Abstract

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed types of cancer worldwide. However, there remains a lack of accurate biomarkers to predict the outcome of PCa. Non‑SMC condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) encodes a regulatory subunit of the non‑structural maintenance of chromosomes condensin I complex. The present study aimed to investigate whether NCAPH may be a novel diagnostic marker for PCa by analyzing public datasets, including GSE17951, GSE55945 and a dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The current results, to the best of our knowledge, demonstrated for the first time that NCAPH is significantly upregulated in PCa. Furthermore, it was identified that NCAPH expression is higher in stage T3/T4 and N1 PCa samples compared with stage T2 and N0 PCa samples, respectively. Kaplan‑Meier analysis demonstrated that overexpression of NCAPH is associated with poor survival of patients with PCa. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that NCAPH is involved in regulating the PCa cell cycle by interacting with a number of proteins, including non‑SMC condensin I complex subunit D2, non‑SMC condensin I complex subunit G, structural maintenance of chromosomes 4, structural maintenance of chromosomes 2, Aurora kinase A, Aurora kinase B, cyclin‑dependent kinase 1, H2A histone family member Z, POC1 centriolar protein A and histone cluster 2 H2A family member C. In summary, the present results suggest NCAPH may be a novel and beneficial diagnostic and therapeutic target in PCa.
