Abstract Background Acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing 3 (ACBD3) is a multifunctional protein, that plays essential roles in cellular signaling and membrane domain organization. Although the precise roles of ACBD3 in various cancers remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to determine the diverse roles of ACBD3 in pan-cancers. Methods Relevant clinical and RNA-sequencing data for normal tissues and 33 tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, the Human Protein Atlas, and other databases were applied to investigate ACBD3 expression in various cancers. ACBD3-binding and ACBD3-related target genes were obtained from the STRING and GEPIA2 databases. The possible functions of ACBD3-binding genes were explored using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. We also applied the diagnostic value and survival prognosis analysis of ACBD3 in pan-cancers using R language. The mutational features of ACBD3 in various TCGA cancers were obtained from the cBioPortal database. Results When compared with normal tissues, ACBD3 expression was statistically upregulated in eleven cancers and downregulated in three cancers. ACBD3 expression was remarkably different among various pathological stages of tumors, immune and molecular subtypes of cancers, cancer phosphorylation levels, and immune cell infiltration. The survival of four tumors was correlated with the expression level of ACBD3, including pancreatic adenocarcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, sarcoma, and glioma. The high accuracy in diagnosing multiple tumors and its correlation with prognosis indicated that ACBD3 may be a potential biomarker of pan-cancers. Conclusion According to our pan-cancer analysis, ACBD3 may serve as a remarkable prognostic and diagnostic biomarker of pan-cancers as well as contribute to tumor development. ACBD3 may also provide new directions for cancer treatment targets in the future. |
