This study aimed to screen and determine the value of AP004608.1 expression as a biomarker for Prostate cancer (PCa) survival. We investigated the expression and prognosis of AP004608.1 through bioinformatics analysis. Low AP004608.1 expression predicted favorable Overall survival (OS) and Progression-free survival (PFS) in PCa patients, according to the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Cox regression demonstrated that low AP004608.1 expression were in-dependent biomarkers for OS. Moreover, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was utilized to verify the prognostic role of AP004608.1 in PCa, and the similar results were reached. A meta-analysis revealed that low AP004608.1 expression was closely relevant to better OS. AP004608.1 could constitute a promising prognostic biomarker, and probably plays an important role in PCa.
本研究旨在筛选并确定AP004608.1表达作为前列腺癌(PCa)生存生物标志物的价值。我们通过生物信息学分析研究了AP004608.1的表达及预后情况。根据癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库,AP004608.1低表达预示着PCa患者有较好的总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)。Cox回归分析表明,AP004608.1低表达是OS的独立生物标志物。此外,利用基因表达综合数据库(GEO)验证AP004608.1在PCa中的预后作用,得出了相似的结果。一项荟萃分析显示,AP004608.1低表达与较好的OS密切相关。AP004608.1可能是一种有前景的预后生物标志物,并且可能在PCa中发挥重要作用。
