Screening of potentially crucial genes and regulatory factors involved in epithelial ovarian cancer using microarray analysis.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to screen potential genes implicated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and to further understand the molecular pathogenesis of EOC. In order to do this, datasets GSE14407 (containing 12 human ovarian cancer epithelia samples and 12 normal epithelia samples) and GSE29220 (containing 11 salivary transcriptomes from ovarian cancer patients with serous papillary adenocarcinoma and 11 matched controls) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) within these datasets were screened using the Linear Models for Microarray Data package, and potential gene functions were predicted by functional and pathway enrichment analyses. Additionally, module analysis of protein-protein interaction networks was performed using MCODE software in
