Background:
IBSP is a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family that plays a vital role in bone formation, renewal and repair. Emerging evidence revealed that IBSP participated in the tumorigenesis and progression in some cancers. However, its significance in tumour prognosis and immunotherapy is still unknown.
Methods:
In the current study, we studied the role of IBSP in tumorigenesis, tumor diagnosis, genomic heterogeneity, methylation modifications, immune infiltration, and therapy response in pan-cancer. In addition, we constructed a risk score model to assessed the prognostic classification efficiency of IBSP using the co-expression genes of IBSP in osteosarcoma (OS), and analyzed the expression and role of IBSP in OS through a series of assays in vitro.
Results:
IBSP was upregulated in various cancers compared to the paired normal tissues, and it was strongly correlated with the prognosis, pathological stage, diagnostic accuracy, genomic heterogeneity, methylation modification, immune infiltration, immune and checkpoint. Moreover, the predictive model we established in combination with the clinical characteristics of OS patients showed high survival predictive power in these individuals. The assays in vitro showed that IBSP promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of OS cells, which further confirmed IBSP's role in cancers.
Conclusions:
Our research revealed the multifunctionality of IBSP in the tumorigenesis, progression and therapy in various cancers, which demonstrated that IBSP may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a novel immunotherapy target in pan-cancer.
