Discovery of tumor immune infiltration-related snoRNAs for predicting tumor immune microenvironment status and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has a high mortality rate and is difficult to diagnose and treat in its early stage. Previous studies have demonstrated that small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play a critical role in tumor immune infiltration and the development of a variety of solid tumors. However, there have been no studies on the correlation between tumor-infiltrating immune-related snoRNAs (TIISRs) and LUAD. In this study, we filtered six immune-related snoRNAs based on the tissue specificity index (TSI) and expression profile of all snoRNAs between all LUAD cell lines from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and 21 types of immune cells from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Further, we performed real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to validate the expression status of
