Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were recently implicated in modifying pyroptosis. Nonetheless, pyroptosis-related lncRNAs and their possible clinical relevance persist largely uninvestigated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). A sum of 921 samples were collected from three independent data sets. We obtained pyroptosis-related genes from both the Molecular Signatures Database and relevant literature sources and used four machine learning techniques, comprising stepwise Cox, ridge regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and random forest. Multiple bioinformatics approaches were used to further investigate the underlying mechanisms. In total, 39 differentially expressed pyroptosis genes were identified by comparing normal and tumor samples. Correlation analysis revealed 933 pyroptosis-related lncRNAs. Furthermore, univariate Cox regression determined 11 lncRNAs that exhibited stable associations with prognosis in the three cohorts, which were used to construct the pyroptosis-derived lncRNA signature. After analyzing the optimal results from four machine learning algorithms, we ultimately selected random forest to develop the pyroptosis-derived lncRNA signature. This signature was proven to be an independent prognostic factor and exhibited robust performance in three cohorts. We provided novel insight and established a pyroptosis-derived lncRNA signature for patients with LUAD, exhibiting strong predictive capabilities in both the training and validation sets.
