Comprehensive analysis of the prognosis for chromobox family in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chromobox (CBX) family proteins are a class of transcriptional repressors involved in epigenetic regulation and developmental processes of various tumors, including gastric cancer. However, the function and prognosis of different CBXs in gastric cancer remain unknown.

Methods

This study addresses this issue by synthesizing several mainstream databases (Oncomine, GEPIA2, cBioportal, and Kaplan-Meier plotter, among others) that currently contain many tumor samples and provide very reliable analysis results, investigating the role of CBXs in the prognosis of gastric cancer.

Results

The mRNA of CBX1/2/3/4/5/8 was highly expressed in gastric cancer, the mRNA of CBX7 was lowly expressed in gastric cancer, and the mRNA expression of CBX6 was not significantly diff
