Abstract Background Our previous studies have indicated that mRNA and protein levels of PPIH are significantly upregulated in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC) and could act as predictive biomarkers for patients with LIHC. Nonetheless, the expression and implications of PPIH in the etiology and progression of common solid tumors have yet to be explored, including its potential as a serum tumor marker. Methods We employed bioinformatics analyses, augmented with clinical sample evaluations, to investigate the mRNA and protein expression and gene regulation networks of PPIH in various solid tumors. We also assessed the association between PPIH expression and overall survival (OS) in cancer patients using Kaplan-Meier analysis with TCGA database information. Furthermore, we evaluated the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of PPIH as a serum marker by integrating serological studies with established clinical tumor markers. Results Through pan-cancer analysis, we found that the expression levels of PPIH mRNA in multiple tumors were significantly different from those in normal tissues. This study is the first to report that PPIH mRNA and protein levels are markedly elevated in LIHC, Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), and Breast cancer (BC), and are associated with a worse prognosis in these cancer patients. Conversely, serum PPIH levels are decreased in patients with these tumors (LIHC, COAD, BC, gastric cancer), and when combined with traditional tumor markers, offer enhanced sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis. Conclusion Our findings propose that PPIH may serve as a valuable predictive biomarker in tumor patients, and its secreted protein could be a potential serum marker, providing insights into the role of PPIH in cancer development and progression. |
