Here, we examined the utility of LHFPL6 as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.Methods: We explored the clinical relevance, function, and molecular role of LHFPL6 in GC using the MethSurv, cBioPortal, TIMER, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, ONCOMINE, MEXPRESS, and EWAS Atlas databases. The GSE118919, GSE29272, and GSE13861 datasets were used for differential expression analysis. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas, we developed a Cox regression model and assessed the clinical significance of LHFPLs. In addition, we used the “CIBERSORT” algorithm to make reliable immune infiltration estimations. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to examine protein expression. Cell migration and invasion were assessed using transwell experiments. THP-1-derived macrophages and GC cells were co-cultured in order to model tumor–macrophage interactions in vitro. The levels of CD206 and CD163 were measured using immunofluorescence assays. The results were visualized with the “ggplot2” and “circlize” packages.Results: Our results showed that in GC, LHFPL6 overexpression was significantly associated with a poor prognosis. Our findings also suggested that LHFPL6 may be involved in the activation of the epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, LHFPL6 expression showed a positive correlation with the abundance of M2 macrophages, which are potent immunosuppressors.Conclusion: LHFPL6 could be a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.Keywords: gastric cancer, LHFPL6, biomarker, EMT, M2 macrophagesLiu YJYin SYZeng SHHu YDWang MQHuang PLi JPDove Medical Pressarticlegastric cancerlhfpl6biomarkeremtm2 macrophagesTherapeutics.
