Multi-omics analysis identifies PTTG1 as a prognostic biomarker associated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy resistance.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPituitary tumor-transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) is an important gene in tumour development. However, the relevance of PTTG1 in tumour prognosis, immunotherapy response, and medication sensitivity in human pan-cancer has to be determined.
methodsTIMER, GEPIA, the human protein atlas, GEPIA, TISCH2, and cBioportal examined the gene expression, protein expression, prognostic value, and genetic modification landscape of PTTG1 in 33 malignancies based on the TCGA cohort. The association between PTTG1 and tumour immunity, tumour microenvironment, immunotherapy response, and anticancer drug sensitivity was investigated using GSCA, TIDE, and CellMiner CDB. Molecular docking was used to validate the possible chemotherapeutic medicines for PTTG1. Additionally, siRNA-mediated knockdown was employed to confirm the probable role of PTTG1 in paclitaxel-resistant cells.
resultsPTTG1 is overexpressed and associated with poor survival in most tumors. Functional enrichment study revealed that PTTG1 is involved in the cell cycle and DNA replication. A substantial connection between PTTG1 expression and immune cell infiltration points to PTTG1's possible role in the tumour microenvironment. High PTTG1 expression is associated with tumour immunotherapy resistance. The process could be connected to PTTG1, which mediates T cell exhaustion and promotes cytotoxic T lymphocyte malfunction. Furthermore, PTTG1 was found to be substantially linked with sensitivity to several anticancer medications. Suppressing PTTG1 with siRNA reduced clone formation and migration, implying that PTTG1 may play a role in paclitaxel resistance.
conclusionPTTG1 shows potential as a cancer diagnostic, prognostic, and chemosensitivity marker. Increased PTTG1 expression is linked to resistance to cancer treatment. The mechanism could be linked to PTTG1's role in promoting cytotoxic T lymphocyte dysfunction and mediating T cell exhaustion. It is feasible to consider PTTG1, which is expressed on Treg and Tprolif cells, as a new therapeutic target for overcoming immunotherapy resistance.
