Objective:
The aim of this study was to explore FOXM1-related LncRNA 1(FRLnc1) expression level in gastric cancer (GC) and demonstrate its association with the prognosis.
Patients And Methods:
A total of 173 GC patients from Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were enrolled in the study. GC tissue samples were quantified for FRLnc1 expression level using quantitative PCR (qPCR) method. The relevance between FRLnc1 expression and clinicopathological features was determined by x2-test. The association between FRLnc1 expression and overall survival was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate and univariate analysis were performed to explore whether FRLnc1 was an independent prognostic factor for GC patients.
Results:
We found that FRLnc1 expression was higher in GC tissues than corresponding adjacent tissues (p < 0.01). Increased FRLnc1 expression was associated with depth of tumor (p = 0.004), differentiation degree (p = 0.032), distant metastasis (p = 0.007), TNM stage (p = 0.006) and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.012). More importantly, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that overall patient survival for those with low FRLnc1 expression was significantly longer than those patients with high FRLnc1 expression (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis suggested that FRLnc1 expression was an independent prognostic marker for survival in patients with GC.
Conclusions:
The data presented in this work firstly suggested that FRLnc1 may be a prognostic predictor in GC.

Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
