Abstract

Objective: Transmembrane protein 71 (TMEM71) is implicated in multiple cellular physiological functions and has been demonstrated to be crucial in the advancement of different cancerous growths. However, its specific function in low-grade glioma (LGG) remains unclear.

Methods: We examined the expression patterns and prognostic importance of TMEM71 in various types of cancer by using pan-cancer analysis. The analyses of the correlations between TMEM71 expression and clinicopathological characteristics, prognosis, biological functions, immune characteristics, and genomic variations in LGG were conducted based on its expression patterns. Finally, the expression level and biological function of TMEM71 in LGG were verified by executing in vitro studies.

Results: Abnormal elevation of TMEM71 expression level was associated with poor prognosis of many tumors including LGG. Both multivariate and univariate Cox regression analyses indicated that the expression of TMEM71 served as a standalone prognostic biomarker for LGG. The levels of TMEM71 expression were associated with immune-related characteristics, infiltration of immune cells, immune checkpoint genes (ICPGs) expression, and tumor mutation burden (TMB) in patients with LGG. In laboratory studies, elevated levels of TMEM71 were found to be involved in activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, promoting CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein D (CEBPD) expression, and ultimately affecting the growth and motility of LGG cells.

Conclusion: TMEM71 is an independent prognostic indicator for LGG and is strongly associated with the growth of LGG cells, positioning it as a potential novel target for treatment.

期刊介绍: Cancer Cell International publishes articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from, but not limited to, work using cell culture techniques. The journal focuses on novel cancer studies reporting data from biological experiments performed on cells grown in vitro, in two- or three-dimensional systems, and/or in vivo (animal experiments). These types of experiments have provided crucial data in many fields, from cell proliferation and transformation, to epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, to apoptosis, and host immune response to tumors. Cancer Cell International also considers articles that focus on novel technologies or novel pathways in molecular analysis and on epidemiological studies that may affect patient care, as well as articles reporting translational cancer research studies where in vitro discoveries are bridged to the clinic. As such, the journal is interested in laboratory and animal studies reporting on novel biomarkers of tumor progression and response to therapy and on their applicability to human cancers.
