Integrated Single-cell and Transcriptome Sequencing Analyses Identified PREX1 as an Immune-related Prognostic Biomarker for Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: PtdIns (3,4,5) P3-dependent Rac exchanger 1 (PREX1), also known as PREX1, a member of the Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factors (Rac-GEF) family. Studies have suggested that PREX1 plays a role in mediating oncogenic pathway activation and controlling various biological mechanisms in different types of cancer, including liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). However, the function of PREX1 in the pathogenesis of LIHC and its potential role on immunological regulation is not clearly elucidated. Methods: The expression level and the clinical role of PREX1 in LIHC was analyzed based on database from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), TNM plotter and University of Alabama Cancer Database (UALCAN). We investigated the relationship between PREX1 and immunity in LIHC by TIS
