RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the expression of CD276 in pan-cancer,its effect on patient prognosis,and its mechanism of action.Methods TCGA and GTEx databases were used to study the differential expression of CD276 in tumor and normal tissues;R language was used to analyze the effects of CD276 on the prognosis of patients with pan-cancer,the tumor microenvironment,the tumor mutation burden,and microsatellite instability;the correlation between the expression of CD276 in tumor tissues and the tumor immune cell infil-tration was further examined;the biological function of CD276 was analyzed using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA);and finally,real-time PCR was used to validate the expression of CD276 in tumors in vitro.Results A statistical difference in CD276 expression was detected between tumor and normal tissues(P<0.05).CD276 affects tumor prognosis and is strongly associated with the tumor microenvi-ronment,tumor mutational burden,microsatellite instability,and tumor immune cell infiltration.Conclusion Comprehensive pan-cancer analysis identified CD276 as a biomarker for immune infiltration and poor cancer prognosis,which can be used as a novel immunomodula-tory target for the development of immunotherapeutically-targeted drugs,providing new ideas for tumor therapy.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the correlation between human papillomavirus(HPV) infection and cervical immune function.Methods A total of 209 women with HPV positive results in HPV-infected group,40 women with HPV negative results in control group,cervical samples were detected and genotyped with HPV GenoArray Diagnostic Kit.Concentrations of cytokines including interleukin(IL)-2,IL-4,interferon(IFN)-γ,and transforming growth factor(TGF)-β in cervical specimens were measured by ELISA.Results IL-2,IL-4 and IFN-γ levels in the HPV-infected group were different with those of the control group(P=0.000 1,0.001 0,0.000 1),TGF-β in HPV-infected group and control group showed no significant difference(P=0.680 0).IFN-γ in high-risk HPV group was significant lower than that in the low-risk HPV group(P=0.007 0).Conclusion HPV infection might be one of the main reasons of cervical local immune dysfunction.
