摘要
目的:使用生物信息学来确定与非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)发展相关的潜在关键基因及其涉及的信号通路,探讨所得关键基因表达水平在NSCLC临床预后中的作用。方法:从GEO数据库中获取NSCLC基因芯片数据并使用R语言分析筛选差异表达基因;通过DAVID数据库进行差异基因的KEGG通路富集分析,通过STRING数据库及Cytoscape软件构建差异表达基因的蛋白—蛋白相互作用网络(PPI)并筛选关键基因。通过Kaplan Meier plotter在线数据库对NSCLC患者进行生存分析。结果:共筛选出61个差异表达基因;差异表达基因主要富集在癌症相关的信号通路;PPI网络分析表明,丝裂原活化蛋白激酶13(MAPK13)基因是重要的关键基因;Kaplan Meier plotter分析显示,MAPK13基因表达水平与NSCLC患者预后明显相关,MAPK13基因表达水平越高生存率越高(HR=0.8,95%CI:0.70~0.91,P<0.05)。结论:MAPK13基因在NSCLC的发生发展中可能起着重要作用,是潜在的预后分子标志物。
Objective:To identify the underlying key genes and involved signal pathways associated with the development of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)by bioinformatics analysis,and explore the effect of target gene expression in the prognosis of NSCLC.Methods:Microarray dataset of NSCLC was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,and differentially expressed genes were screened by using R software.Pathway enrichment analysis were performed based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database.A protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed through STRING and Cytoscape to screen key genes.The survival analysis was performed by Kaplan Meier plotter online tool.Results:A total of 61 differentially expressed genes were identified.The differentially expressed genes mainly involved in cancer related signaling pathway.The PPI network analysis suggested that mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)13 gene was a key gene.Kaplan Meier plotter analysis showed that the MAPK13 expression level was obviously correlated with the prognosis of NSCLC.The higher the MAPK13 level,the better the prognosis(HR=0.8,95%CI:0.70-0.91,P<0.05).Conclusion:MAPK13 might play an important role in the occurrence and development of NSCLC and it could be a potential prognostic molecular marker.
