目的既往研究发现,泛素结合酶E2T(ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T,UBE2T)在多种肿瘤中表达升高,然而UBE2T在乳腺癌中是否存在高表达及意义尚不清楚。本研究探讨UBE2T表达水平在乳腺癌中的临床意义和可能的机制。方法从癌症基因组图谱(the cancer genome atlas,TCGA)数据库下载正常乳腺组织和乳腺癌组织中UBE2T基因mRNA二代测序数据及临床信息资料,分析UBE2T mRNA表达水平与乳腺癌临床病理学参数的相关性及对预后的影响。采用Cox回归多因素分析探讨影响乳腺癌患者预后的因素,采用基因集富集分析(gene set enrichment analysis,GSEA)方法预测UBE2T可能的调控通路。结果 UBE2T mRNA在乳腺癌组织中表达量为9.28~3 963.54,中位374.18,显著高于正常乳腺组织中UBE2T表达量8.54~216.13,中位40.44,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001),而且UBE2T表达水平与乳腺癌患者年龄、分子分型、T分期、TNM分期、雌激素受体(estrogen receptor,ER)、孕激素受体(pro...
【英文摘要】
OBJECTIVE Studies has indicated that ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T(UBE2T)was up-regulated in several kinds of cancers,however,whether UBE2T is up-regulated in breast cancer has not been reported.Our study was to investigate the potential prognostic value of UBE2T in breast cancer.METHODS The expression data of UBE2T and its clinical information in breast cancer were downloaded from TCGA dataset.Then the relationship between the expression of UBE2T and clinico-pathological characteristics and the prognost...
