Abstract
Lysosomes are essential components for managing tumor microenvironment and regulating tumor growth. Moreover, recent studies have also demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs could be used as a clinical biomarker for diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the influence of lysosome-related lncRNA (LRLs) on the progression of colon cancer is still unclear. This study aimed to identify a prognostic LRL signature in colon cancer and elucidated potential biological function. Herein, 10 differential expressed lysosome-related genes were obtained by the TCGA database and ultimately 4 prognostic LRLs for conducting a risk model were identified by the co-expression, univariate cox, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analyses. Kaplan–Meier analysis, principal-component analysis, functional enrichment annotation, and nomogram were used to verify the risk model. Besides, the association between the prognostic model and immune infiltration, chemotherapeutic drugs sensitivity were also discussed in this study. This risk model based on the LRLs may be promising for potential clinical prognosis and immunotherapeutic responses related indicator in colon cancer patients.
