Cross talk between tumors and the immune microenvironment play a critical role in the malignant progression. The osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR) is a regulator of lymphocyte differentiation and maturation, but little is known about the role of OSCAR in multiple cancer types. We comprehensively analyzed OSCAR expression and explored its correlation with prognosis in multiple cancer types using Oncomine, TIMER, Gene GEPIA2 and CCLE. We examined OSCAR expression correlations with lymph node metastasis and pathological stage across tumor samples using UALCAN and GEPIA2. We analyzed the effects of OSCAR on survival using the Kaplan Meier plotter. We explored genes co-expressed with OSCAR using the LinkedOmics database and analyzed associated gene ontologies using Metascape. Further, we examined the correlation between OSCAR expression and immunocyte infiltration, markers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and lymphocyte subtypes using TIMER. OSCAR mRNA levels were upregulated in most cancer types compared with adjacent normal tissues. Higher expression of OSCAR correlated with lymph node metastasis or advanced stage subgroups. High expression of OSCAR was related to low tumor purity, with increased levels of M2 macrophage polarization, T cells exhaustion, and mesenchymal phenotype in most cancer types. We also showed that the strength of OSCAR expression influence in malignant progression and inhibitory immune microenvironment is mitigated by the infiltration of natural killer cells. These findings shed light on the pro-carcinogenic role of OSCAR in most cancer types and indicate OSCAR could be targeted in future therapeutics to reverse the inhibitory immune microenvironment.
