Abstract
Ubiquitin-like PHD and ring finger domain protein 1 (UHRF1) are members of the multifunctional UHRF family, which can participate in DNA methylation change and histone posttranslational change through particular domains and participate in the event and development of tumors. The purpose of this study was to decide the molecular traits and potential medicine-based importance of UHRF1 that helped settle methylated immune infiltration in generalized cancer by carefully studying the relationship between UHRF1 expression and a variety of tumors and to further check for truth the functional role of UHRF1 in kidney-related cancer. A comprehensive analysis of UHRF1 in 33 cancers was performed based on TCGA database. This research involves analysis of mRNA expression profiles, prognostic value, immune infiltration, immune neoantigens, TMB, microsatellite instability, DNA methylation, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Both immune infiltration and DNA methylation were used to evaluate the importance and method of UHRF1 in renal cancer. The results showed that tumor tissue had higher expression level of UHRF1 than usual tissue. The high expression level of UHRF1 is related to the survival rate of renal cancer. UHRF1 expression was associated with tumor mutation load and microsatellite instability in different cancer types, and enrichment analysis identified terminology and pathways associated with UHRF1. This study showed that UHRF1 plays an important role in the group of objects and development of 33 tumors. UHRF1 may serve as a biomarker of immune infiltration and poor outlook of cancer.
