Effect of MAP3K8 on Prognosis and Tumor-Related Inflammation in Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: MAPK kinase kinase 8 (MAP3K8) is involved in the regulation of MAPK cascades and immune responses. Differential expression of MAP3K8 is closely correlated with tumorigenesis. In this study, we used bioinformatics tools to explore expression level, prognostic values, and interactive networks of MAP3K8 in renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: Differential expression of MAP3K8 was determined by TIMER2.0, UALCAN, and Oncomine Platform. For exploration of MAP3K8 mutation profile, TIMER2.0, DriverDBv3, and cBioPortal were used. The survival module of GEPIA, UALCAN, and DriverDBv3 was used to examine the prognostic value of MAP3K8. Immune infiltration was estimated by TIMER, TIDE, CIBERSORT, CIBERSORT-ABS, QUANTISEQ, XCELL, MCPCOUNTER, and EPIC algorithms. PPI net
