ABSTRACT
Purpose:
GNG12 influences a variety of tumors; however, its relationship with glioma remains unclear. The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the relationship between GNG12 and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of glioma patients and reveal the mechanisms causing the malignant process of GNG12. Materials andMethods:
We obtained information on clinical samples from multiple databases. The expression level of GNG12 was validated using a RT-qPCR and IHC. KM curves were used to assess the correlation between the GNG12 expression and OS of glioma patients. An ROC curve was drawn to assess the predictive performance of GNG12. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with glioma. GSEA and TIMER databases were used to estimate the relationship between GNG12 expression, possible molecular mechanisms, and immune cell infiltration. CMap analysis was used to screen candidate drugs for glioma. Subsequent in vitro experiments were used to validate the proliferation and migration of glioma cells and to explore the potential mechanisms by which GNG12 causes poor prognosis in gliomas.Results:
GNG12 was overexpressed in glioma patients and GNG12 expression level correlated closely with clinical features, including age and histological type, etc. Subsequently, the K-M survival analysis indicated that the expression level of GNG12 was relevant to the prognosis of glioma, and the ROC curve implied that GNG12 can predict glioma stability. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that GNG12 represents a risk factor for glioma occurrence. GNG12 expression is closely associated with some immune cells. Additionally, several in vitro experiments demonstrated that down-regulation of GNG12 expression can inhibits the proliferation and migration capacity of glioma cells. Ultimately, the results for the GSEA and WB experiments revealed that GNG12 may promote the malignant progression of gliomas by regulating the cell adhesion molecule cell signaling pathway.Conclusion:
In this study, we identified GNG12 as a novel oncogene elevated in gliomas. Reducing GNG12 expression inhibits the proliferation and migration of glioma cells. In summary, GNG12 can be used as a novel biomarker for the early diagnosis of human gliomas and as a potential therapeutic target.
