GMIP, a member of the RhoGAP family, plays a critical role in cytoskeletal remodelling, cell migration and immune modulation. Its aberrant expression in cancers suggests a pivotal role in tumour progression. GMIP expression was assessed using transcriptomic datasets from GDC and UCSC XENA, and protein distribution across tissues via HPA and GeneMANIA. The TISCH database identified primary GMIP-expressing cell types in the tumour microenvironment. Univariate Cox regression assessed GMIP's prognostic potential, while cBioPortal and GSCA explored genomic alterations. TIMER 2.0 was used to investigate immune cell infiltration and GMIP's role in immune regulation. GSEA and GSVA unveiled GMIP-related biological pathways, and molecular docking with CellMiner identified potential drug interactions. In vitro assays confirmed GMIP's functional relevance in breast cancer. GMIP exhibits differential expression across multiple cancer types, demonstrating significant prognostic implications. Its expression is inversely correlated with CNV and methylation in several cancers. GMIP is closely linked to immunotherapy biomarkers and immune suppression, influencing therapeutic responses. Functional studies suggest that GMIP inhibition reduces cancer cell proliferation and migration. GMIP is identified as a promising oncological biomarker, particularly in breast cancer, with potential therapeutic implications. GMIP's therapeutic potential is especially pronounced in BRCA-mutated tumours, underscoring its relevance for novel anticancer interventions.
GMIP是RhoGAP家族的一员,在细胞骨架重塑、细胞迁移和免疫调节中起关键作用。其在癌症中的异常表达表明它在肿瘤进展中起关键作用。使用来自GDC和UCSC XENA的转录组数据集评估GMIP的表达,并通过HPA和GeneMANIA评估其在各组织中的蛋白质分布。TISCH数据库确定了肿瘤微环境中主要表达GMIP的细胞类型。单变量Cox回归评估GMIP的预后潜力,而cBioPortal和GSCA探索基因组改变。使用TIMER 2.0研究免疫细胞浸润以及GMIP在免疫调节中的作用。GSEA和GSVA揭示了与GMIP相关的生物学途径,与CellMiner的分子对接确定了潜在的药物相互作用。体外实验证实了GMIP在乳腺癌中的功能相关性。GMIP在多种癌症类型中表现出差异表达,具有显著的预后意义。在几种癌症中,其表达与CNV和甲基化呈负相关。GMIP与免疫治疗生物标志物和免疫抑制密切相关,影响治疗反应。功能研究表明,抑制GMIP可降低癌细胞的增殖和迁移。GMIP被确定为一种有前景的肿瘤生物标志物,尤其是在乳腺癌中,具有潜在的治疗意义。GMIP的治疗潜力在BRCA突变肿瘤中尤为明显,突出了其在新型抗癌干预措施中的相关性。
