Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently emerged as important biomarkers of cancer progression. Here, we proposed to develop a lncRNA-based signature with a prognostic value for colorectal cancer (CRC) overall survival (OS). Through mining microarray datasets, we analyzed the lncRNA expression profiles of 122 patients with CRC from Gene Expression Omnibus. Associations between lncRNA and CRC OS were firstly evaluated through univariate Cox regression analysis. A random survival forest method was applied for further screening of the lncRNA signature, which resulted in eight lncRNAs, including PEG3-AS1, LOC100505715, MINCR, DBH-AS1, LINC00664, FAM224A, LOC642852, and LINC00662. Combination of the eight lncRNAs weighted by their multivariate Cox regression coefficients formed a prognostic signature, through which, we could divide the 122 patients with CRC into two subgroups with significantly different OS. Good robustness of the lncRNA signature's prognostic value was verified through an independent data set consisting of 55 patients with CRC. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis indicated the potential association between high prognostic value and oxygen metabolism-related processes. This result should indicate that lncRNAs could be a useful signature for CRC prognosis.
