| description | Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) is a common cancer in women. Despite advancements in early diagnosis through high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) screening, challenges remain in predicting and treating the disease. Hence, the identification of novel biomarkers for prognosis and therapeutic targets is crucial.CENPE, a microtubule-end directed motor protein that accumulates during the G2 phase, is recognized for its involvement in promoting cancer growth and progression. However, its specific role in CESC remains unclear. This research investigated the expression of CENPE in CESC utilizing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), which was further validated through gene expression profiles, the Human Protein Atlas (HPA), and clinical data. The study utilized Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and immune infiltration analysis to elucidate the role of CENPE in CESC. Additionally, Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and competing endogenous RNA (CeRNA) networks involving CENPE and its differentially expressed genes were established. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of CENPE on patient prognosis.Our study revealed an upregulation of CENPE expression in cervical cancer tissues, which promotes the progression of CESC through IL-6-mediated PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. The significant associations with ACNG3, LY6H, and SLC6A7 suggest that CENPE may play a role in tumor growth and metastasis, potentially involving the nervous system. Moreover, the correlations with ARIH1, KDM1A, KDM5B, and NSD3 indicate that CENPE could be a promising target for drug development. Our analysis of the ROC curve demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy of CENPE in CESC (AUC: 0.997, CI: 0.990–1.000). Subgroup analysis highlighted substantial effects in patients under 50 years old, those with a height under 160 cm, individuals in peri- and post-menopausal stages, and patients in clinical stages 1 and 4. Additionally, COX regression analysis indicated that older age, lower BMI, and higher CENPE expression are associated with decreased 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates.In conclusion, CENPE emerges as a crucial factor in the initiation and advancement of cervical cancer, showing potential as a novel target for therapeutic interventions. |
