RAB6B is a potential prognostic marker and correlated with the remolding of tumor immune microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Backgrounds: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer and the second leading cause of death among all cancers. The Ras-associated binding (Rab) proteins constitute the largest family of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases, which mainly mediate membrane trafficking processes. RAB6B is a member of Rab GTPases, and it has been found to be dysregulated in various tumors. However, the clinical significance, correlations with immune cells, and stroma infiltration of RAB6B in HCC remain unclear. Methods: RAB6B mRNA and protein expression in HCC were examined using the TIMER, HCCDB, UALCAN, and HPA databases. The genetic alterations of RAB6B were analyzed by cBioPortal and COSMIC databases. The correlations between RAB6B and tumor-infiltrating i
