Abstract
Background: Transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6), a key member of the TRPC family, is involved in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Although previous studies have implicated TRPC6 in the progression of stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), its precise functions and mechanisms remain unclear. Understanding TRPC6's role in STAD may provide insights into its prognostic and therapeutic potential.
Methods: Using transcriptional and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we assessed the expression and prognostic value of TRPC6 in STAD through Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and correlation studies. Immune-related parameters, including immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint gene expression, were also evaluated. Additionally, drug response analyses explored TRPC6's association with therapeutic agents. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate TRPC6's role in STAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, focusing on its regulation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.
Results: TRPC6 was significantly overexpressed in STAD tissues compared to normal tissues, with high TRPC6 expression associated with poor overall survival. TRPC6 expression correlated strongly with immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint genes, and sensitivity to therapies such as Lapatinib, anti-CTLA4, and anti-PD1 treatments. Functional assays confirmed that TRPC6 promotes STAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by activating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.
Conclusion: This study highlights the prognostic significance of TRPC6 in STAD and its potential as a therapeutic target. TRPC6's involvement in immune regulation and cancer cell progression underscores its dual role in STAD pathogenesis and treatment, offering new avenues for targeted therapy development.
期刊介绍：
Immuno Targets and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on the immunological basis of diseases, potential targets for immune based therapy and treatment protocols employed to improve patient management. Basic immunology and physiology of the immune system in health, and disease will be also covered.In addition, the journal will focus on the impact of management programs and new therapeutic agents and protocols on patient perspectives such as quality of life, adherence and satisfaction.
