DCK is an Unfavorable Prognostic Biomarker and Correlated With Immune Infiltrates in Liver Cancer.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The biological function of deoxycytidine kinase in tumor is not yet clear, and there are a few studies relating to the correlation of deoxycytidine kinase gene with the occurrence and development of liver cancer. METHODS:The messenger RNA expression of deoxycytidine kinase was analyzed with the use of the UALCAN and GEPIA database. Moreover, we assessed the function of deoxycytidine kinase on clinical prognosis with Kaplan-Meier plotter database. The relationship between deoxycytidine kinase and cancer immune infiltrates was investigated via Tumor Immune Estimation Resource site. Furthermore, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource was also used to evaluate the correlations between the expression of deoxycytidine kinase and gene marker sets of immune infiltrates. RESULTS:The deoxycytidine kinase messenger RNA level significantly upregulated in patients with liver cancer compared to normal liver samples. Moreover, the increased expression of deoxycytidine kinase messenger RNA was closely associated with reduced overall survival and disease-free survival in all liver cancers. In addition, deoxycytidine kinase expression displayed a strong correlation with infiltrating levels of macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in liver cancer, and deoxycytidine kinase expression was positively correlated with diverse immune marker sets in liver cancer. CONCLUSIONS:All the above findings suggested that increased expression of deoxycytidine kinase was significantly related to unfavorable prognosis in patients with liver cancer. And deoxycytidine kinase is correlated with immune infiltrating levels, including those of B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells in patients with liver cancer. These findings suggest that deoxycytidine kinase can be used as a prognostic biomarker for determining prognosis and immune infiltration in liver cancer. And deoxycytidine kinase is a potential target for liver cancer therapy, and these preliminary findings require further study to determine whether deoxycytidine kinase-targeting reagents might be developed for clinical application in liver cancer.
