The area under ROC curves for predicting 1-, 3-, 5-year survival in the training set were 0.70, 0.68, and 0.64, respectively. Seven key m6A-related lncRNAs showed associations with immune checkpoint molecules, especially CTLA4 and PD-1. Finally, we found that knockdown of TUG1 repressed the expression of IGF2BP2.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our results suggest that the m6A-related lncRNA risk model has potential clinical utility in predicting prognosis and immunotherapeutic responses in patients with HNSCC. Identification of candidate compounds for immunotherapy further emphasises the model's relevance in guiding treatment decisions for HNSCC.</p>","PeriodicalId":6890,"journal":{"name":"Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143021658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
