Comprehensive analysis reveals TSEN54 as a robust prognosis biomarker and promising immune-related therapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma
Aging(2023)
摘要
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma represents the most common primary malignancy of all liver cancer types and its prognosis is usually unsatisfactory. TSEN54 encodes a protein constituting a subunit of the tRNA splicing endonuclease heterotetramer. Previous researches concentrated on the contribution of TSEN54 in pontocerebellar hypoplasia, but no studies have yet reported its role in HCC.Methods: TIMER, HCCDB, GEPIA, HPA, UALCAN, MEXPRESS, SMART, TargetScan, RNAinter, miRNet, starBase, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, LinkedOmics, GSEA, TISCH, TISIDB, GeneMANIA, PDB, GSCALite were applied in this research.Results: We identified the upregulation of TSEN54 expression in HCC and related it to multiple clinicopathological features. Hypomethylation of TSEN54 was closely associated with its high expression. HCC sufferers who held high TSEN54 expression typically had shorter survival expectations. Enrichment analysis showed the involvement of TSEN54 in the cell cycle and metabolic processes. Afterward, we observed that TSEN54 expression level had a positive relationship to the infiltration level of multiple immune cells and the expression of several chemokines. We additionally identified that TSEN54 was related to the expression level of several immune checkpoints and TSEN54 was linked to several m6A-related regulators.Conclusions: TSEN54 is a prognostic marker of HCC. TSEN54 could become a prospective candidate for HCC diagnosis and therapy.
