Project description:BackgroundSignal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) is a unique protein family that binds to DNA and plays a vital role in regulating major physiological cellular processes. Seven STAT genes have been identified in the human genome. Several studies suggest STAT family members to be involved in cancer development, progression, and metastasis. However, the predictive relationship between STAT family expression and immune cell infiltration in endometrial cancer remains unknown.MethodsWe explored STAT family expression and prognosis in endometrial cancer using various databases. The STRING, GeneMANIA, and DAVID databases, along with GO and KEGG analyses, were used to construct a protein interaction network of related genes. Finally, the TIMER database and ssGSEA immune infiltration algorithm were used to investigate the correlation of STAT family expression with the immune infiltration level in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC).ResultsOur study showed that different STAT family members are differentially expressed in UCEC. STAT1 and STAT2 expression increased at various stages of UCEC, and STAT5A, STAT5B, and STAT6 levels were decreased. STAT3 and STAT4 expression was not significantly different between UCEC and normal tissues. High STAT1 expression may be a prognostic disadvantage of UCEC, and high STAT6 expression may improve UCEC patient prognosis. The STAT family-associated genes were significantly enriched in signal transduction, protein binding, DNA binding, and ATP binding upon GO analysis. Related genes in the KEGG analysis were mainly enriched in pathways in cancer, viral carcinogenesis, chemokine signaling pathway, JAK/STAT signaling pathway, and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. In terms of immune infiltration, STAT1 and STAT2 were positively correlated with B, CD8+ T, CD4+ T, and dendritic cells, and neutrophils (p < 0.05). All STAT family members were positively correlated with neutrophils and dendritic cells (p < 0.05). STAT1 and STAT2 showed similar correlations with all immune cell types, whereas STAT1 and STAT6 showed opposite correlations.ConclusionThese findings suggest that the STAT family is a prognostic marker, and the immune infiltration level, a therapeutic target, for endometrial cancer.
