TNFSF10, an autophagy related gene, was a prognostic and immune infiltration marker in skin cutaneous melanoma.

ABSTRACT: Autophagy exerts a pivotal effect on skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). This study was aimed to investigate the expression of autophagy related genes (ARGs) in SKCM as well as its clinical value. Differentially expressed (DE) ARGs were downloaded from the intersection of SKCM data in GEPIA2 database and ARGs in Human Autophagy Database (HADB) database, and were verified in SKCM datasets GSE46517 and GSE15605. DE ARGs were enriched by Metascape online tools. According to GEPIA2 database, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TNFSF10) was identified as a closely related factor and prognostic marker of SKCM. Then the correlation analysis of clinicopathological characteristics between TNFSF10 and SKCM was completed by several online tools such as TISCH, HPA, BEST and qRT-PCR. S
