Study explores BLZF1's impact on lung adenocarcinoma, indicating its promise as a diagnostic biomarker.

Key Points

The study aims to investigate the role of BLZF1 in lung adenocarcinoma and its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.
Analyzed 505 LUAD patients from TCGA and 60 from Yunnan Cancer Hospital.
Compared mRNA and protein expression levels of BLZF1 in cancer and para-cancer tissues.
Utilized ROC curves to assess BLZF1's diagnostic value.
Conducted survival analysis correlating BLZF1 levels with T stage and recurrence-free survival.
Downregulated BLZF1 using siRNA to study its effect on LUAD cell proliferation and migration.
BLZF1 expression was significantly higher in cancer tissues than in para-cancer tissues (P < 0.001).
In the TCGA dataset, the AUC for BLZF1 was 0.759, and 0.9985 in the clinical dataset (P < 0.0001 for both).
High BLZF1 expression correlated with decreased recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.510, P = 0.012) and overall survival (HR = 1.472, P = 0.010).
BLZF1 is associated with processes like Golgi function and glycolysis, indicating its role in sugar metabolism.
Knocking down BLZF1 expression inhibited LUAD cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.
