%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>CD147, encoded by the BSGgene, has complex transcripts that encode proteins of different lengths. Total BSG transcription is a prognostic biomarker for patients with liver cancer. This study tried to analyze the expression profile and prognostic significance of BSG transcripts in liver cancer.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project, survival data from TCGA, and protein expression data from the Human Protein Atlas were systematically analyzed.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Among the four protein-coding transcripts of BSG, ENST00000353555 encoding basigin-2 is the dominant transcript isoform. It might be an independent prognostic biomarker for unfavorable overall survival in patients with liver cancer (HR: 1.404, 95% CI: 1.1224-1.754, p = 0.003).<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>ENST00000353555 might be a prognostic biomarker linking unfavorable overall survival in liver cancer patients.
