Comprehensive Analysis and Experimental Validation of HEPACAM2 as a Potential Prognosis Biomarker and Immunotherapy Target in Colorectal Cancer.
Background: The role of HEPACAM family member 2 (HEPACAM2) is unclear in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Objective: The objective of this study was to perform an extensive examination of HEPACAM2 and validate it experimentally in CRC.
Methods: This study investigated the significance of HEPACAM2 in CRC and its potential diagnostic utility utilizing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Additionally, the study examined potential regulatory networks involving HEPACAM2, including its associations with immune infiltration, immune checkpoint genes, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), mRNA expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi), and drug sensitivity in CRC. The expression of HEPACAM2 was further validated using the GSE89076 dataset, and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to confirm HEPACAM2 expression levels in six pairs of CRC tissue samples.
Results: HEPACAM2 exhibited abnormal expression patterns in various types of cancer, including CRC. A decrease in HEPACAM2 expression levels in CRC was found to be significantly correlated with the T stage (p < 0.001). Reduced HEPACAM2 expression in CRC patients was also linked to poorer overall survival (OS) (p = 0.007). The expression levels of HEPACAM2 in CRC patients were identified as an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.016). Furthermore, HEPACAM2 was associated with TCF-dependent signaling in response to WNT, G2/M checkpoints, and other pathways. The expression of HEPACAM2 in CRC was found to be associated with immune infiltration, immune checkpoint genes, TMB / MSI, and mRNAsi. Additionally, the expression of HEPACAM2 in CRC was significantly and inversely correlated with the drug sensitivities to gw772405x and 6-phenyl-6h-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinoline-5,11-dione. qRT-PCR confirmed that the expression level of HEPACAM2 was found to be lowly expressed in CRC tissues.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that HEPACAM2 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and immunotherapeutic target for CRC patients.
期刊介绍：
Current Gene Therapy is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal aimed at academic and industrial scientists with an interest in major topics concerning basic research and clinical applications of gene and cell therapy of diseases. Cell therapy manuscripts can also include application in diseases when cells have been genetically modified. Current Gene Therapy publishes full-length/mini reviews and original research on the latest developments in gene transfer and gene expression analysis, vector development, cellular genetic engineering, animal models and human clinical applications of gene and cell therapy for the treatment of diseases.
Current Gene Therapy publishes reviews and original research containing experimental data on gene and cell therapy. The journal also includes manuscripts on technological advances, ethical and regulatory considerations of gene and cell therapy. Reviews should provide the reader with a comprehensive assessment of any area of experimental biology applied to molecular medicine that is not only of significance within a particular field of gene therapy and cell therapy but also of interest to investigators in other fields. Authors are encouraged to provide their own assessment and vision for future advances. Reviews are also welcome on late breaking discoveries on which substantial literature has not yet been amassed. Such reviews provide a forum for sharply focused topics of recent experimental investigations in gene therapy primarily to make these results accessible to both clinical and basic researchers. Manuscripts containing experimental data should be original data, not previously published.
