EEPD1 is identified as a predictor of prognosis and immune microenvironment through pan-cancer analysis and related to progression of colorectal cancer

Background: EEPD1 is vital in homologous recombination, while its role in cancer remains unclear. Methods: We performed multiple pan-cancer analyses of EEPD1 with bioinformatics methods, such as gene expression, gene alterations, Prognosis and enrichment analysis, tumor microenvironment, immune cell...

description Background: EEPD1 is vital in homologous recombination, while its role in cancer remains unclear. Methods: We performed multiple pan-cancer analyses of EEPD1 with bioinformatics methods, such as gene expression, gene alterations, Prognosis and enrichment analysis, tumor microenvironment, immune cell infiltration, TMB, MSI, immunotherapy, co-expression of genes, and drug resistance. Finally, RT-qPCR, EdU, and transwell assays helped investigate the impact of EEPD1 on CRC cells. Results: EEPD1 was dysregulated and correlated with bad prognosis in several cancers. GSVA and GSEA revealed that EEPD1 was primarily associated with the ''WNT_BETA_CATENIN_SIGNALING,'' ''ribonucleoprotein complex biogenesis,'' ''Ribosome,'' and ''rRNA processing.'' The infiltration of CD8+ T cells, MAIT cells, iTreg cells, NK cells, Tc cells, Tex cells, Tfh cells, and Th1 cells were negatively correlated with EEPD1 expression. Additionally, EEPD1 is significantly associated with TMB and MSI in COAD, while enhanced CRC cell proliferation and migration. Conclusions: EEPD1 was dysregulated in human cancers and correlated with various cancer patient prognoses. The dysregulated EEPD1 expression can affect tumor-infiltrating immune cells and immunotherapy response. Therefore, EEPD1 could act as an oncogene associated with immune cell infiltration in CRC.
