Oncogene or tumor suppressor gene: An integrated pan-cancer analysis of NBPF1.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma breakpoint family, member 1 (NBPF1), appears to be a double-edged sword with regard to its role in carcinogenesis. On the one hand, the tumor-suppressing functions of NBPF1 have been definitively observed in neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and cervical cancer. On the other hand, there is evidence that NBPF1 regulates the colony formation, invasion, and maintenance of liver cancer cells and hence functions as an oncogene. The roles of NBPF1 are strictly dependent on the biological context and type of organization. However, a systematic pan-cancer analysis has thus far not been undertaken, and the significance of NBPF1 in the occurrence and progression of many malignancies is uncertain. In this paper, bioinfo
