Abstract

Abstract : Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common kind of kidney cancer with poor prognosis. Necroptosis is a newly observed type of programmed cell death in recent years. However, the effects of necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs) on ccRCC have not been widely explored. The transcription profile and clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Necroptosis-related lncRNAs were identified by utilizing a co-expression network of necroptosis-related genes and lncRNAs. Univariate Cox regression, least absolute shrinkage, and selection operator regression and multivariate Cox regression were performed to screen out ideal prognostic necroptosis-related lncRNAss and develop a multi-lncRNA signature. Finally, 6 necroptosis-related lncRNA markers were established. Patients were separated into high- and low-risk groups based on the performance value of the median risk score. Kaplan–Meier analysis identified that high-risk patients had poorer prognosis than low-risk patients. Furthermore, the area under time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve reached 0.743 at 1 year, 0.719 at 3 years, and 0.742 at 5 years, which indicating that they can be used to predict ccRCC prognosis. In addition, the proposed signature was related to immunocyte infiltration. A nomogram model was also established to provide a more beneficial prognostic indicator for the clinic. Altogether, in the present study, the 6-lncRNA prognostic risk signature are trustworthy and effective indicators for predicting the prognosis of ccRCC.
