Abstract
Background
Although many experiments and clinical studies have proved the link between the expression of CDKN3 and human tumors, we have not been able to identify any bioinformatics study in which the extensive tumor-promoting effect of CDKN3 was systematically analyzed.
Objective
Explore the extensive tumor-promoting effects of CDKN3 and review the research progress of CDKN3 in cancer.
Methods
We systematically reviewed the literature on CDKN3 and tumors. We explored the potential tumor-promoting effects of CDKN3 on different tumors in the TCGA database and the GTEx database using multiple platforms and websites. We studied the expression level of CDKN3, survival, prognosis, diagnosis, genetic variation, immune infiltration, and enrichment analysis using databases such as TIMER 2.0, GEPIA2, cBioPortal, and STRING.
Results
We found that CDKN3 is highly expressed in most tumors. The expression of CDKN3 is closely related to the prognosis of some tumors. And CDKN3 may have diagnostic value. The conclusion of our literature review is roughly the same, but there are differences, which are worthy of further study. Moreover, CDKN3 may be related to immune cell infiltration in tumor tissues. The genetic alteration of LUAD, STAD, SARC, PCPG, and ESCA with "Amplification" as the main type. In addition, through enrichment analysis, we found that CDKN3 affects tumors mainly through the control of the cell cycle and mitosis.
Conclusion
CDKN3 is highly expressed in most tumor tissues and has a statistical correlation with survival prognosis. It has extensive tumor-promoting effects that may be related to mechanisms such as immune infiltration.
