There is accumulating evidence that highlights the dysregulation of a long non -coding RNA, MIR210HG, in various cancers and its oncogenic role. However, a comprehensive analysis of MIR210HG expression pattern, molecular mechanisms, diagnostic or prognostic significance or evaluation of its interaction with tumor microenvironment across various cancers remains unstudied. Methods: A systematic pan -cancer analysis was done using multiple public databases and bioinformatic tools to study the molecular role and clinical significance of MIR210HG. We have analyzed expression patterns, genome alteration, transcriptional and epigenetic regulation, correlation with patient survival, immune infiltrates, coexpressed genes, interacting proteins, and pathways associated with MIR210HG. Results: The Pan cancer expression analysis of MIR210HG through various tumor datasets demonstrated that MIR210HG is significantly upregulated in most cancers and increased with the tumor stage in a subset of them. Furthermore, prognostic analysis revealed high MIR210HG expression is associated with poor overall and disease -free survival in specific cancer types. Genetic alteration analysis showed minimal alterations in the MIR210HG locus, indicating that overexpression in cancers is not due to gene amplification. The exploration of SNPs on MIR210HG suggested possible structural changes that may affect its interactions with the miRNAs. The correlation of MIR210HG with promoter methylation was found to be significantly negative in nature in majority of cancers depicting the possible epigenetic regulation of expression of MIR210HG. Additionally, MIR210HG showed negative correlations with immune cells and thus may have strong impact on the tumor microenvironment. Functional analysis indicates its association with hypoxia, angiogenesis, metastasis, and DNA damage repair processes. MIR210HG was found to interact with several proteins and potentially regulate chromatin modifications and transcriptional regulation. Conclusions: A first pan -can cancer analysis of MIR210HG highlights its transcriptional and epigenetic deregulation and oncogenic role in the majority of cancers, its correlation with tumor microenvironment factors such as hypoxia and immune infiltration, and its potential as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in several cancers. 收起
