Abstract
Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), relatively aggressive subtype of renal cell carcinoma, lacks of effective targets and promising biomarkers. Recently, although the function and immune correlation of semaphorin 3G (SEMA3G) in cancer draw more and more attention, its specific role and mechanism in KIRC are still not fully understood. In this work, we firstly conducted pan-cancer expression and survival bioinformatic analysis for SEMA3G and showed that SMEA3G might be a potential tumor suppressor and favorable prognostic biomarker in KIRC. Next, upstream noncoding RNA (ncRNA) regulatory mechanism of SEMA3G in KIRC was explored. By performing a series of in silico analyses, we identified that TBX2-AS1-miR-146a/b-5p axis was partially responsible for SEMA3G downregulation in KIRC. Furthermore, we also confirmed significant correlation of SEMA3G expression with tumor immune infiltration levels, expression of biomarkers of immune cells or immune checkpoints in KIRC. Taken together, the current data elucidated that ncRNA-caused downregulation of SEMA3G markedly linked to favorable prognosis and tumor immune infiltration in KIRC.
