Purpose: PABPN1 acts as a modulator of poly(A) tail length and alternative polyadenylation. This research was aimed to explore the role of PABPN1 in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: Public databases were performed to analyze expression, location, roles of prognosis and tumor immunity and interaction with RNAs and proteins of PABPN1. To investigate PABPN1 expression in tissues, 78 CRC specimens were collected to conduct IHC, and 30 pairs of frozen CRC and corresponding adjacent normal tissues were used to conduct qRT-PCR and WB. In addition, in vitro experiments were then carried out to identify the role of PABPN1 in CRC.
Results: Compared with normal tissues, PABPN1 expression was significant higher in CRC. Its high level predicted poor outcome of CRC. Th1 and Treg had significant negative relationships not only with PABPN1 expression, but also with six molecules interacting with PABPN1, including IFT172, KIAA0895L, RECQL4, WDR6, PABPC1 and NCBP1. In addition, PABPN1 had negative relationships with quite a few immune markers, such as CSF1R, IL-10, CCL2 and so on. In cellular experiments, silencing PABPN1 inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis in HCT-116 CRC cells.
Conclusion: In summary, PABPN1 might become a novel biomarker and correlate with tumor immunity in CRC.

Aggregation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is a hallmark of several age-related neuromuscular diseases. However, our understanding of how these aggregates drive dysfunction is often limited by the use of non-disease-relevant models. Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is caused by a short alanine expansion mutation in the PABPN1 gene, which leads to nuclear aggregation of the protein.

Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome with rapid onset and poor prognosis, and existing diagnostic methods suffer from low sensitivity and delay. To achieve early identification and precise intervention, there is an urgent need to discover new precise biomarkers.
Methods: AKI samples were acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

RNA polyadenylation is a key post-transcriptional modification essential for gene expression regulation. However, the role and mechanism of polyadenylation and its key molecule, polyadenylate binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1), in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of PABPN1 and its regulatory genes in HCC progression to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of poly(A) binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) as a potential pan-cancer biomarker for prognosis and immunotherapy.
Methods: The original datasets were acquired from TCGA and GEO databases. PABPN1 expression analysis was conducted utilizing the Oncomine, TIMER, GEPIA, and BioGPS databases.
