Early Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of BIRC5 in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Based on TCGA Data
Purpose: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly lethal cancer that would benefit from non-invasive innovative markers providing early diagnostic and prognostic detection. Increased BIRC5 (baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat containing 5) expression is associated with negative outcomes or survival in various cancers. Our study aims to investigate the role of BIRC5 of early diagnosis and prognosis in ccRCC by studying the expression of BIRC5 and the correlation between BIRC5 expression and clinicopathological parameters, prognosis in ccRCC.
Methods: The BIRC5 expression in ccRCC tissues and normal kidney tissues was measured using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and The Human Protein Atlas database. The correlation between BIRC5 expression and clinicopathological parameters, prognosis in ccRCC was analyzed using UALCAN, Kaplan Meier plotter, GEPIA and SurvExpress.
Results: BIRC5 expression is significantly higher in ccRCC than in normal kidney tissues, and is correlated with the clinical stage and pathological grade of ccRCC(P<0.05). The result of analyzing the relationship between BIRC5 expression and outcomes in ccRCC indicates that high BIRC5 expression is an independent prognostic factor affecting overall survival and disease-free survival of ccRCC (P<0.05). Compared with normal kidney tissues, the immunohistochemical test shows that BIRC5 is significantly upregulated in ccRCC tissues.
Conclusions: The high expression of BIRC5 is an important indicator of the prognosis of ccRCC, which makes BIRC5 be an effective biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients in ccRCC. BIRC5 may be a great potential biomarker for early diagnosis of ccRCC.
