Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the pivotal role of platelet-type phosphofructokinase(PFKP) in adenocarcinoma of lung(LUAD).Methods:PFKP expression in LUAD tissues and adjacent normal tissues was assessed utilizing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.In addition,immunohistochemistry was conducted on clinical samples of LUAD tissues and adjacent normal tissues to evaluate PFKP expression.The TCGA database was further exploited to investigate PFKP expression and its correlation with LUAD prognosis and immune infiltration.Results:Our findings unveiled upregulated PFKP expression in LUAD tissues,established an association with clinical pathological features (AJCC stage and TNM stage) and poor prognosis.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and ROC curve analysis substantiated these observations by demonstrating that patients with high PFKP expression exhibited shorter median overall survival than those with low expression.Notably,PFKP expression displayed heightened predictive value for 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival predictions.Enrichment analysis disclosed the involvement of PFKP's biological functions in anti-tumor drug metabolism processes.Moreover,PFKP exhibited close associations with the tumor microenvironment and immune therapy.Consequently,our study identified several clinical drugs and inhibitors that exhibited increased sensitivity in LUAD patients with high PFKP expression.Conclusion:PFKP's critical role in the onset and progression of LUAD and its potential as a drug therapy target make its significance in both research and treatment.
