Background:
NUDCD1 (NudC Domain Containing 1) performs an essential function in biological processes such as cell progression, migration, cell cycle, and intracellular material transport. Many solid tumors express it highly, which is a prospective biomarker and therapeutic approach. However, the expression and clinical importance of NUDCD1 across breast cancer is unclear.
Methods:
The expressions of NUDCD1 in breast cancers and normal breast tissues were studied utilizing the TIMER database and immunohistochemical analysis. Subsequently, we validate the association between the expression of NUDCD1 and clinicopathologic features and prognosis of breast cancer. The immunohistochemical experiments of pathway-related molecules were done on 214 breast cancer tissue microarrays. The investigation of correlation between NUDCD1 expression and tumor immune infiltration was subsequently conducted.
Results:
Through the utilization of bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemical experiments, it was determined that NUDCD1 exhibited upregulation within breast cancer. Furthermore, it was discovered that an elevated expression of NUDCD1 may potentially be linked to a worse prognosis in breast cancer. Our study reveals that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway may perform a function in NUDCD1 regulating breast cancer progression via enrichment analysis. Furthermore, the expression of NUDCD1 may be associated with the degree of immunological infiltration.
Conclusion:
The expression of NUDCD1 was explored to be elevated in breast cancer and was observed to be correlated with a poorer prognosis. p-AKT, PI3K, AKT, mTOR, and p-mTOR expression levels underwent significant elevation in breast cancer. The function of NUDCD1 within breast cancer might be associated with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
