Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression level of P2RX1 in non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and to investigate relationships among P2RX1 expression,prognosis and tumor immune infiltration level of LUAD patients.METHODS: Different bioinformatic tools were used to explore correlations between P2RX1 expressions and DNA methylation levels in LUAD.The correlations between P2RX1 expression and prognosis of LUAD patients was also explored by different tools.The P2RX1 co-expressed genes were screened to explore the functional classifications and to select hub genes in LUAD.TIMER 2.0 database,R software and other bioinformatic tools were used to investigate correlations among P2RX1 expression,immune infiltration and immune checkpoints in LUAD.RESULTS: P2RX1 expressions were significantly downregulated in LUAD (P<0.05).Low P2RX1 expression levels tended to present worse prognosis in LUAD patients.In LUAD,P2RX1 expression was correlated with many clinicopathological factors such as tumor purity,stage and so on (P<0.05).No significant relationship was found between P2RX1 expression and prognosis of cancer.The methylation level of Cg06475633 was significantly associated with prognosis in LUAD patients.The P2RX1 coexpressed genes were mainly involved in immune cells activation,differentiation and other molecular biological process and signaling pathways.The selected hub genes contained BTK,IKZF1 and others.Most Hub genes were correlated with better prognosis in LUAD.The expression of P2RX1 was significantly correlated with immune cells infiltration especially with B cells infiltration in LUAD.P2RX1 expression was also positively correlated with immune stromal score,PD-1,CTLA-4 and many other immune checkpoints in LUAD (P< 0.05).CONCLUSION: P2RX1 might be useful as a biomarker for detection and as a therapeutic target for LUAD.
