Mitochondrial ribosomal protein S24 is associated with immunosuppressive microenvironment and cold tumor in lung adenocarcinoma

Objective: MRPS24 (Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein S24) belongs to the mitochondrial ribosomal protein family, which participates in the protein synthesis of the mitochondrion. However, the relationship of MRPS24 with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remained unknown. We aimed to identify its immunologica...

description Objective: MRPS24 (Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein S24) belongs to the mitochondrial ribosomal protein family, which participates in the protein synthesis of the mitochondrion. However, the relationship of MRPS24 with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remained unknown. We aimed to identify its immunological and functional mechanisms in LUAD. Methods: The analysis of MRPS24 expression, clinical features, diagnosis, prognosis, function analysis, genetic alteration, copy number variations, methylation, and tumor microenvironment was investigated by the TCGA, UCSC Xena, GEO, HPA, GEPIA, cBioPortal, MethSurv, TIMER, TIMER2.0, and TISIDB databases. Results: MRPS24 was found to be more abundant in LUAD tumor tissue than in normal tissue. High levels of MRPS24 expression were found to be an independent prognostic factor by multivariate analysis. Functional analysis revealed that MRPS24 expression was associated with the immune, cell cycle and methylation. MRPS24 methylation level was inversely linked with its expression (p < 0.001). Patients with low MRPS24 methylation had a worse prognosis than those with high methylation (p < 0.05). In addition, the result revealed that the MRPS24 expression was inversely linked to the immune cell infiltration in LUAD. Finally, the validations of the expression level, prognosis, and immune cell infiltration of MRPS24 were in accordance with our previous results. Conclusions: This study systematically explored that MRPS24 expression was significantly correlated with prognosis, tumorigenesis, genetic alteration, copy number variations, methylation, and immune cell infiltration in LUAD. MRPS24 might be a potential immune-related biomarker in the development and treatment of LUAD, thereby acting as a promising predictor of immunotherapy response in LUAD.
