| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) has become a significant concern globally, particularly in
East Asian nations, in recent times. According to the GLOBOCAN database, GC is the fourth most
common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. This study aimed to
explore biomarkers based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that may act as a driver factor in
tumorigenesis.
Two sets (400 samples) of data were obtained from the GEO database, and each of these sets underwent
quality analysis through the application of PCA. Subsequently, the LIMMA package was utilized to
identify genes that exhibited differential expression. To determine the common DEGs between them, a
Venn diagram was employed. Furthermore, the TCGA RNA-seq results were employed to validate our
findings. Lastly, the relationship between the DEGs and the survival time of the disease was assessed
using the Kaplan-Meier plotter.
In two datasets, 14 genes were found to be significantly dysregulated (adj.P.val < 0.05). Among them,
three genes ATP4A, ESRRG, and ADIPOQ show a significant decrease in expression in both datasets.
Based on the information provided by the GeneCards and Reactome pathway databases, these genes
exert regulatory control over various crucial pathways, including Ion channel transport, Nuclear
Receptor transcription pathway, and AMPK Signaling Pathway. According to Kaplan-Meier plots DEGs
are correlated with poor prognosis in GC.
Our investigation revealed that the three genes ATP4A, ESRRG, and ADIPOQ play significant roles in
GC and they are correlated with poor prognosis in GC. |
