Abstract

Lung cancer is primarily classified as NSCLC, which is distinguished by a wide range of genetic variations. This study focused on RNF144A-AS1, a relatively unexplored lncRNA, to explore the impact of its genetic polymorphisms on the susceptibility to NSCLC. We detected RNF144A-AS1 expression and its correlation with prognosis and clinical pathological features using bioinformatics analysis. The association between RNF144A-AS1 polymorphism and NSCLC susceptibility was evaluated using case-control methods. This investigation featured a cohort of 700 NSCLC individuals and 700 healthy controls. The genotype of genetic variation was detected by PCR-RFLP and iMLDR, followed by subsequent calculation of OR and 95 % CI. Our data show that RNF144A-AS1 exhibits high expression levels in LUAD tissues and its expression is closely linked to LUAD progression and prognosis. Carrier of RNF144A-AS1 rs3806609 TT genotype increased NSCLC susceptibility compared to carrier of rs3806609 CC genotype (OR=2.21, 95%CI=1.57-3.13). Our study identifies RNF144A-AS1 genetic variants as potential susceptibility markers in NSCLC. RNF144A-AS1 promotes cell proliferation and migration in LUAD through the IFN-γ/JAK2/STAT1 signalling pathway. Collectively, these findings pave the way for developing targeted therapies and diagnostic tools based on RNF144A-AS1 and its variants.
