CEBPB as a prognostic biomarker and its association with immune cells in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. This study examines the expression, prognostic significance, and immune association of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB) in ccRCC. RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project were analyzed using the STAR workflow and R software. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) validated CEBPB expression in ccRCC tissues. Functional enrichment analyses (Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network (STRING and Cytoscape) were used to explore CEBPB-related pathways. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) revealed significant correlations between CEBPB expression and the infiltration of 24 immune cell types. CEBPB was linked to immune-related pathways, including humoral immune response, leukocyte migration, and cytokine signaling. PPI analysis identified strong interactions with STAT3/EP300, highlighting its role in immune regulation. Cox regression analysis showed that high CEBPB expression is associated with poorer overall survival, supporting its potential as a prognostic biomarker. In conclusion, CEBPB plays a key role in shaping the immune microenvironment of ccRCC and may serve as a novel prognostic marker and therapeutic target.
期刊介绍:
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
