N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications play an essential role in tumorigenesis. These modifications modulate RNAs, including mRNAs and lncRNAs. However, the prognostic role of m6A-related lncRNAs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is poorly understood. Based on LASSO Cox regression, enrichment analysis, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, a prognostic risk model, and consensus clustering analysis, we analyzed 12 m6A-related lncRNAs in HNSCC sample data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We found 12 m6A-related lncRNAs in the training cohort and validated them in all cohorts by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses, revealing their independent prognostic value in HNSCC. Moreover, ROC analysis was conducted, confirming the strong predictive ability of this signature for HNSCC survival. GSEA and detailed immune infiltration analyses revealed specific pathways associated with m6A-related lncRNAs. In this study, a novel risk model including twelve genes (SAP30L-AS1, AC022098.1, LINC01475, AC090587.2, AC008115.3, AC015911.3, AL122035.2, AC010226.1, AL513190.1, ZNF32-AS1, AL035587.1 and AL031716.1) was built. It could accurately predict HNSCC outcomes and could provide new therapeutic targets for HNSCC patients.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of m6A-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the prognosis and tumour microenvironment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Methods: 497 samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas were analysed to identify m6A-related lncRNAs via correlation models. Tripartite regression models, Kaplan-Meier analysis and nomograms were then utilised to assess the prognostic significance of these lncRNAs.

Emerging evidence has shown that the N-methyladenosine (mA) modification of RNA plays key roles in tumorigenesis and the progression of various cancers. However, the potential roles of the mA modification of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in pancreatic cancer (PaCa) are still unknown. To analyze the prognostic value of mA-related lncRNAs in PaCa, an m6A-related lncRNA signature was constructed as a risk model via Pearson's correlation and univariate Cox regression analyses in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) stands as the predominant gynecological malignancy impacting the female reproductive system on a global scale. N6-methyladenosine, cuproptosis- and ferroptosis-related biomarker is beneficial to the prognostic of tumor patients. Nevertheless, the correlation between m6A-modified lncRNAs and ferroptosis, copper-induced apoptosis in the initiation and progression of EC remains unexplored in existing literature.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is among the most prevalent malignancies. Changes to N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common RNA modification, can affect how COAD develops. Furthermore, the involvement of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in COAD is significant, and it exhibits a close association with m6A modification.
