Exploring the prognostic and therapeutic value of HIF1A in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains a challenge within the realm of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), demanding innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. In this study, we systematically detected the correlation between the expression of hypoxia-induced factor 1A (HIF1A) and the clinical characteristics of LUAD, alongside lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Our bioinformatic analysis reveals that HIF1A mRNA expression is significantly upregulated in both LUAD and LUSC samples compared to non-tumorous lung tissues. The overexpression is positively correlated with increased copy number variation and negatively associated with promoter methylation. However, meta-analysis and survival analyses revealed a pronounced association between elevated HIF1A expression and poor clinical outcom
