Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in osteosarcoma development, but their role in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is not fully understood. This study associated lncRNAs with immune-related genes and explored the mechanism of lncRNAs in osteosarcoma progression.
Methods: Unsupervised consensus clustering was applied to construct immune subtypes based on immune-related lncRNAs identified by Pearson's correlation analysis. A series of functional analysis was performed to reveal the links among lncRNAs, immune subtypes, TME, and osteosarcoma prognosis.
Results: We identified two immune subtypes C1 and C2 showing distinct overall survival. ECM-receptor interaction pathway was more activated in C2 subtype, while immune response pathways were more enriched in C2 subtype. Differential TME and response to chemotherapeutic drugs were observed between the two subtypes. Four metagenes of costimulation, cytolytic activity (CYT), immune score, and STAT1 were differentially enriched in the two subtypes. Based on 26-paired lncRNAs, we constructed a 4-paired lncRNA prognostic signature for predicting prognosis of osteosarcoma prognosis.
Conclusions: This study focused on immune-related lncRNAs and TME, showing the possible role and mechanisms of lncRNAs in tumor growth and metastasis. ECM may be the new therapeutic target for treating osteosarcoma, and 26-paired lncRNAs could serve as a basis for further studying the mechanisms of CYT and STAT1 in immune response, cancer cell proliferation, and migration. The two subtypes and prognostic signature could promote the design of personalized osteosarcoma treatment.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal regulators of cellular processes. Here we reveal an interaction between the lncRNA NORAD, noted for its role in DNA stability, and the immune related transcription factor STAT3 in embryonic and differentiated human cells. Results from NORAD knockdown experiments implicate NORAD in facilitating STAT3 nuclear localization and suppressing antiviral gene activation.

Introduction: The development and progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is more relevant to immune regulation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find immune-related molecular markers that can predict the prognosis and immune status of HCC.
Methods: RNA-seq and clinical HCC data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed for differential expression of microRNA (miRNAs), mRNAs, and lncRNAs.

Objective: The poultry industry is significantly impacted by viral infections, particularly Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), which leads to substantial economic losses. It is essential to comprehend how the sequence of development affects biological pathways and how early exposure to infections might affect immune responses.
Methods: This study employed transcriptome analysis to investigate host-pathogen interactions by analyzing gene expression changes in NDV-infected chicken embryos' lungs.

Disulfidptosis, a recently identified pathway of cellular demise, served as the focal point of this research, aiming to pinpoint relevant lncRNAs that differentiate between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with and without vascular invasion while also forecasting survival rates and responses to immunotherapy in patients with vascular invasion (VI+). First, we identified 300 DRLRs in the TCGA database. Subsequently, utilizing univariate analysis, LASSO-Cox proportional hazards modeling, and multivariate analytical approaches, we selected three DRLRs (AC009779.

Molecules in immune cells plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of this study is to profile the landscape of molecules on the basis of immune cells in IS peripheral blood and construct an immunoregulatory competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. We collected and combined multiple public transcriptome datasets from the peripheral blood of IS patients and healthy controls.
