Abstract

N7-Methylguanosine (m7G) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely reported to play an important role in cancer. However, there is little known about the relationship between m7G-related lncRNAs and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). To find new potential biomarkers and construct an m7G-related lncRNA prognostic signature for ccRCC, we retrieved transcriptome data and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and divided the entire set into train set and test set with the ratio of 1:1 randomly. The m7G-related lncRNAs were identified by Pearson correlation analysis (|coefficients| > 0.4, and p < 0.001). Then we performed the univariate Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis to construct a 12 m7G-related lncRNA prognostic signature. Next, principal component analysis (PCA), the Kaplan–Meier method, time-dependent receiver operating characteristics (ROC) were made to verify and evaluate the risk signature. A nomogram based on the risk signature and clinical parameters was developed and showed high accuracy and reliability for predicting the overall survival (OS). Functional enrichment analysis (GO, KEGG and GSEA) was used to investigate the potential biological pathways. We also performed the analysis of tumor mutation burden (TMB), immunological analysis including immune scores, immune cell infiltration (ICI), immune function, tumor immune escape (TIE) and immunotherapeutic drug in our study. In conclusion, using the 12 m7G-related lncRNA risk signature as a prognostic indicator may offer us insight into the oncogenesis and treatment response prediction of ccRCC.
