Non-SMC condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) is a structural component of chromosomes during mitosis, which up-regulates in various cancers. However, the role of NCAPH in breast cancer still hasn't been clearly explored. Our aim is to confirm the value of NCAPH as a prognostic biomarker of breast cancer. We revealed the high expression of NCAPH in breast cancer by using Oncomine, Ualcan and GOBO analysis. Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was conducted to detect the mRNA expression of NCAPH in MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells, and thus higher mRNA level of NCAPH in MCF-7 cells was confirmed. STRING and gene enrich analysis were conducted to explore the interaction between NCAPH and other proteins, hence the functionality of NCAPH in mitosis is demonstrated. With Kaplan-Meier plotter we found that upregulation of NCAPH is indicative of a poor prognosis especially in hormone receptor positive breast cancer. We confirmed the potential competence of NCAPH as a promising biomarker in breast cancer prognosis.
非 SMC 凝聚素 I 复合物亚基 H(NCAPH)是有丝分裂过程中染色体的结构组成部分,在各种癌症中上调。然而,NCAPH 在乳腺癌中的作用仍未得到明确探索。我们的目的是确认 NCAPH 作为乳腺癌预后生物标志物的价值。我们使用 Oncomine、Ualcan 和 GOBO 分析揭示了 NCAPH 在乳腺癌中的高表达。通过定量实时 PCR(qRT-PCR)分析检测 MCF-7 和 MCF-10A 细胞中 NCAPH 的 mRNA 表达,证实 MCF-7 细胞中 NCAPH 的 mRNA 水平更高。通过 STRING 和基因富集分析探索 NCAPH 与其他蛋白质之间的相互作用,从而证明了 NCAPH 在有丝分裂中的功能。通过 Kaplan-Meier plotter 分析发现,NCAPH 的上调预示着预后不良,尤其是在激素受体阳性乳腺癌中。我们证实了 NCAPH 作为乳腺癌预后有前途的生物标志物的潜在能力。
