Risk coefficient model of necroptosis-related lncRNA in predicting the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma

Model algorithms were used in constructing the risk coefficient model of necroptosis-related long non-coding RNA in identifying novel potential biomarkers in the prediction of the sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents and prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Clinic and transcriptomic data of LUAD were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Differently expressed necroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs got identified by performing both the univariate and co-expression Cox regression analyses. Subsequently, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator technique was adopted in constructing the nrlncRNA model. We made a comparison of the areas under the curve, did the count of the values of Akaike information criterion of 1-year, 2-year, as well as 3-year receiver operating characteristic curves, after which the cut-off value was determined for the construction of an optimal model to be used in identifying high risk and low risk patients. Genes, tumor-infiltrating immune cells, clinical correlation analysis, and chemotherapeutic agents data of both the high-risk and low-risk subgroups were also performed. We identified 26 DEnrlncRNA pairs, which were involved in the Cox regression model constructed. The curve areas under survival periods of 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years of patients with LUAD were 0.834, 0.790, and 0.821, respectively. The cut-off value set was 2.031, which was used in the identification of either the high-risk or low-risk patients. Poor outcomes were observed in patients belonging to the high-risk group. The risk score was the independent predictor of the LUAD outcome (p
