ITGAV as a promising diagnostic, immunological, and prognostic biomarker in pan-cancer by Hanyang Su, Jie Wang, Xinyu Cao, Xiangqian Zhang, Huajun Zhang, Xiaojin Liu

“…We further explored ITGAV’s correlation with immune cell infiltration and immune-related genes, its predictive role in immunotherapy response based on immunophenoscore (IPS), and its drug-binding potential through molecular docking. (1) ITGAV was significantly overexpressed in multiple cancer types including LIHC, COAD, and STAD. (2) ROC analysis confirmed its strong diagnostic value, particularly in HNSC, UCEC, and ESCA. (3) High ITGAV expression was associated with poorer survival outcomes in most cancers, while a protective role was observed in KIRC. (4) ITGAV expression was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration and co-expressed with immune-activating and immunosuppressive genes. (5) The expression level of ITGAV correlates with the IPS score, suggesting its predictive value for the benefit of immunotherapy. (6) Molecular docking identified strong binding affinities between ITGAV and six candidate compounds, including gemcitabine and pioglitazone. …”
