To explore the relationship between mouse double minute 2 binding protein (MTBP) and the prognosis of cancer patients, a databank-based reanalysis was conducted and a clinical observation about lung adenocarcinoma was taken to verify the result of data analysis.We reanalyzed all the downloaded data in order to make a conclusion about the relationship between MTBP and the prognosis of cancer patients. At last, we collected 112 lung cancer patients with MTBP information to verify the results of data analysis (GSE30219).The overall Kaplan-Meier curve results of 6 eligible data groups were shown in Fig. 1. The Kaplan-Meier curve result of GSE16011 was shown in Fig. 1A (concordance index = 59.48, Log-Rank Equal Curves [P = 5.942e-05], R = 0.045/1, risk groups hazard ratio = 1.69 [conf. int. 1.3-2.9], P = 7.344e-05), while the stratification results were displayed independently in Figs. 2 and 3. The similar results could be seen in other 5 data groups. The tissue sections of 112 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were collected and immunohistochemically stained. The hyper expression rate of MTBP in adenocarcinoma was 23.21% (26/112). The results showed that patients with hyper expression of MTBP had significantly worse prognosis than the control group, and the survival curves were clearly separated from each other (Fig. 4B, P = .000).Hyper expression of MTBP maybe an adverse event for the survival of some cancer patients, especially in glioblastoma, kidney cancer, and lung cancer patients, which has been verified in 112 lung cancer patients with MTBP status.
