Comprehensive Pan-Cancer Analysis of the Prognostic Role of KLF Transcription Factor 2 (KLF2) in Human Tumors.
Background: KLF2 is a transcription factor expressed early in mammalian development that plays a role in many processes of development and disease. Recently, increasing studies revealed that KLF2 plays a key role in the occurrence and progression of cancer.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the role of KLF2 in various tumor types using the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset.
Methods: Here, we set out to explore the role of KLF2 in 33 tumor types using TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas), GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) dataset, Human Protein Atlas (HPA), UALCAN database, CancerSEA, GSCALite and several bioinformatic tools. Furthermore, we also performed immunohistochemistry and qPCR to further validate the role of KLF2 in multiple cancers and its correlation with prognosis.
Results: We found that KLF2 was underexpressed in most tumors and generally predicted poor OS in tumor patients. We found that amplification of KLF2 may be a risk factor for patients with OV (Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma). We also analyzed the abundance of checkpoints and markers of specific immune subsets including CD8+ T lymphocytes (T cells), CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells that significantly correlated with the expression level of KLF2 in pan-carcinoma tissues. In some cancers, KLF2 expression levels are positively correlated with gene promoter DNA methylation and drug sensitivity. In addition, we found that KLF2 is involved in single-cell level cell invasion in some cancers. In addition, KLF2 is co-expressed with several intracellular signal transduction genes involved in immune system processes. Immunohistochemistry and qPCR confirmed the low expression of KLF2 in STAD (stomach adenocarcinoma) and renal cancer.
Conclusion: Our pan-cancer analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the oncogenic roles of KLF2 in multiple human cancers and can be regarded as a potential prognostic marker and a novel target for cancer immunotherapy.
期刊介绍:
OncoTargets and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed journal focusing on molecular aspects of cancer research, that is, the molecular diagnosis of and targeted molecular or precision therapy for all types of cancer.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of high-quality original research, basic science, reviews and evaluations, expert opinion and commentary that shed novel insight on a cancer or cancer subtype.
Specific topics covered by the journal include:
-Novel therapeutic targets and innovative agents
-Novel therapeutic regimens for improved benefit and/or decreased side effects
-Early stage clinical trials
Further considerations when submitting to OncoTargets and Therapy:
-Studies containing in vivo animal model data will be considered favorably.
-Tissue microarray analyses will not be considered except in cases where they are supported by comprehensive biological studies involving multiple cell lines.
-Biomarker association studies will be considered only when validated by comprehensive in vitro data and analysis of human tissue samples.
-Studies utilizing publicly available data (e.g. GWAS/TCGA/GEO etc.) should add to the body of knowledge about a specific disease or relevant phenotype and must be validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up.
-Bioinformatics studies must be validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up.
-Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) studies will not be considered.
