This study utilized various analytical methods to identify SEMA3F as a potential oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma, along with determining the noncoding RNAs influencing its overexpression. Additionally, a significant association was found between SEMA3F and tumor immune cell infiltration.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is notorious for its poor prognosis. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that semaphorin 3F (SEMA3F) plays key roles in initiation and progression of several types of human cancer. However, the specific role and mechanism of SEMA3F in HCC remains not fully determined. In this study, we first performed pan-cancer analysis for SEMA3F's expression and prognosis using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data and found that SEMA3F might be a potential oncogene in HCC. Subsequently, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) contributing to SEMA3F overexpression were identified by a combination of a series of in silico analyses, including expression analysis, correlation analysis, and survival analysis. Finally, the TMPO-AS1/SNHG16-let-7c-5p axis was identified as the most potential upstream ncRNA-related pathway of SEMA3F in HCC. Moreover, SEMA3F level was significantly positively associated with tumor immune cell infiltration, biomarkers of immune cells, and immune checkpoint expression. Collectively, our findings elucidated that ncRNAs-mediated upregulation of SEMA3F correlated with poor prognosis and tumor immune infiltration in HCC.
