Abstract

Introduction: Tubulin epsilon and delta complex 2 (TEDC2) is widely expressed in various human tissues and primarily governs centriole stability. However, the biological significance of TEDC2 in pan-cancer is unclear.

Methods: In this study, we employed R software and various online bioinformatics analysis tools to investigate the functional attributes of TEDC2 in human tumours and its potential involvement in immune response. The status of TEDC2 expression was evaluated in samples from the TCGA and GEO datasets, as well as in tumour and corresponding normal samples from the TCGA database. Subsequently, Kaplan-Meier estimates, clinical correlations, and univariate Cox regressions were used to analyze the 33 types of tumors from TCGA and determine the prognostic significance of TEDC2. Moreover, nomogram models were formulated using three distinct tumours, namely kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), to evaluate the prognostic significance of TEDC2 in tumours. Furthermore, TEDC2 was investigated for its correlation with the levels of immune cell infiltration, and a functional enrichment analysis was conducted to identify potential signalling pathways involving TEDC2.

Results: Differential analysis revealed that 16 tumour types expressed TEDC2 to a greater extent than normal tissues. The abnormal expression of TEDC2 can predict survival outcomes in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), KIRC, kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), LUAD, LIHC, lower grade glioma (LGG), and thymoma (THYM). Subsequent results indicated that TEDC2 has the ability to influence ECM regulators, cell cycle, and Immune checkpoint-associated signalling pathways, which could potentially lead to a poor prognosis and tumour progression.

Discussion: TEDC2 has been identified as a potential therapeutic target that could predict the prognosis of multiple tumour types, making it a promising target for reversing tumour development.

Keywords: TEDC2; immune infiltration; pan-cancer; prognosis; tumor microenvironment.
