Ovarian cancer (OCa) is a common malignancy in women, and the role of cuproptosis and its related genes in OCa is unclear. Using the GSE14407 dataset, we analyzed the expression and correlation of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) between tumor and normal groups. From the TCGA-OV dataset, we identified 20 cuproptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (CuLncs) associated with patient survival through univariate Cox analysis. OCa patients were divided into early-stage and late-stage groups to analyze CuLncs expression. Cluster analysis classified patients into two clusters, with Cluster1 having a poorer prognosis. Significant differences in "Lymphatic Invasion" and "Cancer status" were observed between clusters. Seven CRGs showed significant expression differences, validated using the human protein atlas (HPA) databases. Immune analysis revealed a higher ImmuneScore in Cluster1. GSEA identified associated signaling pathways. LASSO regression included 11 CuLncs to construct and validate a survival prediction model, classifying patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. Correlations between riskScore, Cluster phenotype, ImmuneScore, and immune cell infiltration were explored. Cell experiments showed that knocking down AC023644.1 decreases OCa cell viability. In conclusion, we constructed an accurate prognostic model for OCa based on 11 CuLncs, providing a basis for prognosis assessment and potential immunotherapy targets.
卵巢癌(OCa)是女性常见的恶性肿瘤,而铜死亡及其相关基因在OCa中的作用尚不清楚。利用GSE14407数据集,我们分析了肿瘤组和正常组之间铜死亡相关基因(CRGs)的表达及相关性。从TCGA-OV数据集中,我们通过单因素Cox分析确定了20个与患者生存相关的铜死亡相关长链非编码RNA(CuLncs)。将OCa患者分为早期和晚期组以分析CuLncs的表达。聚类分析将患者分为两个聚类,聚类1的预后较差。在两个聚类之间观察到“淋巴浸润”和“癌症状态”存在显著差异。7个CRGs表现出显著的表达差异,并使用人类蛋白质图谱(HPA)数据库进行了验证。免疫分析显示聚类1中的免疫评分较高。基因集富集分析(GSEA)确定了相关的信号通路。LASSO回归纳入11个CuLncs构建并验证了生存预测模型,将患者分为高风险和低风险组。探索了风险评分、聚类表型、免疫评分和免疫细胞浸润之间的相关性。细胞实验表明,敲低AC023644.1可降低OCa细胞活力。总之,我们基于11个CuLncs构建了一个准确的OCa预后模型,为预后评估和潜在的免疫治疗靶点提供了依据。
