Integrated Analysis of a Competing Endogenous RNA Network Reveals a Prognostic Signature in Kidney Renal Papillary Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) is a relatively rare type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Currently, most kidney cancer studies primarily focus on RCC, and there has been no investigation to find a robust signature to predict the survival outcome of KIRP patients. In this study, we constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, including 1,251 lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions. Eight differentially expressed genes (IGF2BP3, PLK1, LINC00200, NCAPG, CENPF, miR-217, GAS6-As1, and LRRC4) based on the TCGA database were selected. The prognostic signature was established by combining the univariate Cox regression method and a stepwise regression method, with its predictive value validated by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. In conclusion, we id
