ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recent studies have confirmed that Copines-1 (CPNE1) is associated with many malignancies. However, the role of CPNE1 in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is currently unclear.METHODS:
TIMER2.0, TCGA, UALCAN databases were used to investigate the expression of CPNE1 in STAD and normal tissues. KM-plotter database was used to explore the relationship between CPNE1 expression and prognosis in STAD. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to assess the protein levels of CPNE1 in both normal and cancer tissues, as well as to confirm the prognostic significance of CPNE1. In order to assess the viability of CPNE1 as a divider, the Recipient Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was employed and the assessment based on the AUC score (below the curve). To investigate the potential function of CPNE1, correlation analysis and enrichment analysis were performed with the clusterProfiler package in R software. The CPNE1 binding protein network was constructed by STRING and GeneMANIA. The relationship between methylation and prognosis was explored by Methsurv database. The Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) was employed to predict drug responsiveness in STAD. Ultimately, CCK-8 assays and RT-qPCR were performed to confirm the correlation between CPNE1 expression and the IC50 of Axitinib in the AGS cell line.RESULT:
CPNE1 is highly expressed in various cancers, including STAD. High expression of CPNE1 indicated poor overall survival (OS) of STAD (P < 0.05). The ROC curve suggested that CPNE1 was a potential diagnostic biomarker (AUC = 0.925). The functions of CPNE1 were enriched in DNA-acting catalytic activity, sulfur transferase activity, Ran GTPase binding, DNA helicase activity, helicase activity and eukaryotic ribosome biosynthesis. Hyper-methylated CPNE1 predicts better prognosis in STAD (P < 0.05). Additionally, STAD patients with high-expression CPNE1 seemed to be more resistant to the chemotherapeutic agents, including A-770041, WH-4-023, AZD-2281, AG-014699, AP-24534, Axitinib, AZD6244, RDEA119, AZD8055, Temsirolimus, Pazopanib and Roscovitine. In vitro experiments demonstrated the involvement of CPNE1 in Axitinib chemoresistance.CONCLUSION:
CPNE1 could be a predictive biomarker and a potential target for biological therapy in STAD.
