Identification of two molecular subtypes of dysregulated immune lncRNAs in ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has increasingly been identified as a key regulator in pathologies such as cancer. Multiple platforms were used for comprehensive analysis of ovarian cancer to identify molecular subgroups. However, lncRNA and its role in mapping the ovarian cancer subpopulation are still largely unknown. RNA-sequencing and clinical characteristics of ovarian cancer were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA). A total of 52 lncRNAs were identified as aberrant immune lncRNAs specific to ovarian cancer. We redefined two different molecular subtypes, C1(188) and C2(184 samples), in "iClusterPlus" R package, among which C2 grouped ovarian cancer samples have higher survival probability and longer median survival time (P <0.05) with activated IFN-gamma response
