    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The expression of 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) in lung cancer has been validated in numerous studies. However, the prognostic value of OAS1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) still remains unclear. This study aimed to reveal the prognostic value and associated molecular mechanisms of OAS1 expression in LUAD. METHODS: Gene expression data of LUAD were extracted from online databases. Gene and protein expression levels of OAS1 in LUAD and normal samples were revealed, followed by prognostic analysis of OAS1. Next, we conducted a thorough bioinformatics analysis to examine the enrichment of key functional and biological signaling pathways and their correlation with the abundance of immune cells. The independent prognoses, drug responses, and PPI networks associated with OAS1 were analyzed. OAS1 expression was evaluated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. OAS1 was knocked down by siRNA transfection, followed by CCK8, colony formation, and wound-healing assays. RESULTS: Gene and protein expression levels of OAS1 in LUAD samples were significantly higher than those in normal samples (all P < 0.05). OAS1 stimulation were correlated with poor prognosis, lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage, immune cells, and immunomodulators. The prognostic value of OAS1 in LUAD was determined via univariate regression analysis. In total, 10 OAS1-associated genes were revealed via PPI analysis of OAS1, which were primarily enriched in functions, such as the negative regulation of viral genome replication. Transcriptional analysis revealed several OAS1-related interactions, including STAT3-miR-21-OAS1. STAT3 was overexpressed and miR-21 was expressed in LUAD cells. Upregulation of OAS1 protein was determined in LUAD tissues and cell lines. OAS1 knockdown significantly reduced proliferation and migration of LUAD cells. CONCLUSIONS: OAS1 overexpression influenced survival and immune cell infiltration in patients with LUAD, which might be a potential prognostic gene for LUAD. Moreover, OAS1 contributed to LUAD progression by participating in STAT3-miR-21-OAS1 axis.
