利用泛癌分析SDHB基因在嗜铬细胞瘤和副神经节瘤患者中的作用
Pan-cancer analysis of the role of SDHB gene in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma
摘要
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression and prognosis of SDHB gene in pan-cancer by bioinformatics analysis,and to explore SDHB-related genes,potential pathways and immune cell infiltration in pheochromocytoma paraganglioma(PPGL).METHODS The expression of SDHB gene in pan-cancer and its relationship with survival prognosis were analyzed in The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and genotype-tissue expression(GTEx)databases.The expression changes of other genes affected by SDHB mutations,the enrichment analysis and signaling pathway analysis in PPGL patients were carried out by analyzing the TCGA database and the TARGET database.In addition,the relationship between SDHB expression and immune cell infiltration in PPGL patients was explored.RESULTS Compared with normal tissues,the expression of SDHB in 21 tumors was higher than that in normal tissues(P<0.01):BLCA,BRCA,CESC,COAD,DLBC,ESCA,GBM,HNSCC,LGG,LUAD,LUSC,OV,PAAD,PRAD,READ,SKCM,STAD,THCA,THYM,UCEC and UCS.It was expressed lower than normal in 7 other tumors(P<0.01),including ACC,CHOL,KICH,KIRC,KIRP,LAML and PPGL.The relationship between SDHB expression and survival prognosis was analyzed,and it was found that in STAD,KIRC,MESO,OS,and KIR,lower SDHB expression predicted poor prognosis,while higher expression predicted good prognosis.In UCEC,LGG,HNSCC,LAML,OSCC,and ACC,lower SDHB expression predicted a better prognosis,and similarly,higher expression predicted a poor prognosis.In correlation and enrichment analysis,the expression of SDHB was mainly related to neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,Cushing's syndrome,cortisol synthesis and secretion,peptide receptor activity,G protein-coupled peptide receptor activity,neuropeptide receptor activity,intrinsic components of the synaptic membrane,components of the synaptic membrane,components of the postsynaptic specialized membrane,cyclic nucleotide-mediated signaling pathways,neuropeptide signaling pathways,glucocorticoid metabolism processes and other signaling pathways.In immune infiltration analysis,it was found that the immune cells with the highest infiltration in the SDHB lower expression group were pDC cells and TReg cells,suggesting that pDC cells and TReg cells may play a certain role in PPGL patients.CONCLUSION SDHB gene is abnormally expressed in a variety of tumors,and it has a certain correlation with the prognosis of tumors.In PPGL patients,the signaling pathways affected by SDHB and highly infiltrating immune cells provide new insights for future mechanistic studies and immunotherapy.关键词
