Prognostic impact of ARHGAP43(SH3BP1) in acute myeloid leukemia
Background:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy with a heterogeneous prognosis. Novel markers are required to accurately assess the prognosis and formulate treatment plans.
Methods:
The association of ARHGAP family genes with prognostic value in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was assessed using public databases (CCLE, GEPIA, TCGA, and GEO).
Results:
Elevated expression of ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) was associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) expression was higher in the poor/adverse prognosis (P < 0.001) and TP53 mutation groups (P = 0.0093). Higher ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) expression was found to be an independent prognostic predictor in multivariate COX regression analysis (HR = 1.317, 95% CI: 1.008-1.720, P = 0.044). Higher ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) expression who did not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) had shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) (OS: median: 7.60 vs. 24.90 months; P = 0.006; PFS: median: 11.40 vs. 27.22 months; P = 0.0096), whereas OS and PFS of patients who received HSCT were unaffected, suggesting that HSCT is a better treatment option for patients with higher ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) expression. KEGG and GSEA analyses revealed that high-expression ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) was related to inflammation and immune response. Additionally, down-regulation of ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) expression inhibited AML cell proliferation.
Conclusion:
These findings highlight the clinical potential of ARHGAP43 (SH3BP1) as a novel biomarker of AML, with higher levels indicating a poor prognosis.
