This study assessed expression, methylation, miRNA regulation, and clinical relevance of IKK-complex genes in UCEC using public datasets. RNA-seq expression (TCGA-UCEC; GEPIA2) showed significant downregulation of IKBKB in tumors versus normal endometrium (unpaired Wilcoxon), whereas CHUK and IKBKG showed non-significant increases; immunohistochemistry (Human Protein Atlas) illustrated heterogeneity and suggested possible mRNA\u2013protein discordance for IKBKB. Promoter methylation analysis (UALCAN; Illumina 450K) identified CHUK hypomethylation and IKBKG hypermethylation in tumors, with no significant change for IKBKB. Stratification showed IKBKB suppression across clinicopathological strata and TP53 mutant\/wild-type tumors; IKBKG decreased across subtypes and stages. Pan-cancer profiling (TIMER2.0) highlighted IKBKB as the broadly dysregulated IKK member across malignancies. STRING networks indicated connectivity with NF-\u03baB mediators (e.g., RELA, NFKB1, TRAF6). miRNA predictions (miRDB\/TargetScan) revealed shared regulation (CHUK\u2013IKBKB: 14 miRNAs; CHUK\u2013IKBKG: 2; IKBKB\u2013IKBKG: 0). Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis indicated that elevated IKBKG expression correlated with reduced overall survival (HR = 1.85, p = 0.0037), while CHUK expression did not correlate with survival, and IKBKB exhibited a non-significant trend. In a multivariable Cox regression analysis, high IKBKG expression continued to show a significant association with reduced overall survival, even after adjusting for age, histological type, histological grade, and TCGA molecular subtype (adjusted HR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.00\u20132.47, p = 0.048). These findings collectively suggest the potential prognostic significance of IKBKG in UCEC, although independent validation in larger, comprehensively annotated cohorts is still required. Collectively, these findings suggest IKBKG as a candidate negative prognostic marker and indicator in UCEC, warranting experimental validation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom16091296","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]],"date-time":"2026-09-08T10:00:04Z","timestamp":1788861604000},"page":"1296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comprehensive Bioinformatic and miRNA-Driven Analysis of the Multimeric Canonical I Kappa B Kinase (IKK) Complex in Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3296-0232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasemin","family":"Dadas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Nigde 51240, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"funding-acquisition","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1459-0606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enes","family":"Karaman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Nigde 51240, Turkey"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Private Tekden Hospital, Kayseri 38010, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1708-3036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ergul","family":"Bayram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Biochemistry, Nigde Omer Halisdemir University Research and Training Hospital, Nigde 51100, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2615-8474","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Durmus","family":"Ayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Nigde 51240, Turkey"},{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry, Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Ankara 06200, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"318.e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2019.05.024","article-title":"Assessing Endometrial Cancer Risk among US Women: Long-Term Trends Using Hysterectomy-Adjusted Analysis","volume":"221","author":"Doll","year":"2019","journal-title":"Am.
