This study aimed to identify m6A-regulated lncRNAs in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients.Materials and MethodsRNA sequencing and the clinical data of LUSC patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The m6A-related lncRNAs were identified by using Pearson correlation assay. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to construct a risk model. The performance of the risk model was validated using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and receiver operating characteristics (ROC).

Differences in immune functions and expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors and m6A regulators between high-risk and low-risk groups were further explored.

The Kaplan–Meier analysis and area under the curve indicated that this risk model could be used to predict the prognosis of LUSC patients. The m6A-related lncRNAs were immune-associated. There were significant correlations between risk score and immune cell infiltration, immune functions, and expression of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Meanwhile, there were significant differences in the expression of m6A regulators between the high- and low-risk groups. Moreover, GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the upregulated expression of AL122125.1 was tumor-related.ConclusionIn this study, we constructed an m6A-related lncRNA risk model to predict the survival of LUSC patients.
