Background. The aim of this study was to identify novel biomarkers associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) prognosis. Methods. 81 ESCC samples collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used as the training set, and 179 ESCC samples collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO) were used as the validation set. The protein-coding genes of 25 samples from patients who completed the follow-up in TCGA were analyzed to construct a coexpression network by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). Gene ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways analyses were performed for the selected genes. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression model was constructed to analyze survival-related genes, and an optimal prognostic model was developed as well as evaluated by Kaplan–Meier and ROC curves. Results. In this study, a module containing 43 protein-coding genes and strongly related to overall survival (OS) was identified through WGCNA. These genes were significantly enriched in retina homeostasis, antimicrobial humoral response, and epithelial cell differentiation. Besides, through the LASSO regression model, 3 genes (PDLIM2, DNASE1L3, and KRT81) significantly related to ESCC survival were screened and an optimal prognostic 3-gene risk prediction model was constructed. ESCC patients with low and high OS in both sets could be successfully discriminated by calculating a risk score with the linear combination of the expression level of each gene multiplied by the LASSO coefficient. Conclusions. Our study identified three novel biomarkers that have potential in the prognosis prediction of ESCC.

Background. Identification of potential molecular targets of acute myocardial infarction is crucial to our comprehensive understanding of the disease mechanism. However, studies of gene coexpression analysis via jointing multiple microarray data of acute myocardial infarction still remain restricted. Methods. Microarray data of acute myocardial infarction (GSE48060, GSE66360, GSE97320, and GSE19339) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database. Three data sets without heterogeneity (GSE48060, GSE66360, and GSE97320) were subjected to differential expression analysis using MetaDE package. Differentially expressed genes having upper 25% variation across samples were imported in weighted gene coexpression network analysis. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were conducted for genes in the most significant module using DAVID. The predicted microRNAs to regulate target genes in the most significant module were identified using TargetScan. Moreover, subpathway analyses using iSubpathwayMiner package and GenCLiP 2.0 were performed on hub genes with high connective weight in the most significant module. Results. A total of 1027 differentially expressed genes and 33 specific modules were screened out between acute myocardial infarction patients and control samples. Ficolin (collagen/fibrinogen domain containing) 1 (FCN1), CD14 molecule (CD14), S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100A9), and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) were identified as critical target molecules; hsa-let-7d, hsa-let-7b, hsa-miR-124-3, and hsa-miR-9-1 were identified as potential regulators of the expression of the key genes in the two biggest modules. Conclusions. FCN1, CD14, S100A9, ALDH2, hsa-let-7d, hsa-let-7b, hsa-miR-124-3, and hsa-miR-9-1 were identified as potential candidate regulators in acute myocardial infarction. These findings might provide new comprehension into the underlying molecular mechanism of disease.
