Abstract

The kinesin super‑family protein (KIF) 4A gene is reported to be overexpressed and associated with poor clinical prognosis in human cancers; however, its clinical significance in prostate cancer (PCa) has not been well studied. The present study performed dataset analyses and revealed that KIF4A expression was significantly increased in castration‑resistant PCa patients. Additionally, KIF4A expression was significantly highly expressed in PCa tissues compared with non‑cancerous tissues, particularly in advanced PCa pathological stages. Upregulated KIF4A mRNA expression in PCa tissues was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival and prostate‑specific antigen failure. Furthermore, both univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that upregulated KIF4A may predict poor biochemical recurrence (BCR)‑free survival. The data suggested that KIF4A may play a key role in PCa progression. Notably, increased KIF4A expression may potentially predict poor BCR‑free survival in PCa patients.
