Abstract

The Proteasome 20S subunit beta 8 (PSMB8) is an integral element of the immunoproteasome complex, playing a pivotal role in antigen processing. Despite its significance, the contributory role of PSMB8 in oncogenesis, particularly in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), has not been well-characterized. To address this gap in knowledge, our study endeavored to delineate the potential associations between PSMB8 and THCA. Transcriptomic profiles and clinical data of patients with THCA were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to facilitate comprehensive analysis. Complementary resources from additional online databases were utilized to augment the study. Logistic regression analysis was employed to elucidate the relationship between PSMB8 and various clinicopathological parameters. Uni/multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to ascertain the independent prognostic factors for THCA patient outcomes. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot assays were employed to verify the expression level of PSMB8 in vitro. Our study demonstrated that PSMB8 was significantly upregulated in THCA, with its overexpression correlating with lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension, and favorable prognosis. Immunohistochemistry substantiated a higher PSMB8 protein presence in THCA tissue compared to the normal, supporting its potential role as a moderately accurate diagnostic biomarker. Logistic regression analysis identified PSMB8 as a significant indicator of the N1 stage, classical histological subtype, and extrathyroidal extension. Age, T stage, and PSMB8 were further determined as independent prognostic factors for THCA. Functional investigations linked PSMB8 to immune processes, evidenced by its association with increased immune cell infiltration and higher stromal/immune scores, as well as a positive co-expression with several immune checkpoints. A constructed predicted competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network implicated PSMB8 in complex post-transcriptional regulation. Finally, in vitro assays confirmed the upregulation of PSMB8, underscoring its relevance in THCA and as a target for future research. Our work has preliminarily appraised PSMB8 as a biomarker with certain prognostic and diagnostic significance, and as a potential target for immunotherapy in THCA.
