Pan-cancer analyses reveal GTSE1 as a biomarker for the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment

G2 and S phase-expressed-1 (GTSE1) has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in many cancer types. However, the knowledge of GTSE1 across 33 cancer types remains scarce, and the mechanisms by which GTSE1 promotes cancer development remain incompletely understood. R language and TIMER2.0...

Sumario:G2 and S phase-expressed-1 (GTSE1) has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in many cancer types. However, the knowledge of GTSE1 across 33 cancer types remains scarce, and the mechanisms by which GTSE1 promotes cancer development remain incompletely understood. R language and TIMER2.0 were used to analyze the clinical relevance of GTSE1 across > 10,000 subjects representing 33 cancer types based on the cancer genome atlas databases. The expression of GTSE1 was upregulated in almost all cancer types and hyperactivity of GTSE1 is likely to induce DNA repair response and positively correlates with the tumor mutational burden and microsatellite instability which are both promising predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy. GTSE1 was upregulated in TP53 mutation patients. Additionally, GTSE1 also positively correlates with tumor purity and tumor infiltration of immune-suppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Consistently, high expression of GTSE1 is associated with poor patient survival in many cancer types. Conclusion: Our study provides new insights into the diagnostic and prognostic role of GTSE1 in cancers and suggests therapeutic approaches for GTSE1-overexpressing cancers by targeting DNA repair response, and the tumor immune microenvironment.
