Pan-cancer and multi-omics analyses revealed the diagnostic and prognostic value of BAZ2A in liver cancer.

ABSTRACT: BAZ2A, an epigenetic regulatory factor that affects ribosomal RNA transcription, has been shown to be highly expressed in several cancers and promotes tumor cell migration. This study explored the expression and mechanism of BAZ2A in tumorigenesis at the pan-cancer level. The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus databases and TIMER2.0, cBioPortal and other tools were used to analyze the level of expression of BAZ2A in various tumor tissues and to examine the relationship between BAZ2A and survival, prognosis, mutation and immune invasion. In vitro experiments were performed to assess the function of BAZ2A in cancer cells. Using combined transcriptome and proteome analysis, we examined the possible mechanism of BAZ2A in tumors. BAZ2A exhibited high expression levels in multiple tumor tissues and displayed a significant association with cancer patient prognosis. The main type of BAZ2A genetic variation in cancer is gene mutation. Downregulation of BAZ2A inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoted apoptosis in LM6 liver cancer cell. The mechanism of BAZ2A in cancer development may involve lipid metabolism. These results help expand our understanding of BAZ2A in tumorigenesis and development and suggest BAZ2A may serve as a prognostic and diagnostic factor in several cancers.

Project description:BackgroundCD276 (also known as B7-H3) is one of the most important immune checkpoints of the CD28 and B7 superfamily, and its abnormal expression is closely associated with various types of cancer. It has been shown that CD276 is able to inhibit the function of T cells, and that this gene may potentially be a promising immunotherapy target for different types of cancer.MethodsSince few systematic studies have been published on the role of CD276 in cancer to date, the present study has employed single-cell sequencing and bioinformatics methods to analyze the expression patterns, clinical significance, prognostic value, epigenetic alterations, DNA methylation level, tumor immune cell infiltration and immune functions of CD276 in different types of cancer. In order to analyze the potential underlying mechanism of CD276 in glioblastoma (GBM) to assess its prognostic value, the LinkedOmics database was used to explore the biological function and co-expression pattern of CD276 in GBM, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed. In addition, a simple validation of the above analyses was performed using reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR assay.ResultsThe results revealed that CD276 was highly expressed, and was often associated with poorer survival and prognosis, in the majority of different types of cancer. In addition, CD276 expression was found to be closely associated with T cell infiltration, immune checkpoint genes and immunoregulatory interactions between lymphoid and a non-lymphoid cell. It was also shown that the CD276 expression network exerts a wide influence on the immune activation of GBM. The expression of CD276 was found to be positively correlated with neutrophil-mediated immunity, although it was negatively correlated with the level of neurotransmitters, neurotransmitter transport and the regulation of neuropeptide signaling pathways in GBM. It is noteworthy that CD276 expression was found to be significantly higher in GBM compared with normal controls according to the RT-qPCR analysis, and the co-expression network, biological function and chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity of CD276 in GBM were further explored. In conclusion, the findings of the present study have revealed that CD276 is strongly expressed and associated with poor prognosis in most types of cancer, including GBM, and its expression is strongly associated with T-cell infiltration, immune checkpoint genes, and immunomodulatory interactions between lymphocytes and non-lymphoid cells.ConclusionsTaken together, based on our systematic analysis, our findings have revealed important roles for CD276 in different types of cancers, especially GBM, and CD276 may potentially serve as a biomarker for cancer.
