Summary: | belongs to the family of Grainyhead-like (GRHL). Previous studies have shown that dysregulation of growth and survival pathways is associated with the GRHL family of gene cancers. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has changed the treatment paradigm for many tumors, including endometrial cancer (EC). However, the effect of
on immunotherapy in EC and its relationship with immune cell infiltration are poorly understood.
Differential expression of
between EC and normal EC tissues was analyzed by searching the TCGA database, and the results were verified utilizing immunohistochemistry analyses. Next, the relationship between
, CD8+ T cells and tumor microenvironment (TME) was also investigated, and the effect of
expression on immunotherapy in EC was evaluated.
According to the findings, EC tissues had elevated expression levels of
relative to normal tissues. Patients with EC who expressed
at high levels experienced worse overall survival (OS) and Progression-free survival (PFS) than those whose expression was lower. In addition,
expression was negatively correlated with CD8+ T cells, and patients with high
expression were less effective in receiving immunotherapy.
The expression of
was high in EC patients, and high expression of
inhibits the proliferation of CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment of EC and affect the efficacy of immunotherapy. |
