Abstract:
Recent discoveries have suggested that the F-actin capping protein α1 subunit (CAPZA1) in various human tumors could play a significantly important role in regulating cell proliferation, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. However, the immune-regulating role of CAPZA1 in the initiation and development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. In our research, we first found that CAPZA1 serves as an oncogene in pan-cancers from the TCGA data and higher CAPZA1 expression process unfavorably prognostic value in LUAD based on starBase database, PrognoScan, and LOGpc database. Then, in our analyses, lncRNAs AC026356.1 in LUAD acted as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) of miR-30d-5p, which might be the possible regulatory miRNA of CAPZA1 based on the starBase database. Finally, we confirmed that CAPZA1 expression had a tightly positive correlation with immune infiltration cells, immune infiltration markers, TMB, MSI, immune score, stromal score, and immune checkpoints, indicating that CAPZA1 was a markedly reliable therapeutic target for immunological antitumor strategies. In conclusion, our investigations revealed that CAPZA1 might function as an immune-associated biomarker in the development and treatment of LUAD, thereby acting as a promising prognostic and therapeutic target against LUAD.

When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
