Abstract

Background. As a member of the exon junction complex (EJC), RNA-binding motif protein 8A (RBM8A) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of mRNA and multiple activities of an organism. Immunotherapy has been proven to be a staple type of cancer treatment. However, the role of RBM8A and immunity across cancer types is unclear. Objective. This study aims to visualize the expression, prognosis, mutations, and coexpressed gene results of RBM8A across cancer types and to explore the link between RBM8A expression and immunity. Methods. In this study, data were collected from multiple online databases. We analyzed the data using the HPA, UALCAN Database, COSMIC, cBioPortal, Cancer Regulome tools, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, and TIMER website. Results. For the expression of RBM8A in normal tissues, higher expression of RBM8A was observed in immune-related cells than in nonimmune organs. The expression level of RBM8A was related to tumor type. Missense mutations in RBM8A were found in most tumors and affected the prognosis of carcinomas with coexpressed genes. RBM8A was strongly associated with immune-infiltrating cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors, especially in LIHC. Conclusions. RBM8A is a gene worth exploring and may be a unique immune target in the future.
