Abstract
Background and study aims
Laminin is an extracellular matrix molecule that is the major component of the basement membrane and plays a key role in regulating various processes. However, the association between the laminin gene family and the prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma has not been systematically investigated.
Patients and methods
The role of the laminin gene family in pancreatic cancer was evaluated using data from the TCGA database. The effects of different expressions of members of the laminin gene family on pancreatic cancer survival were compared, and their primary cellular roles were examined. The effects of different expressions of positive family genes on proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, as well as EMT and ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer, were also examined.
Results
Based on univariate and multifactorial analysis of pancreatic cancer patients, LAMA3 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in pancreatic cancer. LAMA3 was found to be enriched in the actin cytoskeleton, P53 signaling pathway, adhesion molecule junctions, pentose phosphate pathway, and regulatory differences in the cell cycle and focal adhesion. Additionally, high expression of LAMA3 was found to promote cancer proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, facilitate the EMT process, and inhibit ferroptosis.
Conclusions
Our results identified LAMA3 was associated with the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer and may serve as a prognostic biomarker for pancreatic cancer.
