Expression, oncological and immunological characterizations of BZW1/2 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Despite the progress in early diagnosis and treatment, prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is still poor. Basic leucine zipper and W2 domain-containing protein 1 (BZW1) and protein 2 (BZW2) are attached to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) superfamily. Recently, BZW1 was identified as an important role in glycolysis of PAAD. However, the comprehensive reports about BZW1/2 in PAAD are not sufficient. Methods: RNA-seq data in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases were retrospectively analyzed. We explored the expression of BZW1/2 in PAAD tissues and the associations between BZW1/2 and prognosis. In addition, the potential roles of BZW1/2 in tumor microenvironment (TME) of PAAD were analyzed. Finally, clinicopathological d
