ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 overexpression correlates with prognosis and immune cell infiltration in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
This study investigated the role of ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The mRNA expression of ADAM12 was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the protein expression level of ADAM12...

Sumario: | This study investigated the role of ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The mRNA expression of ADAM12 was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the protein expression level of ADAM12 in renal clear cell carcinoma cell lines was detected by Western blot analysis. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test, logistic regression analysis, Cox regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to assess the relationship between the clinicopathological characteristics and the prognosis of ccRCC patients and ADAM12 expression. The miRNAs and lncRNAs associated with ADAM12 were predicted, and a ceRNA network was constructed using the Starbase database. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis were used to identify relevant pathways. The relationship between ADAM12 and immune infiltration and checkpoints was analyzed using the TIMER and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) databases. The results showed that ADAM12 expression was increased in ccRCC tissues and cells and significantly correlated with patient gender, Tumor stage, Metastasis stage, Node stage, and clinical grade. Survival analysis showed that ccRCC patients with high ADAM12 expression had a low overall survival rate. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that ADAM12 was an independent prognostic factor. Enrichment analysis showed that ADAM12 expression was associated with immune-related pathways. Immune infiltration analysis showed that ADAM12 expression was related to immune cell infiltration, PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA4. These results suggest that ADAM12 may be a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for ccRCC. |
