This study investigated the prognostic impact of migrasome-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We analyzed transcriptomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, comprising 541 tumor samples and 59 normal tissue samples, to pinpoint key migrasome genes and related lncRNAs, using correlation analysis to detect those pertinent to patient outcomes. A risk score model based on 17 migrasome-related lncRNAs, constructed via univariate, LASSO, and multivariate Cox regression, was then validated in an independent dataset to ensure reliability. Our findings revealed that high-risk patients exhibited worse overall and progression-free survival, alongside altered immune features, such as potential immune evasion and an increased propensity for immunotherapy responsiveness. Moreover, Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) analyses suggested that individuals with higher scores could experience greater benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. Functional enrichment analysis supported the engagement of migrasome-related pathways and immune-regulatory processes that may drive disease progression. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) confirmed the robustness of our lncRNA-driven classifier, enabling accurate differentiation of risk cohorts. Overall, our study underscores the contribution of migrasome-related lncRNAs in predicting LUAD prognosis and informing clinical choices, shedding light on tumor biology and immunotherapy response. These results emphasize the clinical importance of migrasome-related lncRNAs as promising therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers in LUAD management.
本研究调查了迁移小体相关长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)在肺腺癌(LUAD)中的预后影响。我们分析了来自癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库的转录组数据,其中包括541个肿瘤样本和59个正常组织样本,以确定关键的迁移小体基因和相关lncRNA,通过相关性分析来检测与患者预后相关的基因。然后,通过单变量、LASSO和多变量Cox回归构建了一个基于17个迁移小体相关lncRNA的风险评分模型,并在一个独立的数据集中进行验证以确保可靠性。我们的研究结果显示,高风险患者的总生存期和无进展生存期较差,同时免疫特征也发生了改变,如潜在的免疫逃逸和免疫治疗反应倾向增加。此外,肿瘤免疫功能障碍与排除(TIDE)分析表明,得分较高的个体可能从免疫检查点抑制剂中获益更多。功能富集分析支持了迁移小体相关途径和免疫调节过程的参与,这些过程可能推动疾病进展。此外,主成分分析(PCA)证实了我们基于lncRNA的分类器的稳健性,能够准确区分风险队列。总体而言,我们的研究强调了迁移小体相关lncRNA在预测LUAD预后和指导临床选择方面的作用,为肿瘤生物学和免疫治疗反应提供了线索。这些结果强调了迁移小体相关lncRNA作为LUAD管理中有前景的治疗靶点和预后生物标志物的临床重要性。
