| description | Abstract Background As precision medicine gradually played an inaccessible role in cancer treatment, there was an urgent need to explore biomarkers or signatures for predicting cancer prognosis. Currently, little was known about the associations between COLGALT1 and kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Hence, this study was performed to reveal its roles in KIRC and to identify potential mechanisms of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Methods R 4.1.1 software was utilized to conduct bioinformatics analyses with the data derived from online databases. Difference analysis, survival analysis, univariate/multivariate cox regression analysis and correlation analysis were carried out successively in this article. Besides, we also investigated potential effects and mechanisms of COLGALT1 in KIRC. Results COLGALT1 expression was overexpressed in KIRC samples compared with the normal samples and it was associated with poor OS (P < 0.001). COLGALT1 was also found to be significantly related to clinicopathological characteristics such as grade, T, N, M, stage and Cox regression analysis with univariate and multivariate data suggested it might be an independent prognostic parameter in KIRC (P < 0.001). Furthermore, Seven significantly enriched pathways were identified. Interestingly, correlation analyses revealed an association between COLGALT1 and microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutational burden (TMB) and immunity (P < 0.001). In addition, we used TIDE and TCIA databases to predict the immune response of COLGALT1 in KIRC and it suggested low expression of COLGALT1 is more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Besides, we identified a ceRNA network of SLC16A1-AS1/hsa-mir-502-3p/COLGALT1 for its potential mechanism. Finally, experiments in vitro indicated that COLGALT1 was significantly related to cell proliferation. Conclusions COLGALT1 could act as a valid immune-related prognostic indicator for KIRC and participated in a ceRNA network of SLC16A1-AS1/hsa-mir-502-3p/COLGALT1, offering one potential biomarker to investigate the mechanism and clinical therapeutic value of KIRC. |
