Therefore, we studied the relationship between AKAP5 and the prognosis of NMSA and its possible mechanisms using publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).\nMETHODS: RNA high-throughput sequencing and clinicopathologic data of NMSA were downloaded from the TCGA. Clinical pathologic features associated with AKAP5 expression were analyzed using the chi-square and Fisher exact tests. The relationship between the overall survival (OS) and AKAP5 expression was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression analysis. GSEA analysis was performed using the TCGA dataset.\nRESULTS: Our results indicated that the AKAP5 expression was increased in NMSA (all tumor vs. adjacent mucosa). Also, histologic grade, clinical stage, N classification, and survival status were significantly correlated with AKAP5 expression. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that low AKAP5 expression was associated with a poor OS among the NMSA patients (P=5.003e-05), and in the clinical stage III and IV (P=4.646e-05), TNM stage T3 (P=0.016), T4 (P=0.001), N2 (P=0.012), N3 (P=0.003), M0 (P=3.911e-05), and histological grade G3 (P=1.658e-04) subgroups. Cox regression analysis showed that reduced AKAP5 expression in NMSA is associated with age (HR =1.03, P=0.007), stage (HR =1.84 for stage I, II vs. stage III, IV, P=0.002) and M classification (HR =1.8 for M0 vs. M1, P=0.010). Gene sets related to cholesterol homeostasis, glycolysis, estrogen response late, adipogenesis, estrogen response early, notch signaling, and peroxisome were differentially enriched with the low AKAP5 expression phenotype.\nCONCLUSIONS: Low expression of AKAP5 may be a potential molecular marker for predicting poor prognosis of NMSA. Besides, cholesterol homeostasis, glycolysis, estrogen response, adipogenesis, notch signaling, and peroxisome may be the key pathways regulated by AKAP5 in NMSA.
