摘要

AIM:To evaluate the role of long noncoding RNA(lncR NA)SNHG15 and its potential pathways in uveal melanoma(UM).METHODS:The SNHG15 mRNA expression level and corresponding clinicopathological characteristics of 80 patients with UM were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database and further analyzed.The SPSS 24.0 statistical software package was used for statistical analyses.To investigate the potential function of SNHG15 in UM,we conducted in-depth research on Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA).RESULTS:The univariate analysis revealed that the age,tumor diameter,pathological type,extrascleral extension,cancer status,and high expression of SNHG15 were statistical risk factors for death from all causes.The multivariate analysis suggested that the mR NA expression level of SNHG15 was an independent risk factor for death from all causes,as was age and pathological type.KaplanMeier survival analysis confirmed that UM patients with high SNHG15 expression might have a poor prognosis.In addition,SNHG15 was significantly differentially expressed in the different groups of tumor pathologic stage,metastasis and living status.Besides,the logistic regression analysis indicated that high SNHG15 expression group in UM was significantly associated with cancer status,pathologic stage,metastasis,and living status.Moreover,the GSEA indicated the potential pathways regulated by SNHG15 in UM.CONCLUSION:Our research suggests that SNHG15 may play a vital role as a potential marker in UM that predicts poor prognosis.Besides,GSEA indicates the underlying signaling pathways enriched differentially in SNHG15 high expression phenotype.
