A seven-lncRNA signature for predicting Ewing's sarcoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs with unique characteristics. These RNA can regulate cancer cells' survival, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis and are potential diagnostic and prognostic markers. We identified a seven-lncRNA signature related to the overall survival (OS) of patients with Ewing's sarcoma (EWS).

Methods

We used an expression profile from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database as a training cohort to screen out the OS-associated lncRNAs in EWS and further established a seven-lncRNA signature using univariate Cox regression, the least absolute shrinkage, and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis. The prognostic lncRNA signature was validated in an external dataset from the International Can
