Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to have a crucial impact on the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cuproptosis, a copper-triggered modality of mitochondrial cell death, might serve as a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment and clinical outcome prediction. Nevertheless, the role of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs in AML is not fully understood.
Methods: The RNA sequencing data and demographic characteristics of AML patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Pearson correlation analysis, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm, and univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were applied to identify the cuproptosis-related lncRNA signature and determine its feasibility for AML prognosis prediction. The performance of the proposed signature was evaluated via Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic curves, and principal component analysis. Functional analysis was implemented to uncover the potential prognostic mechanisms. Additionally, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to validate the expression of the prognostic lncRNAs in AML samples.
Results: A signature consisting of seven cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (namely NFE4, LINC00989, LINC02062, AC006460.2, AL353796.1, PSMB8-AS1, and AC000120.1) was proposed. Multivariable cox regression analysis revealed that the proposed signature was an independent prognostic factor for AML. Notably, the nomogram based on this signature showed excellent accuracy in predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival (area under curve = 0.846, 0.801, and 0.895, respectively). Functional analysis results suggested the existence of a significant association between the prognostic signature and immune-related pathways. The expression pattern of the lncRNAs was validated in AML samples.
Conclusion: Collectively, we constructed a prediction model based on seven cuproptosis-related lncRNAs for AML prognosis. The obtained risk score may reveal the immunotherapy response in patients with this disease.

Osteosarcoma is one of the most common malignant bone tumours in children. In this study, we aimed to construct a cuproptosis-related lncRNAs signature to predict the prognosis and immune landscape of osteosarcoma patients. Databases from TARGET were used to acquire osteosarcoma patient datasets, which included clinical information and RNA sequencing data.

Background/aim: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most common type of renal cancer. When resectable, nephrectomy is the only radical treatment for ccRCC, however metastasis is already present at 30% of the patient population. Although great progress has been made in the field of targeted therapy with the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) the cure of metastatic ccRCC (mccRCC) remains far from achieved.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) triggered by Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a significant clinical challenge, necessitating novel therapeutic interventions. Copper ionophores, recognized for introducing an innovative type of programmed cell death termed cuproptosis, present promising potentials for cancer therapy. Nevertheless, The role of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (CRLRs) in HBV-HCC has not been clearly elucidated.

Cuproptosis is a copper-induced mitochondrial cell death, and regulating cuproptosis is becoming a rising cancer treatment modality. Here, we attempted to establish a cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs (CRLs) signature (CRlncSig) to predict the survival, immune landscape, and treatment response in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. A series of statistical analyses were used to identify the key CRLs that are closely related to the prognosis, and a prognostic CRlncSig was constructed.
