Core Tip |
This study unveils the crucial role of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) in liver cancer prognosis. Five key genes (autophagy related 10, proteasome 20S subunit alpha 8, proteasome 20S subunit beta 2, ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 2, and ubiquitin specific peptidase 8) identified from The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets constitute a robust prognostic model, accurately predicting liver cancer outcomes. Immunocyte infiltration analysis highlights associations of these genes with immune cell abundance, while clinical correlations link them to tumor stage and recurrence. Differential gene expression and pathway enrichment elucidate underlying biological processes. E3 analysis identifies specific ligases (cell division cycle 20, Kelch repeat and BTB domain containing 11, and DCAF4L2) with significant expression differences, further emphasizing the integral role of the UPP in liver cancer development and providing valuable insights for precision medicine and prognosis prediction. |
