Functional characterization and clinical significance of IGSF8 in pan-cancer: an integrated bioinformatic and experimental study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immunoglobulin superfamily member 8 (IGSF8) is a membrane protein implicated in crucial biological processes like cell interactions and immune responses. Emerging evidence suggests that IGSF8 plays a significant role in various cancers by influencing tumor progression through regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. Analyzing its expression, mutation status, and clinical correlations across different cancer types through pan-cancer bioinformatics could provide valuable insights into its potential as a biomarker and target for cancer therapies.

Methods

In this study, we utilized several public databases to investigate the biological role of IGSF8, focusing on its associations with prognosis, tumor heterogeneity, stemness, immune checkpoint genes,
