Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) reportedly play critical roles in the pathogenesis of various cancers, including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the expression level, clinical significance, and potential function of lncRNA-AC092718.4 in LUAD remain unclear. In this study, we found that AC092718.4 was highly expressed in LUAD and high expression of AC092718.4 was correlated with poor overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) in LUAD. Cox regression analysis confirmed that AC092718.4 was an independent factor for LUAD prognosis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) results showed that AC092718.4 was involved in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Th17 cell differentiation, and cell apoptosis. AC092718.4 expression was correlated with immune cell infiltration. Finally, we found that the knockdown of AC092718.4 inhibited lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell growth and promote cell apoptosis. Our findings confirmed that AC092718.4 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in LUAD.
