“…A total of 12 lncRNAs (AC026368.1, CFAP61-AS1, AC090772.1, LINC00449, AC005165.1, LINC01614, AL356215.1, REPIN1-AS1, LASTR, LINC00460, AC015712.1 and PVT1) were included in the OS signature and 13 lncRNAs (AL163953.1, AL356417.2, POLH-AS1, LINC01094, AP002784.1, AL031985.3, LINC01977, LASTR, AC068790.3, AC023024.1, AC124067.4, ZBTB40-IT1 and LINC00092) in the PFS signature. LINC00449 ( 34 ), LINC01614 ( 35 – 39 ), LINC00460 ( 40 – 44 ), PVT1 ( 24 , 26 , 45 – 49 ), LINC01094 ( 50 – 55 ), LINC01977 ( 56 ), ZBTB40-IT1 ( 57 ) and LINC00092 ( 58 ) were previously reported to regulate the biological behavior or serve as prognostic tumor biomarkers in various cancer types. Except for these lncRNAs mentioned above, the other lncRNAs included in the signatures have remained largely unexplored, which will be the focus of future studies by our group.…”
