DNAJB6, a major member of the DNAJ/HSP40 family, plays an important role in tumor development. We explored the effect of DNAJB6 expression on the prognosis of patients and its biological role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). mRNA and clinical data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Enriched pathways were determined by the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. A nomogram incorporating DNAJB6 and three clinical features was constructed to predict the survival rate. DNAJB6 expression and function in LUAD were explored using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, proliferation, cell cycle analysis, RNA sequencing, and xenograft tumor assays. DNAJB6 mRNA levels were elevated in the LUAD-TCGA dataset. DNAJB6 protein levels were higher in LUAD tumor tissues than in normal tissues. A high DNAJB6 level was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with LUAD. The proportion of tumor-infiltrating immune cells significantly differed between high and low DNAJB6 expression. DNAJB6 was associated with cell cycle pathways; therefore, its knockdown induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and inhibited LUAD cell proliferation. This is the first report of the DNAJB6 requirement for LUAD cell proliferation and its potentially crucial role in LUAD prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
