reliable prognostic parameters of HGSOC, and to investigate the lncRNAs' potential mechanism of in lymphocyte infiltration.

Methods

The RNA-seq and miRNA expression profiles were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database; while for obtaining the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), miRNAs (DEMs), and genes (DEGs), we used edgeR, limma and DESeq2. After vali
