Upregulated SPOCK2 Predicts a Worse Overall Survival and Correlates with Abundance of Tumor Infiltrating Immune Cells for High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer
Abstract:Background
SPOCK2 is a member of the SPOCK family, a 424-amino acid protein that binds to glycosaminoglycans to form proteoglycans. The purpose of this study was to explore expression profile of SPOCK2, and evaluate prognostic potential and its correlation with immune infiltration in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).
Methods
Expression of SPOCK2 mRNA and protein between normal and tumor tissues were analyzed using the Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Clinical Proteo… Show more
