A variety of highly malignant human cancers express mitotic arrest deficient 2 like 1 (MAD2L1), a transcription factor that plays a critical role in their development and progression. However, MAD2L1's particular mechanisms and effects on HCC remain uncertain.
METHODS: We performed a pan-cancer analysis for MAD2L1 prognosis and expression using The Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype-Tissue Expression data in the present study. MAD2L1 may act as an oncogene in HCC, and a combination of in silico analyses, including expression, survival, and correlation analyses, were performed to identify non-coding ribonucleic acids (ncRNAs) that contribute to MAD2L1 overexpression.
RESULTS: In conclusion, MAD2L1 is most likely regulated by HCP5/miRNA-139-5p/MAD2L1 in HCC based on its upstream ncRNA-related pathway. A significant positive association was also found between MAD2L1 levels and tumor immune cell infiltration, immune cell biomarkers, and immune checkpoint expression.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that ncRNA-mediated upregulation of MAD2L1 in HCC is closely related to poor prognosis and tumor infiltration.
