Abstract
- Heat shock protein family A member 5 (HSPA5) plays a pivotal role in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and unfolded protein response (UPR), both of which are crucial for protein folding, assembly, and quality control within cells. In response to ER stress, HSPA5 becomes overexpressed to preserve cellular homeostasis. A previous study revealed a robust association between HSPA5 expression and various cancers. However, the prognostic function of HSPA5 and its involvement in tumor formation remain largely unknown. In this study, we integrated HSPA5 expression data from databases such as the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to conduct a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of HSPA5. Our findings revealed that HSPA5 is overexpressed in various tumor types and is significantly associated with poor prognosis. Additionally, HSPA5 expression is significantly correlated with immune checkpoints, stromal infiltration, and consequent alterations in the immune landscape. Verification was conducted on samples from patients with various tumor types, including breast and liver cancers. Additionally, we also performed verification in vitro. In conclusion, HSPA5 may offer a potential target for cancer treatment.<br />Competing Interests: None.<br /> (AJCR Copyright © 2023.)
