Systematic analysis of mRNA expression profiles in NSCLC cell lines to screen metastasis-related genes.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer in humans and has the lowest survival outcomes due to its high metastatic potential. The aim of the present study was to screen for metastasis‑related genes (MRGs) by investigating the differential expression genes (DEGs) identified by the mRNA expression profiles in SPC‑A‑1sci (highly metastatic) and SPC-A-1 (parental) cells. DEGs were screened using Genespring software. Gene Ontology and pathway enrichment analyses of these DEGs were performed. Interaction networks between the proteins encoded by the DEGs were identified using the database BioGRID and were visualized by Cytoscape. Modular analysis of the protein‑protein interaction network was performed in CFinder. Among these DEGs, the expression levels of 18 genes were examined in SPC‑A‑1sci and
