ADORA1 is a diagnostic-related biomarker and correlated with immune infiltrates in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Adenosine A1 Receptor (ADORA1) is an adenosine receptor particularly relevant to the immunomodulatory process of malignant tumors. There are growing evidences that dysregulated overexpression of ADORA1 can promote many types of tumorigenesis. However, the expression and prognostic value and mechanism of ADORA1 in thyroid papillary carcinoma have not been reported. Methods: TCGA, ONCOMINE, UALCAN, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, LinkedOmics, TIMER, GSCALite, TISIDB and EPIC tools were used in this study. Results: ADORA1 was overexpressed in papillary thyroid carcinoma compared to paracancerous tissue. And ADORA1 was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis as well as pathological stage in PTC. ADORA1 had diagnostic and prognostic value for PTC. The functions of ADORA1 co-expressed genes were mainly enriched in immune response, immune response-regulation signaling pathway, regulation of leukocyte activation and cancer-related pathways. Besides, ADORA1 expression was significantly correlated with tumor-infiltrating cells and immune biomarkers in PTC. Finally, the high expression of ADORA1 was sensitive to JW-55 drug. Conclusion: ADORA1 is a diagnostic and a prognostic biomarker for PTC. The expression of ADORA1 is positively correlated with many immunoregulatory factors in PTC.
