Absent in melanoma 1-like (AIM1L) serves as a novel candidate for overall survival in hepatocellular carcinoma

Identifying biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) survival is of great importance for the early detection, monitoring, and predicting for prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the candidate biomarkers for predicting overall survival (OS) in HCC patients. Using RTCGAToolbox, top 50 upregulated differential expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Cox models were used to select powerful candidate genes, and log rank method was used to address the survivor functions of potential biomarkers. Selected by LASSO model, ANLN, TTK, AIM1L and person neoplasm cancer status might be candidate parameters associated with OS in HCC patients. After adjusting person neoplasm cancer status, ANLN and TTK levels in Cox model, AIM1L was identified as a risk factor for predicting OS in HCC patients (HR = 1.5, P = 0.037). Validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) series, AIM1L was significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues compared to nontumor tissues (all P < 0.0001). HCC patients with high AIM1L in tumor tissues had significantly unfavorable OS compared to those with low AIM1L in TCGA, ICGC, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Kaplan-Meier Plotter datasets (all P < 0.05). Conclusively, AIM1L is upregulated in tumor samples and serves as a novel candidate for predicting unfavorable OS in HCC patients.
