Objective. N7-methylguanosine modification-related lncRNAs (m7G-related lncRNAs) are involved in progression of many diseases. This study was aimed at revealing the risk correlation between N7-methylguanosine modification-related lncRNAs and survival prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods. In the present study, coexpression network analysis and univariate Cox analysis were used to obtained 31 m7G-related mRNAs and 399 m7G-related lncRNAs. And the prognostic risk score model of OSCC patients was evaluated and optimized through cross-validation. Results. Through the coexpression analysis and risk assessment analysis of m7G-related prognostic mRNAs and lncRNAs, it was found that six m7G-related prognostic lncRNAs (AC005332.6, AC010894.1, AC068831.5, AL035446.1, AL513550.1, and HHLA3) were high-risk lncRNAs. Three m7G-related prognostic lncRNAs (AC007114.1, HEIH, and LINC02541) were protective lncRNAs. Then, survival curves were drawn by comparing the survival differences between patients with high and low expression of each m7G-related prognostic lncRNA in the prognostic risk score model. Further, risk curves, scatter plots, and heat maps were drawn by comparing the survival differences between high-risk and low-risk OSCC patients in the prognostic model. Finally, forest maps and the ROC curve were generated to verify the predictive power of the prognostic risk score model. Our results will help to find early and accurate prognostic risk markers for OSCC, which could be used for early prediction and early clinical intervention of survival, prognosis, and disease risk of OSCC patients in the future.
