Abstract (original English)

Background: Cellular senescence plays a complicated and vital role in cancer development because of its divergent effects on tumorigenicity. However, the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with tumor senescence and their prognostic value in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unexplored. Methods: The trans-cancer oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) signature was determined by gene set variation analysis (GSVA) in the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) dataset. The OIS-related lncRNAs were identified by correlation analyses. Cox regression analyses were used to screen lncRNAs associated with prognosis, and an optimal predictive model was created by regression analysis of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). The performance of the model was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, nomograms, stratified survival analyses, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts (CIBERSORT) were carried out to explore the functional relevance and immune cell infiltration, respectively. Results: Firstly, we examined the pan-cancer OIS signature, and found several types of cancer with OIS strongly associated with the survival of patients, including HCC. Subsequently, based on the OIS signature, we identified 76 OIS-related lncRNAs with progn
