Development of m6A/m5C/m1A regulated lncRNA signature for prognostic prediction, personalized immune intervention and drug selection in LUAD

J Cell Mol Med. 2024 Apr;28(8):e18282. doi: 10.1111/jcmm.18282.ABSTRACTResearch indicates that there are links between m6A, m5C and m1A modifications and the development of different types of tumours. However, it is not yet clear if these modifications are involved in the prognosis of LUAD. The TCGA-LUAD dataset was used as for signature training, while the validation cohort was created by amalgamating publicly accessible GEO datasets including GSE29013, GSE30219, GSE31210, GSE37745 and GSE50081. The study focused on 33 genes that are regulated by m6A, m5C or m1A (mRG), which were used to form mRGs clusters and clusters of mRG differentially expressed genes clusters (mRG-DEG clusters). Our subsequent LASSO regression analysis trained the signature of m6A/m5C/m1A-related lncRNA (mRLncSig) using lncRNAs that exhibited differential expression among mRG-DEG clusters and had prognostic value. The model's accuracy underwent validation via Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox regression, ROC analysis, tAUC evaluation, PCA examination and nomogram predictor validation. In evaluating the immunotherapeutic potential of the signature, we employed multiple bioinformatics algorithms and concepts through various analyses. These included seven newly developed immunoinformatic algorithms, as well as evaluations of TMB, TIDE and immune checkpoints. Additionally, we identified and validated promising agents that target the high-risk mRLncSig in LUAD. To validate the real-world expression pattern of mRLn...
