Comprehensive landscape of tRNA-derived fragments in lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived fragment (tRDF) is a novel small non-coding RNA that presents in different types of cancer. The comprehensive understanding of tRDFs in non-small cell lung cancer remains largely unknown. In this study, 1,550 patient samples of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were included, and 52 tRDFs with four subtypes were identified. Six tRDFs were picked as diagnostic signatures based on the tRDFs expression patterns, and area under the curve (AUC) in independent validations is up to 0.90. Two signatures were validated successfully in plasma samples, and six signatures confirmed the consistency of distinguished expression in NSCLC cell lines. Ten tRDFs along with independent risk scores can be used to predict survival outcomes by stages; 5a_tRF-Ile-AAT/GAT can be a prog
