Identification of a three-long non-coding RNA signature for predicting survival of temozolomide-treated isocitrate dehydrogenase mutant low-grade gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Temozolomide (TMZ) is the major chemotherapy agent in glioma, and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is a well-known prognostic marker in glioma. O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter methylation (MGMTmethyl) is a predictive biomarker in overall gliomas rather than in IDH mutant gliomas. To discover effective biomarkers that could predict TMZ efficacy in IDH mutant low-grade gliomas (LGGs), we retrieved data of IDH mutant LGGs from TMZ arm of the EORTC22033-26033 trial as the training-set (n = 83), analyzed correlations between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and progression-free survival (PFS) using Lasso-Cox regression, and created a risk score (RS) to stratify patients. We identified a three-lncRNA signature in TMZ-treated IDH mutant LGGs. All of the three lncRNAs, as well a
