An online HCC mortality risk prediction model was developed using the RSF algorithm. LPL, RAET1E, RNASEH2A, GTF2H4, SCML2, and PRDM12 are potential prognostic target genes, whereas TP53 mutations are associated with clinical features that may inform the development of HCC therapy.
The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the protein expression of GTF2H4 was correlated with the clinical features of PCa patients.The differences of the above results were statistically significant. GTF2H4, the key factor of TFIIH, is highly expressed in PCa and indicates a poor prognosis.
We show that genes such as GTF2H4, HAUS7, MSN, and MNDA could be targets of Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab, which are approved monoclonal antibodies for HNSCC. Four proteins have been identified as potential drug targets based on their crystal structure. However, the utility of these candidate genes has to be further tested using patient samples.
In summary, we identified several oncogenes and biological functions associated with N-cadherin expression in PCa cells. N-cadherin may trigger epigenetic reprogramming in PCa cells to promote tumor progression.
