Identification roles of NFE2L3 in digestive system cancers

Background Morbidity and mortality rates of Digestive System Cancers (DSC) continue to pose human lives and health. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like protein 3 (NFE2L3) is aberrantly expressed in DSC. This study aimed to explore the clinical value and underlying mechanisms of NFE2L3 as a novel biomarker in DSC. Methods We utilized data from databases and clinical gastric cancer specimens to validate the aberrant expression level of NFE2L3 and further assessed the clinical value of NFE2L3. To investigate the potential molecular mechanism of NFE2L3, we analyzed the correlation of NFE2L3 with immune molecular mechanisms, constructed PPI network, performed GO analysis and KEGG analysis, and finally explored the biological function of NFE2L3 in gastric cancer cells. Results NFE2L3 expression is up-regulated in DSC and has both prognostic and diagnostic value. NFE2L3 correlates with various immune mechanisms, PPI network suggests proteins interacting with NFE2L3, GSEA analysis suggests potential molecular mechanisms for NFE2L3 to play a role in cancer promotion, and in vitro cellular experiments also confirmed the effect of NFE2L3 on the biological function of gastric cancer cells. Conclusion Our study confirms the aberrant expression and molecular mechanisms of NFE2L3 in DSC, indicating that NFE2L3 could serve as a novel biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of DSC..
