Abstract

Heat shock protein 90α (HSP90α) encoded by the HSP90AA1 gene, is the stress inducible isoform of the molecular chaperone HSP90, and was demonstrated as a promising hallmark to diagnose, prognosis in malignant tumors. This study is to evaluate the value of HSP90α in diagnosis, prognosis and immunotherapy of malignant tumors by investigating the expression of HSP90α in plasma of various tumors and analyzing the expression of HSP90α at gene and protein levels via pan-cancer database. We founded that levels of HSP90α in malignant tumors groups were significantly higher than healthy controls in serum. Pan-cancer analysis showed that HSP90AA1 was highly expressed in 27 of 33 tumors, but low in individual cancers (such as renal malignancies). The plasma HSP90α level was positively correlated with the stage of malignant tumor, but there was no significant difference between HSP90AA1 and the stage of most tumors. Cox regression analysis showed that HSP90AA1 expression was significantly correlated with OS in only 6 of the 32 cancers, including LIHC, KIRC, HNSC, LUAD, BRCA and MESO. Up-regulation of HSP90AA1 in most tumors was positively correlated with PDCD1LG2 and CD274 immune checkpoint genes. T cell CD8+ was positively correlated with HSP90AA1 in COAD, DLBC and UVM, and negatively correlated with HSP90AA1 in ESCA, GBM, HNSC, KIRC, KIRP, UCEC and STAD. The AUC of HSP90α are generally high in different tumor groups, which indicated its diagnostic value in malignant tumors. In conclusion, serum HSP90α in patients with malignant tumor is generally elevated, which is of positive significance as an independent diagnosis and combined diagnosis. However, we found that the expression level of HSP90AA1 gene in most tumors was not completely consistent with the serum level, and even down-regulated in some tumors. Plasma levels can be used as biomarkers of poor prognosis in some tumors, but it cannot be used as a biomarker for poor prognosis of all tumors, and more in-depth studies are needed.
