Abstract

Lung adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell lung carcinoma (SCC) are two major subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous studies have demonstrated that fundamental differences exist in the underlying mechanisms of tumor development, growth and invasion between these subtypes. The investigation of differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) between these two NSCLC subtypes is useful for determining and understanding such differences. The present study aimed to identify those DEGs using meta-analysis and the data from four microarray experiments, consisting of 164 AC and 161 SCC samples. Raw gene expression values were converted into the probability of expression (POE) representing the differentially-expressed probability of a gene and expression barcode values representing its expression status. The results indicated that when applying a meta-analysis using barcode values, heterogeneity in genes across studies was less severe than when applying a meta-analysis using POE values. DEGs in each meta-analysis method overlapped substantially (P=1.3×10(-4)), but the barcode method yielded a lower global false discovery rate. Based on this and several other performance statistics, it was concluded that the barcode approach outpe...Continue Reading
