Comprehensive Analysis of <scp>GPSM2</scp> : From Pan‐Cancer Analysis to Experimental Validation

G-protein signalling modulator 2 (GPSM2) plays an important role in maintaining cell polarisation and regulating the cell cycle; however, a systematic and comprehensive analysis of GPSM2 in cancer is still lacking. Using extensive multi-omics data, we explored the pan-cancer expression levels of GPSM2 from multiple perspectives and its association with prognosis, diagnosis, tumour stemness, immune-related genes, immune cell infiltration, genomic instability, and response to immunotherapy. We also elucidated the potential pan-cancer biological functions of GPSM2 using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and searched for targeted drugs that affect GPSM2 expression using connectivity map analysis. To elucidate the effect of GPSM2 on colon cancer, we evaluated its effect on the biological behaviour of two colon cancer cell lines. In this study, GPSM2 was systematically analysed and shown to have satisfactory performance in disease diagnosis and prognostic prediction of various cancers. G-protein signalling modulator 2 plays an important role in the genesis and development of various tumours and is a potential tumour diagnostic and prognostic biomarker as well as an anti-cancer therapeutic target.
