Oxidative stress gene expression in ulcerative colitis: implications for colon cancer biomarker discovery.

ABSTRACT: There is a complex interrelationship between colorectal cancer (CRC) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to identify key molecules and pathways involved in the co-occurrence of CRC and UC, as well as the role of oxidative stress in disease progression, through bioinformatics analysis of public RNA sequencing databases. We downloaded datasets from public repositories and conducted gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), screening for oxidative stress-related differentially expressed genes (OXSRDEGs) to evaluate their diagnostic potential. Subsequently, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses, followed by immune infiltration analysis using the single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT algorithms.
