Propofol is a commonly used sedative for the induction of clinical anesthesia and sedation maintenance in intensive care unit patients. However, in a minority of patients, prolonged infusion of propofol may cause metabolic acidosis, electrocardiographic abnormalities, arrhythmias, and rhabdomyolysis, a condition known as propofol-related infusion syndrome. If not promptly identified and managed, propofol-related infusion syndrome can be fatal.

Abnormal expression of key cancer genes often promotes the occurrence and development of tumors. DEP domain containing 1 (DEPDC1) is a gene that encodes a protein containing a DEP domain, which serves an important role in numerous biological processes.

Background: Temozolomide (TMZ) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for gliomas. However, its efficacy is limited by drug resistance. Platycodin D (PD) exhibits notable anti-glioma activity The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of PD to augment glioma sensitivity to TMZ and the underlying mechanisms.

This protein, which is largely undetectable in normal tissues but is highly expressed in numerous tumor types, serves a significant role in cell mitosis, proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, autophagy and apoptosis. Furthermore, DEPDC1 is implicated in several key signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β-catenin and Hippo pathways, which are essential for cell proliferation and survival.

It has shown anticancer properties, particularly against glioblastoma (GB) and other human malignancies. DEPDC1B (DEP domain-containing protein 1B) is an oncogene associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

S phase kinase-related protein 2 (Skp2) is oncogenic and overexpressed in various human tumors. It is highly expressed in GBM and its expression is correlated with tumor growth, drug resistance and poor prognosis.

However, the role of its prognosis and correlations with the clinicopathological features in different cancers haven't been explored yet. Herein, we intend to assess the prognostic value and correlations with the clinicopathological features in several cancers.
