A Prognostic Pyroptosis-Related lncRNAs Risk Model Correlates With the Immune Microenvironment in Colon Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may participate in the regulation of tumor cell proptosis. However, the connection between lncRNA expression and pyroptosis remains unclear in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). This study aims to explore and establish a prognostic signature of COAD based on the pyroptosis-related lncRNAs. We identify 15 prognostic pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (ZNF667-AS1, OIP5-AS1, AL118506.1, AF117829.1, POC1B-AS1, CCDC18-AS1, THUMPD3-AS1, FLNB-AS1, SNHG11, HCG18, AL021707.2, UGDH-AS1, LINC00641, FGD5-AS1 and AC245452.1) from the TCGA-COAD dataset and use them to construct the risk model. After then, this pyroptosis-related lncRNA signature is validated in patients from the GSE17536 dataset. The COAD patients are divided into low-risk and high-ris
