RESUMO
Prefoldin Subunit 5 (PFDN5) plays a critical role as a member of the prefoldins (PFDNs) in maintaining a finely tuned equilibrium between protein production and degradation. However, there has been no comprehensive analysis specifically focused on PFDN5 thus far. Here, a comprehensive multi-omics (transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics) analysis, systematic molecular biology experiments (in vitro and in vivo), transcriptome sequencing and PCR Array were performed for identifying the value of PFDN5 in pan-cancer, especially in Gastric Cancer (GC). We found PFDN5 had the potential to serve as a prognostic and therapeutic biomarker in GC. And PFDN5 could promote the proliferation of GC cells, primarily by affecting the cell cycle, cell death and immune process etc. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms and precise treatments of in GC.
