The cuproptosis-related gene UBE2D2 functions as an immunotherapeutic and prognostic biomarker in pan-cancer.
Clinical & Translational Oncology 2024 May 5
BACKGROUND: Cuproptosis, as a unique modality of regulated cell death, requires the involvement of ubiquitin-binding enzyme UBE2D2. However, the prognostic and immunotherapeutic values of UBE2D2 in pan-cancer remain largely unknown.
METHODS: Using UCSC Xena, TIMER, Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) databases, we aimed to explore the differential expression pattern of UBE2D2 across multiple cancer types and to evaluate its association with patient prognosis, clinical features, and genetic variations. The association between UBE2D2 and immunotherapy response was assessed by gene set enrichment analysis, tumor microenvironment, immune gene co-expression and drug half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) analysis.
RESULTS: The mRNA and protein levels of UBE2D2 were markedly elevated in most cancer types, and UBE2D2 exhibited prognostic significance in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), kidney chromophobe (KICH), uveal melanomas (UVM), cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP). UBE2D2 expression was correlated with clinical features, tumor mutation burden, microsatellite instability, and anti-tumor drug resistance in several tumor types. Gene enrichment analysis showed that UBE2D2 was significantly associated with immune-related pathways. The expression level of UBE2D2 was correlated with immune cell infiltration, including CD4 + T cells、Macrophages M2、CD8 + T cells in pan-cancer. PDCD1, CD274 and CTLA4 expression levels were positively correlated with UBE2D2 level in multiple cancers.
CONCLUSIONS: We comprehensively investigated the potential value of UBE2D2 as a prognostic and immunotherapeutic predictor for pan-cancer, providing a novel insight for cancer immunotherapy.
