The Prognostic Value of PERK in Cancer and Its Relationship With Immune Cell Infiltration.

ABSTRACT: Background: Protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) is a type I transmembrane protein that functions as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress sensor to regulate global protein synthesis. Recent research studies suggest that PERK, as an important receptor protein of unfolded protein response, is involved in the pathogenesis of many cancers. This study aimed to investigate PERK expression and its relationship with prognosis in pan-cancer and attempted to explore the relevant mechanism of PERK involved in the regulation of cancer pathogenesis. Methods: The Oncomine and TIMER databases were used to analyze the expression of PERK between pan-cancer samples and normal samples. Survival analysis was performed using the PrognoScan, Kaplan-Meier (K-M) plotter, a
