Abstract: Objective: Analyzing the expression, biological role, and prognostic impact of protein regulating cytokinesis 1 (PRC1) in gastrointestinal tumors through bioinformatics tools, and subsequently guide clinical treatment.
Method: Based on a public database analysis, the expression level of PRC1 in gastrointestinal tumors, co-expressed genes, biological mechanisms of action, immunological regulatory characteristics, interpretation of gene mutation sites, prognostic impact on various tumors, and the prognostic impact of gene mutations on gastrointestinal tumors are analyzed.
Result: PRC1 was highly expressed in cholangiocarcinoma, colon cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, rectal cancer, and gastric cancer, and highly co-expressed with PRC1 related genes, which together affected the biological process of gastrointestinal tumors. The PRC1 and related gene sets were mainly enriched in mitotic related items in gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. In terms of immune promotion, PRC1 plays a regulatory role in B, CD4+, CD8+ and other immune cells in gastric and pancreatic cancer. PRC1 affects the biological process of gastrointestinal tumors in various forms of deep deletion, shallow deletion, diploid mutation, and amplification. The main mutation forms of each point on the PRC1 segment are missense mutations and truncations, which affect the translation and expression of PRC1, thereby affecting the biological process of gastrointestinal tumors. The high expression of PRC1 affects the prognosis of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. PRC1 mutation group indicates a poor prognosis of gastrointestinal tumors.
Conclusion: The high expression and mutation of PRC1 in gastrointestinal tumors are high-risk factors for malignant progression and poor prognosis of gastrointestinal tumors, further guiding clinical treatment strategies.
