| Popis: | Purposes: Minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins play an important role in replication and cell cycle progression. Even so, their expression and prognostic roles in cancer remain controversial. Methods: To address this issue, the study investigated the roles of MCMs in the prognosis of GC by using ONCOMINE, GEPIA2, UALCAN, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE), the Human Protein Atlas, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, and DAVID databases. Results: Over expressions of mRNA and cell lines were found in all members of the MCM family, and MCMs were found to be significantly associated with pathological tumor grades in GC patients. Besides, higher mRNA expressions of MCM1/5/7 were found to be significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (FP) in GC patients, while higher mRNA expression of MCM4/6/9 were connected with favorable OS and FP. Moreover, a high mutation rate of MCMs (68%) was also observed in GC patients. Conclusions: The results indicated that MCM1/5/7 were potential targets of precision therapy for patients with GC. And MCM4/6/9 were new biomarkers for the prognosis of GC. The results of the study will contribute to supplement the existing knowledge, and help to explore therapeutic targets and enhance the accuracy of prognosis for patients with GC. |
