Abstract The biological functions of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2 (UBE2) family members in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) remains unclear. Our study aimed to systematically analyze the expression patterns, prognostic value, biological functions and molecular regulatory mechanisms of UBE2 family in UCEC. Among nine screened UBE2 family members associated with UCEC, UBE2C was the most significantly overexpressed gene with poor prognosis. High expression levels of UBE2C in UCEC was correlated with stages, histological subtypes, patient’s menopause status and TP53 mutation. Three molecules (CDC20, PTTG1 and AURKA), were identified as the key co-expression proteins of UBE2C. The generic alterations (mutation, amplification) and DNA hypomethylation might contribute to UBE2C’s high expression in UCEC. Furthermore, in vitro experiments showed that the interference of UBE2C inhibited the migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells, while partially impact cell proliferation and didn’t impact the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. Using comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments, our study provided a novel insight into the oncogenic role of UBE2 family, specifically UBE2C in UCEC. UBE2C might serve as an effective biomarker to predict poor prognosis and a potential therapeutic target in clinical practice. |
