Abstract

DTL has been found to be related with multiple cancers. However, comprehensive analyses, which identify the prediction value of DTL in diagnosis, prognosis, immune infiltration and treatment, have rarely been reported so far. Combined with the data online databases, the gene expression, gene mutation, function enrichment and the correlations with the immunity status and clinical indexes of DTL were analyzed. Expression of DTL and the degree of immune cell infiltration were examined by immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) and analyzed by statistical analysis. Furthermore, the influences of DTL on the cell cycle, cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by live cell imaging, IF and flow cytometric (FC) analysis. Genomic stability assays were conducted by chromosome slide preparation. DTL was widely expressed in various cells and tissues, while it was overexpressed in tumor tissues except acute myeloid leukemia (LAML). Pan-cancer bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression of DTL was correlated with the prognosis, immunotherapy, and clinical indexes in various cancers. In addition, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) uncovered that DTL was enriched in oocyte meiosis, pyrimidine metabolism, the cell cycle, the G2M checkpoint, mTORC1 signaling and E2F targets. Furthermore, the overexpression of DTL, and its association with immune cell infiltration and clinical indexes in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) were verified in our study. It was also verified that overexpression of DTL could regulate the cell cycle, promote cell proliferation and cause genomic instability in cultured cells, which may be the reason why DTL plays a role in the occurrence, progression and treatment of cancer. Collectively, this study suggested that DTL is of clinical value in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of various cancers, and may be a potential biomarker in certain cancers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2023.
All research outputs
#21,186,626
of 25,959,914 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#6,159
of 9,119 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#315,031
of 422,599 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#94
of 153 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,959,914 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,119 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 422,599 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 153 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
