Abstract
Aims: This study sets out to identify dysregulated plexins and investigate their roles in KIRC through an integrated bioinformatics approach. Methods: RNA-sequencing data and clinicopathological information of KIRC, extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, were used to perform comprehensive bioinformatics analysis. Results: Almost all plexin gene family members were dysregulated in KIRC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that PLXNA1/B3 were independent prognostic factors of overall survival in patients with KIRC. Mechanically, PLXNA1/B3 may promote ccRCC progression through several cancer-related signaling pathways, tumor immunity, and angiogenesis. Drug sensitivity analysis suggested that vemurafenib was the potential drug for PLXNA1/B3. Conclusion: Herein, we found that PLXNA1/B3 were independent prognostic factors, making them attractive new targets for KIRC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals is the established peer-reviewed journal, with over 25 years of cutting-edge content on innovative therapeutic investigations to ultimately improve cancer management. It is the only journal with the specific focus of cancer biotherapy and is inclusive of monoclonal antibodies, cytokine therapy, cancer gene therapy, cell-based therapies, and other forms of immunotherapies.
The Journal includes extensive reporting on advancements in radioimmunotherapy, and the use of radiopharmaceuticals and radiolabeled peptides for the development of new cancer treatments.
