EXOC3L1: A Novel Prognostic Biomarker Correlated with Immune Infiltration in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND Exocyst complex component 3-like 1 (EXOC3L1) is ubiquitously present in multiple organs. However, its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between EXOC3L1 and ESCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 652 normal samples and 82 ESCC samples obtained from the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Xena were applied to detect the expression difference of EXOC3L1. GSE53625 with 179 paired samples and GSE161533 with 28 paired samples were used for validation. The correlation between clinicopathological features and EXOC3L1 expression was calculated. Kaplan-Meier method was employed to assess the prognostic value of EXOC3L1 in ESCC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were carried out t
