Prognostic and predictive values of CDK1 and MAD2L1 in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer remains as the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histological subtype. This study aims to investigate biomarkers associated with cancer progression and prognosis of LUAD. We integrated expression profiles of 668 lung cancer patients in five datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and identified a panel of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Function enrichment analysis highlighted that these genes were closely associated with the carcinogenesis of LUAD, such as cell cycle, ECM-receptor interaction and p53 signaling pathway. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and MAD2 mitotic arrest deficient-like 1 (MAD2L1), two critical mitotic checkpoint genes, were selected for further study. Elevated expression of CDK
