Pan-cancer analysis of the prognostic and immunological roles of SHP-1/ptpn6.

ABSTRACT: SHP-1, a nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by ptpn6, has been regarded as a regulatory protein of hematopoietic cell biology for years. However, there is now increasing evidence to support its role in tumors. Thus, the role of ptpn6 for prognosis and immune regulation across 33 tumors was investigated, aiming to explore its functional heterogeneity and clinical significance in pan-cancer. Differential expression of ptpn6 was found between cancer and adjacent normal tissues, and its expression was significantly correlated with the prognosis of tumor patients. In most cancers, ptpn6 expression was significantly associated with immune infiltration. This was further confirmed by ptpn6-related genes/proteins enrichment analysis. Additionally, genetic alterations in ptpn6 was obse
