Prognostic Value and Potential Mechanism of MTFR2 in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial fission regulator 2 (MTFR2) belongs to the MTFR1 family, which plays a crucial role in regulating oxidative phosphorylation. Recent studies indicate that it also participates in cancer carcinogenesis and development; however, the clinical significance of MTFR2 in lung adenocarcinoma has not been fully confirmed. Our current study investigated the relationships between clinical characteristics and MTFR2 expression based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE31210) dataset, and clinical histopathological sample cohort. In addition, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were additionally performed to evaluate the association between MTFR2 expression and patient survival. Gene set enrichment analysis (GESA) was conducted to spot possible pathways assoc
