Abstract

The aim of the present study was to explore key molecular pathways contributing to gastric cancer (GC) and to construct an interaction network between significant pathways and potential biomarkers. Publicly available gene expression profiles of GSE29272 for GC, and data for the corresponding normal tissue, were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. Pre‑processing and differential analysis were performed with R statistical software packages, and a number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained. A functional enrichment analysis was performed for all the DEGs with a BiNGO plug‑in in Cytoscape. Their correlation was analyzed in order to construct a network. The modularity analysis and pathway identification operations were used to identify graph clusters and associated pathways. The underlying molecular mechanisms involving these DEGs were also assessed by data mining. A total of 249 DEGs, which were markedly upregulated and downregulated, were identified. The extracellular region contained the most significantly over‑represented functional terms, with respect to upregulated and downregulated genes, and the closest topological matches were identified for taste transduction and regulation of autophagy. In addition,...Continue Reading
