Abstract

Clusterin () is a chaperone-like protein that has been demonstrated to have a direct relationship with cancer occurrence, progression, or metastasis. Clusterin was downregulated in tumor tissues using three datasets of tongue squamous carcinoma from the Gene Expression Omnibus. We further retrieved datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus to thoroughly investigate the carcinogenic consequences of Clusterin. Our findings revealed that decreased Clusterin expression in malignancies was associated with a worse overall survival prognosis in individuals with multiple tumors; Clusterin gene deep deletions were found in almost all malignancies and were connected to most cancer patient's prognosis, Clusterin DNA methylation level was dependent on tumor type, Clusterin expression was also linked to the invasion of cancer-associated CD8+ T-cells and fibroblasts in numerous cancer forms. Moreover, pathway enrichment analysis revealed that Clusterin primarily regulates biological processes such as cholesterol metabolism, phospholipid binding, and protein-lipid complex formation. Overall, our pan-cancer research suggests that Clusterin expression levels are linked to tumor carcinogenesis and prognosis, which contributes to understanding the probable mechanism of Clusterin in tumorigenesis as well as its clinical prognostic significance.

摘要

聚集素()是一种伴侣样蛋白,已被证明与癌症的发生、发展或转移有直接关系。使用来自基因表达综合数据库的三个舌鳞状细胞癌数据集,发现肿瘤组织中聚集素表达下调。我们进一步从癌症基因组图谱和基因表达综合数据库中检索数据集,以全面研究聚集素的致癌后果。我们的研究结果表明,恶性肿瘤中聚集素表达降低与患有多种肿瘤的个体总体生存预后较差有关;几乎在所有恶性肿瘤中都发现了聚集素基因深度缺失,且与大多数癌症患者的预后相关,聚集素DNA甲基化水平取决于肿瘤类型,聚集素表达还与多种癌症类型中癌症相关CD8 + T细胞和成纤维细胞的浸润有关。此外,通路富集分析表明,聚集素主要调节胆固醇代谢、磷脂结合和蛋白质 - 脂质复合物形成等生物学过程。总体而言,我们的泛癌研究表明,聚集素表达水平与肿瘤发生和预后相关,这有助于理解聚集素在肿瘤发生中的可能机制及其临床预后意义。
