Prognostic Impact of MITD1 and Associates With Immune Infiltration in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.

Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is one of the most malignant diseases with poor survival rate over the world. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is highly related to the oncogenesis, development, and prognosis of KIRC. Thus, making the identification of KIRC biomarkers and immune infiltrates critically important. Microtubule Interacting and Trafficking Domain containing 1(MITD1) was reported to participate in cytokinesis of cell division. In the present study, multiple bioinformatics tools and databases were applied to investigate the expression level and clinical value of MITD1 in KIRC. We found that the expression of MITD1 was significantly increased in KIRC tissues. Further, the KIRC patients with high MITD1 levels showed a worse overall survival (OS) rate and disease free survival (DFS) rate. Otherwise, we found a significant correlation MITD1 expression and the abundance of CD8+ T cells. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that immune response and cytokine-cytokine receptor are very critical signaling pathways which associated with MITD1 in KIRC. In conclusion, our findings indicated that MITD1 may be a potential biomarker and associated with immune infiltration in KIRC.
