Abstract: Objective To analyze the expression of ubiquitinated ligase TRIM56 in human
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its relationship with prognosis and immune infiltration
by bioinformatics methods. Methods The expression of TRIM56 in various tumors were
analyzed by UALCAN and TIMER databases. The expression of TRIM56 in human HCC
tissues were analyzed by UALCAN, TIMER, GEPIA and Human Protein Atlas databases.
different TRIM56 expression levels. TIMER database and GEPIA database were used to
analyze the correlation between the expression of TRIM56 and tumor purity and immune
infiltration levels. GeneMANIA database was used to screen genes related with TRIM56 and
DAVID database was used to conduct enrichment analysis on them. STRING database was
used to screen proteins related with TRIM56 and UbiBrowser database was used to analyze
potential ubiquitination substrates of TRIM56. Results Both GEPIA and UALCAN database
analyses indicated that the expression level of TRIM56 increased in human HCC tissues, and
its expression levels were related to tumor purity and immune cell infiltration levels (all P <
0.05). For Asian patients, the five-year overall survival rate and recurrence free survival rate
of TRIM56 mRNA high expression patients were significantly higher than those of TRIM56
mRNA low expression patients (HR = 0.43, Log-rank P = 0.029; HR = 0.45, Log-rank P =
0.016). For European and American patients, there were no statistically significant differences
in five-year overall survival rate or recurrence free survival rate (HR = 1.37, Log-rank P =
0.22; HR = 0.70, Log-rank P = 0.14). Gene interaction and enrichment analysis indicated that
TRIM56 may be involved in processes such as nucleotide repair and mitochondrial autophagy.
TP53 was the highest rated predicted ubiquitination substrate (0.867 points), which may be
related to TRIM56’s involvement in mediating the occurrence and development of human HCC.
Conclusions TRIM56 may be related to the occurrence, development and immune infiltration of
HCC, and its high expression may improve the survival rate of Asian HCC patients, which laid

the foundation for further research on the potential mechanism of TRIM56 in HCC.
