Prognostic pyroptosis-related lncRNA signature predicts the efficacy of immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common malignant tumor of the liver, remains high incidence and poor prognosis. Although pyroptosis as well as lncRNA have been believed to play important roles in the tumorigenesis, diagnosis and prognosis, the role of pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRlncRs) in HCC remains obscure. Here, we identified 73 significantly differentially expressed and overall survival (OS) related pyroptosis-related lncRNAs (PRlncRs) in noncancerous and HCC samples. Based on LASSO regression and Cox regression analyses, we set up a novel prognostic model including six PRlncRs (MKLN1-AS, AC139491.2, AC145207.5, AC099850.3, AL590705.3 and AL049840.5), which showed good correlation with the OS of HCC patients. Considering that the risk score was negatively related to clinicopatholog
