CDK2AP1 influences immune infiltrates and serves as a prognostic indicator for hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a tumor with high malignancy and poor 5-years survival rate. Excellent tumor markers are very important for early clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. Previous studies have shown that CDK2AP1 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 2-associated protein 1) is involved in cell-cycle and epigenetic regulation. In the present study, we assess CDK2AP1 expression, prognostic value, immunomodulatory and possible influencing pathways in HCC. Method: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to analyse gene expression, clinicopathology and prognosis. The protein level of CDK2AP1 in HCC tissues was detected in the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. The immune score in HCC to CDKAP1 expression were analyzed using ESTIMA
