Biological function analysis of ARHGAP39 as an independent prognostic biomarker in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common subtype of liver cancer, with a high morbidity and low survival rate. Rho GTPase activating protein 39 (ARHGAP39) is a crucial activating protein of Rho GTPases, a novel target in cancer therapy, and it was identified as a hub gene for gastric cancer. However, the expression and role of ARHGAP39 in hepatocellular carcinoma remain unclear. Accordingly, the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) data were used to analyze the expression and clinical value of ARHGAP39 in hepatocellular carcinoma. Further, the LinkedOmics tool suggested functional enrichment pathways for ARHGAP39. To investigate in depth the possible role of ARHGAP39 on immune infiltration, we analyzed the relationship between ARHGAP39 and chemokines in HCCLM3 cells. Finally, the GSCA websi
