RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Glioma is the most common central nervous system tumor with a poor survival rate and prognosis. Previous studies have found that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) play important roles in regulating various tumor mechanisms. We obtained RNA-Seq data of glioma and normal brain tissue samples from TCGA and GTEx databases and extracted the lncRNA and mRNA expression data. Further, we analyzed these data using weighted gene co-expression network analysis and differential expression analysis, respectively. Differential expression analysis was also carried out on the mRNA data from the GEO database. Further, we predicted the interactions between lncRNA, miRNA, and targeted mRNA. Using the CGGA data to perform univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis on mRNA. RESULTS: We constructed a Cox proportional hazard regression model containing four mRNAs and performed immune infiltration analysis. Moreover, we also constructed a ceRNA network including 21 lncRNAs, two miRNAs, and four mRNAs, and identified seven lncRNAs related to survival that have not been previously studied in gliomas. Through the gene set enrichment analysis, we found four lncRNAs that may have a significant role in tumors and should be explored further in the context of gliomas. CONCLUSIONS: In short, we identified four lncRNAs with research value for gliomas, constructed a ceRNA network in gliomas, and developed a prognostic prediction model. Our research enhances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying gliomas, providing new insights for developing targeted therapies and efficiently evaluating the prognosis of gliomas.
