Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To better understand the role and underlying mechanisms of SKCM, we conducted bioinformatics analysis and in vivo experiments. RESULTS: We found its role as a tumor suppressor gene in SKCM and its effect on prognosis. In addition, this study found that miR-100-5p had a bidirectional effect on SKCM microenvironment. After exploring the relationship between the two, it was found that tumors with intermediate miR-100-5p expression had the highest level of immune cell infiltration. In addition, the value of miR-100-5p was assessed by survival analysis, univariate Cox regression analysis, and nomogram prognostic prediction. Finally, we constructed a regulatory network to illustrate the regulatory relationship of miR-100-5p. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the antitumor effect of miR-100-5p is revealed, and the present study is followed by a discussion of its molecular regulatory network, followed by novel insights into SKCM therapy.
