Identification of RNA-binding protein SNRPA1 for prognosis in prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in men. RNA-binding proteins play a critical role in human cancers; however, whether they have a significant effect on the prognosis of prostate cancer has yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of RNA sequencing and clinical data from the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset and obtained differentially expressed RNA-binding proteins between prostate cancer and benign tissues. We constructed a protein-protein interaction network and Cox regression analyses were conducted to identify prognostic hub RNA-binding proteins. SNRPA1 was associated with the highest risk of poor prognosis and was therefore selected for further analysis. SNRPA1 expression was positively correlated with Gleason score and pathological TN
