摘要
背景:胸腺上皮肿瘤(TETs)是最常见的纵隔恶性肿瘤,缺乏可靠的预后生物标志物。本研究旨在确定tet的潜在预后标志物。方法:对30例肿瘤及瘤周组织进行mRNA微阵列分析,鉴定差异表达基因(DEGs)。通过蛋白-蛋白相互作用(PPI)分析筛选枢纽基因,选择MCM2作为靶基因。进行生存和富集分析,验证队列评估MCM2与预后和临床病理特征的关系。结果:共鉴定出734例deg, MCM2与延长无进展生存期(PFS)显著相关(HR = 0.17; 95% CI: 0.05-0.54; p = 0.003),并被鉴定为PFS的独立危险因素(HR = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.08-0.91; p = 0.035)。从B1型胸腺瘤到B3型胸腺瘤MCM2表达降低。结论:MCM2是一个独立的TETs预后因子,其高表达与较好的PFS相关,而在b型胸腺瘤中表达降低,提示其作为一个有利的预后标志物。
Expression and prognostic value of MCM2 in type B thymomas.
Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are the most common mediastinal malignancies, lacking reliable prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to identify a potential prognostic marker for TETs.
Methods: mRNA microarray analysis of 30 tumor and peritumoral tissues identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Hub genes were selected via protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, with MCM2 chosen as the target gene. Survival and enrichment analyses were performed, and a validation cohort assessed MCM2's association with prognosis and clinicopathological features.
Results: Seven hundred thirty-four DEGs were identified, with MCM2 significantly associated with prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.17; 95% CI: 0.05-0.54; p = 0.003) and identified as an independent risk factor for PFS (HR = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.08-0.91; p = 0.035). MCM2 expression decreased from type B1 to B3 thymomas.
Conclusions: MCM2 is an independent prognostic factor for TETs, with higher expression linked to better PFS and decreasing expression across B-type thymomas, suggesting its role as a favorable prognostic marker.
