ABSTRACT
Ferroptosis and cuproptosis are recently discovered forms of cell death that have gained interest as potential cancer treatments, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) influence cancer cell activity by interacting with various nucleic acids and proteins. However, the role of ferroptosis and cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (FCRLs) in cancer remains underexplored. Ferroptosis and cuproptosis scores for each sample were assessed using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA). Weighted correlation network analysis identified the FCRLs most relevant to our study. A risk model based on FCRLs was developed to categorize patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. We then compared overall survival (OS), tumor immune microenvironment, and clinical characteristics between these groups. The IPS score and ImmuCellAI webpage were used to predict the association between FCRL-related signatures and immunotherapy response. Finally, we validated the accuracy of FCRLs in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines using induction agents (elesclomol and erastin). Patients in different risk subgroups showed significant differences in OS, immune cell infiltration, pathway activity, and clinical characteristics. Cellular assays revealed significant changes in the expression of AC019080.5, AC145207.5, MIR210HG, and LINC01063 in HCC cell lines following the addition of ferroptosis and cuproptosis inducers. We created a signature of four FCRLs that accurately predicted survival in HCC patients, laid the foundation for basic research related to ferroptosis and cuproptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma, and provided therapeutic recommendations for HCC patients.
