The Guanine-nucleotide binding protein 2 (GNB2) encodes for β2 subunit (Gβ2) of the G-protein complex. Keeping in view the increased demand of reliable biomarkers in cancer, the current study was planned to extensively explored GNB2 expression variation and its roles in different cancers using online available databases and diverse methodology. In view of our results, the GNB2 was notably up-regulated relative to corresponding controls in twenty three cancer types. As well, the elevated expression of GNB2 was found to be associated with the reduced overall survival (OS) of the Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC) and Rectum Adenocarcinoma (READ) only out of all analyzed cancer types. This implies GNB2 plays vital role in the tumorigenesis of LIHC and READ. Several additional analysis also explored six critical pathways and few important correlations related to GNB2 expression and different other parameters such as promoter methylation, tumor purity, CD8+ T immune cells infiltration, and genetic alteration, and chemotherapeutic drugs. In conclusion, GNB2 gene has been identified in this study as a shared potential biomarker (diagnostic and prognostic) of LIHC and READ.
鸟嘌呤核苷酸结合蛋白 2(GNB2)编码 G 蛋白复合物的β2 亚基(Gβ2)。鉴于癌症中对可靠生物标志物的需求不断增加,本研究计划使用在线可用数据库和多种方法,广泛探索 GNB2 的表达变化及其在不同癌症中的作用。鉴于我们的结果,在 23 种癌症类型中,GNB2 的表达明显高于相应的对照。此外,在所有分析的癌症类型中,只有肝癌(LIHC)和直肠腺癌(READ)的 GNB2 高表达与整体生存(OS)降低相关。这意味着 GNB2 在 LIHC 和 READ 的肿瘤发生中起着至关重要的作用。几项额外的分析还探讨了与 GNB2 表达和其他几个参数(如启动子甲基化、肿瘤纯度、CD8+T 免疫细胞浸润和遗传改变以及化疗药物)相关的六个关键途径和一些重要相关性。总之,本研究将 GNB2 基因确定为 LIHC 和 READ 的潜在共同生物标志物(诊断和预后)。
