MND1 functions as a potential prognostic biomarker associated with cell cycle and immune infiltration in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is a common and invasive subtype of renal tumors, which has poor prognosis and high mortality. MND1 is a meiosis specific protein that participates in the progress of diverse cancers. Nonetheless, its function in KIRC was unclear. Here, TIMER, TCGA, GEO databases and IHC found MND1 expression is upregulated in KIRC, leading to poor overall survival, and MND1 can serve as an independent prognostic factor. Moreover, enrichment analysis revealed the functional relationship between MND1 and cell cycle, immune infiltration. EdU and transwell assays confirmed that MND1 knockdown surely prohibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of KIRC cells. Additionally, immune analysis showed that MND1 displayed a strong correlation with various immune cells
