摘要

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancer and seriously threatens the lives of many people worldwide. The difficulty in early diagnosis of lung cancer has always been a difficulty in lung cancer treatment, and basic leucine zipper nuclear factor 1 (BLZF1) has been shown to promote the occurrence and development of various cancers. This study used 505 LUAD patients in TCGA (TCGA dataset) and 60 LUAD patients in Yunnan Cancer Hospital (Clinical dataset) as research subjects to explore the role of BLZF1 in LUAD. The study found that the expression levels of mRNA and protein of the BLZF1 gene in cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in para-cancer tissues in the TCGA dataset and clinical dataset (P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis found that the AUC value of BLZF1 was 0.759 (95% CI = 0.7049–0.8140, P < 0.0001) in the TCGA dataset, and the AUC value was 0.9985 (95% CI = 0.9954–1.0000, P < 0.0001) in the clinical dataset. Moreover, the BLZF1 gene expression level in the two data sets was significantly correlated with the patient’s T stage, and survival analysis showed that high BLZF1 gene expression levels were associated with decreased recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR = 1.510, 95% Cl = 1.095–2.083, P = 0.012) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.472, 95% Cl = 1.099–1.973, P = 0.010). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) and enrichment analysis showed that the BLZF1 gene was closely associated with biological processes such as Golgi function, vesicle transport and cell membrane system maintenance. The expression correlation of BLZF1 with glycolysis-related genes indicated that BLZF1 may play a role in LUAD by participating in the sugar metabolism pathway. In addition, this study downregulated the expression of BLZF1 by small interfering RNA (si-BLZF1), and downregulation of BLZF1 expression significantly inhibited the proliferation, cloning, migration and invasion of LUAD cells. Therefore, BLZF1 may be involved in the occurrence and development of lung adenocarcinoma, which can be a potential diagnostic biomarker in clinical practice.
