In lung cancer, deregulation of imprinting at DLK1 - DIO3 was recently described in smokers. Deregulated expression of a microRNA (miRNA) cluster mapping to this locus was also associated with patient outcome, suggesting the importance of this locus to lung cancer disease phenotypes. The DLK1 - DIO3 locus is complex, and encodes several protein-coding genes, in addition to long and short non-coding RNAs. While the role of miRNAs is established, the biological importance of another relevant class of small RNAs, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), has not been investigated. When somatically expressed, piRNAs regulate gene transcription through DNA methylation. Interestingly, their expression patterns have been observed to be altered in cancer and correlated with patient outcome. Here, we characterize the somatic expression of piRNAs encoded at DLK1 - DIO3 in two independent cohorts of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma and investigate their associations with patient outcome. We find that the expression of piRNAs encoded at DLK1-DIO3 enhances the prognostic potential of small non-coding RNAs specific to this locus in predicting patient outcome, further emphasizing the importance of regulation at this locus in lung cancer.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
