Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death process. Although ferroptosis inducers hold promising potential in the treatment of breast cancer, the specific role and mechanism of the ferroptosis-related gene EMC2 in breast cancer have not been entirely determined. The potential roles of EMC2 in different tumors were explored based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2), Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), Shiny Methylation Analysis Resource Tool (SMART), starBase, and cBioPortal for cancer genomics (cBioPortal) datasets. The expression difference, mutation, survival, pathological stage, DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), and immune cell infiltration related to EMC2 were analyzed. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to identify the differences in biological processes and functions among different related genes. The expression levels of core prognostic genes were then verified in breast invasive carcinoma samples using immunohistochemistry and breast invasive carcinoma cell lines using real-time polymerase chain reaction. High expression levels of EMC2 were observed in most cancer types. EMC2 expression in breast cancer tissue samples correlated with poor overall survival. EMC2 was mutated and methylated in a variety of tumors and affected survival. The LINC00665-miR-410-3p axis was identified as the most potential upstream ncRNA-related pathway of EMC2 in breast cancer. EMC2 levels were significantly positively correlated with tumor immune cell infiltration, immune cell biomarkers, and immune checkpoint expression. Our study offers a comprehensive understanding of the oncogenic roles of EMC2 across different tumors. The upregulation of EMC2 expression mediated by ncRNAs is related to poor prognosis and tumor immune infiltration in breast cancer.
