SMARCA1is a mammalian imitation switch (ISWI) gene that encodes for SNF2L. SNF2L is involved in regulating cell transition from a committed progenitor state to a differentiated state. Although many papers have detailed the correlation between SMARCA1 and different cancers, no pan-cancer analysis has been conducted to date. We started by exploring the potential carcinogenic role of SMARCA1 across 33 carcinomas using the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and the genotype-tissue expression (GTEx) databases. The expression of SMARCA1 was significantly elevated in some tumor types but not in others. There was a distinct relationship between SMARCA1 expression and patient prognosis. S116 phosphorylation levels were up-regulated in both lung adenocarcinoma and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma. The expression level of SMARCA1 was positively correlated with cancer-associated fibroblasts infiltration in a number of tumors, such as colon adenocarcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma. It was also associated with CD8+ T-cell infiltration in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, SMARCA1 is involved in chromatin remodeling and protein processing-associated mechanisms. Our study presents an initial assessment and illustration of the carcinogenic role of SMARCA1 in different carcinomas.
