| الوصف: | Aim Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most diagnosed cancers worldwide. GC is a heterogeneous disease whose pathogenesis has not been entirely understood. Besides, the GC prognosis for patients remains poor. Hence, finding reliable biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GC patients is urgently needed. Methods GSE54129 and GSE26942 datasets were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Then, gene set enrichment analyses and protein-protein interactions were investigated. Afterward, ten hub genes were identified from the constructed network of DEGs. Then, the expression of hub genes in GC was validated. Performing survival analysis, the prognostic value of each hub gene in GC samples was investigated. Finally, the databases were used to predict microRNAs that could regulate the hub genes. Eventually, top miRNAs with more interactions with the list of hub genes were introduced. Results In total, 203 overlapping DEGs were identified between both datasets. The main enriched KEGG pathway was “Protein digestion and absorption.” The most significant identified GO terms included “primary alcohol metabolic process,” “basal part of cell,” and “extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength.” Identified hub modules were COL1A1, COL1A2, TIMP1, SPP1, COL5A2, THBS2, COL4A1, MUC6, CXCL8, and BGN. The overexpression of seven hub genes was associated with overall survival. Moreover, among the list of selected miRNAs, hsa-miR-27a-3, hsa-miR-941, hsa-miR-129-2-3p, and hsa-miR-1-3p, were introduced as top miRNAs targeting more than five hub genes. Conclusions The present study identified ten genes associated with GC, which may help discover novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets for GC. Our results may advance the understanding of GC occurrence and progression. |
