Abstract

Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a highly malignant and aggressive cancer. Previous studies have shown that cellular senescence is a promising therapeutic strategy to limit melanoma cell progression. However, models to predict the prognosis of melanoma based on senescence-related lncRNAs and the efficacy of immune checkpoint therapy remain undefined. In this study, we developed a predictive signature consisting of four senescence-related lncRNAs (AC009495.2, U62317.1, AATBC, MIR205HG), and we then classified patients into high- and low-risk groups. GSEA (Gene set enrichment analysis) showed different activation of immune-related pathways in two groups. In addition, there were significant differences between the scores of tumor immune microenvironment, tumor burden mutation, immune checkpoint expression, and chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity between the two groups of patients. It provides new insights to guide more personalized treatment for patients with SKCM.
