Down-Regulated CLDN10 Predicts Favorable Prognosis and Correlates With Immune Infiltration in Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: CLDN10, an important component of the tight junctions of epithelial cells, plays a crucial role in a variety of tumors. The effect of CLDN10 expression in gastric cancer, however, has yet to be elucidated. Methods: Differential expression of CLDN10 at the mRNA and protein levels was evaluated using Oncomine, ULCAN, HPA and TIMER2.0 databases. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was utilized to further verify the expression of CLDN10 in vitro. Correlations between CLDN10 expression and clinical outcomes of gastric cancer were explored by Kaplan-Meier Plotter. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) were performed via LinkedOmics and GeneMANIA. The correlations between CLDN10 expression and immune cell infiltr
