High expression of IL4I1 is correlated with poor prognosis and immune infiltration in thyroid cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thyroid cancer-related deaths mostly result from metastasis. It was reported that the immunometabolism associated enzyme interleukin-4-induced-1 (IL4I1) was related to tumor metastasis. The present study was intended to investigate the effects of IL4I1 on thyroid cancer metastasis and its relationship with the prognosis.

Methods

Data from Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were analyzed to find out the different mRNA expressions of IL4I1 between thyroid cancer and normal tissues. And Human Protein Atlas (HPA) was used to assess IL4I1 protein expression. To further differentiate thyroid cancer from normal tissues and estimate the impact of IL4I1 on the prognosis, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and Kaplan-Meier (KM) metho
