Pan‑cancer analyses reveal the regulation and clinical outcome association of PCLAF in human tumors.

ABSTRACT: Studies have shown that PCNA clamp associated factor (PCLAF) plays a paramount role in a variety of cancers; however, the expression profile and the specific molecular mechanism of PCLAF in cancer remains unclear, as is its value in the human pan‑cancer analysis. Based on the publicly available datasets of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), a comprehensive analysis of the probable carcinogenic effects of the PCLAF gene was performed in 33 human cancers. It was found that PCLAF is highly expressed in cancer tissues compared with normal tissues, and is significantly correlated with poor prognosis. We found that the eight tumors with significantly high PCLAF expression presented with decreased DNA methylation levels of PCLAF, including cholangiocar
