Identification and Validation of UPF1 as a Novel Prognostic Biomarker in Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Up frameshift protein 1 (UPF1) is a key component of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) of mRNA containing premature termination codons (PTCs). The dysregulation of UPF1 has been reported in various cancers. However, the expression profile of UPF1 and its clinical significance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear. Methods: In order to detect UPF1 expression in ccRCC and its relationship with the clinical features of ccRCC, bulk RNA sequencing data were analyzed from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and ArrayExpress databases. The impact of UPF1 on the immune microenvironment of ccRCC was evaluated by multiple immune scoring algorithms to identify the cell groups that typically express UPF1 using ccRCC single cell
