MDM4 was associated with poor prognosis and tumor-immune infiltration of cancers.

ABSTRACT: MDM4 is one of the MDM protein family and is generally recognized as the key negative regulator of p53. As a cancer-promoting factor, it plays a non-negligible role in tumorigenesis and development. In this article, we analyzed the expression levels of MDM4 in pan-cancer through multiple databases. We also investigated the correlations between MDM4 expression and prognostic value, immune features, genetic mutation, and tumor-related pathways. We found that MDM4 overexpression is often accompanied by adverse clinical features, poor prognosis, oncogenic mutations, tumor-immune infiltration and aberrant activation of oncogenic signaling pathways. We also conducted transcriptomic sequencing to investigate the effect of MDM4 on transcript levels in colon cancer and performed qPCR to verify this
