Multiomic Analysis of Cereblon Expression and Its Prognostic Value in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma, Lung Adenocarcinoma, and Skin Cutaneous Melanoma

Cereblon (CRBN) is a component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that plays crucial roles in various cellular processes. However, no systematic studies on the expression and functions of <i>CRBN</i> in solid tumors have been conducted to date. Here, we analyzed <i>CRBN</i> e...

description Cereblon (CRBN) is a component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that plays crucial roles in various cellular processes. However, no systematic studies on the expression and functions of <i>CRBN</i> in solid tumors have been conducted to date. Here, we analyzed <i>CRBN</i> expression and its clinical value using several bioinformatic databases. <i>CRBN</i> mRNA expression was downregulated in various cancer types compared to normal cells. Survival analysis demonstrated that overall survival was significantly positively correlated with <i>CRBN</i> expression in some cancer types including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), and skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). <i>CRBN</i> expression was downregulated regardless of clinicopathological characteristics in LUAD and KIRC. Analysis of genes that are commonly correlated with <i>CRBN</i> expression among KIRC, LUAD, and SKCM samples elucidated the potential CRBN-associated mechanisms of cancer progression. Overall, this study revealed the prognostic value of CRBN and its potential associated mechanisms, which may facilitate the development of anti-cancer therapeutic agents.
