The Clinical Significance and Immunization of MSMO1 in Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based on Bioinformatics Analysis.

The genetic markers for the detection or treatment of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) are not yet complete. This study aimed to identify the role of MSMO1 (Alternative name: SC4MOL) in the occurrence and development of CESC. We evaluated the significance of MSMO1 expression in CESC by using analysis of a public dataset from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Oncomine and GEPIA2 were used to validate MSMO1 as an independent prognostic factor in CESC. Multiple tools were used to analyze the factors and functions associated with MSMO1, such as methylation, miRNA, and co-expressed genes. Furthermore, TIMER and TISIDB were used to study the relationship between MSMO1 expression and immunization in CESC. MSMO1 was highly expressed in tumor specimens and could be used as an independent prognostic factor of CESC ( < 0.05). But Casiopeinas chemotherapeutics and p63 loss could reduce the expression of MSMO1. The level of methylation MSMO1 was significantly increased in tumor tissues but there was an insignificant effect on the prognosis. MSMO1 was also closely related to hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-130b-3p, and gene IDI1. Specifically, the expression level of MSMO1 had a significant negative correlation with the infiltration level of CD4T cells, Macrophages, Neutrophils, and DCs in CESC. In addition, GSEA identified differential enrichment in systemic lupus erythematosus, vascular smooth muscle contraction, cytokine receptor interaction, focal adhesion, chemokine signaling pathway, and Leishmania infection pathway in KEGG. Our findings provide evidence of the implications of MSMO1 in tumors, suggesting that MSMO1 is a promising prognostic biomarker in CESC.
