Abstract
Ring finger protein 135 (RNF135) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase with RING finger domains that plays a crucial role in the development of several forms of cancer. Neither the expression profile of RNF135 nor its importance in the diagnosis of pan-cancer have been elucidated as of yet. With the aid of The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus, we have fully mapped the expression profiles, prognostic relevance, genetic modification, immune cell infiltration, and tumor heterogeneity of RNF135 in 33 malignant tumors. RNF135 was expressed inconsistently in various cancers, and variations in RNF135 expression predicted survival outcomes for cancer patients. There was a strong correlation between the levels of the RNF135 genetic mutation and some tumor progression. In addition, a strong correlation was seen between RNF135 expression and immune cell infiltration, tumor mutation burden, microsatellite instability, and immunoregulators. In contrast, the correlation between RNF135 expression and triple-negative breast cancer was investigated in this study. RNF135 may boost the proliferation, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells, according to cell experiments. RNF135 might be utilized as a biomarker to anticipate how a tumor will behave and may have a significant role in how TNBC cells grow and migrate, according to the findings of this study.
