Abstract

Circulating long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a new class of cancer biomarkers. However, their significance in predicting outcomes in glioblastoma patients is unclear. We measured the levels of six known oncogenic lncRNAs-CRNDE, GAS5, H19, HOTAIR, MALAT1, and TUG1 in serum samples from 106 patients with primary glioblastoma and analyzed their association with outcomes. High levels of HOTAIR were associated with decreased probability of 2-year overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio HR = 2.04; 95% confidence interval CI = 1.08-9.76), and disease-free survival (adjusted HR = 1.82; 95% CI = 1.04-6.17). High levels of GAS5 were associated with increased probability of 2-year overall survival (adjusted HR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.18-0.99), and disease-free survival (adjusted HR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.16-0.98). HOTAIR and GAS5 levels could serve as reciprocal prognostic predictors of survival and disease progression in patients with glioblastoma.
