BACKGROUND: CCDC59, a coiled-coil domain-containing (CCDC) family member, is involved in multiple diseases, yet its pan-cancer role remains largely unclear.
METHODS: We analyzed CCDC59 across cancers using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Human Protein Atlas (HPA), along with R and tools like STRING, TISIDB, and TISCH2. CCDC59 expression was validated in clinical samples via quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot. Functional assays (proliferation, colony formation, and transwell) and cell cycle analysis were performed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) cells after siRNA-mediated CCDC59 knockdown.
RESULTS: CCDC59 was overexpressed in most cancers, particularly in bladder cancer. Its expression correlated positively with tumor mutational burden (TMB) in 21 cancer types and with microsatellite instability (MSI) in 24 cancer types, suggesting diagnostic potential. High CCDC59 expression was associated with poor prognosis and multiple clinicopathological features in renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) and LIHC. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) and enrichment analyses linked CCDC59 and its co-expressed genes to pathways related to DNA damage, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell cycle, and immune infiltration, with prominent expression observed in B cells. CCDC59 also correlated with ferroptosis- and m6A-related genes in KIRP and LIHC and was predicted to interact with multiple molecules. Experimental validation in LIHC tissues confirmed elevated CCDC59 expression, and its knockdown inhibited proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion, while inducing G1 arrest and reducing S phase cells in HepG2 and Hep3B cells.
CONCLUSION: CCDC59 is highly expressed in LIHC and other cancers, with potential diagnostic and prognostic value, and targeting it may improve immunotherapy and chemotherapy efficacy.
