Abstrakt: LDL lipoprotein receptor-related protein 11 (LRP11) plays a role in several tumors. However, their roles in hepatocellular carcinoma remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore the expression profile and prognostic value of LRP11 in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) patients using various cancer databases and bioinformatic tools. In bioinformatics analysis, The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets showed increased LRP11 expression in tumor tissues compared to that in non-tumor tissues in various cancers. Moreover, patients with high expression LRP11 correlated with poor prognosis and clinical features. The LRP11 expression positively correlated with the infiltration of immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells and a combination of high LRP11 expression and high immune infiltrates was associated with the worst survival in LIHC tumors. Our results also indicated that LRP11 expression was closely associated with immune-modulate function, such as antigen presentation. In DNA methylation profiling, hypomethylation of LRP11 is widely observed in tumors and has prognostic value in LIHC patients. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that LIHC-specific LRP11 interacting genes are involved in protein binding, intracellular processing, and G-protein-related signaling pathways. Analyses of drug sensitivity and immune checkpoint inhibitor predict a number of drugs that could potentially be used to target LRP11. In addition, in vitro experiments verified the promoting effect of LRP11 on the migration, invasion, and colony formation capacity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Collectively, our results aided a better understanding of the clinical significance of LRP11 in gene expression, functional interactions, and epigenetic regulation in LIHC and suggested that it may be a useful prognostic biomarker for LIHC patients.
