Conclusions
Collectively, we verified that DUSP10 was an independent prognostic indicator and may become a novelty target of targeted therapy of LGG.
Methods
We entirely determined the expression features and prognostic significance of DUSP10 in numerous tumors by implementing a pan-cancer analysis. Adjacently, we thoroughly inspected the correlation between DUSP10 expression and clinicopathologic features, prognosis, biological processes, immune traits, gene variations, and treatment responses based on the expression features in LGG. In vitro studies were conducted to detect the underlying functions of DUSP10 in LGG.
Objective
The role of dual-specificity phosphatase 10 (DUSP10) has been investigated in several types of cancer. Nevertheless, the underlying function of DUSP10 in lower-grade glioma (LGG) remains undetermined.
Results
Unconventionally boosted DUSP10 expression and higher DUSP10 expression correlated with poorer prognosis were discovered in various tumors, including LGG. Fortunately, DUSP10 expression was proven to be an independent prognostic indicator of patients with LGG. Additionally, DUSP10 expression was tightly linked to the immune modulation, gene mutations, and response to immunotherapy/chemotherapy in LGG patients. In vitro studies illustrated that the DUSP10 was abnormally increased and pivotal for cell proliferation in LGG. Conclusions: Collectively, we verified that DUSP10 was an independent prognostic indicator and may become a novelty target of targeted therapy of LGG.
