Identification of Five Ferroptosis-Related LncRNAs as Novel Prognosis and Diagnosis Signatures for Renal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: Ferroptosis is a novel regulated cell death that is characterized by iron-dependent oxidative damage. Renal cancer is the second most common cancer of the urinary system, which is highly correlated with iron metabolism. The aim of our present study was to identify suitable ferroptosis-related prognosis signatures for renal cancer. Methods: We downloaded the RNA-seq count data of renal cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and used the DESeq2, Survival, and Cox regression analyses to screen the prognosis signatures. Results: We identified 5 ferroptosis-related differentially expressed lncRNAs (FR-DELs) (DOCK8-AS1, SNHG17, RUSC1-AS1, LINC02609, and LUCAT1) to be independently correlated with the overall survival (OS) of patients with renal cancer.
