Abstract

This study investigates the potential role of Glycosyltransferases (GTs) in the glycosylation process and their association with malignant tumors. Specifically, the study focuses on PARP14, a member of GTs, and its potential as a target for tumors in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. To gather data, the study used somatic mutation data, gene expression data and clinical information from TCGA-CESE dataset as well as tissue samples from cervical cancer patients. Further verification was conducted through RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry staining on cervical cancer tissues to confirm the expression of PARP14. The study utilized Kaplan-Meier for survival analysis of cervical cancer patient and found significant mutational abnormalities in GTs. The high frequency mutated gene was identified as PARP14. RT-qPCR revealed significantly higher mRNA expression of PARP14 compared to precancerous tissue. Using IHC combined with Kaplan-Meier,patients in the PARP14 high expression group had a better prognosis than the low expression group. The study identified PARP14 as a frequently mutated gene in cervical cancer and proposed its potential role in diagnosis and treatment.
