Identification of cuproptosis-related long noncoding RNA signature for predicting prognosis and immunotherapy response in bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumour of the urinary system and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. Cuproptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death, and its mechanism in tumours remains unclear. This study aimed to establish the prognostic signatures of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs and determine their clinical prognostic value. RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas were used to detect the expression levels of cuproptosis-related genes in BC. Cuproptosis-related lncRNAs linked to survival were identified using co-expression and univariate Cox regression. Furthermore, consensus cluster analysis divided the lncRNAs into two subtypes. Subsequently, we established a signature model consisting of seven cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (AC073534.2, AC021
