Background: The crucial roles played by lncRNA-AC068228.1 in primary malignant cancer remain poorly understood. This study aimed at examining the clinical significance and evaluating the biological function of AC068228.1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: We used data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to examine the expression of AC068228.1 in LUAD patients, and the prognostic and diagnostic value of those levels. Functional experiments were conducted to determine the function of AC068228.1 on LUAD cells. Signaling pathway enrichment analysis of AC068228.1 was conducted using the clusterProfiler and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) software. We analyzed the correlation between AC068228.1 expression and immune infiltration level in LUAD using the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) method by the R package GSVA.
Results: AC068228.1 expression was significantly elevated in LUAD tissues compared with normal tissues. Higher expression of AC068228.1 was strongly correlated with adverse clinical outcomes and was identified as an independent prognostic marker for LUAD patients. GSEA and infiltration analysis confirmed that AC068228.1 expression was significantly correlated with immune cells infiltrating in LUAD. Knockdown of AC068228.1 inhibited the cell proliferation and cell migration of LUAD.
Conclusions: AC068228.1 was upregulated in LUAD and was significantly correlated with adverse clinical outcomes. Meanwhile, it was associated with immune cell infiltration and could be used as a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for LUAD patients.

Background: Immunosenescence is the aging of the immune system, which is closely related to the development and prognosis of lung cancer. Targeting immunosenescence is considered a promising therapeutic approach.
Methods: We defined an immunosenescence gene set (ISGS) and examined it across 33 TCGA tumor types and 29 GTEx normal tissues.

Background: The role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in the development of various types of cancer has already been established. However, the exact biological function and significance of the elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids (ELOVLs) gene family, which can affect fatty acid metabolism, is still not well understood in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The aim of our study is to explore whether there are genes related to the pathogenesis of LUAD in the ELOVLs family, and even to guide clinical medication and potential prognostic indicators.

Non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a markedly heterogeneous disease, with its underlying molecular mechanisms and prognosis prediction presenting ongoing challenges. In this study, we integrated data from multiple public datasets, including TCGA, GSE31210, and GSE13213, encompassing a total of 867 tumor samples. By employing Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, machine learning techniques, and comprehensive bioinformatics approaches, we conducted an in-depth investigation into the molecular characteristics, prognostic markers, and potential therapeutic targets of LUAD.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), half of which are lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), is one of the most widely spread cancers in the world. Telomerase, which maintains telomere length and chromosomal integrity, enables cancer cells to avoid replicative senescence. When telomerase is inhibited, cancer cells' senescence began, preventing them from growing indefinitely.

Angiogenesis is a significant character of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and is an important reason leading to high mortality rates of LUAD patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs regulating the angiogenesis in LUAD have not been fully elucidated. Here we show lncRNA chromatin-associated RNA 10 (CAR10) was upregulated in the tumor tissue of patients with LUAD and enhanced tumor metastasis.
