Hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor expression functions as a prognostic biomarker in uterine carcinosarcoma based

Objective:
Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare, aggressive tumour with a high metastasis rate and poor prognosis. This study aimed to explore potential key genes associated with the prognosis of UCS.
Methods:
Transcriptional expression data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses using Metascape. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the STRING website and Cytoscape software, and the top 30 genes obtained through the Maximal Clique Centrality algorithm were selected as hub genes. These hub genes were validated by clinicopathological and sequencing data for 56 patients with UCS from The Cancer Genome Atlas database.
Results:
A total of 1894 DEGs were identified, and the top 30 genes were considered as hub genes. Hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) expression was significantly higher in UCS tissues compared with normal tissues, and elevated expression of HMMR was identified as an independent prognostic factor for shorter survival in patients with UCS.
Conclusions:
These results suggest that HMMR may be a potential biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients with UCS.
