Expression Profile and Prognostic Values of CDH Family Members in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have confirmed that the classical cadherin (CDH) gene family may be involved in the development and progression of various tumors. However, the comprehensive assays of CDH family members in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) were rarely reported. In this study, our group analyzed TCGA datasets and identified 18 dysregulated CDH members in LUAD specimens. Several CDH members exhibited an increased level in LUAD specimens, such as CDH1, CDH2, CDH3, CDH4, CDH5, CDH15, CDH16, CDH17, CDH18, CDH24, and CDH26. However, some others exhibited decreased levels in LUAD specimens. Correlation analysis revealed that most CDH members were negatively regulated by the methylation of CDH genes, leading to their low expression in LUAD tissues. Survival assays identified 16 survival-related CDH members
