NcRNA-mediated upregulation of CAMK2N1 is associated with poor prognosis and tumor immune infiltration of gastric cancer

Gastric cancer (GC) is still notorious for its poor prognosis and aggressive characteristics. Though great developments have been made in diagnosis and therapy for GC, the prognosis of patient is still perishing.

description Gastric cancer (GC) is still notorious for its poor prognosis and aggressive characteristics. Though great developments have been made in diagnosis and therapy for GC, the prognosis of patient is still perishing. In this study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GC were first screened using three Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE13911, GSE29998, and GSE26899). Second, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data were used to validate expression of these DEGs and perform survival analysis. We selected seven candidate genes (CAMK2N1, OLFML2B, AKR7A3, CYP4X1, FMO5, MT1H, and MT1X) to carry out the next analysis. To construct the ceRNA network, we screened the most potential upstream ncRNAs of the candidate genes. A series of bioinformatics analyses, including expression analysis, correlation analysis, and survival analysis, revealed that the SNHG10–hsa-miR-378a-3p might be the most potential regulatory axis in GC. Then, the expression of CAMK2N1, miR-378a-3p, and SNHG10 was verified in GC cell lines (GES-1, MGC-803, BGC-823, HGC-27, MKN-45, and AGS) by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. We found that SNHG10 and CAMK2N1 were highly expressed in gastric cancer lines, and the miR-378a-3p was lowly expressed in BGC-823, HGC-27, and MKN-45. Furthermore, CAMK2N1 levels were significantly negatively associated with tumor immune cell infiltration, biomarkers of immune cells, and immune checkpoint expression. In summary, our results suggest that the ncRNA-mediated high expression of CAMK2N1 is associated with poor prognosis and tumor immune infiltration of GC.
