The development and validation of a m6A-lncRNAs based prognostic model for overall survival in lung squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No biomarkers have been identified for the prognosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Risk models based on m6A-lncRNAs help to predict survival in some cancers. However, very few studies have reported m6A-lncRNA risk models in LUSC. We aimed to construct a prognostic model based on m6A-lncRNAs in LUSC.

Methods

The clinical and RNA-sequencing information of 504 LUSC patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Prognostic m6A-lncRNAs were identified by a Pearson correlation analysis and univariate Cox regression analysis. The ConsensusClusterPlus algorithm was used to cluster the prognostic m6A-lncRNAs. The overall survival (OS) and clinicopathological characteristics of the 2 clusters were compared. A gene set enrichment analysis (G
