Abstract
Objective: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is aberrantly expressed in a variety of tumor diseases. To date, its specific role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to evaluate the association between aberrant lncRNA expression and poor prognosis in AML patients, and to systematically assess the relationship between aberrant lncRNA expression and AML prognosis.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), WanFang (China Wanfang Database), VIP (China VIP Database), and Sinomed (China Biomedical Literature Database) to identify relevant Chinese and English articles. The search period covered from the inception of these databases to 4 August 2024. Articles were screened according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and meta-analysis was performed using Stata.
Results: A total of 25 articles were included in the analysis. Aberrant lncRNA expression was significantly associated with reduced overall survival (univariate HR = 2.46, 95%CI 2.11-2.88, P < 0.001; multivariate HR = 2.46, 95%CI 2.11-2.88, P < 0.001), event-free survival (HR = 1.51, 95%CI 1.19-1.90, P = 0.001), recurrence-free survival (HR = 2.82, 95%CI 2.03-3.91, P < 0.001), and disease-free survival (HR = 2.390, 95%CI 1.037-5.507, P = 0.041). These findings were statistically significant. The 25 articles collectively identified 22 lncRNAs whose aberrant expression was associated with AML prognosis. Notably, multiple studies highlighted the aberrant expression of lncRNA CRNDE, ZEB2-AS1, and TUG1 as being particularly relevant to AML prognosis. Our meta-analysis revealed that high expression of lncRNA CRNDE and TUG1 was associated with reduced overall survival, while high expression of lncRNA ZEB2-AS1 was linked to decreased disease-free survival, both with statistically significant differences.
Conclusion: The expression levels of lncRNAs are closely associated with the prognosis of AML patients and may serve as important indicators for monitoring prognosis in the future. However, further high-quality studies are needed to validate these findings.

期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Genetics publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on genes and genomes relating to all the domains of life, from humans to plants to livestock and other model organisms. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of the world’s leading experts, this multidisciplinary, open-access journal is at the forefront of communicating cutting-edge research to researchers, academics, clinicians, policy makers and the public.
The study of inheritance and the impact of the genome on various biological processes is well documented. However, the majority of discoveries are still to come. A new era is seeing major developments in the function and variability of the genome, the use of genetic and genomic tools and the analysis of the genetic basis of various biological phenomena.
