Identification of Significant Genes With Poor Colorectal Cancer Prognosis In Via Bioinformatical Analysis
Abstract Purpose:Identification of significant genes with poor colorectal cancer prognosis in via bioinformatical analysis.Method:Gene expression profiles of GSE74602、 GSE110223、GSE113513 and GSE 141174 were available from GEO database. There are 65 CRC tissues and 65 normal tissues in the four profile datasets. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CRC tissues and normal tissues were picked out by GEO2R tool and Venn diagram software. Next, we made use of the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) to analyze Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathway and gene ontology (GO). Then protein-protein interaction (PPI) of these DEGs with Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING).Results:There were total of 171 consistently expressed genes in the four datasets, including 148 up-regulated and 23 down-regulated genes. up-regulated DEGs were particularly enriched in oxidation-reduction process, in extracellular exosome, in zinc ion binding, in Metabolic pathways, Mineral absorption; and down-regulated DEGs in positive regulation of cell proliferation, in cytosol, in One carbon pool by folate. Furthermore, for the analysis of overall survival among those genes, Kaplan–Meier analysis was implemented and 30 of 88 genes had a significantly worse prognosis. For validation in Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), 13 of 30 genes were discovered highly expressed in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues. Furthermore, MYC 和 FGFR3 markedly enriched in the Bladder cancer pathway.Conclusion: We have identified two significant up-regulated DEGs with poor prognosis in CRC , which could be potential therapeutic targets for CRC patients.
