Abstract
Objedtive
Pre-B cell leukemia (PBX) has been found to be associated with cancer, but poorly studied with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). In this study, the correlation between PBX family and COAD pathogenesis and immune cytokine infiltration was further explored by analyzing online tumor databases, in order to find new biomarkers for the diagnosis of COAD.
Methods
The online database was used to analyze gene differential expression, methylation level, gene mutation rate, immune infiltration difference, drug sensitivity, and so on.
Results
PBX1 and PBX3 decreased in COAD. PBX2 and PBX4 increased. The expression of PBX1 and PBX2 in different clinical stages was different. PBX4 was valuable for the prognosis of COAD. PBX family has correlation between COAD and immune infiltration. PBX2 was correlated with different pathological stages. PBX3 had the highest gene mutation rate, followed by PBX1, PBX2 and PBX4. PBX1, PBX2 and PBX4 were correlated with the sensitivity of multiple drugs.
Conclusion
The PBX family is differentially expressed in COAD and has a genetic mutation, and its protein network is closely related to the HOX family and is associated with immune infiltration of COAD.
