Pan-Cancer Analysis of the Immunological Role of PDIA5: A Potential Target for Immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT: The aberrant protein disulfide isomerase A5 (PDIA5) expression was relevant to the poor prognosis of patients with human cancers. However, its relationship with the epigenetic and genetic alterations and its effect on tumor immunity is still lacking. In the present study, we comprehensively analyzed the immune infiltration role of PDIA5 in human cancers based on large-scale bioinformatics analyses and in vitro experiments. Obvious DNA methylation and moderate alteration frequency of PDIA5 were observed in human cancers. The expression level of PDIA5 was significantly correlated with infiltrated immune cells, immune pathways, and other immune signatures. We found that cancer cells and macrophages exhibited high PDIA5 expression in human cancers using the single-cell RNA sequencing an
