High expression of TRMT112 is associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

TRMT112 is a member of the transfer RNA (tRNA) methyltransferase family, and its dysregulation in humans is involved in carcinogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and clinical significance of TRMT112 in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials and methods

Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blot were used to analyze TRMT112 expression in paired tumor and non-tumor tissues of OSCC. Furthermore, we analyzed TRMT112 expression for clinicopathological features, prognosis, immune infiltration, and immunotherapy response using the TCGA-HNSCC datasets, which primarily include OSCC data through UALCAN, Human Protein Atlas, Kaplan-Meier plots, and TIMER2.0. The oncogenic role and mechanism of TRMT112 were analyzed using a f
