Popis: Abstract Limited treatment options and poor prognosis present significant challenges in the treatment of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Disulfidptosis impacts cancer progression and prognosis. We developed a prognostic signature using disulfidptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to predict the prognosis of LUSC patients. Gene expression matrices and clinical information for LUSC were downloaded from the TCGA database. Co-expression analysis identified 209 disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs. LASSO-Cox regression analysis identified nine key lncRNAs, forming the basis for establishing a prognostic model. The model’s validity was confirmed by Kaplan–Meier and ROC curves. Cox regression analysis identified the risk score (RS) as an independent prognostic factor inversely correlated with overall survival. A nomogram based on the RS demonstrated good predictive performance for LUSC patient prognosis. The relationship between RS and immune function was explored using ESTIMATE, CIBERSORT, and ssGSEA algorithms. According to the TIDE database, a negative correlation was found between RS and immune therapy responsiveness. The GDSC database revealed that 49 drugs were beneficial for the low-risk group and 25 drugs for the high-risk group. Silencing C10orf55 expression in SW900 cells reduced invasiveness and migration potential. In summary, this lncRNA model based on TCGA-LUSC data effectively predicts prognosis and assists clinical decision-making.
