Integrated analysis of the roles and prognostic value of RNA binding proteins in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the top cause of carcinoma-associated deaths worldwide. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) dysregulation has been reported in various malignant tumors, and that dysregulation is closely associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression. However, little is known about the roles of RBPs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In this study, we downloaded the RNA sequencing data of LUAD from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and determined the differently expressed RBPs between normal and cancer tissues. We then performed an integrative analysis to explore the expression and prognostic significance of these RBPs. A total of 164 differently expressed RBPs were identified, including 40 down-regulated and 124 up-regulated RBPs. Pathway and Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the di
