Identification and validation of oxeiptosis-associated lncRNAs and prognosis-related signature genes to predict the immune status in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma
As a novel cell death modality, oxeiptosis is mainly caused by oxidative stress. However, the associations of uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) with oxeiptosis-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are unknown. Here, to identify hub oxeiptosis-associated lncRNAs in UCEC, we collected the data for lncRNAs and gene expression in UCEC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Then, a lncRNA risk signature was constructed, and its prognostic value was further evaluated. Finally, the expression levels of hub lncRNA
