Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the role of integrin alpha V (ITGAV) and the related long noncoding RNA-microRNA-messenger RNA competing endogenous RNA (lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA) network in the development and prognosis of cancers, especially gastric cancer (GC), through bioinformatic analysis.
Methods: Pan-cancer and GC data were collected from the UCSC Xena website, and validation datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). R (version 3.6.3), GraphPad Prism 8, and SPSS 23.0 software were used to analyze data and prepare figures.
Results: The expression of ITGAV in tumor tissues was higher than that of normal tissues in ten cancer types. A lower expression of ITGAV in five tumors (CESC, LGG, LIHC, MESO, and STAD) predicted better patient prognosis. In GC, the mRNA and protein expression of ITGAV in tumor tissues was higher than that of normal tissues. Patients with high ITGAV expression had poor prognosis and clinical characteristics, including worse grades and more advanced stages. Patients with higher ITGAV expression had higher immune and stromal scores and lower purity (P<0.05). In addition, seven miRNAs were found that were negatively correlated with ITGAV expression through the website; high expression of these miRNAs indicated a better prognosis. Using this correlation, the authors built the lncRNA-miRNA-ITGAV ceRNA network, to predict the prognosis of GC.
Conclusions: This study showed that ITGAV could be considered a prognostic factor for GC, and an lncRNA-miRNA-ITGAV ceRNA network was built to promote the exploration of the mechanism and prognosis of GC.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology (IJCEP, ISSN 1936-2625) is a peer reviewed, open access online journal. It was founded in 2008 by an international group of academic pathologists and scientists who are devoted to the scientific exploration of human disease and the rapid dissemination of original data. Unlike most other open access online journals, IJCEP will keep all the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume and issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to keep our warm feelings towards an academic journal.
