This study identified SMC4 as a potential prognostic biomarker for LGG patients, promoting cell proliferation by repairing replication damage. The expression of SMC4 may be transcriptionally regulated by MYB.
Glioma is the most common type of malignant tumor in the central nervous system with an unfavorable prognosis and limited treatment. In this study, we are devoted to addressing the prognostic value of DNA damage repair-related genes in low-grade glioma (LGG). We plotted the landscape of DNA damage repair (DDR)-related genes and identified SMC4 as an independent prognostic marker with integrated bioinformatics analysis, which is overexpressed in different histologic subtypes of glioma. We observed that SMC4 expression is elevated in recurrent LGG patients or those with advanced histologic staging. SMC4 depletion inhibits proliferation and induces increased replication damage in LGG cells. Lastly, we predicted and validated the transcription modulation of SMC4 by a transcription factor, MYB, at the -976bp~ -837bp of the SMC4 promoter region in LGG cells. Together, our study identified SMC4 as a potential prognostic biomarker for LGG patients, which functions to promote cell proliferation by repairing replication damage and the expression of SMC4 could be transcriptionally regulated by MYB.
