Background:
Abelson interactor 1 (ABI1) is associated with the metastasis and prognosis of many malignancies. The association between ABI1 transcript spliced variants, their molecular constitutive exons and exon-exon junctions (EEJs) in 14 cancer types and clinical outcomes remains unsolved.
Objective:
To identify novel cancer metastatic and prognostic biomarkers from ABI1 total mRNA, TSVs, and molecular constitutive elements.
Methods:
Using data from TCGA and TSVdb database, the standard median of ABI1 total mRNA, TSV, exon, and EEJ expression was used as a cut-off value. Kaplan-Meier analysis, Chi-squared test (X2) and Kendall's tau statistic were used to identify novel metastatic and prognostic biomarkers, and Cox regression analysis was performed to screen and identify independent prognostic factors.
Results:
A total of 35 ABI1-related factors were found to be closely related to the prognosis of eight candidate cancer types. A total of 14 ABI1 TSVs and molecular constitutive elements were identified as novel metastatic and prognostic biomarkers in four cancer types. A total of 13 ABI1 molecular constitutive elements were identified as independent prognostic biomarkers in six cancer types.
Conclusions:
In this study, we identified 14 ABI1-related novel metastatic and prognostic markers and 21 independent prognostic factors in total 8 candidate cancer types.
