We investigated differential expressions of FAM3 mRNA and protein in THCA, then validated the findings for FAM3B by immunohistochemistry. We also investigated survival data with respect to FAM3 expression patterns in patients with THCA. FAM3s information regarding their relationships with clinical pathological parameters were obtained and FAM3 mutations were assessed.

To investigate potential correlations between FAM3s and immune cell infiltration, we investigated the roles of FAM3s in immune cells of patients with THCA. The mRNA expression of FAM3C were significantly elevated in THCA tissues; high expression levels of FAM3C protein were also observed in THCA tissues. A significant association between the pathological stage and the expression of FAM3C was found in patients with THCA. Patients with THCA who had high mRNA expression levels of FAM3C exhibited significantly more favorable prognosis, compared with patients who had low mRNA expression levels of FAM3C.

Objectives: The goal of this article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the LOX family's role in pan-cancer multiplexes. Material and methods: We utilized pan-cancer multi-omics sequencing data from TCGA to investigate the relationship between LOX family genes and tumors at four different levels: mutation, copy number variation, methylation, and gene expression. In addition, we also examined the relationship between LOX family genes and tumors at the cell line level using tumor cell line sequencing data from CCLE. Results: Our findings revealed that LOXL2 had the highest mutation frequency in tumors, while all four LOX family genes experienced some degree of copy number variation in diverse tumors. We observed that LOX, LOXL1-3 were predominantly highly expressed in tumors including LUAD. The expression trends of LOX and LOXL1-3 were consistent across tumor cell lines, but differed somewhat from LOXL4. Utilizing 25 LOX family-related genes, we constructed a LOX family prognostic model that performed well in predicting the prognosis of lung cancer.

Methods: We analyzed the mRNA expression of UTP23 in normal tissue and breast cancer using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the protein expression of UTP23 using The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. Next, we examined the relationship between UTP23 high expression and Overall Survival (OS) using Kaplan-Meier Plotters and enriched 980 differentially expressed genes in UTP23 high and low expression samples using GO/KEGG and GSEA to identify potential biological functions of UTP23 and signaling pathways that it might influence.
