Endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex subunit 6 (EMC6) plays an important function in both physiological and pathological states of cells. Nevertheless, there are few studies focused on the role of EMC6 in tumors. At first, we performed a series of bioinformatics analyses on 33 kinds of cancers, including differential expression analysis, tumor mutational burden analysis, prognostic analysis, and clinicopathological staging analysis. Then, we corroborated the important role of EMC6 in lung cancer by cytological and in vivo experiments. We found that the reduction of EMC6 expression did effectively inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of A549. Finally, EMC6 is indeed involved in the regulation of ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and immune response in LUAD. In a word, our study not only comprehensively analyzed the functional mechanisms of EMC6 in all cancers but also validated the regulatory role of EMC6 in lung cancer for the first time.
