BackgroundRecent studies have suggested that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play crucial role in low-grade glioma; however, the underlying mechanisms linking them to epigenetic methylation remain unclear.MethodsWe downloaded expression level data for regulators associated with N1 methyladenosine (m1A), 5-methyladenine (m5C), and N6 methyladenosine (m6A) (M1A/M5C/M6A) methylation from the Cancer Genome Atlas-low-grade glioma (TCGA-LGG) database. We identified the expression patterns of lncRNAs, and selected methylation-related lncRNAs using Pearson correlation coefficient>0.4. Non-negative matrix dimensionality reduction was then used to determine the expression patterns of the methylation-associated lncRNAs. We constructed a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) network to explore the co-expression networks between the two expression patterns. Functional enrichment of the co-expression network was performed to identify biological differences between the expression patterns of different lncRNAs. We also constructed prognostic networks based on the methylation presence in lncRNAs in low-grade gliomas.ResultsWe identified 44 regulators by literature review. Using a correlation coefficient greater than 0.4, we identified 2330 lncRNAs, among which 108 lncRNAs with independent prognostic values were further screened using univariate Cox regression at P< 0.05. Functional enrichment of the co-expression networks revealed that regulation of trans-synaptic signaling, modulation of chemical synaptic transmission, calmodulin binding, and SNARE binding were mostly enriched in the blue module. The calcium and CA2 signaling pathways were associated with different methylation-related long non-coding chains. Using the Least Absolute Shrinkage Selector Operator (LASSO) regression analysis, we analyzed a prognostic model containing four lncRNAs. The model’s risk score was 1.12 *AC012063 + 0.74 * AC022382 + 0.32 * AL049712 + 0.16 * GSEC. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) revealed significant differences in mismatch repair, cell cycle, WNT signaling pathway, NOTCH signaling pathway, Complement and Cascades, and cancer pathways at different GSEC expression levels. Thus, these results suggest that GSEC may be involved in the proliferation and invasion of low-grade glioma, making it a prognostic risk factor for low-grade glioma.ConclusionOur analysis identified methylation-related lncRNAs in low-grade gliomas, providing a foundation for further research on lncRNA methylation. We found that GSEC could serve as a candidate methylation marker and a prognostic risk factor for overall survival in low-grade glioma patients. These findings shed light on the underlying mechanisms of low-grade glioma development and may facilitate the development of new treatment strategies.
