Comprehensive characterization of B7 family members in NSCLC and identification of its regulatory network.

ABSTRACT: B7 family members act as co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory molecules in the adaptive immune system. Thisstudy aimed to investigate the dysregulation, prognostic value and regulatory network of B7 family members in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Data for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients were extracted from public databases. Patient prognosis was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis. The downstream signaling pathways of B7 family were identified via GO and KEGG analysis. The key B7 related genes were selected by network, correlation and functional annotation analysis. Most B7 family members were dysregulated in LUAD and LUSC. The expression of B7-1/2/H3 and B7-H5 were significantly associated with overall survival in LUAD and LUSC, respectively. T
