- Abstract
Background: Cell division cycle 45 ( CDC45 ) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of numerous carcinomas, but its effect in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains unclear. Materials and Methods: The messenger RNA and protein expression levels of CDC45 in LSCC were evaluated with a t test and the standard mean difference (SMD). The ability of CDC45 expression to distinguish the LSCC was assessed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), protein-protein interaction, public databases, and online tools were used to explore the potential molecular mechanism of CDC45 in LSCC. Results: A high expression of CDC45 was identified in LSCC (SMD = 2.61, 95% confidence interval [1.62-3.61]). Through ROC curves, the expression of CDC45 makes it feasible to distinguish the LSCC group from the non-LSCC counterpart. CDC45 was relevant to the progression-free interval of LSCC patients (log-rank p = 0.03). GSEAs show that CDC45 is related to the cell cycle. CDC45 , CDC6 , KIF2C , and AURKB were identified as hub genes of LSCC. E2F1 may be the regulatory transcription factor of CDC45 . Conclusions: High expression of CDC45 likely demonstrates carcinogenic effects in LSCC, and CDC45 is a potential target in screening and treatment of LSCC.
