Methods The expression data of liver cancer and related clinical data published up to June 2019 were collected from TCGA database to screen out the differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs( lncRNAs) between liver cancer tissue and adjacent tissue which affected the prognosis of patients. The association of the expression level of DUXAP8 with clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed. Gene ontology( GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was used to investigate the biological functions and biological processes of DUXAP8-related genes. The STRING database and Cytoscape were used to analyze protein-protein interactions and screen out key genes,and then the expression levels of key genes and prognosis were analyzed and a literature search analysis was performed. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare the expression of DUXAP8 between liver cancer tissue and adjacent tissue,and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare the expression of DUXAP8 between the patients with different clinicopathological features. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves and the log-rank test was used for survival comparison between groups; a Cox regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for prognosis. A Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze DUXAP8-related genes. Results As for the matched and unmatched samples,there was a significant difference in the expression of DUXAP8 between liver cancer tissue and adjacent tissue( P < 0. 001),and the expression of DUXAP8 in liver cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissue. There was a significant difference in the expression of DUXAP8 between the patients with different ages or T stages( P < 0. 05),and the patients with an age of ≥60 years or a T stage of T3 or T4 tended to have higher expression of DUXAP8. The univariate analysis showed that clinical stage,T stage,and expression of DUXAP8 were associated with patients' overall survival( all P <0. 001),and the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that an advanced clinical stage( hazard ratio [HR]= 1. 648,95% confidence interval [CI]: 1. 330-2. 709,P < 0. 001) and high expression of DUXAP8( HR = 1. 849,95% CI: 1. 262-2. 713,P < 0. 01) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. The genes involved in the maintenance of tumor cell proliferation and cell cycle were enriched in the samples with high expression of DUXAP8. TOP2 A,KIF2 C,TTK,PLK1,CDCA8,CDC20,NCAPG,BUB1 B,BUB1,and CCNA2 were the Hub genes of DUXAP8-related genes and were mainly involved in the processes such as cell mitosis and cell cycle,and they were the factors for poor prognosis of patients with liver cancer( all P < 0. 05). Conclusion The high expression of DUXAP8 is a risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with liver cancer and DUXAP8 may promote the development and progression of liver cancer by affecting the processes of cell proliferation and cell cycle.
