Construction of an immune-related LncRNA signature with prognostic significance for bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most common urological cancer with increasing cases and deaths every year. In the present study, we aim to construct an immune-related prognostic lncRNA signature (IRPLS) in bladder cancer (BLCA) patients and explore its immunogenomic implications in pan-cancers. First, the immune-related differentially expressed lncRNAs (IRDELs) were identified by 'limma' R package and the score of IRPLS in every patient were evaluated by Cox regression. The dysregulation of IRDELs expression between cancer and para-cancer normal tissues was validated through RT-qPCR. Then, we further explore the biological functions of a novel lncRNA from IRPLS, RP11-89 in BLCA using CCK8 assay, Transwell assay and Apoptosis analysis, which indicated that RP11-89 was able to promote ce
