Comprehensive analysis of the prognostic and immunological role of cavins in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Caveolae, specialized and dynamic subdomains of the plasma membrane, have a crucial role in diverse cellular functions encompassing endocytosis, signal transduction, mechanosensation, lipid storage, and metabolism. Cavin family proteins are indispensable for caveolar formation and function. An increasing number of studies have found that cavins are involved in tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis and may have dual roles in the regulation of cancer. However, the expression and prognostic value of cavins in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unexplored. In this study, the expression, survival data, immune infiltration, and functional enrichment of cavins in patients with NSCLC were investigated using multiple databases. Furthermore, different subtypes of cavin-binding
