ABSTRACT
The significance of USP11 as a critical regulator in cancer has garnered substantial attention, primarily due to its catalytic activity as a deubiquitinating enzyme. Nonetheless, a thorough evaluation of USP11 across various cancer types in pan-cancer studies remains absent. Our analysis integrates data from a variety of sources, including five immunotherapy cohorts, thirty-three cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and sixteen cohorts from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), two of which involve single-cell transcriptomic data. Our findings indicate that aberrant USP11 expression is predictive of survival outcomes across various cancer types. The highest frequency of genomic alterations was observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), with single-cell transcriptome analysis revealing significantly higher USP11 expression in plasmacytoid dendritic cells and mast cells. Notably, USP11 expression was associated with the infiltration levels of CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) activated cells. Additionally, in the skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) phs000452 cohort, patients with higher USP11 mRNA levels during immunotherapy experienced a significantly shorter median progression-free survival. USP11 emerges as a promising molecular biomarker with significant potential for predicting patient prognosis and immunoreactivity across various cancer types.
