摘要: To seek novel prognostic biomarkers for testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) and investigate the immune microenvironment, we identified critical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by overlapping GSE1818 dataset from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was used to key modules hub genes. Functional enrichment analysis performed underlying molecular functions of DEGs in TGCT development progression. The following survival based on Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) indicated that AKAP4, SPA17 TNP1 are correlated with prognosis. Immunohistochemistry quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction verified down-regulation 3 TGCT. set conducted further explore role respectively. In addition, samples had high infiltration CD8+ T cells, M0 M1 macrophage resting myeloid dendritic cells microenvironment. We also constructed microRNA-gene regulatory networks identify upstream microRNAs conclusion, our findings promising AKAP4 might regulate
