| Popis: | Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common type of cancer worldwide. The incidence of PCa increases with age and it is the most common malignant tumor in men. Tissue biopsy and the serum prostate-specific antigen are still the standards for diagnosing suspected PCa. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) contributes to the progression of PCa by recruiting transcriptional regulators. We utilized high-throughput sequencing data and bioinformatics analysis to identify specifically expressed lncRNAs in PCa and filtered out three specific lncRNAs for further analysis: AC077690.1, AL049874.3 and AP001037.1. We constructed a lncRNA regulatory network and used differentially expressed mRNA interactions to predict the functions of the selected lncRNAs. Functional enrichment analysis and PCR verification of these three lncRNAs revealed that they were closely related to well-known PI3K-Akt-mTOR and the forkhead box protein (FOXO) signaling pathways involved in PCa. By understanding the related interactions between these molecules and signaling pathways, the lncRNAs could be potential candidates for therapeutic targets in PCa. |
