ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Glioma is a central nervous system tumor arising from glial cells. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, most patients with high-grade gliomas have a poor prognosis. Many studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play important roles in the development, progression and treatment of many tumors, including gliomas. Molecularly targeted therapy may be a new direction for the adjuvant treatment of glioma. Therefore, we hope that by studying differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in glioma, we can discover lncRNAs that can serve as biomarkers for glioma and provide better therapeutic modalities for glioma patients.METHODS:
First, the expression of lncRNAs in 5 normal brain (NB) tissues and 10 glioma tissues was examined by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Next, we performed Kaplan-Meier analysis of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to assess the prognostic value of these variables. Finally, functional analysis of the DElncRNAs was performed by means of Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis.RESULTS:
RNA sequencing analysis revealed 85 upregulated miRNAs and 71 downregulated lncRNAs in low-grade glioma (LGG) and 50 upregulated lncRNAs and 70 downregulated lncRNAs in glioblastoma (GBM). Among them, AL355974.3 was the most upregulated lncRNA. LINC00632 was the most downregulated lncRNA. Second, LGG patients with higher AL355974.3 expression had worse overall survival according to Kaplan-Meier analysis of the TCGA database. Finally, bioinformatics analysis revealed that the target genes of these DElncRNAs were enriched in various biological processes and signaling pathways, such as cell metabolic and developmental processes.CONCLUSION:
Our findings provide evidence that AL355974.3 may be a new biomarker for glioma.Palabras clave
