Systematic Analysis of E3 Ligase-Related Genes Identified UBE2L3 as a Prognostic Biomarker Associated With Drug Resistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Ling C, Cao N, Wang H, Wan Y, Liang X, Guo J, Xiao M, Zhang Q, Zhai Z

“…The roles of E3 ubiquitin ligases and related genes in AML drug resistance and prognosis remain unclear.Methods: Genes were identified from GeneCards and UniProt databases, differentially expressed genes were selected based on transcriptional sequencing data from wild-type and Adriamycin-resistant HL60 (HL60/WT & HL60/ADR) cell lines, and the intersection of these three sources was taken. We then constructed a prognostic model comprising five genes (HBP1, RNF130, RMND5B, TRIM32, and UBE2L3) through univariate Cox and LASSO regression analyses in the TCGA cohort and validated it in the BeatAML2.0 cohort. …”
