BANF1 is a novel prognostic biomarker linked to immune infiltration in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BANF1) is an abundant and ubiquitously expressed postnatal mammalian protein that is overexpressed in numerous human cancers and can promote cancer cell proliferation. However, the role of BANF1 in prognosis remains unclear in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Methods

BANF1 expression data were obtained from the GEO and TCGA databases. We used Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier curves to assess the prognostic potential of BANF1. The role of BANF1-related genes was investigated using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses. In addition, we explored the link between BANF1, drug sensitivity, and the tumor immune microenvironment. Finally, functional in vitro and
