Pan-cancer analysis of the prognostic and immunological role of RPL4.

ABSTRACT: Ribosomal proteins (RPs) play an important role in the overall stability, function, and integrity of ribosomes. Ribosomal protein L4 (RPL4), which is encoded by RPL4, is assumed to play different roles in different cancers due to the strong correlation between them. However, research based on the underlying mechanisms of this correlations is limited. Therefore, this study investigated the biological role of RPL4 in various cancers. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases were used to compare the differential expression of RPL4 in tumor and normal tissues. The Sangerbox database and Kaplan-Meier method were employed to assess RPL4's impact on the prognosis of pan-cancer. Analyses using the cBioPortal tool, Shiny Methylation Analysis Resource Too
