SPAG5 is a potential therapeutic target affecting proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of esophageal cancer cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sperm-associated antigen 5 (SPAG5) is a mitotic spindle protein crucial for coordinating the separation of sister chromatids into daughter cells. Increasing evidence suggests that SPAG5 is overexpressed in various malignancies, functioning as an oncogene. However, research specifically examining SPAG5 in esophageal cancer remains limited.

Methods

In this research, we leveraged bioinformatics techniques to evaluate the expression and prognostic significance of SPAG5 in a variety of cancer types. We conducted Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to elucidate the relationship between SPAG5 and cancer characteristics. Additionally, we investigated the correlation between SPAG5 expression and immune cell infiltration utilizing the TIMER2.0 platform. The TIDE platform wa
