Abstract

Objective To construct prognostic model of disulfidptosis-related LncRNA (DRLncs) and explore the mechanism of LncRNA-small nucleolar RNA host genes(SNHG4) in promoting the progression of gastric cancer. Methods The multi-omics features of disulfidptosis genes in gastric cancer were first analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database. DRLncs were further screened, and disulfidptosis related gene recurrence score (DRG-RS) model was constructed to predict the overall survival(OS) and correlation with the clinical characteristics of gastric cancer patients. Differential gene analysis, functional enrichment and the correlation between chemotherapy efficacy in high- and low-risk groups were analyzed. Cell-counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and migration assay confirmed that LncRNA-SNHG4 promoted the malignant phenotype of gastric cancer cells. Western Blotting assay was used to detect the signaling pathway regulated by LncRNA-SNHG4. Results DRG-RS model including 8 DRLncs was successfully constructed, showing good performance in predicting OS of the patients with gastric cancer. DRG-RS model was significantly correlated with tumor-related signaling pathways, clinical characteristics and drug sensitivity of gastric cancer patients. LncRNA-SNHG4 expression was significantly increased in gastric cancer. LncRNA-SNHG4 promoted the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells. LncRNA-SNHG4 promoted the activation of Wnt signaling pathway in gastric cancer cells. Conclusions The DRG-RS model constructed in our study can stratify the prognosis of gastric cancer, and is closely related to malignant characteristics and chemotherapy efficacy of gastric cancer patients. The expression of LncRNA-SNHG4 significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues, and LncRNA-SNHG4 promoted the malignant phenotype of gastric cancer cells through the Wnt signaling pathway, suggesting that LncRNA-SNHG4 may play an important role in the progression of gastric cancer.
